CELTICS 2010

some of the new stuff theyre asking tatum to do does seem to be starting to work hes finding guys better out of the double team and playing more physical inside

basketball is so weird, how can the celtics be just 5 games off the pace rn

youre never out of it when you maintain a perfect 500 record

just fill the tank a quarter of the way up when you get down to half a tank

exactly

namaste

its interesting how much better the celtics look when jayson tatum is hitting 3s, something to ponder

also when their schedule goes from hard to easy

good combo. sometimes its good to make plenty of shots against bad teams, but not everyone agrees unfortunately.

yeah i mean personally id just try it see how it goes

otm

“I love when Rob plays,” Tatum said. “When you’re driving in traffic and you gotta kick out, you can just throw it to the sky and he’ll catch it.”

Sky Lord

tvabby hates the creepy new orleans baby and the tshirt gun

You know what I just learned? The tee shirt gun going off right in front of my face is even scarier than the Cake Baby! Rough game for me so far. https://t.co/B1ldoYbku3

is cake baby in the line of succession to the smoothie king

i'm not sure but we need answers

marcus has been playing good point guard and the team needs it

Marcus Smart has played his best basketball of the season in his return to action this week. After tonight’s win, he’s a +93 during Boston's last four games.

team needs to start plating at least one theres no way marcus smart can make good passes story a week

its funny hearing people say i should only take high quality shots

celtics have been within five games of .500 since the beginning of last season

Ime Udoka received a coach of the month nomination for January. Celtics entered the month 2 games below .500 and in 9th place, then finished the month 2 games ABOVE .500…yet somehow still in 9th place. https://t.co/WgS0njH53v

tatum still shot 33% from 3 for the month which is where hes at for the year too, ive said it before but step back side step etc 3s just arent good shots, they not only dont go in but theyre ball stopping behavior, its good to have one in your pocket for end of shot clock situations but otherwise try to find better shots, move without the ball or something

"iso 3s"

if you can get an iso three going towards the basket thats a little better but yeah basically

celtics working on another 4th quarter collapse but rob didnt feel like it

they never lost the lead or even ended up tied which i will consider progress against a respectable hornets team

they won without either jay getting 20, gotta be rare

definitely. josh richardson shooting the hell out of the ball helped. and marcus is on one of his good streaks as an offensive player.

Seems pretty good.

jaysons project to gas rob up seems to be going well

“I feel like I talk about Rob every day,” Tatum said before Friday’s game in Detroit. “But he deserves it and maybe All-Star aside, I think Rob has the potential to win Defensive Player of the Year one year, one of these days. I think that’s in his future coming up.”

A few hours later, Williams had 11 points and 11 rebounds, didn’t miss a shot, and his five blocks were more than the entire Pistons roster in Boston’s 102-93 win.

celtics are... rolling

letting it ride with their best 8 guys. it was time.

yeah, would be cool if they had another guy tho

is the trade deadline thursday? praying for madness

xp yes, not a good development story that they couldn't get one of pritchard/langfod/nesmith to be a rotation player

grant came through tho

yeah they got grant to fulfill his role and that was looking iffy for quite a while

still believe pritchard will slot if they get him minutes

celtics shouldnt trade schroder if its just for a 2nd theyre playing good let it ride who cares about a dumb 2nd anyway

agree

celtics have been within five games of .500 since the beginning of last season

sadly, the streak has, as all things must, come to an end

celtics have won eight of ten, seven of which were blowouts, garbage time notwithstanding, all vs bad or temporarily bad via injury teams

both losses were pretty bad, 11pt 4th quarter collapse vs the blazers and got smoked end to end by the hawks

tomorrrow the celtics will host the nuggets and me, a nuggets fan

oh nice, enjoy your time with the joker, tho unfortunately jokes are against the law in boston

so, thoughts on Derrick White? Seems like selling high on Richardson is a good thing though always precarious to upset the fragile balance when the team is finally rolling

Always been a Derrick White fan but a little nervous to be bringing in another combo guard as a lead ballhandler who's not a great shooter or distributor

ah i see, discussion on the main thread. carry on

i like it from the pov of white just being an active guy who can create, richardson was great this year but hes pretty limited, shooting could def be better, whites not a point guard by any means but his playmaking is for sure better than richardsons, overall good move imho and farewell to romeo kinda never got off the ground maybe the spurs can give him more of a shot

gotta think brown becomes a guard with this roster

Celtics depth chart at as of 3:10 p.m.

Guards: Marcus Smart, Derrick White, Payton Pritchard
Forwards: Jayson Tatum, Jaylen Brown, Grant Williams, Aaron Nesmith
Bigs: Rob Williams, Al Horford, Daniel Theis

Open roster spots: 5(!)

— Brian Robb (@BrianTRobb) February 10, 2022

1 smart, white, pritchard
2 brown, white
3 tatum, brown, nesmith
4 horf, grant, tatum
5 rob, theis

they need another guy
