CELTICS 2010

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

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

right

pretty good comeback btw

With just over 10 minutes to go in the 4th quarter tonight, Jayson Tatum had 30 points, over the next 15 minutes of action, he scored 30 more points.

dece game

he went 28-9-4 on 47/40/88 for april

jason tatum is good at basketball

with games of 60, 53, and 44 xp

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.

hes been VERY active for sure, good stuff

and yeah gotta think running around doing stuff is better than standing in the corner on a number of levels

dece

Jayson Tatum is the Eastern Conference Player of the Week.

He averaged 42.7 points, 6 rebounds and 6 assists on the week.

And 1/2 human pretzel formed by his own right leg and that of his all-star teammate

not the most heartening play to see at the end of a weird loss lol

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

everyone was talking like they were fine after the game, havent heard anything since tho

not bad for a shortened season in which he got long covid

Per the Celtics, Jayson Tatum is the first Celtic to win Player of the Week three times in a season since Kevin Garnett in 2007-08.

world is a fuck

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.

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

The Celtics have now allowed three 70-point first halves over their last five games.

— Chris Grenham (@chrisgrenham) May 9, 2021

not a great season for the ol boston celtics!

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.

ffs

oh man wtf

the celtics have been healthy for like 10 games in the past five years i swear, maybe times to turn over the training staff idk

looking forward... celtics should tank lol

'scapholunate' is a new one for me

how does an nba guy get turf toe? do they practice on turf?

thats how the celtics get their distinctive green court

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 years
definitely not ideal https://t.co/tljIENbVHS pic.twitter.com/hcEN8u3OMI

im sure theyll at least give him another year, which is also im sure the right decision, but still

i think so yeah but the defense really is the difference this season and its not like they don't have the guys to do well on that end

yeah the team just failing to play defense is not a great sign for the coaching, but obvs very weird season so idk

i did catch them playing good D on occasion this season so i dont think they just forgot how to do it

theres this also

Somehow, this actually understates the impact COVID had on the team. Tatum missed “only” five games but was clearly impacted by the effects for at least a month more. Fournier was understandably awful for a period after his long absence with “brain fog.” https://t.co/uVpJkCBJ40

FUCK

Jaylen Brown had been grabbing at his left wrist since April 15 after an awkward fall against the Lakers. But that tumble against OKC seemed to bother him even more. https://t.co/VenjzRZtVg pic.twitter.com/g3SXhJc3Lm

aw fuck just heard about brown. my mother-in-law is gonna be apoplectic.

tristan trending for bad reasons

genuinely awful signing

lmao this kg oral history on the athletic

Clayton Wilson, former equipment manager: Every practice was like the seventh game of the Finals. (Former Wolves GM Kevin) McHale would come into my office before practice and ask me to cheer against KG to get the intensity going at practice.

I would say (to Sam Mitchell), “He can’t guard you, Sam! Bust his young butt, Sam! Kick that butt blue team or whatever team that wasn’t KG’s.”

KG would stare me down, swear, tell me to get my pom-poms out and then lock down Sam and start talking smack.

Then Sam would take his mouthpiece out and tell me to shut the fuck up. He had enough problems playing against the young fella without me getting him hyped. I would then go back to work, and McHale would give me a “that-a-boy.”

gold. looking forward to reading that. there must be a million KG stories of that caliber
