I’m with it ngl :ehh:

Cheap, played here before, passable 3-pt shot, good defender and athlete. I would like a small move like this at the deadline like this. Springer & Tillman should be on the market.

Even though he's not ready, Walsh should get some minutes to add energy off the bench. That double big lineup off the bench is slow as hell. Also, please no more 3 guard lineup of Holiday, White, and Pritchard. It didn't work in the finals and it ain't working now.

This season the Celtics bench is trash outside of Pritchard and the inexperienced players (Walsh, Queta)

I'm fine with any player coming to the team from the trade deadline lol

Welp, last year was amazing, We are cooked this year. Kristaps, White and maybe even Holliday, pack your bags. The Ownership ain't gonna go for paying these dudes all that money when they play mediocre game after game. Al, thank you for your service, you can retire now.

Al Horford is DONE. Needs to be traded

Trade deadline should be completely emptying the bench outside of Pritchard, Queta, and Walsh. I still think bench production is one of the most important reasons why Celtics are in this slump. The starters are having to expend too much energy to make up for a terrible bench

49ers..Braves..Celtics
Guys... chill Lol. This happens all the time in the NBA. Yeah, the Cavs and Thunder are hungry but that's also because they've never won. Now, am I pleased with what I saw? Of course not and I do think the bench might need some tweaking as well but I'm not sitting here throwing the season away yet.

I said this on another thread. I’d go back to the same starting 5 we had to start the season with Horford at the 5, he demands less than Porzingis, seems like we force feeding him and it’s fukking up the flow of the offense, we starting games with double digit deficits. We have played better with Horford starting (19-4), we are 9-8 with Porzingis starting because this year seems like there’s not enough shots/touches for players to get in a groove.

We’ll have a better Bench with Pritchard and KP coming off the Bench.

Bad games happen over the course of the season. They’ve been consistently playing rough basketball for a month straight. That’s what’s concerning

Hes gotten some rotation shots but I’ve been largely unimpressed. Feels like a poor man’s Avery Bradley. Also he’s just one of the few expendable contracts we have

I feel u but sometimes championship teams get bored. I'm not saying there aren't some valid concerns but boredom could be some of this...

Tbh what concerns me the most has been how many of these losses have come down to them just completely unraveling in the 4th quarter. I think I saw a stat on Twitter where they’ve been one of the worst 4th quarter teams in the league since December
