3. Stevens WILL NOT limit Rondo's minutes to 20-30mpg.Not if he values his job. Not if they're even considering flipping Rondo and want to net the biggest return possible for him. This is the year where Rondo HAS TO ball out. He's the clear-cut best player on the Celtics. Seriously, him not getting 35mpg is ridiculous.
He's sitting at 33 right now. he played under 30 MPG 2/5 games...real ridiculous huh
. smart's injury could boost his minutes but turner's good play and his fondness for pressey might negate that. Hes at 9/11/8/1.6. I predicted 10/10/3/1.5...undershot rebounds (i was going to say 6 but changed my mind)...but his boards are more likely to go down than up or stay as is.As a matter of fact..the 2 games we won with him in the lineup were the games he had under 30 mpg. then we won without him. stevens is a metrics guy..if this trend continues hes going to adjust the lineups accordingly
And if this team is halfway decent, which i think they are, they gotta win tonight.
Rondo can score.
His offensive game through the seasons.
RONDO IS BALLIN!
Triple double watch for Rondo. He's one assist away.
And I'm LOVING how competitive we've been against the better teams in the league. The Suns may be our next victim.

It was a sh*tty way for us to lose but we're not THAT far away from putting together a contending team.
Contending team? shyt we gotta get a playoff caliber team first.
Well, obviously. But if we added one or two great players, we could be instant contenders in the East, nevermind the playoffs.
You can say that about any team that isn't already a contender. At the end of the day it's a lot easier said than done. We'll be stuck in the same position we are now unless we luck up and draft a superstar or Danny pulls a trade off for a superstar out his ass. Cause no one's gonna sign here.
1. I was specifically saying that for the Celtics because we have the demonstrated habit of building up big leads until early/mid 4th quarter and then we squander it. If we had one or two great players, we would likely be able to keep the leads we habitually squander in the 4th quarter. I don't think my statement could be a considered a blanket statement for other teams that are struggling. Case in point, the 76ers. Even if you added another great player, I doubt they'd be anything more than a playoffs team (for a variety of reasons).Same for Minnesota. Same for Utah. Hence why I spcifically mentioned the Cs.
2. I think some players will sign here, especially if we keep Rondo. Despite the cold weather, the Celtics' championship history and its organization makes Boston an attractive destination for FAs. But I doubt it'll even get to that point because Ainge has too many expiring contracts and draft picks over the next couple of years to not be able to pull off a major trade, assuming we get an ideal offer.

Exactly. The really is not that bad team. Just need better defense and a go to guy. I thing FA will be very interesting for the Celtics.
