Marc Blount

He's certainly in the discussion too. 

[jpotter33]

Don't really dislike anyone wholly, but there are certainly parts of each one's games that I can't stand:

Rozier - His very, very low BBIQ

Smart - His "heat check mentality" given how bad of a shooter he is

Horford - Too passive at times

Brown - His lower BBIQ

Tatum/Kyrie - Their perimeter defense

Morris - His ballhog ways at times

Baynes - Given his offensive limitations, he shoots an awful lot (maybe think his next contract plays into this)

Really? Why Larkin? For as little as he plays, I think he's provided significant value and energy for us in otherwise unwinnable games.

Find his decision making to be questionable at times.  Has a little too much "gunner" in him to my fancy.  Also seems to be "heat check" prone which I think does the team more harm than good.

I admit I was hoping for a little more out of Morris. Maybe a good handful more

I don't really dislike any of our current crop of players.

I am starting to dislike Brad Stevens, though.

[Emmette Bryant]

I'm hardwired to love all Celtics players.

Historically, there have been a few transgressive individuals that I didn't like. Curtis Rowe and Mark Blount come to mind immediately.

I don't really dislike anyone, but I'd certainly be ok with upgrading 11-15 on the depth chart

This is where I’m at. It’s not personal dislike, it’s wanting the talent to be better.

Me too. I have been saying since last summer that this bench was too inexperienced and lacking talent. Then game 1...boom...Hayward goes down for the year. Then Morris misses like 20 games. Suddenly players 11 and 12 are 9 and 10 and in the rotation. Then on multiple games we have a laundry list of rotational players out and our 11-14 guys are all in the rotation. Its killing us, especially offensively.

Wish Jaylen could hit his free throws

Boston sports fans have largely embraced the blue collar athlete over the years.  The Celtics overachieved the past few years due to guys in hard hats that played with a chip on their shoulders.  Unfortunately, we made a sharp transition to the very opposite last summer.

I don't find this team --incl. their slow pace and individual players -- very enjoyable to watch on most nights.  Brown brings a level of toughness and excitement that's otherwise lacking, unless you enjoy Rozier's irrational confidence.  Until last night, I hadn't watched a game in 2-3 weeks.  Oladipo happened to go ham and reminded me of exactly what I've missed from last year.

You're delusional if you think last year's team is better than this year's. Once Hayward comes back, a lot of offensive issues like taking too many 3s, forcing jumpers, or lazy passing will eventually be negated by Hayward.

First, knock it off with the insult.

Second, tars never said last year's team was better than this year's team.

I've been pretty pleased with everyone this season, but I'm a total C's fan.  All our players have some flaws but generally everyone seems to put in the effort and have the right attitude, and THAT is what I ask out of a player.  There's hero ball here and there, or an overabundance of looking for calls from the refs sometimes, but I'm happy cheering for this collection of players.

Looking back, there are only a handful of C's players I didn't like, and it's for the reason that I think they short-changed the team.   Blount is one, was never sure about Ricky Davis either, he didn't seem like a team guy.  Olowakandi didn't seem to give much if any effort.  I really liked poor Vin Baker.  He tried but his demons got the better of him.  Guys like Mikki Moore, Greg Kite and the like made me cringe when we needed them on the court but I still appreciate that they tried.
