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

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.— Marc Stein (@TheSteinLine) May 10, 2021

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

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

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
― ciderpress, Monday, 10 May 2021 23:02 (three years ago) link
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— Ryan Bernardoni AC⚡️AB (@dangercart) May 10, 2021

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.”

crazy game from rob
Rob Williams joined Hakeem, Duncan, Dwight, Mourning, Bynum and Coleman as the only players with 10+ points, 9+ rebounds and 9+ blocks in a playoff game per @Sportradar. Only one to do it without a TO. He’s the 1st player ever with 9 blocks in under 25 minutes in a playoff game.— Jared Weiss (@JaredWeissNBA) May 23, 2021

Which prompts the question, is Rob going to be a Mourning or a Bynum?

anyway, a Bynum whose career isn’t destroyed by injuries isn’t such a bad comp!

good athetic piece on tatums evolving game
It shows up in Tatum’s finishing numbers, as he has gone from shooting 55.4 percent to 65.9 percent on shots within 5 feet, per NBA Stats. That trails only Giannis Antetokounmpo and LeBron James among non-bigs who took at least five shots at the rim per game.

xxp that's amazing about Tatum. Obv he's been great in the paint but that's some heady company - his game relies on skill and finesse a lot more than Giannis and Lebron who are such physical beasts (not to say they don't have skill and finesse)
