CELTICS 2010

doesnt really matter how you do it if the margin is big enough. they're not like one of those offense-only teams that sinks in the playoffs, those teams always have much smaller MOV than 7 points

their defense has been better recently too, started off the season really bad

last 10 #1 offense #4 defense

“big 3 bench whites” lmao

my big horrible sons

"the sullys"

from ice cr?m’s lips to joe isuzu’s ears: tatum resting tonight

pretty creaky shit so far imo. not sure grant has a real role with this setup apart from hang out in the corner waiting for someone to pass him the ball. on the other hand it is entertaining to see if anybody on the wizards be able to stop jb taking it to the rim. so far signs point to “no”.

Second unit looking sick as usual

they didnt seem to miss tatum too much, too bad the bench couldnt close it out tho

lmao from the athletic

He has come a long way from the player Marcus Smart remembered when Brown first got to Boston and was trying to do it all.

“A little story: When Jaylen first got here, he used to go 1-on-5, 1-on-4, just throw up some bulls—,” Smart said. “We would look at him like ‘Jaylen, what are you doing?’ And his excuse to us — or his reasoning was, ‘When everyone is telling me to slow down, the defense hears that, so I’m going to speed up.’ And we were like, ‘No, no, no, Jaylen, that doesn’t make any sense.'”

“Smart be making up stories in his own head,” Brown said. “Don’t listen to Smart, man.”

big game tonight

No changes so far to the Hornets injury report for their game at the Celtics tonight.

LaMelo Ball, Gordon Hayward, Cody Martin and Dennis Smith Jr. are all out tonight in Boston.

we were all hoping to see cody martin

Celtics should rest Brown and Tatum both.

Guys can I just say, I know it was the Wizards, but Kornet was AMAZING last night. Looked like the second coming of Kevin McHale down there.

I also think that Horford might have lost a step on defense. Not sure about that - it might be deliberate for him to be sagging, but he just doesn’t close out 3s.

In general the defense was good but then again, how in the hell did the Washington Wizards score 121??

celtics offense has been so good that they can afford to coast on d is how i break it down to an extent

kornet has been great hes a skilled player but hes just so slow that a determined team could take advantage of him if they wanted to, but he should be able to soak up some regular season minutes at the least, as i said im in favor of him and the rest of the sullys getting more burn

it's funny that they're just using him as a giant roll man, my thought (and i don't think i was alone) was that they would have him popping and shooting threes a lot more. instead he just gets dunks.

it doesnt seem like he wants to shoot threes even tho he can make them

down two starters celtics still put up a 45 point 1st quarter

hornets are putting a truly depressing squad out there

its bad lol the worst team minus their three best players

everyone talking about how the celtics have "the best offense ever" but i really need someone to disseminate the relative to league average and quarter season data

obvs a lot of this comes down to the just absolute hoisting theyre doing, 2nd in 3pt attempts and first in percentage which is a very winning combination, that will simply have to cool off horford is shooting 48% from 3 derrick white 45 which are both 10+ points over their career averages

but how much will it cool down maybe not as much as one might think, because it should be noted that the celtics are creating absolutely pristine looks, shades of 2014 spurs with constant player and ball movement excellent unselfishness and all around very wise basketball play, however befitting todays nba theyre more skilled than that spurs team, theyre playing five out but its not just a matter of everyone being able to shoot they can all put the ball on the floor and make plays too, which is pretty hard to defend, another thing theyre doing thats really good and can sometimes be hard for good ball movement teams is recognizing good opportunities and taking them, everyone is ready to go, they are very aggressive always attacking, theyre not passing up good looks

another reason their shooting might not dip that much is that their two highest volume shooters arent actually shooting well from 3, tatum and brown at both at 34%, which youd think will probably come up, also sam hauser a legit sniper is prob gonna get more minutes which will help with the nums

anyway its pretty cool to watch this nice team

curious to see if they can keep rolling against miami, they match up well against the celtics and are not really a team that you think of as being easy to beat twice in a row

lol

nice

Boston Celtics center Al Horford has agreed on a two-year, $20 million contract extension that ties him to the franchise through his 39th birthday, his agent Jason Glushon of @GlushonSM tells ESPN. pic.twitter.com/10v0FHqIIU

hes gonna be cooked before the end of that one but sure

maybe a rude thing to say given how well hes playing right now but its just what happens at age 38 or w/e

that will be a good bit less than the midlevel by the time it kicks in

yeah that seems like a reasonable sunset deal

um what happened with those techs at the end of the game yesterday??

tv guys complaining about the heat gumming up the celtics offense, they have 27 after a quarter

im enjoying eddie house added to the mix, him and scal have good chemistry

this game against the nets is dumb

tatum playing like shit

really feeling the lack of smart - and rob

claxton just eating boston alive on the glass

on the other hand it seems like celtics d showed up

maybe i shouldn’t complain, this is the kind of scoreline i like. gotta be the least number of points they’ve given up this season. but some bad decision making and some real bad rebounding

celtics are good even when theyre (bad 3 of 5 losses in ot), classic sign of a good team (have not watched the game yet)

Brown has now gone 92.5 minutes without a turnover

👀

good stuff

real nice win last night the put the clamps on in the 3rd

btw if jaylen makes all nba this year they can give him a max extension which would avoid free agency which would be nice

how many times is horf going to get covid
