lmao

Kyrie Irving said he was a watching Marcus Smart college highlights recently. Kyrie: “Yeah, in my downtime I watch Marcus Smart highlights.”

4 defenders are no problem for Kyrie 😳 pic.twitter.com/hCxpVZ6QT2

celtics are good now

The @celtics have won 8 in a row, with a +182 point differential over that span.

That is Boston's best point differential over any 8-game span within a season in team history.

The last team to have a better point diff over an 8-game span was the Suns in April 1989.#CUsRise

they've had an insanely soft schedule but props for taking care of business as they say

soft but not insanely nola twice and "the surging wolves" once, also theyve done more than take care of business, literally the most lopsided 8 game span since 1989 kevin!

"the surging wolves"

yeah they have taken care of business you could almost say they're due for a promotion, to contender status

love how the wolves surge it's my favorite wolf characteristic

the celtics have always had contender status in fact they have been the favorites

somehow or other the wolves surge, but they are never resurgent :-(

noticed this 2nd in the air jump to contest 3pt defense w the c's, p interesting https://www.celticsblog.com/2018/10/25/18018908/cracking-the-code-how-the-boston-celtics-became-the-nbas-best-at-defending-three-pointers-nba-film

lol

Kelly Oubre on the boos: “I really thought they were going to be over that, man. Kelly’s gone in Miami. I’m gone in Phoenix. We on different teams now, but it’s going to follow me my whole career. So I’m going to embrace it. I love it."

it's wild to say but i like kelly oubre, he seems cool

Wave Papi is a good nickname

major moments for the celtics this season, kyrie cutting his hair, kyrie hating colonialism

Kyrie Irving has been shooting 45% from three in 14 games since this moment, shooting 38.2% in 17 games before that. The Fuck Thanksgiving Celtics were 9-9 before and are 11-4 since. https://t.co/4qdfrG1ZKA

kyrie hating colonialism

The holiday celebrated as Thanksgiving in the US was proclaimed by Abe Lincoln after the battle of Gettysburg. All that hoo-hah about pilgrims is a later overlay on this undisputed fact, probably rooted in the desire to placate Jim Crow southerners by divorcing that holiday from the treasonable Civil War they started and lost.

chut up

for anti-colonial cred kyrie should have said "fuck Columbus Day"

this may come as a shock to you but colonialism relies on certain mythologies that may not upon examination be 100% historically complete

for anti-colonial cred kyrie should have said "fuck Columbus Day"

its is understandable tho that in the fog of pedantry you may have overlooked the fact that the event in question took place on thanksgiving not columbus day

anyway i suggest you embark on a speaking tour of indian reservations encouraging them to drop their distaste for thanksgiving in favor of disliking columbus day more, and never post in this thread again

great idea! but not until after I get the kinks worked out of this perpetual motion machine I've been working on.

Since moving Marcus Smart into the starting lineup on Nov. 26 the Celtics have a 20.3 net rating with Kyrie Irving on the court. That drops to -8.3 with Irving on the bench. Just insane splits.

Their net rating is -4.1 with Terry Rozier on the court during the same stretch.

wld be nice if jaylen brown and gordon hayward started playing good imho

they should wait until after the spurs game to play good tho

thats fine it doesnt have to be right away just like at some point before the playoffs

Still not worried about them quite yet. Maybe JB a little more cos last years success seemed to have a little flukey potential

happy new year to al horf

henlo i have a celtic opinion and it is that daniel theis AINT SHIT

celtics should maybe make a trade or something

gordon hayward is WAAASHHHHHHHHHHHHED

wow i appreciate yr guys concern and all

i want the c's to succeed

jaylen had a great game. an irving-brown-tatum-morris-horford lineup will be tough to beat if brown plays like that consistently.

btw belinelli scratched up both of kyries eyes tell that hoe to trim his nails

their starting lineup has been destroying teams since they went to it, jaylen shd play that way off the bench all the time tho

henlo i have a celtic opinion and it is that daniel theis AINT SHIT

hes been getting exposed by big postupable guys since baynes went down, but hes a useful player if he doesnt have to defend embiid et al hes just not strong enough

he just offered zero rim protection. spurs had a layup line going in the 3q.

that was not a great quarter for the celtics

they were playing great D at the beginning of the year but cldnt score now that their O is rolling theyve decided theyre not that into defensing
