Plus he had a huge ego that wouldn't allow him to adapt to the system.

That hip injury was pretty bad which was one of the main reasons why I was over the moon Danny managed to turn him into Kyrie. He was beating the odds for a long time and the odds are getting worse. This was bound to happen one way or another.

Imagine missing 3 starters and still going through the opponent like a buzzsaw. Brad Stevens is on a trajectory that goes towards the NBA title and eventually US presidency.

He is a genius indeed. The best move of 'Danny win every trade Ainge' by far is finding Brad, and thx to him, Danny had great many moves. Recently Stevens dusted off Greg Monroe and then Monroe had a frikin triple-double. Lol. Danny could trade Irving for Thomas all over again and in 6 months everyone would be like yeah, Celtics won that trade.

I agree with the sentiment, but Danny got a lot of shit for trades in the past both now when he was stockpiling with no immediate payoff in sight and before he assembled the big 3. Glad the ownership had the patience for Danny's long term thinking because it's looking pretty good right now.

But yeah, Stevens is an amazing coach, definitely up there as one of the best coaching hires in the history of the NBA.

Aw man, that was a close one. Despite the loss, crazy how good Brown was again.

Wow these refs are dogshit. Maker and Bledsoe need a good beating, pieces of shit. Celtics better pull through despite that fuckery.

This wouldn't be as close if the refs did their jobs. I expected the Milwakee Thugs to have an advantage at home ref wise but not away, not sure what the NBA gains by trying to make them win.

Thon Maker hits Rozier twice in the face during the game and somehow finishes out the game. Ridiculous, should face a suspension imo. Also, anyone know why Middleton is gluing pubic hair to his face?

So great to see Smart back btw, the guy is pure alpha. Wouldn't be surprised if he cucks the entire Milwakee team after the game.

Quite the slaughter, happy to see the team advance but I don't think we have much chance to progress really far. I think we're the underdog vs the Sixers but we can definitely still win but it's going to be much harder than this series. Shame really because with our full squad I wouldn't even think twice about it because we'd obviously stomp them.

Celtics playing way above my expectations, god damn. I guess as long as they have 5 uninjured players, regardless of who they are, Brad is going to get them to play.

It's great, from start to finish. That freethrow :lol: then the pass interception and no nonsense way of dealing with it.

He is certainly worth more than what the numbers say.
