I wish we could shuffle in and out multiple all-stars from year to year, would a great problem to have.
Stotts had to retool in 2015. A team picked to finish (median) 25th in the league. So both Stotts and Stevens have had to retool. Stevens has also...
Exactly, so outside of Dame, CJ, Kanter, Melo, and Ant (5 rotation players), we've got good defenders! One of the good defenders also happen to be an...
Being a good defender doesn't exclude you from being one-dimensional. Boston and Stevens have had a bunch of talent at their disposal. To say coach...
How many bonafide all-stars and lottery picks has Stevens had at his disposal over the last 6 years and how does that compare to Portland? More...

I don't disagree with this, but I'm not sure that differs from how the average Celtics fan is either. People like to think their fan base is so...
If Portland fans are happy to just make the playoffs, how come so many people around here are complaining? Are the complainers not Blazer fans?
Umm, I think there a lot of people here who would gladly challenge this assessment.
12 bad wins, with 3 horrible losses. What a month.
I personally do not think that groups defensive rating will be that low. Will it be better than the team average throughout the season, which was the...
Dame and CJ need to stay in front of their defenders. Kanter needs to be able to show/switch PnR out on the perimeter, yet disrupt shots in the key....
