This is a horribly coached basketball team. Part of me wants to see the absolutely fucking toxic fanbase that is the Celtics fanbase getting their wish of having Brad fired so we can hire a random dude and see what a badly coached team looks like. |

Sooo, let’s hope this is the low point of the season?
What if we got rid of Kemba, Theis, Thompson, and Teague, and just played the players who fit Jayson and Jaylen’s timeline? That way, losses like this aren’t so bad.

I think he was referring to the guy who was 8/9 from the like as not being able to hit FTs. The guy who was 7/23 tonight, missing many layups and shots in the paint. Who is having a career FT year at just under 76%, but his career avg is still ~68%. His touch is garbage. |

Yeah fuck that guy, trade him too. Fire Brad, trade JaYlen, give more minutes to JAGs like Semi and Grant. That's how you win basketball games! |

Also, after tonight his number is almost 77%. And you’re complaining about one bad shooting night from a guy who’s literally been one of the most efficient scorers in the league. |

I wonder if the Raptors fans are also doing this shit with Nick Nurse.

Smart is the heartbeat of this team, they play indifferent basketball without him
Danny has already put the season on himself and said they aren’t a championship team as currently constructed, he’s not wrong

They’re ramping up timelords minutes as the season goes on *eyeball emoji*
At least that’s what I read from their Facebook account

About as bad of a loss as you will see lol.
At least Nesmith has been better the past few games..
Danny and Brad *are* actually both extremely overrated and mediocre, at least the past 2-3 years, no matter how much any of you believe they are above criticism.

Danny deserve a ton of blame and Steven's also deserves some. It's a flawed roster for sure, I just don't get Brad changing lineups and roles almost nightly. The long stretches where it just three point shot after three point shot. That being said, let's be realistic, they have been to the conference finals 3 out of the last 4 years. Still one of the best combos in the league and the talk of firing either guy is crazy.

Anyone else surprised at how well Nesmith takes it to the rim and absorbs contact? For someone who barely shoots, he seems to get to the line a lot.
I look forward to him getting more aggressive on that end or the floor.

Okay can we now talk about Hart and Ball? I've actually seen a bunch of both of these guys, yet that was darn impressive NBA playoffs style D by those two. Sign me up for both please.

How about this, Nesmith, Pritchard, Rob Williams, Jayson, Jaylen. When Smart comes back, you switch out Nesmith or Pritchard, matchup dependent. Kemba is dead to me. |

Kemba goes in a trade package...
Is the bloom off the Pritchard rose?

Big fan of Josh Hart. He plays tough, kinda need another dog like that Yeah I mean you already know my feelings on Lonzo, I’m game for both of them. They could use the size and athleticism in the back court Lonzo would be my #1 trade deadline target at this point in time |

They could use the size and athleticism in the back court Lonzo would be my #1 trade deadline target at this point in time Been following everyone on that list Texas posted of trade targets. He's 6'5" and had a 17 rebound game this year. 6'5" with a 6'8.5" wingspan, 38.5 max vertical and very strong. Can play SG or SF and yeah he's tough. He's come a long way from those Lakers days. Given the report on Robert Williams, you could easily have the best defensive team in the league adding those guys. Gives you multiple ways to play and you'd actually have legit depth. |

According to Ric Bucher, Danny tried hard to trade Kemba and teams are pissed (bc they know he was trying to dump damaged goods). How true that is we don't know but it's probably safe to say (between this and what Deveney said on a pod with Adam Kaufman), Kemba is virtually untradeable right now. And, as long as he is able to walk out on the floor, he's part of the rotation. Stevens just has to figure out how to space his minutes and games to optimize a non-optimal situation.

If Balls shooting improvements are legit then I’d be happy to have him, if NOLA thinks they are then he’s probably not all that attainable short of a monster package, but I’d try. What do you expect it to take? I’d trade Romeo and a first, but doubtful that’d get it done.
I would have to see the trade packages but I’m not sure I won’t both Hart and Ball. I still want minutes for whoever is left from Pritchard, Nesmith and Langford.

The question I have for Danny is given that, why did he bring in Teague? Who's an undersized PG who lost the quickness that made him really good at one point. Thus leaving only a rookie in Pritchard. He's been great, yet he's also undersized. Edwards and Waters are undersized and Green has no ability to create. Could have taken Bane, who can at least can create a little and offers great D. Giving you the ability to go with a defensive lineup with Smart/Bane.
I'm just confused, a team that wants to put defense first puts together a crazy bad defensive group of PGs that are all undersized. I really don't understand what he was thinking. Simply bringing back Wanamaker fixes a bunch of issues.
