    The Porzingis deal is the one where they committed highway robbery imo. Smart’s defensive impact was offset by his offensive limitations and they somehow swapped Smart for Porzingis AND a first round pick somehow with Porzingis having a career resurgence last year and being a fantastic floor spacer on a team that’s never had an elite floor spacer

      I thought it was robbery at the time. People was stuck on porzingas injury history tho. Years ago i thought porzingas would be the perfect big to compliment the jays. His early knick days(i just never thought hed be available.) This was when he was getting propped up with Embid & AD, they need a big whose a scoring threat and shooting option. Porzingas effectively neutralizes most of the way teams have guarded the jays. Tatum and brown' biggest weakness to varying degrees(tatum is way ahead of JB here. But he has lapses still) is reading defensive coverages, when they are intiaiting plays. Porzingas simplifies everything for them. As an outlet, when theyre doubled. In the PNR Hes dangerous as a roller and popping out. I still cant believe there were celtics fans crying about losing Marcus "The thrower of bricks" Smart.

    This reminds me a lot of the 85-86 season. Coming off a shocking Finals loss to the Lakers, Boston knew they would still be major contenders in the 86 season, if they just stood pat. But, they went out and got Bill Walton, and made an already great team, into possibly the greatest single season team of all-time. I have been a Celtics fan my whole life, and the only other time I was as confident as I am right now, about winning the NBA Title, was that 86 season, going 50-1 at home, along the way. Even in 2008, with the arrival of Garnett, Allen, Posey, and House, and being far in front of everyone, all season, I wasn't nearly as confident because we had an unproven point-guard (Rajon Rondo), and an all-time oaf at center, Kendrick Perkins. (The Man With The Hands of Stone). Sorry Roberto Duran. This year, there are no such weaknesses. The bench was supposed to be our weakness, but before the deadline, Hauser, Pritchard, Horford and Kornet, were all playing their parts well. Now, with Xavier Tillman and Jaden Springer, the bench is even better.

After winning the 86 championship, the Celtics drafted number two overall and selected Len Bias, a player many projected to be better than Jordan. Len Bias died two days after being selected. In 87, Walton turned back into a pumpkin with glass ankles rather than glass slippers - then it was 22 years of decline and mediocracy. What a crazy turn of events.

      As far as Bill Walton, my opinion has always been, that he got his much wanted championship in his first season as a Celtic, then milked it, after that. I saw a video recently, where Larry Bird even said, "Bill was healthy when Bill wanted to be healthy". I'll tell you one thing, in the 86-87 season that hurt us just as much as Walton not playing, and maybe even more, that nobody EVER talks about. Scott Wedman went down for the season, just a few games into that season. He was an extremely valuable piece off the bench, being able to play either forward position, and even some 2 guard if necessary.
      So instead of Walton coming in for Parish, it was Greg Kite, who was pathetic, and when Bird or McHale came out, instead of Wedman coming in, in was the all-time dork, Fred Roberts. The only reliable sub that was still there from the unstoppable 86 squad, was Jerry Sichting. KC Jones should've played Darren Daye much more than Fred Roberts. Daye was actually pretty good, but rarely got the playing time.

But, they were 10-0 at home in the playoffs, so that's where the 50-1 comes from. If the Laker fans are going to count those titles won in Minneapolis, then I'm counting the 10 home playoff wins! As far as this season, they have been remarkable at home, something that has literally cost them the NBA Championship the last two seasons, because they struggled so mightily at home. It was something that ate my guts away. So this season, has been a dream at home. Two of the losses at home this year were absolutely unforgivable, though. I will tell you, that every single fan who attended the Clippers game in TD Garden, should have received a full refund for that game, with Boston being down by close to 50 at one point, and came in totally unprepared to play. Then losing to the Lakers, without LeRoid James, and Anthony Davis, is probably the most humiliating loss in franchise history. But, it looks as though they've rebounded rather nicely from those horrible losses. Yes, 38-3 would be nice, but they might let up off the gas, being so far ahead, for the best record.

Like yea, I know Smart drove us to extreme emotions of love and anger throughout his tenure, but b/c his value was high enough for us trade for KP (+ picks), it seems like the defensive intensity is always present at moments throughout the games, and throughout the season--like he never really left.

    As much as I love holiday I think KP is more important for us. He fills our biggest weakness which was a good defender against the elite big men (Giannis, embiid, jokic) and gives us the versatility on both sides of the ball to be a matchup nightmare and open up the paint if the defense chooses to put a big on him. If they have a smaller player switch on him he can basically have any three uncontested. White and holiday have been playing out of their fkn minds tho their offense is like poetry in motion

Jrue is shooting lights out from 3 in the corners and he can finish off the dribble drive.

    Health is the main thing as you said, although I’d probably limit that down to KPs health. As for 3’s? Sure, but keep in mind that even if one or two players are having an off night, then there’s still more than enough others that can keep firing. The entire starting 5 can drop 3’s on a whim, then you still have Hauser and Pritchard coming off the bench.
    In saying all of that, both Holiday, Horford, KP, and Brown all did a great job posting up vs the Knick’s yesterday.
    But the team is way, way more than just the two big trades. They’ve had a bunch of players who have really, really stepped up. First and foremost is obviously DWhite. The dude is playing out of his mind and I reckon has to be a contender for MIP (although he played pretty well last year, so the step up probably isn’t big enough for MIP). Hauser and Pritchard again are brilliant off the bench. Luke Kornet, although obviously not at the same level as KP has filled his role perfectly. And backing up all of that has been Al Horford who can do pretty much anything you ask of him, bring a beautiful, calm presence to the locker room, and is one of the true unsung heroes of this team.

    Celtics biggest issues last season was a log jam at guard and the Frontcourts ability to score. Horford is still excellent but was asked to do too much and play too many minutes for his age. Smart was still a really solid player but Dwhite was clearly out playing him but Smart made it impossible for Joe to go with the hot hand and Dwhite would end up on the bench a majority of the time in crunch time minutes which was absurd. Dwhite and Brodgon would have still been an excellent backcourt but when Jrue became available it was just a no brainer. Jrue knows what it takes to win it all and can accept his limited roles. Porzingis makes other teams pay for doubling Tatum and Brown and allows the Celtics to hunt mis matches because all 5 players on the floor can score from anywhere.

      Not true. I used to say this in real time. Smart is literally the reason the celtics lost to any high level basketball team. In the 4th quarter, leave smart wide open. Hes going to shoot it or drive and turn it over because hes going to be trying to prove something. But use his man to double team either tatum or brown. The heat and the warriors basically ran the same play book on defense. Play physical with the jays. Stay close to horford so hes not wide open. Doube off of smart. Watch him implode. Smart is a tough bastard. And i wont ever say he didnt play his heart out. But he was out of control way too often. I dont think its a surprise how much calmer the team plays. He was an extremely bipolar player and alot of antics got in the way of the team. His blood feud with the refs. All the flopping and falling amd rolling around. His endless three point barrage while also being the worst shooter on the team and one of the worst shooters of all time.

    Yup. Most teams seriously think about not adding players they're trading away to contenders in their own conference precisely for this reason. The idea is always to move their star they're trading away to the other conference. Only this time he accidentally boomeranged back around. Maybe they should have made sure he went to a contender in the West to reduce that likelihood. They knew Portland would turnaround and trade him, and the teams looking to get him would be contenders in the East. We can't second guess too much, though, because it seems like there really was nowhere to send him.

    First off , I thought the video was fair . As a Bucks fan of course it would have been best for him to go to a Western team playing for rings , That said Boston was always going to be the team to beat for The bucks to get out of the East so "big picture" it didn't really change anything. Then you have to factor in what was said at the end of the video , Let's say The Bucks don't make the move and Dame goes to The Heat , to me that would have been even worse for The Bucks.
    As is , again as a Bucks fan I really am still more worried about The Heat Shooting light out again with Jimmy Buckets stealing games Then Boston. My biggest question with Boston is how much does "big Al" still have left in him because he is been able to slow down Giannis better then most. Porzingis a bit a of wild card but I really see him not playing well vrs The Bucks or being a factor as much vrs other teams they play.
    This is why I still fear "Big AL" , they traded away all there other "Giannis stoppers" and Porzingis is not going to be able to guard Giannis . Giannis wants it bad this year and he is going to be going hard,

We loved the attention and stopped doing what made the team good which was depth and good development of players we drafted, us letting Dillion brooks go was to make the rest of the nba happy which was stupid as hell and I hated it from the start. Dillion brooks could guard 1-4 and was all defensive team at the hardest position in the league to guard and my grizzlies felt like we had to let him go because Lebron killed him in a series when we didn’t have the team two best rebounds Steven Adam and Brandon Clarke because of injury. The grizzlies let go of brooks because they wanted to keep sitting at the cool kids table for a change and though by doing what laker fans and warriors fans said it would be smart which it wasn’t at all. With Dillion we were a top 10-4 defense for two straight years with Dillion we didn’t send double teams because the team knew he could guard players one on one all game and let everyone else stay home on defense and let Jaren Jackson Rome the floor and be a great defensive help player which is how he won defensive player of the year last year. The grizzlies made a stupid move and I don’t like smart he is 6’3 short arms and can’t really stop any of the top guards in the league and you can’t put him on shooting guards that are to strong because they will shoot over the top of him because he’s short, I hate the trade and I hate my team for letting other fan bases tell them how to make roster moves and guess what every team in the nba laughed at us all summer and guess what they are still laughing at us and what did we get in return? A worse defensive player in smart and another guy he isn’t a real shooter also with a full healthy line up who in the hell would have smart,ja,bane as the point,shooting guard and small forward nobody would be over 6’4, the trade made no sense outside of making Dillion the scapegoat which it failed. But oh well maybe next time they’ll just believe in they’re own process instead of listening to fan bases that think everyone should be happy to be apart of they’re league

    People get traded to rivals of their original team. Roger Clemens left the Red Sox to go to Toronto, then got traded to the Yankees. I remember that one and I'm sure there were others. The Yankees also do what the Celtics used to do in the 50s, 60s, 70s and 80s, and that is getting a big star for nothing. The Celtics once traded rookie Darren Tillis to Cleveland for al.-star Scott Wedman and they traded Joe Barry Carroll for Robert Parrish and a first round pick (Kevin McHale) as well as traded Rick Robey to Phoenix for Dennis Johnson.
    It all came back to bite them. When Reggie Lewis passed away, they asked the league if they could give his widow the money remaining on his contract so they could free up cap space to get another player of some value. That request was denied.

    So many Celtics fans were crying when we traded smart, but I was actually extremely happy because yes I loved him, but he gave us all of his prime years so it was a smart, business choice. To bring in a motivated Porzingis, who still wants to prove to the league why he is the unicorn. Injuries were behind him and we are getting him at his absolute prime. Milwaukee made a stupid decision getting rid of holiday. I would rather have holiday than Damian Lillard. Yeah, Lillard might score 7 points more, but might get those certain steals during a game that you need and still put up 25 points.

    Nailed it. Jrue is the key to the championship. Everything else needs to be in place just to get there but having Jrue is the difference between getting there and winning it all. Again, take away anyone else and Celtics don't even get to the championship but Jrue gets them over the hump.
