    A Time to Worry: Celtics Postseason Concerns

    Because the Celtics' standard this year is championship or bust, and because there are legitimate concerns that can get mixed in with day-to-day regular season worries, I thought I'd start a thread in which people can voice concerns specific to the upcoming postseason run. It's only 21 games...

    Big & Tall Shopping for a New Center

    We've been discussing a possible upgrade at backup C in a lot of other threads, so figured I'd pull it together here. I wouldn't, and it's because having Al's $26.5M coming off next year creates some "tax space" for the Celtics to use. I don't think that filling that space with Collins given...

    Celtics Plan, Summer 2021

    The season isn't over yet, but a lot of discussion has been centered around what the Celtics can, cannot, and should do in the upcoming summer. It's an important one, since they need to get the team right around the Jays and finalize that transition. It would be good if people can give their...

    The Giannis Sweepstakes

    Note: If you are someone who dislikes speculation, and doesn't want to discuss players being possibly traded before it happens, this is not the thread for you. This is Speculation City. With the Bucks down 3-0 and on the brink of a flameout even worse than that of the Kyrie Celtics, and...

    Thoughtful Celtics Playoff Opponents/Matchups Thread

    As the season moves into the home stretch, I find myself mostly thinking about the Celtics possible playoff matchups, particularly in the East. We now have a lot of film on all of the potential matchups except Indiana. While I think it's a mistake to get too into the W/Ls for regular season...

    Positions (or lack thereof) in today’s NBA

    This is getting close to being its own discussion about NBA positions. I think that would be a good thing, because I think too often here these discussions are coming down to the semantics of what you call a position, rather than the best ways to arrange players on the floor. I've personally...

    Mechanics of Paying the Luxury Tax Thread

    (as always, open to a title change) With Yabu's option picked up, and Mook looking like a 6th man candidate, there's a good chance the Celtics will be paying the tax for a long time, and likely the repeater tax. If the AD dream ever happens, that will be a huge bump as well, since you'd likely...

    2018 Vegas Summer League

    Figured I'd make a catch-all for this, since it looks to be a fun summer with this rookie class. Bummed that Doncic is out, even though that makes sense. There's less to watch on the Celtics side this year, but I'm very curious to see how Williams looks in terms of motor and playing under NBA...

    Terry Coming Up Rozes

    Couldn't find one discussing him, and as he's been improving his game a lot this season, there are a lot of questions that are going to come up. The main one for me is: if Terry keeps this up, he is going to get paid in 2019, and I don't really see how the Celtics do that without going heavily...
