The Celitcs don't think in categories like SF's anymore. It's now bigs, wings and ball handlers - that's it. The roster is built just like Stevens and Ainge want it to be built. They have a lot of interchangeable guys around 6'7 to 6'9, who all can shoot 3's and defend almost every position...

I agree on the assumption, that Joerger knows what he is doing. I also think constructive debate is a lot better and a lot less frustrating than venting and calling for the head of the coach. But regarding the rest of your post, I have a question: Wouldn't it make more sense to start the...

Theis went undrafted in 2013. I love him, because he is one of those swiss army knife type of players and has a great motor. A bit undersized to play the 5 in the NBA, but Stevens values floor spacing and effort more than sheer size and power and for the big dudes the Celtics just go to Baynes...

I don't have a problem with watching a young team lose games. But I do have a problem watching a young team, that looks like it lacks intensity and fight. In the offseason we talked a lot about culture. A lot of Fans were frustrated with DMC, because he took plays off and favored a rebuild...

Actually it's pretty high praise for a rookie, when his coach thinks he has a higher basketball IQ than Garret Temple or any other vet. I mean those guys are seasoned players, who know exactly whats their role is and where they should be on the floor. I will never understand, how some Fans seem...

Joerger certainly needs to prove now, that he isn't a onedimensional coach. We have different opinions about his Memphis tenure. The thing, that really worries me the most, is that if you have a point and Joerger was lobbying for Zbo and Carter, because he just knows one way to play, it also...

While I truly understand the Joerger critics, I think we also have to talk about the effort level of the players and not only about the offensive system, but also the pace in which this system is executed. I agree, that the high post hand offs don't seem to be the best way to use the young...

That's true. Still they seem to handle things a bit smarter now.

To nobody in particular, but more to the abstract concept of top-down mismanagement. I worded that badly. Sorry. And we all know that the reasons, why this team is poorly managed have changed since Vivek took over and also since Vlades tenure. Sadly the results remain the same.

Completely disagree on Vlade. And basketball is still played on the floor not off the floor. There were more than enough FA capable to play the role model for our young guys, while still fitting with what we should do on the floor.

The main mistake is that we signed vets not able to play to our young players strengths, but instead altering the playstyle of the team and hampering the development of our young core. It's not suprising at all, that Temple is the guy, who looks best, when playing with the young guns. When we...

Papa G showed, how you make this offense work as a big. Set good screens and roll hard. I dont think the offense fits our players very well, but when you are at least decisive and eager to make things happen as a player, we should still be somewhat competitive. I hope at some point throughout...

The issue is, that our draft choices dont fit our free agent choices at all, which makes our roster a mess. It's the same problem every year. Kings never go all in on one particular playstyle. With Cousins still in SAC it was plain common sense to strengthen the wings and to aquire floor...

The Kings aren't better off, because while Cousins is gone, the main reason why the Kings are a bad team since the early 2000's is still in place. Once again the Kings managed to build a team with many ill fitting parts, no clear cut blueprint and no cohevisness. Once again the problem starts...

Well I think it would be too much to ask for a whole lot of guys, who have/had the opportunity to coach in the NBA. ;)

Except for reaching the playoffs in every season and coaching the Grizzlies through some hard fought series. From my point of view Joerger altered the Grizzlies playstyle quite a bit after Hollins. Where Hollins ran a pretty stagnant post offense with some high low plays, Joerger gradually...

We have no asset valuable enough to get Saric. When they want to continue to play Amir Johnson and Holmes as Backup bigs, they need Saric or another big wing, that can shoot. Literally all the 76ers have to do is trade Okafor for something of value and let their team grow together. Well and...

I have Seen him play quite a bit and still would say that Okafor is a decent scorer. He lost some weight during the offseason and looked a bit more dynamic. His footwork is top notch, got a nice hookshot game and good upfakes. Also not too shabby in faceup situations. Okafor is stuck on a...

Just tired of watching Skal and Willie play soft like tissue paper. When will those guys learning, that they need to play hard and use their quickness every damn game. We supposedly have great mentors and a tough grit-and-grind coach - guys should be playing hard every night.

Koufos still gets more boards than any other Kings big. Not his fault, that the other guys arent good enough to beat him for minutes.
