Williams seemed to get pushed around pretty easily on the defensive end. If we really want him to bang with someone like Embiid, he's going to have to beef himself up a bit. He's giving up 30 pounds to Embiid right now and that's if you believe Embiid is only 280 and that Williams is actually 250.

Newsbreak is not really a "news source". They are a rumor mill collector site. :)

A bad ownership team watches the bottom line and could care less about anything other than the bottom line. If they make the playoffs or even win a championship, that's gravy. A good ownership team watches the bottom line but pays the extra money to field a good team. If a championship falls out...

Is it April 1st?? :)

Vooch is technically "gone" already. He's a free agent, so the only way they could keep him is sign him to a new contract. I don't see that happening after how this played out. I could see White being dealt. He has excellent trade value. That said, he is due $30 million next year, $32 million...

I have to be honest... I almost posted at the beginning of the playoffs, "I don't see the Celtics getting out of the first round. Their record against winning teams combined with the way the refs have been calling their games will be too much to overcome", but I backed off because I didn't want...

You must be fun at parties.

Did you watch the games? If you did, how could you say these things? Jaylen Brown had every reason to complain about the refs. They simply refused to give him the calls that they gave other players. Brown is treated like a rookie when he drives to the hoop. Hell, the whole Celtics team gets...

They can get Sabonis if they either 1) dump more salary (White? Hauser? both?) or 2) screw the luxury tax - get him anyway. :)

Here's the thing - why is the luxury tax such a big part of any move to make the team better? It wasn't a problem before the ownership change. Is this what Celtics fans have to look forward to from here on out? You want who? Too expensive! You want him? That'll put us onto the 1st apron! I'd...

Good to see that Jaylen Brown called out Embiid's flopping. I do wish that the NBA could do something about that stuff.

In my mind, this season was lost when they traded Simons, a pure shooter, for Vooch, who is not. When the others were missing their shots in several games this year, Simons saved their asses. And btw - the flu sucks. I've never been this sick, even when I had Covid.

Hugo hit the freshman wall about a third of the way through the season. His D fell off and he had quite a few dumb fouls. Jordan Walsh is an excellent defender, but as I said before this series - with the refs swallowing their whistles (seemingly only when the Celtics drive to the hoop), he's...

The year after next, Brown will be 31 and Tatum will be 30. I would hardly call that their prime. Derek White will be 33 and if things continue the way this year went, will likely be gone like they did with Marcus Smart. Payton Pritchard will be at the end of his contract (if the C's don't...

I hate that the stuff I said back when i started this topic back in July are coming back to hurt them. They needed another big to stop guys like Joel Embiid. He can beat this team almost by himself, especially if the 3's don't drop for the Celtics & Queta keeps fouling him every other trip down...
