who are the Celtics rebounders this year?

Baynes? Morris? Horford?

dude Love and TT will clown them on the boards

Baynes is a pretty good rebounder. Horford is solid enough. Love and TT have the upper hand but I'm not sure anyone is going to be clowning Baynes on the boards.

Nobody hates the Lakers and Heat more than me, but I don't get any shit. I'm a newbie though, so maybe it will come with time lol.

It's not even about that. It's blind homerism that follows it.

For me, I hate the Lakers and I hate Kobe, but you don't see Lakers fans following me around with a pitchfork.

Something's missing here, or Danny Ainge has gone completely delusional...


The only way this could make sense is if Danny Boy has started celebrating St. Patty's Day way too early. Wait a minute, you sure that statement wasn't taken from the onion.com?

I don't know. Lakers fans have brought the pitchforks out on me when I bash Kobe or the Lakers.

Not to sound biased or anything but that would a great trade (for the Celtics)!

If the Warriors turned down Paul George and Kyrie Irving for Klay, safe to say I don't think there would be a way for the Celtics to get Klay, considering they also traded their Brooklyn pick away.

Gave me an idea, Sushi.

Why would Golden State even want the Brooklyn pick? Let's decrease the chance of winning the next two titles for the rights to a top 5 pick who probably won't help us until Curry and Durant are well into their 30s.

You would think it would be common sense to figure this out....

Because it can be used in trade deals (exactly how they would've acquired it) which makes it an asset.

Sure -- but to acquire who?

Their roster is just so perfect right now. I'm not sure why they'd even entertain a trade for Thompson unless Thompson has made it known to them that he's unhappy and going to be a distraction. And I've heard nothing of the sort.

So then, what do you do with Kevin? Would you suggest they both be in the lineup at the same time?
You could play them at the same time, sure. Not sure what the plan is though, it's a good question.

Well I think the Warriors shouldn't be so damn greedy & help the Celtics out. I am very biased though.

CELTICS IN SEVEN!!! (where the hell is mick?)
