in all seriousness great signing for the celtics for the money they got him

my kids say schroder is trash, this is entirely based on his stats in NBA2K

but have they given him a nickname???

good piece in the athletic today about horford making him feel welcome

https://theathletic.com/2860582/2021/10/01/how-did-dennis-schroder-end-up-choosing-the-celtics-it-started-with-al-horford-sliding-into-his-dms/

“Let’s get on a call,” Horford said, according to Schröder, “and talk about the Boston Celtics.”

On the phone, Horford laid out his recruiting pitch. He told Schröder his hard-nosed style would fit well in the Celtics organization and in the city of Boston. Horford emphasized that after needing to suppress his game in Los Angeles for a season, Schröder would be able to showcase his talents on the Celtics. As much as anything, Horford stressed to Schröder how badly the Celtics needed him.

“You’re going to have a big year here,” Horford said, according to Schröder, “because we know your value and we know how to put you in place to be successful.’”

“One big reason I chose the Boston Celtics was because of him,” Schröder said during a phone call Thursday evening.

I like to hear this, showtime Celtics would be fun:

Schröder has only gone through three days of practice with Boston, but likes the vibe he has gotten from the team so far. Once the season starts, he wants the Celtics to play an up-tempo style. Especially when he’s on the court with Tatum and Brown, he wants to push the pace.

“If I’m playing with them, we’ve gotta make it as fast as possible,” Schröder said. “We’ve gotta get down the floor, pushing the pace. I think that’s what fits me as well. I think Jaylen Brown was number one in fast-break points in the league. So I think helping him more get to his spots, get open. And Jayson Tatum, put him in the spots that he can be effective — and more effective. I think that will be great.”

you love to hear it

hell yeah

celtics have a lot of lineup options this year will be interesting to see how it shakes out

3 lock starters tatum brown smart
then the last two spots could be any of rob horf richardson schroder and nesmith/pritchard/langford might even get in the mix at some point

if i had to guess their opening night starters are rob/horf/jayson/jaylen/marcus

gotta love training camp

this lineup is freaking huge

I would be very skeptical of Horford being able to play the 4.

yeah i dont think they will start horford and rob both

i think they might, defense at the 4 will def be an issue but having horfs shooting and playmaking in that lineup makes a lot of sense, also allows fire & ice to shift down a position to where they have size advantages, tho even if they do that theyll prob still finish games w a small lineup

i think they'll likely mix it up with speed units and height; rob/horf would be good pace-breaking for a team about to get on a roll

how big is the ball on a scale of 1 to 10

give it a solid 5

robs blocked two jumpers so far

i don't do dystopia stuff so i know little about squid game other than it is "popular on the internet" but i agree with her regardless

Hoyeon Jung, Squid Game star, reveals in a recent interview to Vogue Korea that lately she’s been obsessed with Jayson Tatum of the Boston Celtics.

hahahah ok then

i tried just now to figure out what the original quote was but i think it was just a made up joke from the beginning

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fY6yAVlq5C4

nesmith looks like hes adjusting to the speed of the nba after playing on heels last year, pritchard romeo and grant all looking more comfortable out there in the preseason fwiw

pritchard obvs had a great rookie year but now hes just bombing 30 footers without hesitation and has been aggressive making plays too, dont want to read too much into the preseason but the celtics bench could be actually good this year, should at the very least be better than last seasons dumpster fire

pritchard looks great in every clip i've seen. reports from summer league saying he was in that clear tier of players who didn't need to be there were very exciting.

yeah he schooled summer league

i'm most fascinated to see if we finally get a sense of what romeo actually is as a player. i have no feel for that at all. beyond some of the good individual defense we've seen.

yeah he was a big time high school player, indiana mr basketball top 10 ten recruit and so forth, then has just been injured since

Marcus Smart, suspended for tomorrow night's game for breaking team rules, is "remorseful," according to Ime Udoka.

Smart missed the team flight to Orlando, source tells ESPN. https://t.co/jsE7GlYFkN

That's a rather big breach of the rules, tbh.

pritchard has "celtics fan favorite" written all over him

iow: white kid, scrappy attitude, good head for the game, not a pretty player but effective. did I get that right?

hes not actually that scrappy idk, going to be hard for anyone to break into the fan fave game with marcus around, you know who is actually extremely scrappy tho is nesmith

yes and i might also add "doesn't as of yet have much to say to the media and seems to be keeping his head down in public so far"

i mean i like pritchard a lot but hes a shooter with a pretty low key demeanor

he's apparently a super hard worker but it's all skills focused, like he's not a tj mcconnell diving on loose balls to make a living type of guy

in conclusion i think he has a chance to find a place in celtics fans hearts but i cant see him being really a favorite unless maybe he starts hitting a shitload of threes and getting steals or something, if he maxes out his ceiling there could be something there

reasonable

“People are sleeping on Boston. The Celtics are deep, with the makings of a top-5-ish defense; lineups featuring Marcus Smart, Jayson Tatum, Jaylen Brown, and Robert Williams III will be hard to score against.”
