Uncle Drew Playin With The Nephews By The 7/11: Official 2017-18 Boston Celtics Season Thread

Well, Gordon said himself he's not coming back this year. I still had hope.

Hopefully we can get a impact player with the injury exception.

One complaint I have about this team is Nader. Hopefully our team is healthy enough so he doesn't have to play significant minutes. Today we were up 24 points and I had the face watching that dude play

I was initially high on him but he has been looking very shaky in recent appearances.

I have no idea who Danny could add with the exception. I'm not sure there's a large pool of players for him to choose from though.

Before Wednesday's game against the Kings, Stevens said Hayward had visited the team at its facility and recently traded in his hard cast for a walking boot. Stevens said Hayward is in high spirits and doing all he can to remain active.

"From everything I know, it's not a whole lot, but he's doing his chair shooting every day," Stevens said. "He seems to be in really good spirits, which is most important."

"Obviously, we're anticipating and expecting to be a full complete great recovery, but he certainly has a long road. The most important thing, again, is how he feels."

I think our bench has been the best/deepest in the league thus far.

We got Rozier, Smart, Ojeleye, Theis, Yabusele and we're still waiting on Morris.

And Ojeleye's defense on Fox was

Kyrie's going on about how the Cs provide a winning culture that'll benefit Jayson and Jaylen's growth as players; he said the C's culture contrasts to his situation in Cleveland pre-Bron's return where he admitted to developing bad playing habits he had to break out from.

There seems like there's some legs to this story but I just don't see him fitting in given his lack of defensive effort and attitude problems...



Celtics would be most likely destination for Jahlil Okafor

Sixrs broke him. Just need a change of scenery.

 

[Tide Run This]

Get Okafor ASAP

He's a stat padder clearly just playing for money

Now that you mention it....that bench would give opposition and coaches fit. Too much offense.

 

[SchoolboyC]

I mean...I'd rather spend the DPE on Okafor than some vet that gets bought out at the deadline

Irving/Rozier
Brown/Smart
Tatum/Morris
Horford/Ojeleye
Baynes/Okafor

is potent

 

[NkrumahWasRight Is Wrong]

Give okafor 3/15 so we have his bird rights just in case he pans out

 

[JarrodG]

Do you think Marcus Morris going to steal minutes away from Tatum?

Nah. He'll probably take minutes away from Ojeleye and Theis.

 

[William F. Russell]

This team is a contender. Point. Blank. Period.

The league's been put on notice.
