pls stay healthy rob

they celtics have been so careful with their guys health this year which the particularities of this season considered is probably wise now lets see what they got
― lag∞n, Friday, 30 April 2021 15:57 (three years ago) link
shorten the rotation play the guys get rolling IMHO
― lag∞n, Friday, 30 April 2021 15:59 (three years ago) link
maybe even let kemba play a back to back is that crazy
i haven’t really paid attention to playoff seeding but if they needed some wins to secure a spot out of the play in or something i’d think about it.
― call all destroyer, Friday, 30 April 2021 16:02 (three years ago) link
theyre a game out of 5th and two out of 4th, and both the teams ahead of them knicks and hawks have been playing well, getting one of those spots and avoiding the easts big 3 in the first round would be good, also getting some reps/getting rolling would be good too

not that bad!
brad has shortened his rotations a few times this year when they were struggling and needed a win, including wednesdays game where he played 8 guys, so he def knows its possible
― lag∞n, Friday, 30 April 2021 16:10 (three years ago) link
jabari parker’s an option too
― One Of The Bad Guys (Tracer Hand), Friday, 30 April 2021 16:35 (three years ago) link
yeah if you need bench scoring he can do some stuff, which is a good option to have for sure, but i dont think hes in the regular playoff rotation his defense is just non existent
― lag∞n, Friday, 30 April 2021 16:38 (three years ago) link
semi romeo and kornet could also get some spot play but they all have such huge holes in their games that theyre prob more situational options
― lag∞n, Friday, 30 April 2021 16:54 (three years ago) link
backup wing is def the problem spot, fourier can take some of those minutes but hes really more of a guard, semi can hit wide open 3s and play d, romeo can handle the ball a little and play d, hopefully nesmiths emerging play can continue emerging cause his game actually has all the stuff you want from a secondary wing hit a variety of 3s, play d, attack closeouts, keep the ball moving...

hes got size athleticism strength switchablity, ie the nba body
― lag∞n, Friday, 30 April 2021 17:03 (three years ago) link
also hes scrappy as hell, im liking nesmith, but hes a rookie whos played mostly like doodoo this year so
― lag∞n, Friday, 30 April 2021 17:04 (three years ago) link
with rob pritchard and nesmith dannys recent drafts are looking a little better, romeo could still be good too but he needs to stay healthy and actually play, so far just hasnt done anything at all on offense
― lag∞n, Friday, 30 April 2021 17:05 (three years ago) link
parker, romeo and kornet have the potential to find playoff matchup moments where they might help win gamesi would not be surprised if pritchaht has a breakout herro moment in the first/second round.

scal goes on about the weirdest stuff sometimes, like he just spent two minutes killing pritchard for not doing a good enough job boxing out jakob poeltl even though he clearly did his best and jakob is just a massive human being
― call all destroyer, Saturday, 1 May 2021 01:40 (three years ago) link
yeah he was like watch film of smart, who is much bigger and stronger btw

take your example from the guy who is probably the best guard at defending up in the nba

― lag∞n, Saturday, 1 May 2021 04:38 (three years ago) link
i was thinking about why nesmith has looked so good in the past two games and one thing just observationally is that he seems to be doing a lot more slashing, cutting, going for rebounds, etc.
even when you are drafting someone to be a good shooter, i wonder if it makes sense to get them involved doing those things and just running around playing basketball vs standing in the corner and pinning everything on whether the shot goes in or not.
― call all destroyer, Saturday, 1 May 2021 14:01 (three years ago) link
hes been VERY active for sure, good stuff
― lag∞n, Saturday, 1 May 2021 14:48 (three years ago) link
and yeah gotta think running around doing stuff is better than standing in the corner on a number of levels

I wasn't too worried about it until I read that Jaylen was screaming in pain as he hopped to the locker room. Hindsight is 2020 but nagl when your 2 best players collide and get hurt down 7(?) with 40 seconds to play

Brad Stevens said Robert Williams is out tonight with turf toe. He’s meeting with specialists to see the best course of action. Stevens said Williams almost sat Wednesday. Isn’t sure what his availability will be over the next week. As Stevens said, turf toe lingers.— Jay King (@ByJayKing) May 7, 2021

pretty insane given how big these next two games are that the heat and celts haven’t played since that payton prichard tip in which feels like half a decade ago. not sure how that’s possible

Big loss for Boston. Celtics say All-Star Jaylen Brown was diagnosed with a torn scapholunate ligament in his left wrist and will require surgery that sidelines him for the remainder of the 2020-21 season.— Marc Stein (@TheSteinLine) May 10, 2021

obvs a weird season in general for the nba but still i do think the celtics should be at least wondering thinking about if brad mightve run his course
Thought @JaredWeissNBA had some great points here about the Celtics lack of care and defensive intensity this season, so I looked into it a bit more:The C's are 18th in defensive rating, and 19th in turnover percent this season, their lowest mark in 6 yearsdefinitely not ideal https://t.co/tljIENbVHS pic.twitter.com/hcEN8u3OMI— Pranav Rajaram (@_pranavrajaram) May 10, 2021
