CELTICS 2010

not so much Caruso over Ja though. even I have my limits.

people just love derrick rose huh

its fucked up

yeah it really is

He’s been treated like some sort of saint his whole career, I’ve never been able to wrap my head around it. One guy on ILH got really mad and said I just don’t understand Chicago

aw I wish deej posted to ILH more

lolll

idk what it is about volume-shooting PGs but they develop these weird followings that are way disproportionate with their skill/impact

the cool proportionate thing to like now is playmaking centers

as the president of the jakob poeltl fan club i agree

peloton for the painfully alone (m bison)

its just the most entertaining style of player

there is def something to that, theyve got crazy good dribbling skills, they can make something out of nothing, and they are merely above average in size and are there4 more relatable as humans

feel like if you get an MVP you’re just gonna bank a certain amount of stans that will always have your back

its not even a real mvp, its a post-heel turn "we're mad at lebron" mvp, thats not worth as much

it's gonna look even sillier when it's the first non-HoF-player MVP

yeesh, yeah

it's gonna look even sillier when it's the first non-HoF-player MVP

think his second act as boston 6th man put him over the top, but he def didnt have the big counting number for it

it's weird to me that westbrook doesn't have that many stans, he fits that mold and he's hyper-competitive

hasn't really done anything as the #1 guy on a team

he averaged a triple double!

i mean he's a super flawed player and probably a playoff liability against a competent defence. I just would expect him to have an irrational fanbase pestering people on twitter or whatever

i had a westbrook stan in the mentions of my hoops burner account relentlessly attacking paul george, so they do exist

The first time Westbrook averaged a triple double there was that guy at deadspin who said if you didn’t think he was MVP you were racist or whatever

Jaylen Brown is the most efficient post player in the NBA

The worst part about this clip is Grant PERFECTLY capturing the tone of the overly serious “Thank you, Marcus” we give players/coaches after every scrum. https://t.co/NNSI0FrA4B

seems like tatum is making progress in being more physical on drives

i saw a post today (maybe from the athletic) about how he's starting using the jump stop in the paint to be more effective.

yeah i read that

this game happening vs the wizards right now is pretty low qual

The Celtics just shot 29.2 percent in the first half against, statistically speaking, one of the worst defenses in NBA history. Just seven assists for the Celtics in that half.

celtics can get kinda low energy with out kemba (flu) in the mix

the schedule is getting pretty busy too

this is one of those games where smart decides hes going to play like someone whose good at scoring

https://www.nbcsports.com/boston/celtics/dressed-success-celtics-marcus-smart-has-obsession-robes

Truth be told, Smart wasn’t always a robe guy. But the warmth and simplicity of the robe soon won him over.

“That’s what’s crazy — I didn't start really messing with robes until my first year in the NBA. Then I just kinda liked it,” said Smart. "It’s comfy, it’s easy to put on. You're trying to look for stuff in your closet, you’re like, ‘You know what, just throw a robe on, some sweatpants, and you’re ready to go.’”

"Truth be told, Smart wasn’t always a robe guy."
this is how you start a novel.

tatum 41pts in 30mins

Grant Williams just fouled out for the Celtics in 13 minutes.

0 Points
1 Rebound
1 Assist

Legendary performance.

not really an amazing game to be at other than tatum going completely nuts. the pels were really depleted even since their game last night.

seeing kemba's crazy side-to-side dribble moves in person was fun.

my buddy was saying that he didn't like the jaxon hayes pick during warmups so we had a good running joke as jaxon scored 20 (with ONE rebound lmao).

45% on stepbacks

NEW: Jayson Tatum shot 27 percent on step-back 3-pointers last year. He’s up to 45 percent this season.

Here’s how Tatum, with help from Drew Hanlen, turned step-back triples into a major weapon.https://t.co/dkFFgSHMNZ pic.twitter.com/BBdJObC04q

thats what he needs to do to be an elite scorer

that and

Larranaga said he pushes Tatum to relocate around the perimeter, to take advantage of momentary defensive slippages that can open up opportunities from deep.

“Being able to hit a three without penetrating the defensive shell is important, but it also makes it really important to be active off the ball and be really great at using off-ball screens, running in transition,” Larranga said. “That’s something I try to share with Jay and really push him: Hey, every time he runs in transition, something good is going to happen, whether he has the ball or doesn’t have the ball.”

“A guy like him that’s so talented relies on having the ball in his hands, and he does wonders,” Hanlen said. “But as he matures and gets older, he’ll let the game come to him more by putting himself in advantageous spots and taking advantage of easy scoring opportunities.”

nice catch

Still can’t believe how easy Smart made the one-hand grab look. pic.twitter.com/lmDUaa5Tzs
