    Celtics vs Heat ECF Redux Discussion Thread

    This is why it's so hard to win 4 straight in an NBA series, particularly for a team that relies heavily on 3-point shooting. There is going to be some night where those shots just aren't falling. So I don't have a problem with Game 7 so much because they just got unlucky in a lot of ways - the...

    Last Day of May -- Reds

    At least we’re getting some good starts - that alone is an improvement.

    Damn that seemed like a routine can of corn off the bat.

    May 30th -- Redlegs at Boston

    All those fans turning to the Sox to give them some summer entertainment after the Celtics bow out get…this? As Eck would say, yuck.

    The summer chopping block: who do you want gone and why?

    I don't think you can make this argument unless you can name someone specific they should be targeting. If it's one of the established names out there - guess what, none of those guys have an amazing playoffs record either recently, often with almost as good if not equally talented teams. And...

    Bob Myers stepping down as Warriors GM

    Yes, was intended to be humorous and wasn't intended to be a one-to-one comparison. Anyway, we can move on, sorry for the mini-derailing of the thread.

    Joe Mazzulla officially named head coach

    The more I think about it the more I don't think it makes sense to move on from Joe because there is no one available who is better. For example, it would make zero sense to fire Mazzula and then bring in, say, Budenholzer - Budenholzer checks the "experience" box but he just oversaw basically...

    Bob Myers stepping down as Warriors GM

    I'm not saying he didn't do a great job assembling that team, just as DD did a great job assembling the 2018 Red Sox. Obviously, flags fly forever and you do whatever it takes to win championships. But the Warriors are slated to be like $50m over the cap next year with a tax bill of over...

    Bob Myers stepping down as Warriors GM

    I believe this is called "pulling a Dombrowski" - acquiring players with little regard for future salary implications and then leaving it to someone else out to figure out the mess once the bill comes due.

    The Celtics Offseason

    I mostly agree with this, with the exception of "letting JB go." The question isn't whether to "let him go," it's whether to give him a huge raise on what he is currently making, to the tune of a ~$15m increase next year and then going up further after that, keeping in mind that they will also...

    The Celtics Offseason

    No, they're well over the cap even if those guys go (they'd have to cut Pritchard since he's under contract, and he only makes $4m anyway, so he's really only valuable as a piece of a larger trade). And if they extend Jaylen they won't even get their mid-level exception (I think - not 100% sure...

    Jaylen Brown, Year 7

    100% agree with all of this. The big question is, who is that other player that’s a better fit and is available in trade?

    The summer chopping block: who do you want gone and why?

    He had the same issues under Brad and he had the same issues under Udoka. I don’t think an assistant coach is going to magically change them although I’ll be thrilled to be proven wrong.

    The Celtics Offseason

    I don’t think they have to move on from Jaylen, but if a trade presents itself where Brad thinks they can stay roughly consistent in terms of talent level (or even take a minor step back on paper) I think he has to pull the trigger. I know he made all-NBA this year but he’s shown pretty...
