    3/21 - 3/27 Games Discussion Thread

    Thanks goodness Serge throw a closed fist punch instead of making a pew pew finger gun gesture. I find the fact an upset player could think of the poor Canadian children in the heat of the moment like that impressive. Admirable, really.

      Year 4 of a full rebuild?

        Yea Pierce/Garnett were traded in 2013. So 2013/14, 2014/15, 2015/16, 2016/17. And you can't say that a team led by Avery Bradley, Rajon Rondo, Jeff Green, Jared Sullinger is a team that should be competing for a playoff spot. And a team led by Al Horford, Isaiah Thomas and Avery Bradley isn't a championship contender. Sorry green teamers.

          Yep, year 4 of a total rebuild is correct. Take a look at the 2013-14 roster. That was the start of the rebuild.

              That's an...interesting logic that you came to.

              I was under the impression that once you become a Top 4 team in your conference, that the rebuild label goes out the window and that it's about adding on to a core.

              Nobody said it's a championship contender(although there were folks saying they could challenge Cleveland)but it's far from still being rebuild project in comparison to other teams.

                Four year's removed from a total rebuild would be the correct wording. But I think we all knew what he meant with his initial post.

                  Even if you go by that logic this is still year 4 from a complete rebuild. As the last 2 years we were the 7 seed and 5 seed. This is our first year as a top 4 team in the East. Also I'm not entirely sold that this is the core. If you listen to chatter around the team the owner (Wyc Grousbeck) says we need at least 2 more pieces and if Danny Ainge believed in this team why didn't he make a move for a cheap rebounding big like Nerlens Noel or Larry Sanders. Sanders passed on us because we didn't want to give any money for next year.

                    Nah



                    Fired off a couple rounds to let him know that nonsense wasn't gonna fly. Lopez started the ruckus and Serge had to end it for the sake of all those in attendance. The children will understand.. Admirable indeed.

                      Admirable, indeed. No finger gun strays made contact with an innocent bystander and still got some punches off.

                      Unrelated, I was unaware how close Toronto is to Washington in the standings. Three seed looks to be within reach.

                          I knew what he meant. I just don't agree with THIS current team still in a rebuild. That's all.

                          And to answer his question, just because they didn't make a move at the deadline doesn't mean they're still rebuilding. It means that there wasn't anybody worth adding or giving up anything that would put them on the same level of Boston(at least that was the talk here).

                          As for Larry Sanders, people forget he hasn't played Basketball in 2-3(?)years so let's not act like teams missed out because we don't know how he'll look after a lengthy layoff like that.

                            I feel like this is a joking post, but I see you saying Lopez started this fight and I'm not so sure any more.

                                Speaking on Brooks, what the hell happened to that guy. He showed some promise as rookie.
