It's 2 am here, the sky has fallen upon us, yet I am gonna watch this to the END

Ok.......TP......that's the first time I've smiled all day.

It's 2 am here, the sky has fallen upon us, yet I am gonna watch this to the END

TP for the dedication.   I'll be here, too.  What I really want to see from tonight is not on the court, but in the stands.  I want the crowd to chant, "Danny sucks," for the entire night, with, "Beat LA," intensity (and no, I don't mean me, lol. ).  If Ainge is as bulletproof as all of you seem to think, and if he had any nuts at all, he should be there tonight, and not for a 5-10 interview with Mike and Tommy.  I want him there for the whole game, sitting right next to the season ticket holders who have been here for 30+ years.  Have fun explaining your motives, jackass.

Avery Bradley has the most tenure of the current C's.

that is crazy huh?  sigh...

[PickNRoll]

So let's say Danny doesn't find acceptable deals for Green, Bass, and Thornton for awhile, what if we go on a winning streak similar to when Rondo went out with the ACL injury? Let's say we get up to like the 7th seed in the East, which isn't unrealistic, what is the plan then? I don't think we're much worse now without Rondo, so if our vets aren't gone soon Danny will be in a really weird predicament.

I think this is a legit concern.  I think the tank rankings look like

Teams that are worse than the Celtics
6ers
Pistons
Knicks
Wolves
Lakers

Teams in the same ballpark
Utah
Orlando
Indiana
Charlotte

The ultimate outcome would be to out tank all the teams in the second tier and push the lakers to the 6th spot, costing them their draft pick!

For those interested Danny's comment was "we clearly gave up the best player in this trade which is not something we philosophically like to do."

I 'm not all sure that's info I needed

I'm not exactly  bristling over with confidence for this team right now

It's rock bottom for me

I could splane it to him with my fingers around his skinny throat

is Smart playing tonight? Young is still out right?

[Quetzalcoatl]

Thaddeus Young is somehow starting at both SF and PF according to ESPN.  The over/under is set at 212 so it should at least be an entertaining game.  KO is going to go for 20+ again

Young and Thorn will be out for weeks to come. They said last week they will give Young 3 weeks and see how it's going and whether he will need surgery or not (they don't think he will). Thorn has a small tear in his calf  (I think), last week they said 2 weeks... who knows when he will be back.
