CELTICS 2010

I enjoy saying 'smart car' in Bostonese.

cute graphic (celtics wouldve won if rob hadnt been injured)

some great hair/beard evolutions

😓

tillman moves his feet insanely well for a guy his size hes pressuring devin booker above the 3pt line and staying with him on the drive

celtics up to 3rd in 3pt% .1% out of second while still having by far the highest 3pt rate, nutso stuff

they are very good... for an eastern conference team

damn wow thats good stuff

i like derrick making precisely the same face in both of his pictures with very different amounts of hair

he looked so weird with the receding big hair i thought his head was an odd shape but then he cut his hair and it was actually normal

jaylens on one

Jaylen Brown before ➡️ after the All-Star break:

22.0 ➡️ 28.9 PPG
1.9 ➡️ 2.8 3PM
49.2 ➡️ 54.0 FG%
34.2 ➡️ 40.6 3P%https://t.co/4I9ij1YiCA

its coincided with him declaring repeatedly that his job is to get into the paint and put pressure on the defense, which is for sure a good idea, defenses can only pay him so much attention with all the other guys they have to worry about, and when they get in rotation thats when the perfect threes start appearing

and if they get the perfect looks they will win, thats why teams that rotate well your miamis and denvers of the league give them trouble, tho tbf rotating well is just good defense and good defense gives everyone trouble, but maybe it gives the celtics who rely on getting defenses into rotation a little more trouble

this year theyve had a better counter to teams rotating well which is to hunt the mismatches caused by rotations particularly finding zinger in the post but also theyve just mismatched hunted really well generally

celtics picked up a powerful center who can guard elite scorers on the perimeter and stay with them on drives for a couple second round picks (he is a free agent this summer)

Xavier Tillman’s isolation defense on Devin Booker here is excellent.

Great mobility and discipline to slide with him and then stay down on the fakes. pic.twitter.com/QmXxGx8A9W

Another good one vs KD. Fluidity flipping his hips allways stands out to me with X. pic.twitter.com/PwOwvbp3O4

he's a guy who passes the one elite skill test, as long as he can move like that he's a valuable player off the bench

and hes 43% from three (7 attempts)

ahh the rhode island accent

Celtics coach Joe Mazzulla was a DOG a @WVUhoops

payton "magic johnson" pritchard

haters wont let joe live

“All I know is we won’t be doing that anymore.”#Celtics head coach Joe Mazzulla's been instructed not to attempt to block any more shots during timeouts. The end of an era.pic.twitter.com/0Np7rlIF8u

lmaoooolololol

honestly

he was too competitive - they had to make a new rule

his edge was too big it was unfair to coaches who cant block shots

maybe he can try doing a luke kornet contest instead?

derrick white single handedly carrying this celtics offense so far against the bucks

lol patbev provoking pritchard into going crazy ass white boy

celtics took their foot off the gas but unfortunately for the bucks in crunch time they were left in situations where the celtics had better options than tatum v patbev

Jayson Tatum telling Derrick White to pass it to Jaylen Brown in the clutch is everything I love about this year’s Celtics.

This is a real team. They’ve all sacrificed their stats to win games this year.

before that beasley was just guarding tatum it wasnt even a switch

good way to improve their crunch time stats

The Celtics now have a 10.6 net rating when Jayson Tatum is off the court. That’s insane.

think they were negative or barely positive the last few years

def the best regular season team since the first year of the kd warriors

yeah theyre going absolutely hog wild, especially over the last couple months

if the celtics keep rolling out these half lineups eventually they will lose a game

situation is out of control people are making youtube videos about payton pritchard

Their bench would be a credible NBA team imo

The whites - Pritchard, Hauser, Kornet
Horf
Brissett as a, er, wing?

and then Tillman as your 6th man, with Queta there to spell Kornet

uhh

lol who did i forget

just that would be the worst team in the nba

hey look i can’t help it if you don’t like the boston celtics

tbf they have treated me poorly on many occasions

appreciate the way he doesnt force things while still managing to get off some technically difficult shots, hes got good judgement

Sam Hauser relocation & movement shooting

guards arent ready for tillman to stay in front of them which causes a mental breakdown

I very much enjoy watching Xavier Tillman play defense pic.twitter.com/xqsPnbh4m4

good feet as they say

watching the celtics start wildly different lineups every night is kind of fascinating, the jays at guard tonight lol

watching them give up a 30pt lead to the hawks, not as fascinating

huh
