CELTICS 2010

heat had not answer for him

When the Celtics returned to Toronto to face the Raptors Jan. 15, Oshae Brissett’s grandmother again prepared the team’s entire postgame spread, a Jamaican-themed meal consisting of foods such as oxtail and curry goat. The locker room was silent, because just about everyone was eating.

BOSTON — Joe Mazzulla likes to fight. Sometimes he engages in jiu-jitsu. Other times, he battles against what he considers false narratives surrounding his Boston Celtics.

nice win last night btw, they were in grave danger of losing three in a row at home after starting 20-0, but they put together a double digi 4th quarter comeback vs a quality team so kudos to them

big matchup between the two teams i have been a life long fan of tonight when the boston celtics host the indiana pacers at 730pm eastern time on tnt, reports indicate that tyrese hailburton will make his return from a grade 1 hamstring injury

no word on zinger but they said he was close last night so maybe hell play tonight

it’s a little frightening how much better they are when zinger’s on the floor and conversely how much worse they are when he’s not

tho tbf they’ve still been getting good looks, just not knocking them down

yeah he really takes them to the next level, and yeah hes missed a lot of games, its all been very minor stuff, hopefully he will play every playoff game tho.......

wtf are all those records lamar stevens has an album

Sneak peak at the Auerbach Center schedule from Kristaps Porzingis’s story:

hell yeah thats the stuff

i had been feeling like they had been playing an absolute ton of games, nice to have it confirmed

The Celtics just completed a stretch of 15 games in 26 nights. They finished it 11-4 with a net rating of nearly 9. The schedule opens up a bit from here.

i grew up near the kowloon! that place is wild.

oh shit is that that huge ass chinese restaurant

yes--home to every grad party, reunion, gandpa's birthday, and drunken townie night on boston's north shore

i love weird local institutions like that

totally, it is an objectively terrible place but i would be sad if it closed

apparently pritchard had a similar event there this year that was cheaper lol

lol they realized they undercharged!

Baby, I just booked us a table for Valentine's dinner. It's a surprise but don't worry you're gonna love it. Wear that cute red dress I like and bring an unsigned Sam Hauser rookie card.

lmao

why do i have three basketballs dont worry your pretty little head ive thought of everything

lol

ive driven by that place a couple times recently didnt know it was an institution but makes sense. the north shore is still the mystery zone to me

see that’s the south shore to me, no idea what goes on down there.

horf 14-8-8-4-2

al looking spry out there

article in the athletic points out that tillman gives them another guy besides horf who stout enough to guard big centers your embiids of the world, which yeah thats important to have, zinger gets bodied by bam let alone a real big boys like joker, kornet doesnt have the foot speed to stay with those guys

yeah tillman's a beefy dude, enforcer bodytype

would be nice to have one more wing but i like prioritizing big man depth, keep horf and zinger as fresh as possible for the offs

bet theyll add another wing today, tho who know if they can actually get someone better that brissett with what they have to offer

in a way getting tillman should take some pressure off the wing rotation as he allows them to go big more play two big one wing two guard lineups

also rumors of getting kris dunn which would be insurance against pritchard not holding up on defense which is def something that can happen

and he jrue and derrick are all big so that could take some pressure off the wing rotation from the other end too, roll out some three guard lineups occasionally

brad does look just right in that pic to play the villain in like a 90s snl-style comedy, rob lowe wayne's world style. real estate developer, fully switchable roster developer, tomäto tomato

Tatum’s pull-up 3-point percentages have risen a bit recently, but he has still been much more accurate on spot-up attempts. He entered the All-Star break shooting 41.5 percent on zero-dribble 3-point attempts (56 for 135) and 34 percent on all other 3-point tries. The latter mark represents a substantial improvement over last season, when Tatum shot just 29.1 percent on pull-up 3-point attempts, but who knows if the recent improvement is sustainable. Pull-up 3-point percentages, based on an inherently small and volatile sample, can swing substantially from season to season.

i really need someone to go look at all of tatums pull up 3s and break them out into dribble dribble dribble side step ones and the other ones there has to be a hero out there

maybe i should ask in the next mailbag https://theathletic.com/5290939/2024/02/22/jayson-tatum-celtics-xavier-tillman-mailbag/

celtics up to 4th in 3pt% while taking the most which is pretty nice, theyre generating great looks at will, couple months ago they were down in the teens percentage wise, synergies are being achieved
