CELTICS 2010

heh

Rob Williams on Joe Mazzulla wanting him to be more aggressive with his offense: "I don't know if you guys heard (in my last game) but I caught the ball in the post and Joe yelled from the bench, 'Score the F'n ball.'"

— Brian Robb (@BrianTRobb) April 11, 2023

When he actually decides to score or shoot he isn't bad

the shooting is iffy but he def should be much more aggressive around the basket he kicks it out when he has good looks so much

i think at least some of it is a product of him never being in rhythm with regular playing time, if he were out there more he'd build up the feel for when to score vs. pass

he also just does hot potato pass a lot in like every situation actually throws the ball away a bunch when guys just arent ready quick passing is generally nice but could use tempering with a lil more feel for the rhythm of the game

yeah definitely, another thing i think would improve a lot if he could play more

big for celtics if true

I've seen enough. Jaylen Brown has made All NBA.

— Ryan Bernardoni (@dangercart) April 13, 2023

Almost all the public votes have either been voters favorable towards Jaylen's points+votes base and put him 2nd team, or done Zach's dance with the low-games forwards where only one gets selected and it's inconsistent across voters who their one is.

— Ryan Bernardoni (@dangercart) April 13, 2023

lowe was just saying he didnt see jaylen as all nba last week now hes got him on the third team lol

Brown was a tougher choice. Advanced metrics have never loved him for a combination of reasons -- shaky playmaking, blah rebounding, hazy off-ball defense, and that Boston's scoring margin typically declines when Brown plays without Tatum.

But 27 points, 7 boards, 3.5 dimes, 58% shooting on 2s, and very good on-ball defense against any type of perimeter scorer -- that's All-NBA quality, as much as anything Siakam, Randle, and Markkanen did. Brown was durable, and his team is in a different stratosphere than the Raptors, Knicks, and Jazz. He (barely) gets the nod.

creating a wind open corner three at a jog, could be a tough series for atlanta

I don't want to go full "Trae defense" here but the C's have a different element. They have zero issue using White, Smart or smalls as screeners on *and* off the ball. White screens for Brown, no switch and Trae is back. Drive forces help, kick to Horford for 3. pic.twitter.com/xslyq7YScu

eddie house just said the celtics are out there really putting a foot all the way up in the hawks

four starters playing 37+ minutes each in a first round game in which you're up 30 pts at the half seems... weird?

(and is grant williams being punished for some reason?)

ha i was just saying that in the main thread

only thing i can think of is theyve had some time off and theres a bunch of time off during the series so joe mazz decided to ride the starters idk kind of odd def

def couldve just put grant in there with rob instead of horf and given brogdon more mins

i mean it's fine there's only one round in the playoffs might as well max your guys out for it

its just one game its ok were not freaking out over this everything is super mellow

tatum is in every commercial now welcome to the bigtime jayson

felt like he was hunting 3s yesterday more than hes ever done, wild stuff for a guy who totally lost confidence in his shot last offs

If the Derrick White pull up leap is real then the Celtics are really unguardable

— Trey (@TA1297) April 16, 2023

a confident derrick white is a borderline all-star player imo, he just can never seem to sustain confidence (theory: bc he was a late bloomer, he internalized that he was always never good enough to be here at this level)

hes been increasingly great all year got player of the week even feel like hes ready for this run

the way he shoots three point line is looking very close to the basket for him right now

havin fun with the fellas

Jayson Tatum, who blocked three shots: “I was on my D. White shit tonight.”

— Jay King (@ByJayKing) April 24, 2023

lmao

lol i love rob

What did Joe Mazzulla tell Rob Williams when he put Rob back in with 5 fouls?

“He obviously told me not to foul.”

— Jared Weiss (@JaredWeissNBA) April 24, 2023

Jaylen Brown walks in right as Marcus Smart is saying it's been a while since they've seen Jaylen without the mask on.

Jaylen: "Shut up."

— Jared Weiss (@JaredWeissNBA) April 24, 2023

interesting we got the return on the two big lineup in crunch time last night after barely seeing it in the first three games or the last month of the season either

feel like you want one of rob or al on the court at all times and you dont want to play either huge minutes so you have like ten minutes a game of double bigs available, guess its good to have in your pocket, wonder what theyll do if they draw the bucks prob a bunch of grant at the 4

that could be a tough series for rob he can have trouble with physical big men and the bucks have some

yeah the bucks series last year wasn’t really a rob series

need to bring out the beefy guys

would probably be able to get it off pretty clean against this hawks d

The Boston Celtics are now one Milwaukee loss away from owning home-court advantage for the remainder of the NBA Playoffs.

— Marc D'Amico (@Marc_DAmico) April 25, 2023

+ embiid banged up, murray out for tonights games, some nice developments for the celtics

first round should really be bo5 it takes too long to get to the good series

when u get a good series like dubs kings its nice tho

I had an idea a couple years ago that in the first round if it gets to 3-0 you just call it over for that series but otherwise keep best of 7

mercy rule ya cld work

taht series would still be nice if it was about to have a deciding game

first rob gets no pt now this

Heated debate in the Celtics locker room about whether BBQ sauce is a good sandwich condiment.

Everyone agrees Grant would put something nasty on there like horseradish or ranch.

*grant

phew

fn seriously

cute
