CELTICS 2010

i was going to say, before i even saw this game, how many times have we read “tatum overcame a poor night of shooting…”

https://fivethirtyeight.com/features/derrick-white-doesnt-produce-like-nba-superstars-so-why-do-the-advanced-stats-think-he-is-one/

hes been so good

he's really one of the most annoying players to be on the other side of unless it's one of those games where he's bricking all of his threes

it’s not fair they have too many guys

any game where marcus smart & derrick white are doing marcus smart & derrick white stuff while also making three pointers is prob the most aggravating backcourt in the NBA

v happy for derrick, going from culinary school to important role player on a title contender is the fuckin dream

yeah its crazy he didnt even play d1 until senior year

a late bloomer, iirc he was hella short (i think 5'10" out of hs?) and then grew like 5 or 6 inches one year while at colorado springs

drinking that christian right water

lol perk revealing that he calls mike zarren numbers and then he never talks to numbers about numbers

good mic'd up segment with jaylen, he was really emphasizing rebounds

lmao mitchell just tried to dap up deuce tatum and deuce was not having it

malcolm westbrook

not tremendous execution down the stretch

lmao mitchell just tried to dap up deuce tatum and deuce was not having it

he got it post-game. deuce knows when it's safe to consort with the enemy, and when it is not!

yes he was nice after the game, good stuff all around

“If you were stranded on an island, which Celtics teammate would you pick to be stuck with?”

D-White: Malcolm
Rob: Malcolm
Grant: Malcolm
Blake: Payton
Luke: Payton
Payton: Luke
Hauser: Luke
Jaylen: Malcolm or Luke
Jayson: Luke (adds, “I hope nobody picked Grant”)
Smart: Grant

lmaoooo

jayson constantly fucking with grant lol

and then the celtics were worried about giving him a big deal then they traded for the big contract philly gave him then they extended him

Remember when the Hawks were worried about giving Al Horford a fifth year?

That was seven years ago. https://t.co/OGspctOwbn

kornet and blake DNP? in a double overtime game without RWIII? 🤔

yeah esp curious given that it felt like they were getting killed on loose ball fouls trying to get in there and steal boards from mitch rob or randle

you have to hand it to the celtics they love to play as much basketball as possible

cant get enough of the stuff

yiiiikes

jaylen brown played 92:30 minutes in the past 24 hours in 2 different cities

record since joe mazzulla became non-interim: 3-4

well the vibes have certainly shifted i’ll give them that

heh

The Celtics are 11-10 against the other 6 East teams with winning records...

11-3 in regulation.
0-7 in overtime.

celtics are the best clutch team in the league except in overtime they dont fuck with overtime

https://www.nba.com/stats/teams/clutch-advanced?dir=A&sort=NET_RATING

hmm

yeah that includes overtime

The Knicks have a better record than the Celtics since Dec 1

you cant hope to compete with the famous new york knicks

in the celtics defense they have lost a ton of games to injury over that stretch

and now they gotta deal w dame

they will

dwd

yes i am confident about this evening’s game. at least as confident as grant wrt free throws

they will

with nurkic and simons sidelined with injuries the blazers offense beyond dame is pretty weak. dame will get his numbers and be great, but it won't be enough unless the celtics are too exhausted to rotate.

nurk's back tonight after missing 5 weeks fwiw (not much)

he's worth some good picks and a couple of rolls

they will
