CELTICS 2010

it increasingly seems like maybe the guys listened to udoka but didn’t feel a ton of affection for him.

yeah i never got that sense with brad either though. maybe in the IT era when he had them outsmarting more talented teams but not after

anyway, would be nice if the celtics could just play this whole season like they played the 2nd half of last season. they're clearly capable of it

so far so good

didnt realize luke kornets dad was a baller https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frank_Kornet

Boston ranks 26th overall in defensive efficiency through three games despite facing three offenses that rank in the bottom half of the league.

that seems statistically impossible unless they mean last year's rank which is fake

its true for neither this year or last

tho it is close this year but miami is 13th

offense has been real nice tho, im sure theyll remember about d eventually

That may have been posted before all the games were finished last night but they look like they are 25th rn

That said I barely know what defensive efficiency even is

its just points allowed per possession, or per 100 possessions to get a more basketball score looking number i guess

as long as were doing some early season stat enjoying jayson tatum is leading the league in scoring at 34.7ppg, congrats jayson!

his motion on the three looks quicker to me. last year it looked like he was cranking up a construction crane every time. and he’s making good reads and passing well. i think he might end up being pretty good!

only 33% from 3 so far but get ready for it... 74% from two! not bad

turn on the game halfway through the 1st celtics up by 16

lol 80% on threes

ah that did not last, im not sure why their defense is bad

playing grant at center could have something to do with it i guess

vonleh picking up 4 fouls in 5 minutes may have contributed

backup center could be an issue, like only everyone said

can they get theis back

spurs up double digits on the wolves, what is happening

lol wrong thread

the classic 39 point 1st quarter 15 point 2nd

wow that game was brutal

mazzulla reminding me of somebody, i couldn’t put my finger on it and then it came to me: don knotts

Offense is pretty easy when the defending big never leaves the paint. pic.twitter.com/1V7m6PPTj7

whats the background here? did he do something or just distancing himself from kanyes agency?

just cause of kanye being racist, yesterday he said he wasnt leaving but did "condemn" what kanye said

right he was asked about it and said he was staying with donda and gave a big wishy washy answer about how everyone’s complex and working through issues blah blah. i think he genuinely cares about the people he’s met via donda and didn’t want to throw them under the bus but that wasn’t the way to do it. glad he’s realised quickly.

got it thanks. looks like aaron donald dropped donda too.

probably a pretty easy move when donda is etherware

i'm way too invested in this team, i need to get ahold of myself

i will pray 4 u

☘️🙏☘️

this not having rob or theis situation is troubling me, last year their defensive excellence was predicated by the fact that they played big, not just starting two big men but they they were big at all the perimeter positions too, not only can they not play that way right now they dont even have a good backup center, theyre down two centers and its causing them to not be able to play defense, the offense is nice tho lol

i think finding a backup center and then starting a horf-grant front court could work, then hopefully you get rob back at some point

the good news is finding a backup center who can defend and rebound isnt the hardest thing

hold on tho

great deep dive on mazzulla, a pretty intense and driven guy who nevertheless almost became a D2 coaching lifer. best quote:

For the Mazzulla family, this is all still surreal. When Joe could finally say something about getting the job, he let his two siblings know with a simple text message the night before it was announced: “Interim coach. LOL.”
