CELTICS 2010

That was sweet

we're all going to be shuffling around on walkers and jayson tatum will still be playing 36 minutes of great two-way basketball

lol scal asking why dame just doesnt do dame time stuff all game, reasonable question

i think a clue to the answer could be found in dame front-rimming a clean dunk opportunity late in the game

true

that was funny how they kept reviewing it trying to find evidence that white got a piece of it

it would be a better narrative for everyone involved if he had gotten it

i think he just decided to dunk it too late

pure manipulation baby

Now that we're all getting more familiar with Wembanyama, this has become a much more respectable belief.

this is sweet too

Jaylen Brown and Kristaps Porzingis connected 6 times over roughly a 9-minute span tonight (5 JB assists to KP, followed by one KP assist to JB).

Jaylen calls it "an automatic connection." pic.twitter.com/ibu5BCawoV

apparently jaylen and kristaps are bros now, they live in the same building and have been carpooling lol

zinger hammy

sorry left calf strain

celtics have lost the nba in season tournament

i think they're actually now in the weird situation where they have to play for point differential in their final game (vs the bulls) if they want the wild card spot. they probably need to win by at least 20 maybe 30 to be safe

man i’m on tenterhooks

great idea allowing banchero to switch onto kornet over and over, fucking grim

what is this freaky technology

lol what on earth

it makes it look like a video game

its centering the ball in the shot and fucking with the speed too, also the footage is from maybe one of those camera on wire units, the angle is pretty nice tbh would be interested in seeing more of that maybe without the other stuff

that's cool

Basically the same post-production tech they use for image stabilisation - What’s kind of amazing about today’s cameras is they’re so high res that you can center the ball like this and crop out the rest of the image and it’s still v high quality

it makes the ball look fake like not a part of the original footage, trippy

this ejection was weird, tatum complained about it to the media noting that he was not mad thought it was funny actually and didnt say any of the bad words

"Following the game, Kennedy (ref) said Tatum was asked several times to return to Boston’s bench after the initial foul was called, and that he received the technical for overtly gesturing toward the officials." Which he only did *after* he was T'd up... go NBA!

cant find any lip readers on twitter

such a weird night for both jays, the turnovers were almost comical, i think the ejection probably helped the celts win by a) firing everyone else up and b) getting him off the floor.

yeah they were sure not playing good

cant find any lip readers on twitter

never broke again jomboy

Lmao

nice win but i only caught the first quarter and i was shocked at how easily the knicks got to the rim

jaylen and jayson both recently ejected very unfairly

swipe down on the ref haha

As Brown walked to the bench upset, he made a downward swiping gesture in frustration, which prompted the ejection.

“some overemotional ref who had a bad day” lol well said jaylen

thinking about how derrick white was a mediocre to bad three point shooter until last season at which point he became good, now hes regularly drilling 3s off the dribble, pretty cool

celtics are 12-1 when their starting five plays

you dont see this too much

how soon we forget The Pritching Hour

the jumbotron operators absolutely must play a cheesy bowling alley animation for a turkey anytime that happens! huge missed opportunity

interesting the celtics goto crunch time offense has been...... zinger in the post, the thing he couldnt do that got him traded out of dallas, and now hes the most efficient big usage post player, turns takes two big steps and shoots a lil floater, gets fouled half the time, prob not something you can just spam in the offs but once teams go super switchy on d its nice to be able to post him up against a mismatch

if teams start collapsing on him in that situation and he gets better at passing it out then it’s pretty hard to defend against because you’ve got shot makers up and down the lineup

yup pretty nice sitch i do think hes good enough at passing now finding the open pass when your back is to the basket and your facing your guys is pretty easy

and basically anything is better than tatums stepback 3, last two years hes been the worst high usage pull up shooter in the nba, and i bets its all due to that stepback, walking into a 3, coming off a screen hes fine, hes an excellent catch and shoot shooter, but theres basically no excuse for taking stepback 3s, even late in the shot clock its slow developing you gotta enough time for the stepback you have enough time to drive and take a two going towards the basket, that goes for basically everyone its too hard of a shot, theres like three guys ever who shot it effectively

if i could eliminate two things the celtics do itd be tatum stepback 3s and brown initiating the offense
