Well not a bad 15 minutes for Jabari's first night back.

He can always put the ball in the basket.
 
I hate the Celtics. But I believe in the "Know thy Enemy" way of thinking. They're going to be a roadblock for us thru their methods soon enough, count on it. I hear they're looking to pick up Tyreke Evans and Lou Williams.
It'll be like a morque around if we don't wake up quickly. GS isn't the only problem we face, that'll become clear tonight facing Houston.
 
All this team does is hit big shots. Like every player on the damn team makes clutch buckets.

Hats off to these fucks.
 
I thought about Kyrie today and there's one thing I want to say:

FUCK YOU Kyrie! plain and simple...

I think we're all just Brad Stevens fans. Hell, I'd give the draft pick and LeBron to Boston just to get him over here. Almost every player that has left Boston has looked borderline pathetic without Brad coaching them.
 
New ESPN article by some of the resident stat-heads (Kevin Pelton, Nate Silver) on "Why Did We Get the Kyrie Irving Trade So Wrong?"

Thousands of words of statistical meandering, numbers, numbers, numbers. It's just incredible to me. I don't understand how anyone could watch the game of basketball and not understand that IT and Crowder were very limited players who needed exactly the right setup to be successful, while Kyrie was a true star who could thrive in any circumstances. Maybe these guys don't watch basketball, just crunch numbers.

(OK, I'll admit to being a little fooled on Crowder myself, at least to the extent of thinking he would be a valuable bench/role player, but I didn't think his ability to hit open 3s was going to totally vanish).

Still think Crowder would probably be a solid player if he played at the 3.

He’s just not a PF at all and playing him there was dumb.

But yeah I think ESPN rated him like the 37th best player in the league.

Lol
 
Kyrie got traded to the best possible team. That team also has the best chance at trading for Anthony Davis if he and NO decide to part ways early.

Milwaukee will be there, but Boston is going to run the East for years soon enough.
 
That's the other infuriating thing about the Kyrie trade -- that we traded him to our biggest East rival. That was the second worst team to give him to after the Warriors. If we were going to do a trade that was a flop, literally any other team would have been better.
