Celtics/NBA Celtics/NBA 2018-2019 Regular Season II

[bruins4thecup65]

it's very hard to virtually almost impossible to break European contracts once they are signed.... and that's even if the NBA has a relationship or an interest in those leagues, think Yao and the China connection with Shanghai when he came over from there to Houston

Thanks.

Danny Ainge is a magician so one never knows

 

[CHRDANHUTCH]

yeah, it could, but I'M THINKING FROM THE overall league implications, and that's hard to justify Danny going that way without getting advice to see if that is probable, and how Silver views those relationships globally as a league/brand.... you don't want to open that box, and have the NBA open an investigation that has merit and yes, the Celtics, as other teams have done, have played Panathikos or similar teams during the pre-season.

 

[CHRDANHUTCH]

Hayward now downgraded to OUT; RJ Hunter returns officially to C's main roster

 

[EverettMike]

apparently, that's the rumor floating, and Jackie Mac CONFIRMING reports back when Durant left OKC, he was seriously considering Boston, before landing in Oakland, and that was obviously before Kyrie bolted Cleveland

Gonna save this for when you get mad at someone for calling them the Florida Marlins instead of Miami.

 

[KesselBuiltMyHotrod]

Why the hell didn't they foul?

 

[KesselBuiltMyHotrod]

Kyrie comes up small.

 

[EverettMike]

Kyrie comes up small.

Horford all alone.

 

[CHRDANHUTCH]

98-97, ok not a bad loss coming off the break, still without Baynes and Hayward..... on to Chicago

 

[pgm16]

Getting to the line 6 times doesn't help either

 

[CHRDANHUTCH]

Aron Baynes likely will not be activated until the Houston game

 

[Troublesome 85]

Think Kyrie leaves

f*** em

 

[Alicat]

Think Kyrie leaves

**** em

You're full of hot takes lately

 

[JRull86]

Kyrie leaves and they have a massive hole with no real "draw" for upcoming FA's. You better hope he doesn't leave.

Brown, Tatum, Horford, Hayward, Rozier isn't winning anything

Eklund gives me all the 411

They got pretty far without Irving last year. Pretty sure hes f***ing the team chemistry up

 

[pgm16]

If Kyrie leaves, hope he doesn't, I like Kemba Walker in green

 

[CHRDANHUTCH]

Gordon Hayward is active @ CHI

 

[KesselBuiltMyHotrod]

I'm not sure anyone is active.

 

[N o o d l e s]

This team f***ing blows

 

[Johnnyduke]

This team ****ing blows

Colossal failure. Barring a miraculous run to the finals (not happening when you have to win 3 series without home court), Kyrie is out of here.

 

[CDJ]

They always play up and down to the level of completion so every game is tight. They have a pretty good record against the best teams in the east yet have nights like this

It is infuriating

Rozier has been awful. The weak link on the team imo. And I like him too. It’s like he carried game 7 into this year and he lets it impact him on both ends of the floor

 

[N o o d l e s]

Honestly this season the defense has been shocking. An absolute f***ing joke on that end of the floor, consistently. And I know it’s the NBA so I shouldn’t expect more, but it’s lazy and disorganized. How the f*** do you let up 80 points to Lavine and Markanen?

 

[Absurdity]

I had the time to sit down and watch a full game for once. If I only knew tonight wasn't going to be the best night to watch. I don't see any fight in this team. Defense is nonexistent, tempo is slow, and it feels like a bunch of guys playing for themselves and not as a team. It sucks because they were a fun team to watch last season. It looks like they are tuning Brad out too.

I don't know if Kyrie and Hayward changed the dynamic of this team or not since returning from their injuries last season, but something is up.

 

[pgm16]

This team may or may not put it together for the playoffs, however they are driving me crazy !!! I can't put a finger on what is wrong. Their defense is just plain awful most if the time when they lose.

I sure hope that changes cause I love the Celtics as much as the Bruins.
