where lol

I don't know if I would say I hate him, but you can certainly consider me one of his doubters. He has a lot to prove. It's still an open question whether or not the C's can win with him at the helm. We'll see.


His defensive schemes are excellent, offense needs work at times.
One day Marcus Smart will be defensive player of the year, mark my words.

This is like saying Hartenstein is only worthy of garbage time because he's white. Pritchard and Hauser were the 7th and 8th players all season in the rotation on a 64 win team. With KP and Horford missing every back to back, Kornet was the first big off of the bench when one of them was out which was often.

Pritchard played in literally every game this year.

4 of the Celtics' top 9 rotation guys are white, and some of the black ones are rather light-skinned. (Tatum keeps joking about that for some reason. But then, by far his more admirable parent is the white one.)

Heat need to make some massive changes. Mid team all season banking on hope after last season Cinderella run with all time great 3 point shooting.

Kornet is a free agent…shhhh.

...and Hauser was 2nd on the team in games played with 79. Important players on a championship level team. Outside fans sometimes not paying attention.

Thanks for hanging in. With all that happened with injuries and the way things went, some (especially notable posters) talking smack took off. You stood with your team

Always.

Gotta call a spade a spade you guys are the better team this year, we really sucked the second half of the season, Hopefully this forces us to make some significant changes. You can’t pray to catch lightning in a bottle two years in a row.

Yeah, I don't post much on Celtics board. I knew everyone would overreact to a bad heat team making franchise record 23 3s on 53% three pt shooting and worry it was going to be a series. That's the modern NBA. Always one outlier in 3 shooting and a 7 game series. Look what they shot the next three games

I was actually a little impressed with Boston this series although the series went the way it should have at least the celtics took care of business after game 2 and didn't play around.

Somehow people tried to credit Spo with that win when it was just a hot shooting night.
