Well .. Neismith has been working harder than anyone out there. Its up to Brad to increase his minutes. If he is smart, this is the time to play him and romeo to get them going for the future. Yeah well the last game proved Stevens isn't smart. In 19 minutes Nesmith has 16 pts and no turnovers. Walker in 40 minutes had 18 pts and 4 turnovers. Walker lack of D cost us double what he scored... I feel like Walker needs to score 25 a night to break even in terms of what he gives up defensively. In the playoffs where teams go right at your weakness every time it's even more But we've been having this conversation since Isaiah Thomas

Yeah, but we have to play Walker to have any chance of trading him...when the heck does his contract expire?...please tell me at the end of next year...not longer...

We werent going anywhere but it will be interesting to see how they respond especially the young ones. Lets see how much fight they have in them. But as long as walker keeps shooting it all, the young ones will not show any confidence. Walker needs to pass the fkn ball when possible. As simple as that.

We get to see what Fournier is worth, and we will get to see a lot of Nesmith, whether we want to or not.
We were going nowhere this year, because we are, and never were as good as last year.
It would not surprise me to win the first round, because that is Brad's MO......but no ECF this year, we just have to deal with it

It would not surprise me to win the first round, because that is Brad's MO......but no ECF this year, we just have to deal with it It’s amazing why we are not as good as last year. We had Hayward albeit wounded, Theis & Morris I think...forgot who else. But now without them Prichard, Nesmith, Fournier & TT. I know Brown is out but we still were erratic with him playing. Real problem is our other 2 big scorers Tatum & Kemba, Tatum gets 60 1 night & 9 pts another & Kemba is all over the place ....don’t think he scored 20 two games in a row. Curry is a player who is consistent...30+ points and on a team where he is double teamed because the Warriors don’t have the supposed stars we do...HA!

Curry is a player who is consistent...30+ points and on a team where he is double teamed because the Warriors don’t have the supposed stars we do...HA!
Despite his inconsistent games played, it was Hayward who made us the #1 perimeter defense in the league last season. His length, speed and strength enabled him to cover threes and he also sacrificed shots to facilitate others ... a point forward. Danny did not replace his skills with the trade for Fournier. Gordon made Brown & Tatum's defensive jobs less taxing but now he's gone and we are ranked #18 on perimeter defense ... a huge difference!
So we have plenty of holes ... center, length/speed at forward to guard the perimeter and a real PG with size. The 1st thing to help right the ship would be a trade of Kemba for either a center or a PG but the C's may have to pay salary & give up picks to get that done. Rather than pay Fournier, we'd be better served giving that $ to Turner and going with Nesmith and Payton for shooting unless an affordable SG can be had. The hardest hole to fill will be the quick, long forward ... a Bridges type that won't be shaken from any trees so easily.

Dont buy it. One could make a case for a bad team being bad but we are better on paper than what our record shows. Say all you want, our coach is not cutting it period.

No they don't grow on trees true..
Fournier will cost more than Turner especially if he has another game last the last one..

Petey's known for the truth well here is my truth: If this was any other team I would say they had quit on their coach and everybody would agree with me.

And if they have quit on their coach, he needs to go. However, I want to see the rest of the season. How many games have we had a full squad? I'm say definitively after the playoffs

The players quit on the coach.? Yeah all friggin' 15 of them..
Stevens tried to develope a ultra switching defense this year,,
Instead of encoraging players to fight thu screens they automatico switch..
He's fucked up the defense anyone that has watched any games would have know this,
Stevens is most likely quiting. If you were a player how would you feal if ya coach offered to quit ?.. Stevens went to Ainge and offered this reportably more than once
Be a man and just say Stevens is not cut out for a NBA COACH..... The lack of confidence is mostly all on Stevens. If not he wouldn't have offered to step down.

Tonight we'll see just what this team is made of. I SINCERELY HOPE to see a focused, motivated Celtics team come out tonight against the Heat.
I said "sincerely hope" but realistically, I think we'll see a beaten, downtrodden team that has given up. We'll come out focused but after Miami throws a punch and makes a run, you'll see the Celtics begin to wilt. This team is not mentally tough and that lack of toughness will be so obvious tonight. I'm going to look for players with their heads down, players who are out there trying to get their numbers, stuff like that.
As much as I'd LOVE to see the Celtics come out and compete and win, I highly doubt we have the resolve for that. I have this feeling that we are going to get rolled again on our home court.
Honestly, AND I HOPE I'M WRONG, I don't see the Celtics winning another game this season.

Let me see if i can find it.. It could possible not have been true just like TT having the Virus or Brown having a bad ankle that was keeping him out.. No luck.Quaig . My access to some US websites arn't available here.. It was posted on this forum back around the ist of the year.. I'm not up to par today damn Insomnia kept me up all nite..

Two large minuses. I going to see if i can walk off this damn insomia before it hits 100 its 95 now...
