CELTICS 2010

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

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

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.”

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."

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.

+ 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.

tatum postgame: "i wanna send an apology to the legend janet jackson. we were supposed to close out in boston. she had to postpone her show. i apologize for that, but we got it done today."

(i'm moving him up a spot on my mvp ballot for that.)

ha nice

grant finally got minutes and was good, wild

so happy to see grant in there, hope he keeps getting minutes

gotta think hell get more burn v philly cause of the matchups

if it's going to take fouls to get tatum some rest every once in a while, i might just take that. 19 mins!

no idea why rob was playing deep into the 4th qtr.

nice to see grant on the floor. nice to see pritchard, blowout or no blowout.

need to see joes list

Joe Mazzulla: "Momentum is such a huge part to the playoffs as the game is constantly shifting back and forth. D White’s on our list of momentum guys."

— Jared Weiss (@JaredWeissNBA) May 4, 2023

i hope i'm on there, they always called me the momentum guy

great all round game from jb

Joe Mazzulla's message to his team when they were getting in foul trouble:

"Stop fouling."

Wait, that's it?

"Yes, that’s exactly what I said."
