I hope Brad Stevens-as-GM is Rivers-as-GM or Thibs-as-GM bad.

For years Ainge was a media darling, a GM that can’t do anything wrong and is too smart to bargain with, only because he once stole candies from 8-year-olds Nets.

His mistake last offseason was Bargnani Trade bad,
and don’t forget that he was saved by Michael Jordan years ago,
when he proposed 5 first rounders for the Charlotte’s pick because he desperately want Kaminsky.
This time he wasn’t so lucky.

I’m very happy he’s finally exposed.

Brian Cronin: Historic fuckup. Think of how the Celtics weren’t even that awful without Hayward and then add in Turner and McDermott? Holy shit!

It’s really unbelievable how badly he managed that team. I think he just got so full of himself that ridiculous hijacking of the Nets that he refused to make another deal unless it was around that good again.

In reply to GHenman.

Ainge deserves to lose his job after turning down Turner and McDermott for Gordon Hayward who was leaving anyway.

Why wasn’t E doing his “Thibs sucks” routine when the talent-starved Knicks were overachieving their way to a #4 seed?

He was sitting in the corner shutting the fuck up. Now that the team is losing he’s back to tell us all how very smart he is!

Troll. Straight up

E, all merc’d out:
It looks for all the world that Thibs does generate excess regular season wins, but that advantage is mostly or entirely dissipated by the time he gets to the playoffs.And if you think about it, the regular season overachievement leads to a better-than-expected playoff seed, which makes the playoff relative underachievement worse, not better.This year, where they got to play the Hawks with home court advantage, is a perfect example.It’s one thing to get smoked by the Bucks or the Nets in the playoffs, another thing altogether to get smoked by the Hawks — with home court.

But he hasn’t been officially smoked by the Hawks yet and we’re all hoping he winds up beating the Hawks.

It’s good to have you back after your long hiatus. Were you taken captive for most of the season?

#It’s one thing to get smoked by the Bucks or the Nets in the playoffs, another thing altogether to get smoked by the Hawks — with home court.#

And of course it’s Definitely Another Thing to be considered a bottom 3 team talentwise and manage to make the playoffs quite easily…
