I think you could make the argument he’s the 2nd most important player on the team, and he’s no worse than 3rd I definitely think he's second most important and impactful after Tatum. You under rate Brown and I love RWIII. If Rob can prove he's healthy he's easily #3. After this year would Smart be someone you could move. He's starting to have his own health issues. He seems like he's helped excelerate the two J's growth as players/leaders and I think he might bring back the most value without hurting the teams ceiling. He's getting older NBA wise, he plays hard all the time. He's starting to miss time. I'm beggining to see Pedroia early stages. I'd rather trade a player a year to early than to late. I'm not sold on the idea yet but I think he'd be the rare trade that could bring back more value than any other player you'd consider trading. That and we are loaded at point guard. |

This is the kind of game where they could use Brown’s ability to create his own shot and defense.

Getting killed on the fast break, even on made baskets. You can tell they have tired legs.

Tatum looks exhausted and frustrated by O’Neal and is a little too iso heavy, but fortunately the rest of the team is picking him up.

No Horford or Brown will defeat no Durant. Great win.

Great stuff on the second night of a back to back. Kornet has balls of steel.

Also, sorry for the double post but it's unrelated to the Celtics, I was a huge Ben Simmons fan. I still think he plays excellent defense and he's a great all around player. But when you're making that kind of money, you can NOT post ZERO points in a game like this, I'm sorry. No matter how much we overthink this, ZERO points is uncanny.

Love to see the team pick up Tatum when he clearly didn't have it.

Not to be nit picky bc i get your overall point but I can’t get on board with calling someone who sucks at scoring a great all around player. |

Oh absolutely, I get you, his game is terribly flawed despite the things he's really good at. But as I was watching the game, I thought he played well. He was active, not like a JAG you can clearly see that doesn't belong. But zero points? It's unreal how someone with that skillset gets a donut, not even a putback? Such a puzzling player. I think this word is overused to the point of being meaningless, but the only explanation I come up with is that dude is SOFT. |

Everyone was talking about the Nets. It's good to put them back in there place. This team doesn't sweat the Nets.

A bunch of you guys sound like Tommy about Walter McCarthy with Kornet. He was last on team with Smart a plus minus of zero. Pritchard was a team leading plus 13, yet the posts are 3 to 1 in favor of Kornet. Not judging, just point it out, I certainly get a good laugh once a week and found memories of Tommy. Carry on.

I think it’s kind of a joke. There’s something about Kornet that seems particularly un-nba. |

It’s Boston. Of course the tall gangly white guy is going to be a big hit. The short white guy, too.

Maybe Lebron was right on hating Boston.

Fast PP is a legit NBA player and anyone who isn't a complete casual can tell you that Kornet really isn't. They're completely different aside from being goofy white dudes. Celebrating Kornet having a good game is rooting for the folk hero, the one who doesn't have a shot being there by complete chance. The working class hero. One of us. |

The UniKorn has the same amount of athleticism as any of us, he just happens to be 7’2.
I’ve been a kornet guy since vanderbilt though. Just a weird player. I like weird players.
He had a sick pass to Tatum the other night
KORNET ORTG 144 DRTG 111
Only guy getter is Timelord with a 150-108. He’s so good lol

It’s not just a Boston thing. Goofy white guys always make great NBA cult figures. Boban, Kevin Huerter, and Austin Reaves are three other current players who have become fan favorites in part because of their lack of melanin.
