Does Brad really think the fans bought his BS today?

The follow up I wish the media would ask when they say “we love our core” is who do you consider the core?

Not true. We will have Joe with no assistants on the bench and Gallo will be our only addition.


What do you expect him to say at the press conference?

“Yeah we are going to trade players… oh that bum Jaylen? As if we are going to Supermax him.

Please some team, can we trade him to you?

We think we need to get Mazz chewing the gum again for sure.”

The real work is done behind the scenes, the press conference is just a standard thing.

Don’t read into it.

Exactly. The announcement that Joe is staying is concrete. That's the one thing from the press conference of substance that I think is fair to disagree with. If you want him gone, that's a fair argument to have.

But all the roster stuff? What the heck did anyone expect him to say? lmao

Wrong. Joe will be alone on the bench because everyone knows he’s a doofus. No accountability from top to bottom, goes all the way from the owners to the stadium workers. I ordered a coke at TD Garden and they gave me a Sprite. No **** accountability

You can blame that on the Bruins. They own the Garden and run the concessions. The Celtics are just renters.

Yeah. That’s not going to happen.

And just FYI, the staff did the right thing.

Everyone knows you call your guy if you want coke.

Hope you are correct, mate.

Doubt it though.

The assistants walked away. That to me is a big problem. Not only did the leave but they left to be with Ime. This might be the beginning of the end my friends.

Not sure what’s surprising or concerning about that? They were Ike’s guys? They all had connections to him in the G league/Spurs. It makes total sense that they’re leaving to follow him.

Yeah sure. Every coach has connections but leaving for a guy who was dismissed after his BS even after the Celtics made the ECF is a bit concerning to me.

Yes, let's fire Joe because the dude at the concession stand making minimum wage got your drink order wrong :lol:

They probably figure they'd get fired if they stuck around and either Joe wants his own staff or a new coach does.
