gotta love homegrown talent building together. almost impossible to pull off and keep everyone together, anymore.

its funny cause they were really only genuinely bad for like the first two weeks of the season after that they had some injuries and blew a bunch of close games but had already started playing elite defense

... kinda rightfully so at the moment? didnt really seem like it was working and you dont want to go down the path the blazers went and wait too long to shake it up. the vibes were off, too. but they have figured it out so it looks dumb now. pairing two all-star wings/forwards who play defense is much better than two undersized guards tho, of course. much easier to build around. time lord development has been real fun to see.

naw it was definitely dumb then

isn't there a whole 'do they like each-other?' element to it with them?
― jammin on the dud (Spottie), Monday, 21 March 2022 22:36 (two years ago) link
yeah i mean i cant speak to the behind the scenes stuff cause who really knows but from a basketball standpoint you just dont trade those guys
― lag∞n, Monday, 21 March 2022 22:37 (two years ago) link
i mean they already made multiple eastern conf finals together, theyre both big two way wings aka exactly the type of players everyone wants, which is why you know the actual people who could have traded them never considered it
― lag∞n, Monday, 21 March 2022 22:38 (two years ago) link
if theres one aspect of their game thats not a perfect fit its that neither of them are great passers, tho that is trending in the right direction, but otherwise theres no logical reason they cant play together

honestly this has been covered to death locally--the short version is they are fairly different people, they have different things going on (jaylen has a tight crew that he hangs with, jayson spends a lot of time at home with deuce or does very low-key social things), but they are completely fine as colleagues and coworkers and always have been.

tatum just hit pritchard for a quarter-ending clean 3 with a nasty shot fake into a pass. he's starting to enjoy setting his teammates up. i really feel like once you're elite playmaking can be as fun as scoring if you've got guys that can make shots around you.

anyway weve known for a long time that losing close games isnt predictive of much including losing future close games, also we learned this year that shroder-smart is not a good closing backcourt lol

also it seems like the celtics….. have a pretty legit bench now that can stabilize the game? theis, white, pritchard, grant.

yeah the trades def helped take them to the next level but they were already playing really well by the time they happened

i didn't see this! was it like how players clap for fans in euro soccer? i always liked that and it has never been imported here for whatever reason.

yes exactly that. it was in denver so kind of extra worthy of acknowledgement that so many boston fans were in the house but it’s nice to see that communication back with the fans, that appreciation
