I hate Felger and Mazz

Sometimes I'm not even sure how they have jobs as local hosts

they seem to be against/doubt every Boston teams. Except maybe for the Patriots

It's funny because you hear from people who meet them (Felger, Mazz and Murray) in charities or around the area that they are actually nice people and really kind/helpful.

But when it comes to talking sports and media appearances... they are always negative and really harsh on the sports teams lol.

Hearing the radio show last week, some caller tried to put them down that this is not true. And to look at CBS as a prime example

Then Felger asked the caller, at this second...would you rather have CBS or a healthy Kyrie for the playoffs?  The caller kind of stumbled to pick, and they basically stated along the lines "Thats what I thought"

Do you agree or disagree?

That was your first mistake, lol ;D.

Felger is very good at his job. He stokes the flames.

If the question was this post season, I go stars. I would lean stars for long term as well. There are a lot of examples of stars carrying teams with bad coaches. Or you could be like GS and have 4 stars and not even need a coach to coach during games.

I do think having a good coach who can feel the pulse of his team is important though,

Thankfully we already have Brad Stevens and Kyrie....   

But Terry Scary has sure tempted alot of people to explore a Kyrie trade...

Question.   Kyrie can get a max of what?   Terrys max is less, but still alot.  What would that look like?

Honestly, I'd rather have Brad coaching the team than a healthy Kyrie.

I don't think a coach, generally, is going to outweigh having a superstar available.  But in this case, I think Brad has made a difference in the team getting to where they are now that I'm not sure Kyrie would have made. 

Part of that is how well Terry has played in Kyrie's absence.  But Brad's excellent gameplanning, in-game adjustments, out of timeout plays etc are part of the reason that so many players have been able to step up in the absence of Kyrie and Hayward.
You’ll have to excuse my lengthiness—the reason I dread writing letters is because I am so apt to get to slinging wisdom & forget to let up. Thus much precious time is lost.

I don't mind that. Its important to have different perspectives, Celtics fans in general are pretty big homers so having a moderating influence isn't bad.

1.Superstar come and go, Coach can for 20+ years
2.Without Brad we don't even make the playoffs

So right now if you could choose 1

would you rather have CBS or Kyrie?
Right now? CBS.

Today CBS definitely has the wins over replacement edge over Kyrie.

Kyrie is far more replaceable than CBS.

I simply do not see them as basketball experts and they seem to hate on the Celtics more than root for them.
