Well... at least now the ice at the Garden won’t suffer from having the floor put down on it. So there’s that...

Such a strange league.
To be so close, yet still so far away.
So many teams are searching for that 3rd piece it seems, to put them over the top.
Celtics just feel like another one of those teams.
The NBA is just unwatchable.
Lopsided officiating, teams stuck in purgatory in perpetuity, and free agents unwilling to go anywhere other than a handful of cities (never Boston) are big reasons I can’t watch.
I just don’t have time for that.

I gave it an honest effort this season.
Probably the most I’ve watched since I was a kid. still not a lot, but a lot for me.
I’ve always kind of liked the Mavs for some reason, so I caught a handful of their games as well as handful of Celtics games.
But yeah, woof.
Basically the NBA is turning into premier league soccer where there’s are a handful of top destinations which are incredibly attractive and then everybody else is hoping to catch lightning in a bottle
I think people underestimate how hard it is to win a title in the nba without a top 3-5 player and multiple elite players. So when people talk about the disappointing Celtics of the last handful of years I’m like what on earth are you talking about? This year, sure- but the other seasons aside from the Kyrie one? Absolutely not. Because if you think they realistically had a shot at a championship you’re honestly delusional and don’t understand how the NBA works. Last team that will ever win like that is the Pistons and even then it was a different league and they had hall of famers
Celtics best bet is hoping Jaylen and Jayson develop into top 10 players in the league. Tatum might already be there

‘Sniveling’ is a very underused word for many reasons, in my opinion.
Yes they can be this but my question to Danny and ownership is did they speak to the team about their concerns prior to going to the media or did they go straight to the media.
If they spoke to the team then I agree but if they didn't, I think the players have a right to be pissed off.

The players run the NBA though, which is very different from the NHL
That's why I posted it. Woj knows.
I have nothing but respect for Danny Ainge.
Despite recent missteps, he's done a solid job since coming back to the organization.
It was time to move this franchise forward with fresh eyes and a new perspective.

Agree, I'm also just sure not how the Celtics can honestly send out Ainge to meet with FAs in a predominantly African American league in light of some of his comments he's made recently and over the last couple years.
Still with the team in a role I think he's actually better suited for.
