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

I feel u... but last night was a positive sign. Orlando has become one of the "you don't wanna see them" teams in the East and we waxed them with ease

I really think a lot of it is boredom right now

Brad Stevens watched this Jaden Springer game like :blessed: :blessed: :blessed: like finally he could be a tradeable asset


Lol but nah, great game by him. Need way more production off the bench. It showed every opposing team's gameplan is to double/triple team Jayson and Jaylen and make the Celtics bench beat them

Brad needs to be active in the trade deadline

Brehs, what do you ya'll think of Jaden Springer? Should the Celtics keep him beyond the trade deadline?

I feel he has some potential and a very very good perimeter defender. But just being realistic, when the playoffs roll around that 3 guard rotation of Jrue, White, and Pritchard would make him unplayable. Plus I feel the Celtics really need a wing

Springer has provided great energy these past few games, but I agree, we need another PF/SF who can defend multiple positions, run the floor, hit shots, and take some pressure off Jayson and Jaylen. I like Tillman, he played good minutes last year, but if Mazzulla is not gonna play him he can be added to trade talks. Kornet is another dude I'd put in the trade pot, but with Porzingis' injury concerns we need the bodies. I still would like Walsh and Schierman to stay. One guy is already a good defender and athletic who just needs experience, and the other can shoot, drive, post up, and most importantly, pass. They both just need experience. Springer is a free agent so he might have been a goner in the summer anyway. Maybe we can clear some spots and sign Oshae and Lonnie Walker for the playoff run.

If we stay healthy, in the playoffs I expect Tatum and Brown to play 40 minutes a game. Holiday and White 36-38 minutes. I'd like to see Porzingis and Horford be the 2 Centers. Pritchard being the guy who gives White and Holiday a breather. Hauser playing his 12-14 minutes to spread the floor. If we can have another 6'8-6'10 guy to be that athletic wing it would be amazing. Kornet and Queta can play spot minutes against big teams.

Facts, I agree. Walsh, Schierman, and Queta should remain on the team. They have alot of upside and just need more experience. Not sure they can contribute this upcoming playoffs, but for sure would be more of an asset next year. I'm hearing the Celtics are open to trading Springer for Day'Ron Sharpe from the Nets

Boston Celtics trade rumors: $4,018,363 opens pathway for 18x champs to land this 6-foot-9 big from East rival




If 6'9/6'10 PF. Not a bad choice :ehh:

Porzingis has been literally amazing this season, both offensively and defensively. No complaints about him whatsoever
