Bro
I cannot believe that Dallas got Nerlens for that bag of shyt
And the fukked up thing is, he wanted to be here
Noel would've given us EXACTLY what our team is missing.
Colangelo is a dumb ass. Mavs got away with highway robbery.
Ainge is shook.
Probably gonna try to get washed up ass Bogut from the buyout rack
But yeah he once again dropped the ball, not trying to improve this awful ass frontcourt

And people keep talking about how we're 2nd in the East and that is true. But it's not like we have 12 game advantage.
And the fact is that Washington, Toronto & Atlanta all made moves to improve their teams for this final stretch and Ainge did nothing. Better hope he gets a gem from the buyout rack or there's some type of natural improvement coming
It's very real that we could fukk around and be a 4/5 seed again

I've disagreed with you a lot over the past few days, but this post is a 10000% true. There was an arms race in the east and Danny Ainge sat with his thumb up his ass. Even some marginal help would have been nice. We've had a rebounding deficiency for god knows how long and he didnt address it(maybe he tried but
) The 2nd half of the season will be telling.

I feel like Ainge is the type where he wants to go all in on a big trade and if it doesn't work out then he doesn't have a backup plan
Philadelphia is expected to buy out Bogut soon, and the Celtics would then have until March 1 to sign him — the date that would make him eligible for the playoffs. Such a deal would most likely be low enough that the Celtics could fit him under the salary cap.
Celtics could pounce to add Andrew Bogut to roster

The Celtics were not interested in giving up significant assets for a 25-game rental player who would most likely be a reserve playing limited minutes.
In addition, the Celtics were hesitant to break up a core group that’s playing well despite key members of that core being limited or unavailable for long stretches altogether.
Regardless of the rationale behind standing pat, the Celtics will be criticized in some circles for not making a deal that would have better positioned them to make a run at Cleveland or better solidify their standing as the No. 2 team in the East.
But just like when they stood pat last year, the decision puts the onus on the players and the coaching staff to step up their games.
Danny Ainge’s decision to keep this group intact speaks to some degree about the confidence he has in them to continue to get better.

Must win tonight. Can't let Toronto take the H2H tiebreaker
Bradley still limited in practices but I think Jaylen should be ready

Ibaka first game,ACC gonna be lit...
Haven't won in Toronto in nearly 2 years. It'll be tough, but like I said it's a game that could have significant implications on seeding. We got screwed out of homecourt by tiebreakers last year
