still doesn't change the fact for Kyrie.Celtics defensive rating jumped 10 points when Isaiah was on the bench.
They gave up on trying to add a big man to go alongside Horford. That guy just wasn't available.How do you guys feel about Boston's current roster? Just looking at the roster it looks incomplete like something is missing.
I just wanna see Demarcus Cousins finally experience playoff basketball brehs. Is that asking for too much?

Kyrie is just as bad of a defender as ITLosing Bradley & Crowder will hurt, but also people have to account for the fact that Isaiah is gone. He was arguably the biggest defensive liability in the league, the Celtics defense last season literally went from being one of the worst in the league to the best when he went to the bench. So yeah losing two of your 3 best defensive players is gonna hurt, but also losing Isaiah is addition by subtraction. Kyrie isn't exactly Gary Payton but he's still miles ahead of Isaiah.
And yeah, the frontcourt depth is awful. Baynes is the only thing close to an interior presence and ideally he's not someone you want playing more than 15 MPG. Morris is a tweener, Horford is soft inside and the rest are all rooks.

At least IT got the excuse of being short as fukk and carrying yal offensively - what the fukk has been Kyrie's problem the last three years?
anyway to watch that warriors game?
All things considered, it's probably the best option.Lue talking about starting Love at the 5
