and quit settling for just launching 3's
Celtics would be up by double digits if players would work harder for shots.

Every missed shot is a bad one, I guess. I didn't think he forced any shots. He wasn't settling. As pointed out by others he's a very good three point shooter.cubzwin said:

I don't think it was lack of effort; it was more a case of a very young team tightening up in a game 7. The shooting was awful, even though the looks were generally pretty good. Look out next year when they get Irving and Hayward back and have 2 first rounders.cubzwin said:
Some days everything you throw up goes in and some days the rim gets smaller. Some guards, like former Bulls great John Paxson, really had no way to score other than the outside shot. JB has developed a good 3 pt shot but on days it isn't falling but he has the ability to drive and then kick out or go to the hoop and score or at least draw a foul. I'm not saying Brown's play is why the Celtics lost, Overall a pretty pathetic performance for the whole Celtic team in a game 7 at home. General lack of effort. Pathetic really.
Next year Boston has only the one #27 draft pick.UrsaMajor said:cubzwin said:

I think Tatum is better than Hayward already. At the very least, it's close and because they play similar roles Hayward will stunt Tatum's growth. If I was Boston, I'd trade Hayward this summer if I could get fair value (but I don't know what that is). They could use another big man, though.Big C said:
Something tells me that adding Irving and Hayward is going to be, well, maybe not "subtraction by addition", but at least not the addition that some might think.
I have seen Kyrie Irving do great things on multiple occasions, but there is something about him that rubs me the wrong way, Maybe it's the not-sure-the-earth-is-round deal. Call me crazy, but I'd want everybody on my roster, especially the stars, to believe the earth is round. Maybe I'm just weird that way.
I think there is a decent chance -- say, 15% or so -- that Kyrie Irving is either a sophisticated bot or an alien plant.
I doubt you'd get great value for Hayward coming off his injury, so forget that.GMP said:

Yes, he looked great against the Warriors in that series. Eventually, though, he got fed up with being the #2 guy in Cleveland. Maybe his entourage was whispering in his ear, "Don't play Second Fiddle to anybody... at least not on this flat earth!"concordtom said:
A flat world theory didn't stop Kyrie from beating the Warriors 2 years ago.
I'm just sayin'!

Sure, maybe they play the same role, but that's fine in this new world of interchangeable positions. I'd argue that Jaylen is a third SF.
Let them rest a bit during the regular season sharing PT. Come playoff time, you want that depth, as we saw from both Houston and Boston these past couple days.
If you were going to trade someone, Brown would be first up.
I agree the Celtics could use another big guy.
How about this as a "Weston Five":
Kyrie
Brown
Tatum
Hayward
Horford
Looks like a young Hamptons Five.
Quote:
Brown led the NBA in defensive field goal percentage at 39.6 percent on 9.4 shots per game, while holding shooters to minus5.7 percent below their average, per NBA Stats. The only players ahead of him in the latter category were Joel Embiid, Anthony Davis and Al Horford, three of the league's premier defenders who are all bigs.
Kyrie will stay where he isconcordtom said:
Interesting rumor that Kyrie might want to split to go to NYknicks.
If that were to happen they'd better keep Scary Terry!!!
