Poll

Do you think Danny could blow this team up if they get swept like the 02-03 Cs?

No, this is the group to build upon just add a rim protector.
4 (18.2%)
No, they are one star away. C's will sign that star.
3 (13.6%)
Yes, they need to get worse just keep a few young guys and draft a star.
10 (45.5%)
Yes, too many flawed players dump everyone.
5 (22.7%)

A proper tank needs to be done. Danny should know better after this year.
Could you please explain the difference between a proper tank and in improper one?

Reminds me more of the 00-01 season. Post All Star break surge due to cutting edge coaching.

The original thesis of this thread is so flawed that I don't know where to start.
Coined the CelticsBlog term, "Euromistake."

Turner is nowhere close to Paul Pierce.

I tried giving you 2 TPs but it wouldn't let me.  ;D

Amen to that!!!  We'd be in great shape if we had a young Paul Pierce on the team.
It's not a literal statistical type comparison. It's roles and vibe. But I should have probably said 7 of all trades to Pierce's Jack.

I get the role and vibe thing, but it irks me when people compare where this team is to where it was back then, because I'd be thrilled if I thought the Celts had a young Paul Pierce anywhere on this roster.


Agreed, this is the problem. Then, we were a mediocre team with an All-NBA player who was conceivably the 1st option on a championship team.

Now, we have a mediocre team with some young talent but no budding stars.

I think a better analogy might be the 1997-1998 Celtics:

We still need our Pierce. We likely won't have a top 10 pick soon, but maybe we can trade for a star or strike gold with one of our lesser picks.

The good news: only ten years until ring #18!

Or the 1995 Celts, who got killed in the 1st round.

Although that team had 35 year old 'Nique.
