:mjcry: man Giannis is a damn good player. Drafting Olynyk over the Freak is the only major mistake Danny has made. The other one was not drafting Deandre Jordan instead of JR Giddens in 08. But who could have predicted Deandre's impact?

Prayers for Marcus and his Mom. If we make to the next round and he comes back he just needs to be a defensive force, handle the ball and set guys up, and not take away shots from our scorers. Teams will sag off everyone else and dare him to shoot though.:mjgrin:

“He just continues to get better,” Stevens said of Rozier shortly after the call began. “Obviously we’ve talked about his competitiveness, his athleticism and his work ethic being at the highest level, and that usually lends to good players improving quickly.”

“I don’t know if that’s opportunity or if that’s growth, right?”
he said. “He’s worked hard to grow and to get better and clearly has improved every day that he’s been here.

“It goes back to his competitiveness and his work ethic, and then I think that’s showcased by opportunity.”

Stephen A speaking that realness. :sas1:


Besides, yesterday Bryron Scott was talking about Kawhi strong arming his way to the Lakers. Kawhi's a LA area kid, Paul George is a LA area kid, and they both dream of playing for the Lakers.

Thank you!!!

Stephen A Smith said the best quote, why trade for Kawhi, cause Jaylen and Jayson would eventually become a Kawhi anyway, and they are much younger :blessed:


Gordon Hayward, Jaylen, Jayson, Kyrie... that is a championship level team. Why break that up :gucci:

Before the start of the season, the idea of Jaylen Brown leading the Celtics in playoff scoring would’ve obviously seemed unlikely. Yet with injuries depriving Boston of their top options, the mantle has passed to the second-year forward.

Brown, 21, has delivered so far in the postseason. Even in a Game 4 loss against the Bucks, Brown totaled a career high 34 points. His scoring ability helped Boston close a 20-point deficit. Despite falling in the end, it was an impressive performance.

And through four postseason contests, Brown is pacing the Celtics’ offense with 23.8 points per game.

If Brown continues to lead the team in playoff points, he would become the youngest player to do so in Celtics history. Granted, NBA rookies weren’t usually 21 years old in decades before the 1990s.

Jaylen Brown could join an exclusive list in Celtics history
