FIRST (after so long ;D )
TP FLCeltsFan! Another great write up!
Lets convince Paul George that Boston is the place to come this summer and for years to come!
Oh and lets make it 2 straight. Lock up that #2 seed C's 8)
Go Celts. Play determined like the last game.
That's such a bad call. He went into AB. The NBA really has to rein in these pump fake foul calls like that.
Oh Jaylen! That was sweet!
Brown!!
Oh Jaylen! That was sweet!
They need to go back to that again and again...
So I wonder if we're going to start seeing less and less of Rozier as the playoffs near and the rotation tightens. Brad today said that the playoff rotation will largely consist of the starting five and Smart playing big minutes. Add Brown and KO in there for 10-15 minutes a game apiece and that's probably the entire playoff rotation.

Can we all take a minute and thank Danny for not biting on the "2017 Nets Pick + 3 of Smart/Brown/Crowder/Bradley" proposal for Paul George.

I'd trade for him in a heartbeat but that is clearly an overpayment. Disgusting.
Preview of the kinds of defenses we will see every night in the playoffs
Washington have really came back to earth crashing. We don't want them to get too bad. A lost to ATL will slide them to 4th spot.
God, Smart's defense is just a thing of beauty.

Anyone else hate playing Indiana? One of the most boring teams in the league.

Tp from me too. To all 3 of you
Anyone else hate playing Indiana? One of the most boring teams in the league.
Boring? Really?
I view them as a legit threat if we meet them first round honestly. We've seen what PG13 can do in the playoffs.
I'd rather face Detroit, but not Indiana.
Not a terrible game so far. We need to cut down the turn overs.
Loved:
Jaylen Brown showing flashes.
Marcus Smart gaurding Paul George to great effect.
Disliked:
Tyler Zeller playing minutes
Turnovers.
George with 18 points but only 1 rebound? Wow.
Abby clearly heard me last game as she moved her outfit from a pattern to a solid color but the red is sorta killing my eyes. The chopped shoulder is a good look, but still.

Zeller ;D
Yeah, George is a goner this summer in a trade somewhere. There's no way he's staying there next summer, and Bird knows it at this point, which is why he was shopping him pretty hard at the deadline.
Would still love him if he'd be open to resigning here. It'd be sweet to land Griffin in free agency first then trade for George afterwards.

You can sign Griffin, trade for George, and keep Crowder. It's probably how Danny would prefer to do it
That's an absolute terrible call. That is perfect D by Smart.

I'd hope so. Bradley and Fultz/Jackson DEFINITELY gone then. Maybe even KO.

If we sign a max FA, Kelly is gone. If we trade for George, the pick is gone. Bradley makes the most monetary sense in a trade for George, too
PG13 with 28 points. Geez :o

Will something like Bradley plus Rozier and the Brooklyn pick enough, though? I guess it depends upon how much Bird likes one of the top-3 or 4 prospects and where we end up landing.

It's fair value. If Bird doesn't want to take it, that's on him. There's no guarantee that George would stay here, so a top pick and a good player like Bradley us the most we should give up

If he is serious about his LA love and going there after NEXT season, then I wouldn't even do that trade.
Unless he signs a long term commitment I'd walk away. Maybe see the price on Butler then.

I like George's fit enough to take the risk. He'd be beautiful as a #2 option and doing a lot of spot up shooting. Butler, not so much

Take all this LA talk with a grain of salt. Every potential free agent is ALWAYS a lock to go to LA and none of them ever do anymore, e.g. Derozan, Durant, Aldridge, etc.
Unless something dramatic happens between now and then and they actually look like a decent team, I don't see George going there. I think he'd stay in Boston if he was traded here and we played up to par with how we should be playing. And if he wouldn't stay here and wants to play in LA no matter what, then he's not a Celtics-type player anyways.
I swear people don't realize Al's impact on this team (FYI, it's AMAZING)
George has missed like his last 4-5 shots. As a result C's pulling away now.

I do. I love Al and the way he's impacted our offense especially. One of the most all-around solid big men in the league.
That happened because Brad switched Jae onto George. Smart was not having success.George has missed like his last 4-5 shots. As a result C's pulling away now.
He's beat
I don't blame him. He legit carried Indiana to this point.
Otherwise C's are up like 30 right now.
I'd say every Celtic who's logged a minute tonight has been pretty solid. That's awesome.I'd say this could be the nine man playoff rotation we will see. Smart, KO, Zeller, Brown off the bench.

Now let's hope Atlanta can beat Washington and Denver beats Cleveland!
Out of Miami, Milwaukee, and Indiana, Indiana's the one who I want to face the most out of those three. I dunno what it is about them, but i feel they'd be easier to handle than the Heat or the Bucks.Indy doesn't look good, hopefully the Bucks pass them and we get to play Indy in 1st round, but let's beat the Bucks first on Friday!
Missed it, TP for a solid game summary. ;D Thanks in advance!
Naw I disagree on several counts. The priority is getting ready for the playoffs not developing Terry Rozier. Zeller's future is also irrelevant. Lastly, Celts have frontcourt matchup problems EVERY night. Zeller will be important in the playoffs.Great win!
Now let's hope Atlanta can beat Washington and Denver beats Cleveland!
Denver just put up 73 to Cleveland's 59 in the first half...so I guess promising.
Washington down just 1 point to Atlanta.
Either way, great win for us tonight, but those who want to see more Zeller (over Rozier) will probably be disappointed. We used more of our bigs to match up with Indy tonight. Besides, Zeller is definitely not coming back next year and we need to continue to nurture Rozier and his development.

great to see that out of control Rozier did not play.lol
I don't care that we are winning. Brad should chew them out still for turning the ball over at this rate. We are fortunate to be playing a team that is turning it over just as much.
3 turnovers in the 2nd half...I don't care that we are winning. Brad should chew them out still for turning the ball over at this rate. We are fortunate to be playing a team that is turning it over just as much.
I was right

Brad Stevens is the best part of this team.
