Would really love to see the Celts draft this kid and pair him with Jaylen --full time, starter minutes.
Yes, I'm advocating rebuild mode. Yes, I'm saying ship IT and his phoney-baloney numbers outta town asap
The current Celts are deeply flawed and cannot beat the good teams of the East when those teams are healthy. It's been proven over and over again. It's like Groundhog day.
I wanna get off this carousel of mediocrity and go with a legit youth movement.
Really?
What Boston Celtics have achieved in the last year:
- Came within one game (GSW beating Cavs) of signing Kevin Durant
- Beat Cavs, Warriors
- Thomas having one of the greatest seasons in Celtics history
- Brad Stevens picked as All-Star coach
- Avery Bradley having All-Defence season
- Second in the East within two games of first
I've quite enjoyed our 'carousel of mediocrity'.
I completely disagree with the idea that we are on a carousel of mediocrity, but some of your points are shaky.
Weve beaten the Cavs and Warriors 2x each which is nice, but despite their dominance, those franchises have combined to lose 70 games in the last 2 seasons.
Its possible KD signs here if GSW win, but its not a fact.
Thomas has been good, but great seasons and mediocrity are far from mutually exclusive. Pierces '06 season was brilliant. We werent very good.
Brad wasnt picked. 2nd place coaching staff goes by default.
All-defense is whatever.
This one is very good point.
You cant be on a carousel of mediocrity when you are about to cash in on your second consecutive top 4 pick. Even if we were a 30 win team, we wouldnt be on the carousel of mediocrity. We are in danger of being on the carousel of really really good and with some luck we could find ourselves on the carousel of championship contention.
