CELTICS 2010

let bill follow his muse lol

tbc the topic was players from playoff teams you would want for the next 4 months only....tatum on an epic heater playing awesome help defense every night is very desirable in that capacity. luka rules of course but not on defense and i wouldn't be shocked if his first playoffs is a little shaky.

Yea I guess it’s a little apples and oranges bc Tatum is the best player and linchpin of a very well constructed team whereas Luka IS the mavs.

oh yeah that's the good stuff

one thing i noticed in that is he looks so much stronger this year from last particularly in the famous core strength just way less floppy on his shot and ball handling its really allowed him to tighten everything up

definitely--he's getting to the point where he can drive, weather the contact, and either get fouled or wait for the defender to go past him and put up an easy shot.

thank you dunkin

kemba playing like ass crap since coming back from the sore knee hope he is all right

he's pretty clearly not right

they shd drain it and give him a shot im not a doctor

drain out the bad stuff, shoot in the good stuff--makes sense to me.

yeah its basically like working on a car, something i know nothing about

you ever cleaned a drain it's literally the same thing

Marcus Smart, who tested positive for coronavirus, has volunteered to donate his blood plasma for research.

Amazing.

if marcus smarts blood becomes the basis for the corona vaccine thats final proof that ive been in a coma for a while

further proof that he's the best defensive player in the nba.

(Aimless mentally compares Smart to Rudy Gobert)

you have a point

damn that around the back dribble was smooth and tight.

game 4 and game 6 of the 2008 finals on ESPN tonight, truly anything is possible

ray allen had so many big rebounds in game 4! played great defense too. i think his all-around game is somewhat forgotten--he had no weaknesses to speak of.

this is the sasha vujacic game! i forgot.

yeah ppl think he was just a shooter he averaged 26 one year and 25 the year before with 4 and 4 he was a star

game 6 now. 58-35 at halftime. just an absolute shitkicking at this point. the 2008 celtics were really good!

that team wins multiple rings in the vast majority of simulations run one has to think

it's interesting if you look at it....pierce/garnett/ray were all between 30 and 32 in '08 so right at the point when you expect some declines to start. they also had a hard time finding bench guys after this season. in particular they never found another posey.

but yeah, if you take '08-'09 and '09-'10 together and think about the odds, in most scenarios they should have gotten another one.

even the next season after too they started out rolling then garnett got injured

of course i remembered that the '08 celtics had to go to 7 games in the first two playoff rounds because i was watching those games and was immensely frustrated. i had forgotten that the lakers had basically rolled in 4, 6, and 5 games through their series. interesting now because this lakers team has some holes! outside of kobe, pau, odom, and derek fisher (really gritting my teeth on that last one) this is not a great team at all.

in most scenarios they should have gotten another one

Count yourself lucky. The 1977 Trail Blazers should have had a repeat title at the absolute minimum. Probably a three-peat. Shit happened. They've never had a second title.

perkins going down in game 6 in 2010 was the beginning of the end of everything.

prob jaylens best game makin it look easy

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rHc8-fTxJ4M

his handle had gotten so much better this season. that iso around 3:00 where he puts thybulle in the mix and easily gets to his spot.

hes improved so much since coming into the league its nuts, he had a bunch of stuff that needed serious upgrade and hes pretty much checked every box

like his jumper was authentically bad

yup. he's unrecognizable from his rookie year.

bodes well for the future as a guy who continues to work on his game

After years of looking for this particular game, I almost gave up hope I will ever find the moment when Tommy Heinsohn compared Greg Stiemsma to Bill Russell.

everyone loves marcus

did tatum get a hoop at his house finally

pretty good analysis of jaylen, needs to work on playmaking, pullup 3s, help D

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zvcs4Fk6yt0

one part that kinda made me lol and rmde tho was when the guy said hes not even that good of a finisher he just finds easy layups like thats not a good thing, lil bit of not seeing the forest altogether tbh

An important takeaway from Trey Davis' music video: Marcus Smart goes hard on mini hoops.

appreciating kembas weird quality finishing

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8ktEAVEywQo

i appreciate the decisiveness in kemba's game. he never gets caught off guard.

ha yes nurture that resentment jaylen let it fuel your dominance

Jaylen Brown says Billy Donovan told him at 17 years old that he would only be in the league three years “because you don’t play hard.”https://t.co/X4ujQ1WsEp pic.twitter.com/RLZfRNEiXb

Shame on Billy for playing Jaylen like a violin.
