Couldn't you have applied similar logic to IT in the summer of 2017 (sub out "one bad year" for "one late-season injury")? I'm not saying that the situations are identical, nor am I saying that the Celtics should get rid of Marcus (although I probably lean that direction). My point is that...

I think how good Jaylen subsequently became is making people forget how many issues he had as a rookie. He was used mostly in specific spots in the playoffs--"go shut down Bogdanovic" was the only big minutes he got. Nesmith right now is probably better than Jaylen was at the same point in his...

I get your point, and I think Gordon Hayward is a really good player and it sucked to lose him. But they played well without him last year, both in the regular season and the postseason. Not "championship contender" well (they were legit contenders with him healthy imo), but a lot better than...

And I'm old enough to remember Tyler Herro going at 13 and not 14.

We're all rooting for a huge crash and burn as deep into the lotto as possible now, right? It's pretty hilarious that the Celtics own pick might be better than the Mem or SAC ones.

Maybe I'm missing your point but are you referring to Hayward, who basically didn't play in the playoffs, when they won 2 rounds and played even with Miami in the ECF? Or Kemba, who was more limited offensively then than he has been this spring? This year's team would have had trouble beating...

It was an incentive in his contract.

Non sarcastic question: what do you see as the role of an NBA coach?

Yes, hence why I wrote "if only partially." It's English for "not all on CBS."

The Heat have had tons of health issues this year. It's insane how reluctant people are to criticise Stevens in any way, even if just partially.

Yes, and Marcus Smart has been a big part of that.

wow terrible and obvious foul by TT

Not like he could guess that Miami might trap him.
