Also if this team wants to do anything in the playoffs, moves have to be made to shore up the bench. Outside of Kanter & Smart, it's basically all rookies and undrafted players. That shyt ain't gonna cut it.

Trade Hayward for a back up Big Man and bench depth

Stevens got to go. He’s not the right coach for this team. Runs no offense, makes terrible substitutions and doesn’t seem to have the locker room as much as he used to.

Why are y'all going crazy? Jaylen been out last couple games, no Kemba tonight, Tatum missed a game last week
I wouldnt go that far but the rotations were trash tonight
I can tolerate losing to Milwaukee & Philly on the road.
But they've lost four games to teams under .500 in the past 2 weeks with 3 of them at home and two of them being blowouts. Even with the injuries there's no excuse for that.

We desperately need a Center or two who can defend the paint and rebound. Theis is soft and Enes has never been a good defender. Robert's the only guy on our team who can block shots but who knows if he'll even return this season. And the reckless way he plays he won't last long in the league due to injuries. Hayward is mentally and physically cooked, and slumps around like eyore all the time. Tatum continues to miss layups, cry to the refs for calls while the other team gets fast break points on the other end. fukk Drew Hanlen, he need to work with an actual former NBA small forward in the off season(*cough* Paul Pierce *cough*). Stevens continues to be overrated and run that bullshyt offense. We're most likely gonna have 3 first round picks this year. Do you think Ainge will swing for the fences and draft 3 big guys to see if one or two of them can play defense and rim run? Or will he trade down, draft a couple point guards and some obscure Euro who no one's ever heard about who'll be stashed in the Bulgarian second division come over in 2 years get paid first rounder money and be the fifteenth man on the bench?
When the bench cut the lead to 5 and then the Suns brought Booker & Ayton back in, he should’ve immediately brought Tatum & Smart back. Phoenix went on like a 8-0 run after that.
But honestly he didn’t have much to work with period. This team has no depth.
At full strength our 8th-15th men are: Grant Williams, Semi Ojeleye, Robert Williams, Brad Wanamaker, Carsen Edwards, Romeo Langford, Javonte Green, Vincent Poirier.
- Grant is a good defender and is a high IQ player but he is undersized and almost useless on offense.
- Semi is a decent defender that brings nothing to the table offensively except bricking open 3’s.
- Who knows when Time Lord will be back, but even though he’s had some good games, he still has a ways to go.
- Wanamaker was great the first month of the season & has been horrible since.
- Edwards to this point is a shotmaker that doesn’t hit his shots.
- Langford is green as hell.
- And Green & Poirier are just not NBA players.

I wouldn’t say Theis is soft, but the reality is he’s a situational big that’s forced to be a nightly starting center because this team lacks options.
I said the same EXACT thing to my buddy when we were watching the game at the 5 point spot in the game. That was a no brainer

Any criticism regarding Tatum and Brown, we can chalk it up to them being young and developing
But man, you are 100% with Hayward. He is mentally and physically shot. Not saying dude's career is over, but he is nowhere near a max player. And his his contract is costing the Celtics from acquiring bench depth and a capable big man
And Theis is soft as hell and should not be a starting big. Would love him off the bench though
