I have high hopes for him because I love his defense and athleticism but Langford is allergic to offense right now

which is wild to me because he actually has decent penetration and finishing skills at the rim
He's just not good. There are a lot of guys that are athletic and have length, just by necessity, nearly every NBA players has some degree of those assests. He is not unique in that asepct. He was a bad pick, classic guy that could play well at the college level because of his athleticism, but when he got to the NBA struggled because everyone is athletic

WOW, again. RW III seems to have problems with injuries and his length of recovery. The Celtics need him playing every game, and that goes for Kemba as well.
Kemba's role is determined by health.... that's why the medical team has advised Danny and Brad as to the back to backs, unlike the minutes restriction when Walker first returned

I knew that and thanks but how long does this last. It is time for Kemba to start trying to play every games. If he can't then revert back to the old plan of no back-to-back games for a while and then try him again at every game.

it might be the balance of his career, whether it's here or elsewhere, but until then, it's probably unlikely to change this season.

Celtics are a team with ECF talent but play like one who will get knocked out in the play in round while the Knicks and Hawks make the playoffs. No other team has dealt with injuries and covid as much as the Celtics but it's no excuse. Your two stars haven't shown any leadership qualities, the most emotion they show is when they complain to refs after any missed layup. It doesn't seem like the coach is able to get them to do anything different either. The Celtics had the brightest future in the league after the young core and Horford came minutes from making the nba finals, everything since then has been underachievement or just doing what they should.

where are they anywhere NEAR the play in round... Bernie.....

did we drop to 11th, 12th, 13th, 14th, or 15th, in the last two weeks, instead of jumping to the 4 or 5 seed and challenging Atlanta for a 4 seed who doesn't have a healthy Trey Young at last check

Play in games are for the 7-10 seeds this year. Celtics have the same record as the heat who are the 7th seed. If you find yourself in the play in tournament you lose 2 games you're out of the playoffs.

we're a 5 seed and were battling for the 4 seed depending on Atlanta..... nowhere was your statement indicating a 7 or lower seed.

We beat the Knicks 3 weeks ago, to break a tie for 7th, ran off 6 straight wins and jumped briefly to the 4 seed...

The Celtics are currently the 6 seed. 2 games back of Atlanta and the Knicks. Also great they won 6 straight games, it's their only great run this season and followed it up by dropping 3 of their next 4 right after. My statement was more of a basic comment how this team is far more talented than they are playing and they will find themselves in the play in game if they keep playing like they have most of the season

Thank CHRDANHUTCH, for defending the team. Regardless of the fan frustration and bitching, like me, it is still our team. As, sports broadcaster Dan Cook, said in 1978, "it's not over until the fat lady sings" so the Celtics will prevail and will not be in the "play in rounds."

You heard it here, Celtics will not be in the "play in rounds."
