Just thinking... This is likely the first number retirement in Celtics history without Tommy Heinsohn in attendance.

Belichick is the greatest football coach ever. His record cannot be challenged or questioned.
The manner in which so many in the media have taken this as a chance to run it up on him shows them to be exactly as I thought they were.

My hopes for the rest of the regular season:
1. Less Mook, more Semi
2. Rest for Horford and Kyrie
3. Get Tatum going
4. Give Timelord minutes
5. Embolden Hayward consistently

The number of coaching related tweets vs. Jaylen tweets is insane.
Jaylen was bad all over the court. It’s not just he couldn’t get shots to go down, he wasn’t rebounding, defending, and turned it over often.
at some point the players need to be responsible.

90 percent of Celtics fan wanted to keep Al Jefferson rather than trading for KG at this time in 2007.
This feels like it would be the preference of plenty of Cs fans
1) Let Kyrie walk
2) Pass on AD
3) Package some of these picks and grab a top-10 player to add to young Tatum/Jaylen/Smart core
4) Re-sign Horford long-term
5) Bring back Isaiah on a vet min and hope for the best

Celtics basketball is the lifeblood of that station. Abby Chin is a key piece of that and easily the most liked employee on that station.
Meanwhile they're keeping on a guy in Tomase who reported the biggest lie in Boston sports in my lifetime.
Hell of a job
@NBCSBoston
Among those let go are Abby Chin and Gary Tanguay. Those staying on include Trenni Kusnierek, John Tomase, Tom Curran and Phil Perry. Trying to confirm everyone individually, but make no mistake, its a bloodletting. (The company may keep on some they are laying off for 60 days.)

Folks wonder why Mazzulla acts the way he does…
The Celtics win 60+ games, sit at 3-1 in the 2nd round, and it’s a constant string of second guessing and wondering why it isn’t even better.
What a miserable way to live. Enjoy the wins folks.

The headline is "Ask me July 1," the video shows a guy who is frustrated by the situation and the bullshit storm surrounding it.

Folks are out here criticizing the Celtics loss for Jaylen taking a bad shot when he was clearly fouled on that shot and should have had 2FTs to pull ahead?

Not mad at all at Rondo.
More pissed off at the Celtics inability to start the 2nd half with anything resembling offense. Which led to Lakers transition dunks. Which led to Lakers transition 3. Which led to the shitty Laker kids hitting crazy 3's. Which led to a loss.

Tatum is far and away the best Celtic, and Marcus Smart's ability to come up with winning plays is absolutely tremendous.
But I think Jaylen gets lost in that mix. Like no other Celtic, Jaylen turns the tables of the game and helps the team find its focus.

Maybe I'm just high on 135 points against the

The only way you trade Smart is if you think this version of him is not replicable over the long haul.
I think he is becoming the fully realized version of who he should've been years ago.
Beasley and McDaniels are not going to positively impact style of play like Smart.

In case you're curious, Jayson Tatum is due to go off over the next few months now that Simmons has gone in on how much Tatum has regressed as a player.

I've always been a Tatum guy, but perhaps it is most appropriate that it was the growth and dominance of Jaylen Brown that is pushing this Celtics team over the top.
Jaylen got the blame so many times over the years, his improvement is evidence of this team's success.

It's great for clicks, but folks spending their time worried about Steph Curry are wasting their time.

Go back and look at stat lines of Bird and Magic from those 80’s Finals runs. Those guys were celebrated for doing everything in service to winning games and now his value is point based? Cmon.
Jayson Tatum asked about not having to be the guy, and gave a very reflective answer:
“I can be ‘the guy’ by rebounding and getting assists and drawing attention.”
