Not sure I have ever seen a boxscore where a 7' center is 0-7, with 7 missed 3pt shots.

That was awkward. The fan looked like the nerdy douche fans that would annoy the fuck out of you if you were famous.

Lol

So I see that Kyrie's self-proclaimed basketball genius is on par with his self-proclaimed leadership qualities.

Kyrie 6 for 21 tonight.  LOL.

Maybe the Cavs did win that trade...

The Bucks are the 2014-15 Hawks.

Perhaps a tad premature. The Hawks best player was Al Horford. Giannis is slightly better.

It's been said many times but bears repeating - if he's not scoring efficiently at a crazy high clip, he's a net negative on the floor because he doesn't do enough other things well.

Hopefully it's the Lakers.

This is on Stevens and Ainge.  Kyrie is what we all knew he was.   Ainge/Stevens knew too.

We all knew that he was a head case, a poor leader, and lived in his own world...but shows up in the playoffs and hits big shots.

When the last thing is no longer true, it is very much his fault.

If he was the only reason they lost, I would agree.    Stevens lost the room.   None of the young guys played the way they did previously.    Horford, Morris and Smart were the only ones not playing for themselves by the end.

Ainge chose to keep Kyrie when there were already rumors of him leaving.    He let keeping Kyrie keep him from going after AD this yr.

the actual play on then court - how does that condemn KI? Is  his fg% terrible? lack of assists? 

[d2o 1,602]

Stevens messed up the season from the start forcing Heyward back into the starting lineup when he wasn't ready.     The young guys were never the same.    Even after he adjusted Heyward's minutes/role.    That makes me think he never went to those guys and admitting that he messed up and tried to reset with them.   You would think they would  basically get over it but it they are young and trying to make their name and in Rozier's case playing for a big contract.

Brad owned it in press conference last night.  Kyrie probably moves on to Nets or Knicks and then helps sell a ton of NY newspapers next year with all of his drama.

Not sure how much longer Celtics can depend on Horford.  M.Morris is also slowing down too.  Hayward is a liability right now...... 

Ainge's health problems were probably exacerbated by this disappointing season.  Huge Celtics off season for changing the roster thru the Draft and trades.

Boston Celtics 2019 NBA Draft pick update: Which picks can they expect?

 

by Michael James.     1 month ago

 

The 2018-19 regular season ends in less than a week, so let’s take stock of where the Boston Celtics’ draft picks currently stand.

Typically waiting to see where your team’s draft pick lands has almost everything to do with hoping for as talented a player as possible to add to the squad’s core. Over the past five seasons, that’s how Celtics fans have operated, but this year is different. The Celtics could have as many as four first round picks, making it nearly impossible to keep all of the selections on the roster.

There’s the added caveat of hoping to trade those picks for a big name, say Anthony Davis, but given the Celtics’ inability to finalize a trade for him before this year’s draft, having as many future firsts as possible is ideal. Sure, if the Celtics and Pelicans can agree in principle to a deal before the draft and select the players New Orleans would want, having two lottery picks would help with salary matching. It just makes things more complicated, and superstar trades are already incredibly complicated.

With three-ish games left for every team in the league, here’s where the Celtics’ draft stash stands.

Round 1, No. 9 (From Memphis): Pick will convey if outside top-8

The Grizzlies want to give the Celtics their pick this year so they don’t have to worry about giving it up next year or the year after. Memphis is a half a game ahead of the Wizards and Pelicans in the standings with games against Dallas, Detroit and Golden State to end the season. If they lose two out of the three the Celtics should be in good shape to have that pick in their pocket for next year.

Round 1, No.14 (From Sacramento): Pick will convey if it is not No.1 overall

This one is basically a lock to convey to Boston, and a late lottery pick isn’t the worst thing to have if the Memphis pick carries over to next season. The Kings are a half a game ahead of the Heat in the standings who are still fighting for a playoff spot. Sacramento has two games left (vs NO, @POR), so C’s fans should hope for two losses to improve the pick just a smidge.

Round 1, No. 20 (From LA Clippers): Pick will convey if outside top-14

This is locked in to convey and should be in the 18-22 range. There was hope the Clippers would miss the playoffs and this pick would carry over after the Tobias Harris trade, but the Clippers have played exceptional basketball since the trade deadline (17-8 with ninth best net rating). All the Celtics can hope for are losses to the Jazz and Warriors to make the selection better.

 

Round 1, No. 22 (Celtics own pick)

After taking care of the Pacers last night, the Celtics are most likely locked in at 22. They’ll have the Magic and Wizards to close the season, where one win will secure home court in the first round of the playoffs.

Pau Gasol is out now which probably should put an end to his career.
