he's def leaner. had a nice over the shoulder pass to nader too.

everyone is talking about the weight loss which is a good improvement, but the jump looks like he changed it a lot and it looks like a realistic nba shot, he used to bring the ball too far back and his whole form just seemed really uncoordinated, it looks fluid now and hes cocking the ball further forward

if he cld become a reasonable shooter that wld be huge

heres last years shot https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zhgSSbBcYGc

and nowww

the victory of the set shot over the two motion jumper is an under appreciated nba trend, we went from kobe jumping as high as he cld then flinging the ball with his arms to steph jumping like 4 inches and shooting in one quick motion

its funny in summer league everyone was freaking out over tatums fall away midrange game and there was even one sportswriter who was worried abt his future because thats not a efficient shot even tho really he was taking all types of shots and the fallaway was just what made the hightlights, anyway since the real nba has started hes barely taken one of those instead hes hitting 50% on threes and doin stuff like this

if u really need to generate a dece look its good to have an unblockable shot in yr pocket tho

celtics tv guys cant stop talking about what a big kid he is, theyre all you see him from far away and youre like fine then youre next to him in the elevator and youre like wow thats a big kid wide shoulders

also they have basically stopped apologizing for comparing him to pierce

also i love this twitter account it reads exactly like some nonsense generating bot

theyre worried in the comments that tatums knees might be a lil weak

need 2 do some squats kid

today in probably meaningless early season stats

The Boston Celtics have a 103.6 offensive rating this year, ranked 19th league wide.

With Marcus Smart and Kyrie Irving on the floor, it’s 111.

With Marcus Smart and not Kyrie Irving, it’s 103.5.

With Irving and not Smart, 100.6.

im getting old ... seems weird that the morris bros are already considered vets

ha i thought the same, theyre pushing 30 tho!

I wonder about the Morris bros. They got a real bum rap here in PHX for obv reasons so I never heard anything but negative.

seems like they cld be kinda knuckleheads who have matured, they super hate the suns org from what ive heard

marcus seems not that great at basketball fwiw his main move is taking contested mid range shots, hes kinda undersized and not that athletic so he cant really defend or rebound, also hes convinced he shd be starting, his brother is/plays bigger tho so he has more of a role as physical inside presence/can play some center

yeah they got played by the suns. i woulda been mad too but at the same time like dudes you cant really expect to just be on the same team forever.

the conventional wisdom around the league is that theyre a bad influence on each other lol

theyre both just pretty middle of the road PFs in the league. good guys to have on the team at the right price. especially if you get one like marcus who is helping the young stud with the life of an nba baller pro tips and such.

markieff played great in last years wiz-celtics series is basically what im basing my opinion of him on

the new thing tommy wont stop talking about now that hes tired of discussing how big jason tatum is in the elevator is how kyrie spends like 20 minutes before every game practicing weird midrange bankshots, he yells IVE NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE IT in a tone thats simultaneously shocked and suspects everything it knows is wrong

😭😭😭😭😭

there was a good kyrie moment in todays game where jaylen and kyrie both went for the same defensive rebound jaylen fell down and kyrie got the rebound then kyrie while dribbling offers jaylen a hand up and jaylen gives him this expression like wtf are you doing play basketball

one of the tv guys just goes kyrie???

jayson update: he hit a three as the pnr ball handler today

one crazy thing to think abt with the celtics success this year is not only are they doing it while only returning one starter from last year and losing hayward which shook up their rotations even further but theyve played the most games in the league so far which means theyve had almost no time to practice

the flip side of the being they are v well positioned to have a good rest of the season

jayson tatum just like everyone else has no idea how he can shoot 15% better from 3 in the pros than he did in college

If the season ended today, The Celtics would have the best possible odds that they can achieve for getting the Lakers pick (80.4%).

— Ryan Bernardoni (@dangercart) December 30, 2017

the lakers have lost 8 of 10 and currently have the 3rd worst record in the whole nba

i want them to get one of the two big big men ayton and bamba

kyrie started using comic sans exclusively and gilbert felt threatened is what im reading between the lines here http://nba.nbcsports.com/2018/01/03/report-cavaliers-explored-trading-kyrie-irving-last-june-before-his-request/

Last summer’s trade request from Kyrie Irving came out of the blue for a lot of fans, and confused people — why would he want to leave a team that had been to three consecutive Finals and has the best player on the planet in LeBron James? Was his ego so big he had to do it his way? That’s not how Irving saw it, he saw a team he thought no longer wanted him.

The Cavaliers explored trading Irving before he ever made his request, reports ESPN’s Jackie MacMullan, who had a lengthy interview with Irving about the trade that sent him to Boston

more petty IT celtics drama the celtics wanted to show a tribute video for him at the game last night but IT said hed rather wait for a game when hes playing and his family can be there but then it turns out the 2nd cleveland game in boston is the night pierce gets his jersey retired and now pierce is saying that its not ok but IT thinks its prob ok lol

Paul Pierce said Isaiah Thomas missed his opportunity for a Celtics tribute video, and doesn't want to see any IT highlights during his jersey retirement ceremony. https://t.co/fRyIMiyS2i
