Kolek planning to go pro
I thought his body language was awful and his leadership skills were nowhere to be found after he turned the ankle. Now he is young but has a lot of experience. Even after the game he was essentially making excuses. And that goes for the entire Celtics team as they are constantly complaining and engaging in narcissistic douchebaggery. The fact of the matter is the better team won, period. The refs also didn't exactly help the Heat in this contest. They had liike two FT's with 5 mins to go in the game and never got a whistle at the rim. Smart "takes a charge" after looking like a bump on Jimmy was analogous to getting run over by a rhino, his bcrap needs to stop. if you're Boston what do you do with Brown and Mazzulla? Do you sign Brown for 300m? What's a viable trade? Have you seen enough of Mazzulla? Obviously he wasn't very good but is the youngest coach in the league in his 1st year. Personally, I think I get rid of both of them but they have to get the right pieces for Brown. And what happens if Sam through the advice of his family writes a letter?
I think the Celtics need to explore the market for Brown this year. The idea of giving him a Super Max would make me queasy, but then since he would be a UFA at the end of the season, I don't know what the alternative would be outside of a trade to a willing partner that would give up something big in return.

Whatup Monty. Get that bag.
I think he’s a good coach but I don’t know…NBA teams are swimming in money these days so they might as well pay big for the coach they want.
It sounds pretty insane.
The current CBA splits revenue between the owners and the players about 50/50. The current media deals are so lucrative that the top players make $50M per year. So teams have plenty of $$ to dish out to a coach.I just question if Monty is worth that much, but the Pistons do.
What about the luxury taxes most good teams are paying?
Well if he is worth it what are Pop, Spo, and Kerr worth? I think we are seeing from Spo and Miami that coaching does matter but truthfully I have no idea how you differentiate between most of the coaches in the NBA. We've had 5 former COY's fired. Quinn Snyder, Carlisle, McMillan, all seem like good coaches. How exactly do you differentiate between most of them notwithstanding what Spo has done vs other coaches and teams this year?
Interesting what-doomed-the-Celtics stat from The Athletic:Brown and Tatum shot a combined 18 for 90 from the 3-point arc during the series, an almost unfathomable 20 percent. Caleb Martin alone made four more 3-pointers than Boston’s two All-Stars combined — and he did it on 45 fewer attempts.
Heat defense causes teams to play poorly. The C's didn't have any chance in the coaching duel, but still the Heat just get under team's skin and turn the game ugly. Love to see it.
Denver in 4 or 5. Don't think it'll be that close. They'll have a shot with Spo and Jimmy, but Malone is significantly better than Thibs or Mazzulla.
