The Ingredients Are There, You Just Need To Add Some Flavor

I personally don't understand how a team that made it to the finals can be subject to such insane banter. We need to trade JB and Marcus, and Tatum is gonna leave after his contract. We need to trade for KD, blah blah blah! Celtics fans we have the ingredients and guess what we were two wins away. What does that tell me we just need to add some flavor to put this team over the top.

What flavor you ask, well we need some scoring off the bench. A guy who can carry that second unit, a guy who alongside the Jays in crunch time can get his buckets. A guy who can give the Jays a break and not miss a beat. We also need another quality big man to have as insurance for RWill. While he's still peaking as a player we all know he has injury issues.

This group/team has yet to reach its peak and that's saying something given they made it to the finals. There's no need to subtract from this roster only to add key pieces that will get us over the top. Thankfully ownership has given Brad the go ahead to spend and I hope it's not just blowing smoke. If that's the case this could be one of the better rosters by the start of the year.

Brad needs to harness some of that Red Auerbach cunningness to go out there and make the right moves. If he does then the flavor of this team will taste like NBA Champs to me next season.

Did the Celtics Kevin McHale really have a wingspan of 8-feet?

According to many sources, the Celtics Kevin McHale did indeed have an estimated wingspan of 8-feet. One of those sources is Wikipedia, as seen below: Kevin McHale American basketball player DescriptionKevin Edward McHale is an American retired basketball player who played his entire professional career for the Boston Celtics. He is a Basketball Hall of Fame inductee, and is regarded as one of the best power forwards of all time. He was named to the NBA's 50th Anniversary All-Time Team. Wikipedia Born: December 19, 1957 (age 61 years), Hibbing, MN Wingspan: 8′ 0″ Height: 6′ 10″ Spouse: Lynn McHale (m. 1982) NBA draft: 1980, Boston Celtics (Round: 1 / Pick: 3) Hall of fame induction: 1999 Number: 32 (Boston Celtics / Power forward, Center) Kevin was listed at 6'10" tall when he was drafted with the 3rd pick in the 1980 draft. Red Auerbach, in yet another heist, brought in both McHale and center Robert Parish (via trade) prior to the Celtics' 1980-81 Champion

In defense of Marcus Smart

Let me make it clear first of all that I am totally against making a threat of any kind that even hints at harming, or certainly killing, another human being. Marcus Smart was wrong in doing so in the Celtics loss to the tanking Oklahoma City Thunder , and he deserved the one-game suspension. But to be honest, part of me loved that it occurred. . This type of thing can happen when a player gets to a point "beyond frustration" and is having a bad game. Marcus and his teammates have been under-performing generally - were in the process of losing to a pathetic-and-tanking Thunder team - and Smart was having a bad game . And he let loose verbally at the closest target - an NBA official. Wilt Chamberlain did a similar act versus referee, Earl Strom when Wilt was having his usual tortuous time at the free throw line (per Chicago Tribune's Sam Smith): ''He was in one of those 1-for-13s,'' recalls referee Earl Strom. ''Nothing was getting close. S
