I hope we trade cp3 to a contender and build a new squad around Blake. This era is over. It was over when Houston snatched our souls out our body last year.
And I hope Ballmer fires Doc as a GM. Doc has made horrible decisions as a GM
I would normally agree with you but Blake is a shell of his former self. I now think its toxic to build the team around him. We're still chasing that high he gave us from his first two years in the league. He was such a force or nature and a grinder, I thought he was going to write his career however he saw fit back then. Nowadays he shrinks under the lights, plays hot potato late in big games, and has the deer in headlights gaze when sh*t gets real. Never retaliated against inferior players who fouled him but went apesh*t on the equipment manager and broke his hand in the process. This has been a season of hell for him. He turned soft when CP3 and Doc came aboard. Instead of going hard nosed like he did in his first few seasons he started crying and b*tching about everything and every missed call. He learned that from Doc. Became more about doing commercials than winning. Doc got him away from the basket to become a jump shooter. This was supposed to be the point of his career where he would put the team on his back and say, "give me the ball and I'll take us home".. but its the exact opposite.

Doc's gotta go. He'll use these injuries to justify that sh*t wasn't his fault yet again but his trades have been horrible, gave away 1st rounders like candy, didn't develop anyone outside of his son, too much of a players coach, acquires quality role players but plays them out of position causing them to fail and then trades them away- Hawes, Josh, and Lance, allows too many shenanigans(last player in the locker room after a game has to dance:stopitslime:) terrible rotatations, etc. :francis: Need a new modern coach and a real GM aboard. Restart/rebuild if we have to.. need some players with that fire.


-With that being said.. It ain't over til the fat lady sings. :mjcry:The real loss was CP3. Might even hit the game tomorrow:ehh:The bright lights are now on Portland who still has to beat us on our home floor. We just gonna go out guns a-blazin'. No more divas and commercials, just heart and hustle:blessed:#CelticsWest @The Taxman

I actually agree with pretty much everything you said. Blake does indeed shrink in late game situations and is scared of the spotlight. But I think since he is 27 and Chris is like 31 and aging, we should focus on Blake. We could get 3-4 good years out of Blake, while CP is going to be winding down pretty soon.

Doc definitely is our biggest issue though. God-awful GM and every move he's made has been garbage. Bringing his garbage son, the ghost of Pierce, the failed Smith, Lance and Hawes moves. Just bad bad bad. Fire doc as a GM (even a coach) and focus on moving forward.

I agree that you always should keep the younger player over the aging one but I think CP might want out and run with LeBron next year if that were possible. I feel you on keeping Blake but his head isn't there anymore and him punching dude and breaking his hand and now this.. I don't know how you come back from this truthfully:francis:

Deandre trying to play offense without blake and chris gonna be

shyt gonna be like watching a man with no arms and legs try to sumo wrestle:wow:

My nikka Deandre don't have one post move...he don't even have the beginnings of a post move...you know in video games where you can modify weapons and armor but you need to find some ingredients or parts to put it together before you can use it on your character...Deandre don't have one single ingredient :wow:...he needs to build a Gamma Gun but his science is not anywhere near 4...he don't have any adhesive and doesn't know how to farm it...he does not have one piece of fiber optics... he aint even been dungeon crawling enough to find it...

Dude is like the first character you make when you play an RPG game...you don't know what you doing so your pour all your stats into what sounds cool (in deandre case running and jumping) and then you get to a point in the game where the enemies can't be out ran and can't be out jumped and you just like "fukk i put 25 hours into this fukking game and now i got to start over cause i fukked my character build up":mjcry:

That is what Deandre is...a bad character build for an NBA RPG game...:mjcry:

I got a newb question brehs, wouldn't it be a good idea to cut the regular season down from it's rediculously long 82 games in order to preserve players health for the playoffs?

I want them both traded for the sake of their own careers. Neither deserves this curse on them. Just let them go and find happiness. It'll be fun to build thrubthe draft amd fight w/ Lakers fans over lotto positioning. :mjcry:

And please fire the entire training/medical staff.

Clippers should trade Blake. His body is clearly breaking down and his game is heavy on athleticism even though he is very skilled.


Id trade CP3 too, and a trade for Kyrie makes a lot of sense once the Cavs don't win the title again.


Does anyone think a Melo/KLove trade make sense?
If Rambis is still coach, no.
