for real though i think cs will be energized by the finals run and ready for vengeance. injuries were big last year too
clincher is that league pass also means i can watch okc all the time if all else fails

this i don't believe. i think o'neal is desperately concerned with going out on a super high note -- preferably by beating bryant in the finals. he could have signed for more money elsewhere. not that i think he's likely to put boston over-the-top at this stage of his career, but whatevs.

shaq to solidify celtics:
BOSTON — NBA analyst David Aldridge said Wednesday that with the addition of Shaquille O'Neal, the Celtics have vastly improved their chances of leading the league in three-second lane violations for the 2010–2011 season. "Not only does Shaq's presence in the paint give his team more opportunities to turn the ball over, but the Celtics have also added an experienced big man who makes an already old team significantly older," said Aldridge, adding that O'Neal should fill a key role in terms of drastically slowing down the Celtics' offense. "Danny Ainge was looking for someone with size who can't make it down to the other end of the court, and he went out and got the best in the business." Aldridge added that while O'Neal isn't the dominant force he once was, he believes Shaq still has a thing or two to teach teams who think it's a good idea to sign him.

on paper and based on my faded memories of his great prime years, boston signing shaq sounds like a very good move. then, you read stuff like this:
SamAmicoNBA Shaq on Mo: "Guys who couldn't even play were worried about shots. Why was Mo (Williams) taking 15 shots, and I'm only taking four?"
if o'neal is complaining about his shots on a 66-win team featuring lebron james, i'm not convinced he'll all of a sudden be a good team player in boston. i imagine if he could work well anywhere, it would be there, given the quality character guys leading the team, but still . . .

KG's injury not only reason for concernBy John Hollinger
Kevin Garnett's health is obviously first and foremost on the minds of Boston Celtics fans right now. It goes without saying that a long-term injury to the superstar power forward would be devastating to the Celtics' title hopes.
But a more insidious foe also may be a factor for them during the final two-thirds of the season: the law of averages. Statistically, it will be very difficult for Boston to maintain its offensive performance, even allowing for the fact that it has been short-handed on several nights.
It's an odd conclusion to reach because Boston isn't primarily an offensive team; the Celtics are only 10th in offensive efficiency. It's their top-ranked defense that's carried the mail for them in their torrid 24-6 start.
Nonetheless, the offense perhaps bears greater scrutiny as we test whether the Celtics' play can continue throughout the season's final 52 games, because in one respect Boston has been flukishly amazing.
Let's start at the top. The Celtics are one of the league's most unusual offensive teams -- they take fewer shots than nearly everyone else, and they make a higher percentage of them than everyone else. In fact, their field goal percentage of 50.2 is more than 2 percentage points higher than that of any other team this season; what's more, it's the second-best shooting percentage of the past decade.
On the flip side, while although the Celtics have lowered the obscenely high turnover rate of seasons past, their lack of second shots remains phenomenal. Despite enviable size, Boston ranks last in offensive rebound rate. The Celtics claim only 21.0 percent of their missed shots, and as a result, only the woebegone Charlotte Bobcats attempt fewer shots per possessions. (I define "shots" here to include free throw attempts.)
That's just par for the course so far; Boston was last in the NBA in shots per possession last season.
But the other part of the equation is that Boston is not only first in overall shooting percentage, as noted, but also first in true shooting percentage at 57.3, beating out even the likes of Phoenix and New York, both of which are known for their propensity to launch 3-pointers (which improve their true shooting percentage).
Delve a little deeper, and it gets more surprising. Boston doesn't get a huge bump from 3-pointers or free throws; the Celtics just are amazingly accurate inside the arc. The Celtics' 52.9 percent shooting on 2-pointers dwarfs the league average of 48.2 percent and is actually a major improvement on their league-leading performance of last season.
In 2009-10, despite what was largely seen as a disappointing regular season, Boston finished 3.1 percentage points ahead of the league average in 2-point shooting. This season's performance, at 4.7 points ahead, is an even greater outlier.
If you're wondering, that continued even without Garnett on Wednesday night: Boston hit 52.8 percent of its 2s against the Pistons -- but lost to Detroit because it couldn't miss.
(By the way, for those of you Celtics fans bewildered by Tracy McGrady's performance Wednesday night, he's been showing signs of re-emergence lately. In some games, like the one Wednesday night or a week ago against Toronto, he's been brilliant, almost like the T-Mac of old. In others, as against Charlotte, he's seemed dead-legged. Methinks the knees aren't there for him every night, but when they are, he can still bring it.)
OK, so they make a lot of 2s. What's the big deal?
It's this: Two-point field goal percentage is one of the flukiest stats in basketball. One can see huge random variances in this stat from month to month and even from year to year, and they aren't necessarily meaningful.
Applying it to Boston's case, it's easy to be suspicious of its ability to keep shooting so well. Boston's top 2-point shooter from last season, Kendrick Perkins, hasn't played a game this season, yet the Celtics have dramatically increased their advantage on the rest of the league in this category. Although Shaquille O'Neal's addition has been very helpful in this area, Perkins actually shot better on 2s than Shaq did last season. Now O'Neal has upped his percentage to career-high levels in green.
He's not the only one. Paul Pierce, Glen Davis, Nate Robinson, Kevin Garnett and Rajon Rondo all have increased their 2-point percentages from last season, which is very odd to see this early in the season. Leaguewide, shooting percentages normally gently rise as the season goes on, which means most players will be slightly below their career norms in late December. But of the Celtics' seven most frequent shooters, only Ray Allen is making 2s at a lower clip than last season.
The two most suspect marks are those of Pierce and Davis. They're second and third on the team, respectively, in 2-point attempts, and both are converting at rates that blow away their career bests. Pierce has made half his 2-point shots in a season just once, when he made 50.3 percent in 2005-06. For his career he's made 47.2 percent of his 2-point attempts. But this season, at age 33, he's at 53.2 percent.
Similarly, Davis entered the season a 45.3 percent career marksman on 2s, and he's made 48.3 percent so far this season. You can go right on down the line with the other Boston regulars, but those two are the greatest extremes.
Breaking it down on a team level, what's particularly striking is how much more often the Celtics convert at the rim. Boston is making 69.3 percent of its shots there, according to Hoopdata.com. Last season, it made only 64.4 percent.
It's not just that Boston hasn't been at 69 percent before, it's that nobody else has, either. No team has made more than 67 percent at the rim in the past five seasons. In fact, the only teams to top 65 percent are last season's, Cleveland Cavaliers and the Phoenix Suns in the four previous seasons. Those teams, obviously, had historically great finishers in LeBron James and Amare Stoudemire. The Celtics do not, which makes me suspicious of their ability to end up in the high 60s.
Maybe I'm wrong. Perhaps it's no fluke and there's a good reason the Celtics are defying the long-term trends. Nonetheless, trying to find such a reason seems to me a grasp for straws. One might argue it's the brilliant passing of Rondo, but he was on the team last season, and besides, he missed several games this season. One might say it's O'Neal, except he's missed a ton of time, too. One could argue that subtracting Rasheed Wallace helps, except he didn't shoot that many 2s last season and didn't shoot them that badly (51.1 percent). And one might say that the veteran Celtics are simply taking advantage of their experience, except that older players typically see their 2-point percentage decline.
So we're left to conclude that Boston is unlikely to keep shooting 2s so phenomenally. Which takes us to the next question: How great an impact are we talking about?
If, in its final 52 games, Boston shoots something more like 64 percent at the rim instead of 69 percent, that alone will subtract about 1.25 made shots a game, or 2.5 points. The Celtics will get back a few baskets on second shots, but since their offensive rebound rate is so poor, they'll end up with only about 0.3 points off those misses.
So we end up knocking 2.2 points a game off their offensive output. The good news is that the Celtics are still a heck of a team without those points. Right now they outscore opponents by 8.2 points per game, and dropping to 6.0 a game still would leave them as the second-best team in the East.
Where it becomes more interesting is a vis-à-vis the Miami Heat and the race for home-court advantage in the East.
Boston still leads Miami by three games in the loss column and has a good chance of owning the tiebreaker thanks to two early-season victories over the Heat. But the current playoff odds, which are based on past performance and do not factor in a potential decline in the Celtics' 2-point shooting, see the teams tying with 61 victories each. If Boston can't keep up its phenomenal short-range shooting percentage, it's going to fall short of that mark and likely would end up costing the Celtics home-court advantage.
All of that pales, of course, in comparison to the worries over Garnett's calf this morning. But the hot shooting of the C's is a subplot that warrants tracking as the season goes on. Boston is on pace to post historically great 2-point shooting results, particularly from short range, and that's been a major factor in its blistering start. But history tells us not to trust it.

Boston Celtics president of basketball operations Danny Ainge said Thursday afternoon an MRI confirmed Kevin Garnett's injury is a strained right calf muscle and not related to his surgically repaired knee.
Ainge, speaking on Boston sports radio station WEEI, estimated Garnett would miss two weeks with the injury.
"It's actually the muscle just off the side of the leg below the knee," Ainge explained. "It's not anything to do with his knee, which is great news. He may be out for a couple of weeks, at the most. ... I think that's on the conservative side."

Boston trades Kendrick Perkins and Nate Robinson to Oklahoma City for Jeff Green and Nenad Krstic.
• View deal in ESPN's Trade Machine
Oklahoma City Thunder: BThe Thunder finally took some chips off their huge stack and threw them into the center of the table, dealing two starters to upgrade their interior defense and promote Serge Ibaka. I wrote about the transformation more extensively earlier, but the risk is that Perkins may fly the coop as a free agent. Even then Oklahoma City will be partially covered because it will have cap space, but if so it loses a valuable draft pick belonging to the Clippers for just half a season of Perkins. Robinson is more a minus than a plus in this deal, as he'll cost more than $4 million next season and is unlikely to see more than spot duty as a fifth guard.
Boston Celtics: BEveryone in Beantown is puzzled by this deal, but the Celtics desperately needed a wing and had a surplus of centers. Obviously, dealing Perkins was a risk, and getting the Clippers draft pick is of questionable value for a team trying to win a title right now. I wrote more about the move here, but suffice it to say I can understand the logic as long as the Celtics think it's the Miami Heat and San Antonio Spurs, not the Orlando Magic and Los Angeles Lakers, who present the greatest threats to their title hopes this season.Thunder bulk up with Mohammed
Boston trades Semih Erden and Luke Harangody to Cleveland for a second-round pick.
• View this deal in the ESPN Trade Machine
Cleveland Cavaliers: BI don't think Erden is much of a player, but I can at least understand the Cavs' mentality here: They would use a second-round pick this summer to get a true center to back up Anderson Varejao anyway. Paying Harangody next season is likely just the price of it -- although, he may be competent enough to pass as a fourth or fifth big man. Cleveland also had to waive Leon Powe to clear a roster spot for the trade.
Boston Celtics: C+Trading Erden is an odd response for a team with a rash of frontcourt injuries that hopes to contend right away. Obviously, Boston hopes to use the roster spots on waived or bought-out veterans, such as Golden State's Troy Murphy, but they already created one by shipping Marquis Daniels to Sacramento. A second-round pick from Cleveland has some value -- actually more value than Erden, I would argue -- but the time horizon here is the problem. Boston's window is right now.Kings take on injured Daniels
Boston trades Marquis Daniels to Sacramento for a protected 2017 second-round pick and cash considerations.
Sacramento Kings: B+This was a no-brainer. As ESPN.com's Marc Stein reported, the Kings were under the league's salary floor, which means having Boston pay them to take Daniels cost them less than nothing -- they were going to pay out extra money to players otherwise; instead, Boston is doing it. It's possible they can also parlay a small asset from a sign-and-trade with Daniels this summer, but this was mainly a money deal.
Boston Celtics: B+A nice way to wriggle out of some luxury-tax money, as the Celtics essentially pay Sacramento to take Daniels, who was unlikely to play the rest of this season because of a spinal injury. That's the NBA for you -- Boston paid Sacramento to take Daniels, but both teams profited from it thanks to the cap and luxury tax rules.

everyone is talking about the weight loss which is a good improvement, but the jump looks like he changed it a lot and it looks like a realistic nba shot, he used to bring the ball too far back and his whole form just seemed really uncoordinated, it looks fluid now and hes cocking the ball further forward

the victory of the set shot over the two motion jumper is an under appreciated nba trend, we went from kobe jumping as high as he cld then flinging the ball with his arms to steph jumping like 4 inches and shooting in one quick motion

Last summer’s trade request from Kyrie Irving came out of the blue for a lot of fans, and confused people — why would he want to leave a team that had been to three consecutive Finals and has the best player on the planet in LeBron James? Was his ego so big he had to do it his way? That’s not how Irving saw it, he saw a team he thought no longer wanted him.
The Cavaliers explored trading Irving before he ever made his request, reports ESPN’s Jackie MacMullan, who had a lengthy interview with Irving about the trade that sent him to Boston

idk a dude that has anger issues cuts his hand on a picture frame bad enough to sit him for 2-3 weeks? doesnt add up. need more details.
― fgti spinner (Spottie), Monday, 29 January 2018 22:53 (six years ago) link
i agree the swiping part is sus cause its obvs that you need to frame it that way to account for a wound on the palm or inside of fingers which is where a defensive wound wld be, where it wld be on the outside of the hand if it were from punching, tho its not out of the question for someone to do some sort of open handed strike at a picture and break the glass
i feel like we need a timeline to asses if it was realistic for her to be in the room when it happened
― lag∞n, Monday, 29 January 2018 22:58 (six years ago) link
tho i dont think missing 2-3 weeks is necessarily indicative of a really bad cut, like it cld just be a few stitches if it were to a part of yr hand that was key to playing basketball/cld open up again with too much stress
― lag∞n, Monday, 29 January 2018 23:02 (six years ago) link

He’s a good change of pace type of player at the right price. If you just want to dump him the ball like 7-8 possessions in a row if things are jammed up, you could do a lot worse. Evans is above average and does a lot of things well if healthy which has always been his biggest hurdle.

monroe seems like the kind of player they dislike but i'd def take him with that injury exception. he seems like a pain to play against when he's motivated.

they dont have the contracts to do it tho unless they want to trade horford which i suspect they dont, the solution is to sign someone to a short big contract to act as filler, but they dont really have anyone that wld be deserving of that contract who is up for a deal, what they cld do is trade for a player whos coming off their rookie deal like say julius randle and give them like a $15m a/year two year deal with a team option third or some shit, but then that cld fuck up their luxury tax situation, idk its complicated

minutia re tyreke
Boston would only have non-bird rights if they acquired him, meaning they would only be able to offer to him the mid-level exception in free agency next season since they are well over the cap. That is assuming they want to retain him, which would possibly mean letting Marcus Smart walk to minimize the luxury tax hit as the team eyes Terry Rozier’s free agency next summer.

Cuz right now it’s def a lot more contested midrange Marcus Morris than I ever wanted to see when kyrie is out (tho he swished a three the second I turned on the game against the lol Knicks the other night)

The only scenario that makes any sense to me at all for Hayward to come back during the playoffs would be inserting him briefly into a home game in the second quarter, for the morale boost and to energize the crowd. Regular minutes beyond 5, up to 8 tops, would be totally implausible, unless they've been keeping him back unnecessarily, which seems totally implausible to me, too.

Terry Rozier is called “Biological Son” (亲儿子) or “The Crown Prince” (太子) because Celtics GM Danny Ainge is so reluctant to trade him that he must be Ainge’s biological son or the heir to his kingdom. This is even funnier than it sounds because these same nicknames had been used previously for Austin Rivers, who of course is Doc Rivers’ actual biological son. So in other words people are saying that Rozier is Danny Ainge’s Austin Rivers.

The Moses SchemeBy diverting the Charles River, previously separated parts of the campus are reconnected by a band of infrastructure, academic space and parks. In a single move, Harvard's desire for contiguity and Allston's desire for riverfront access are realized. Furthermore, Harvard gets land at the heart of its campus, Cambridge gets new commercial space and Allston gains exposure and visibility. At the metropolitan scale, existing districts are extended and new ones are created.

if he can do what he did to james harden in december exactly once a year for the next four years, i figure that's worth between $50 and $60 million right there. basically $6 to $8 million per harden offensive foul. that's what he should get paid.

celtics roster is funny their starting 5 are all kinda deliberate skill players and the bench is all rowdy bois, some sort of mix is maybe best, brad has played like every possible lineup so far, tho the 1st units ball movement is ridiculous theyre really seeking good shots, which hasnt worked exactly great so far lots of passed up open 3s and so forth but i think once they get their rhythm down theyll be very tough to deal with, also the bench is clearly gonna get tons of minutes the smart-rozier pairing are terrorists on D and morris is playing out of his mind has basically cleaned up all of the things that were driving people crazy last year baynes is solid etc

a second unit featuring jaylen, terry, gordon and aron should be able to destroy most teams' first units. then again, so should the actual current first unit. somewhere between now and the 2020 playoffs someone's going to figure out how to make all these pieces fit together.

feel doing this is a start since it gives both units more of a clear offensive hierarchy, which the lack of was an obvs problem, like kyrie is #1 jayson and morris are 2a & 2b, and and al and smart are more facilitators/scorers in the flow type guys
― lag∞n, Wednesday, 28 November 2018 20:11 (five years ago) link
then with the second unit jaylen and gordon dont have to worry so much about finding their spots they can just go out there and "be aggressive"
― lag∞n, Wednesday, 28 November 2018 20:12 (five years ago) link
this can also be boiled down to simply letting the best 5 guys play together. beyond positional fit they are just having the best seasons so far.
― call all destroyer, Wednesday, 28 November 2018 20:13 (five years ago) link
yeah def, and finishing lineups can be situational, and if jaylen and gordon really start lighting it up obvs theres room to give them more minutes/put them back in starting
― lag∞n, Wednesday, 28 November 2018 20:14 (five years ago) link
also theres just a temperament/style of play thing thing, think i mentioned this before, where the starting lineup was all deliberate heady skill guys and the bench unit was emotional swarming goons, and maybe its better to mix that up

btw noticed in the kyrie/smart configuration theyre using kyrie off the ball a bunch to get him looks on the move going toward the basket and it seems promising, smart is low key an excellent distributor which i dont really understand since teams dont actually have to guard him, but i guess its just they do guard him anyway, and tbf he can kinda hit an open shot/take an open lane if u give it to him and hes always going to be opportunistic so he doesnt make finding the right balance of guarding him and not guarding him easy
i mean, they're going to finish november having beat exactly two teams with winning records in the entire month. i'm not ready to admit they've done anything remotely resembling turning their season around yet.
― fact checking cuz, Wednesday, 28 November 2018 21:01 (five years ago) link
tho tbf the knicks game does fit a pattern of them just getting wrecked by attacking guards even ones as lowly as trey burke, hopefully inserting smart into the starting5 will help with this

as i have said before a huge amount of the celtics struggles can be traced to taking bad 2-point shots which i think is pretty easy to correct. 2 of brown/rozier/hayward should end up playing better in a clarified role though i'm really starting to doubt that hayward ends up being a positive player this season.

i got something to say and some ppl might not like it but kyrie is a treat, he is playing so good right now, like he continuously hits impossible shots while looking like hes not trying, hes playing slow out there, its getting to the type of situation where youre kind of surprised when he misses a 27ft pull up, also he used to be a savant with the ball in his hands but now hes rounding into a all around genius, you can see him applying his basketball IQ to the non ball handling parts of the game and its working, hes playing good D all in the passing lanes sniffing out plays making good cuts tracking down wayward rebounds etc, hes on one i recommend checking him out

gaem notes:
marcus smart is doing special stuff recommend checking him out an utterly disruptive defender and just plays w his head on a swivel always in the game doin stuff and has eliminated a lot of the bad things
timelord is a genuine phenom doesnt really have any idea whats going on out there but will earn minutes this season even once theres a healthy rotation of 3 very playable guys in front of him just on talent, pretty obvs an exceptional shot blocker and prob elite rebounder, needs to "figure it out" but if he does will be an nba man for a long time
c's prob didnt deserve to win tonight got a ton of soft calls down the stretch, wall was killing them then went down like his achilles exploded then was back in the game next stoppage lol prob a complaint re the refs and maybe life in general
the bad celtics offense was in the house tonight its really true that if the ball doesnt hit the paint they get some ok looks that they just cant hit
underreported aspect of brother brad switching up the offense hes leaving guys in for really long stretches especially in the 1st half like kyries played the 1st 11mins of the game then sat for seven then played the last 6
also really emphasizing having multiple playmakers in at the same time like wanamaker got extended burn tonight and they went w kyrie-smart-rozier down the stretch, partially that was cause they were missing horf-brown-hayward tonight but still
i like wave papi hes a young knucklehead but maybe rounding into one of those type of guys every team wants, also they did a scoreboard segment with him and he predicted the next fashion trends are man purses and short shorts

the thing that really strikes me about rob williams is how quick his jumps are; i was comparing to some mildly critical wendell carter vids that were going around and carter takes for-f'n-ever to get in the air but rob can just spring up whenever he wants. that's how he got those sick blocks on a.d., he can actually wait to get a sense of the move before jumping and still be there on time.

kyrie hating colonialism
The holiday celebrated as Thanksgiving in the US was proclaimed by Abe Lincoln after the battle of Gettysburg. All that hoo-hah about pilgrims is a later overlay on this undisputed fact, probably rooted in the desire to placate Jim Crow southerners by divorcing that holiday from the treasonable Civil War they started and lost.

"Moving horizontally, I'm definitely starting to feel like I felt a couple years ago," said Hayward, "but vertically I'm still not as confident as I want to be, and I think some of that is a deterrent when I go to the rim." In his final season with the Jazz, Hayward was averaging 9.2 drives per game while connecting on 67% of those attempts. However, this year that number has dipped to just 5.3 and he's connected on a subpar 57% of those looks.

Tatum and Brown are very young but they're playoff tested, ready to make a run right now. league is wide open next year, if Kawhi leaves and the Bucks miss out on re-signing some of their guys I think a Boston team with Kemba and an Adams type might actually be the favorite, as much as it pains me to say.
man, I'm looking at their hoopshype page right now though and they definitely need a big more than a scorer. they have like zero even decent bigs under contract for next season.

It was sort of a favor. He opted in because it looked like they were bringing back/improving the team to contend. When Ainge and co had to switch to retooling he asked for a trade. It sounds like he would have opted out if he knew about Kyrie and Al going elsewhere.

the base year compensation rules make it next to impossible to do a sign and trade with kemba.

― call all destroyer, Thursday, 27 June 2019 14:15 (four years ago) link
getting kemba would be a pretty impressive pivot for the celtics given that he's the best free agent they reasonably have a shot at. i think you can go back and forth on how good he *actually* is but he's the type of guy that has thrived on brad stevens teams, he won't need to do as much as he did in charlotte, he's going to be a huge hit with the city, etc. etc.
they still have $5m bucks or so to get a center which should be plenty.

xp i really dont think they would, also cutting bait on jaylen seems wicked unwise
i don't think they would (or should) but if they feel they can't keep both turner and sabonis then they could make sabonis the starting 5, not pay bogdanovic who is older and replace him with brown, pay thad young for defense, and set up the team that way. it's a path that makes some sense but i think they will try to play sabonis and turner together until they realize it doesn't work.

yep. Very intrigued by the Brown for Turner idea. Seems like Turner almost is what he is at this point, while Brown still growing into something, but what Turner is is pretty good and we need it. Just listened to Windy on Lowe's podcast yesterday though and both see Pacers as committed to making Sabonis/Turner work, for reasons unknown.

― call all destroyer, Saturday, 29 June 2019 03:05 (four years ago) link

― J0rdan S., Saturday, 29 June 2019 03:07 (four years ago) link
the one thing i will give both stevens & ainge a pass on is the gordon hayward stuff.... the players should've understood that minutes needed to be invested in hayward simply so that he could get used to playing in the NBA again and that this year in all likelihood was going to be a struggle for him
― J0rdan S., Saturday, 29 June 2019 03:09 (four years ago) link
yeah to me the biggest controllable thing that just didn't work was the handling of hayward. i don't know who to blame for that tbh. if they did a consolidation trade to get guys more shots or whatever hayward would still have been there playing like shit.
they thought they had a switchable monster with 4 two-way wings and if everyone played reasonably well that would have been correct.

I can see how this would effectively prevent him from becoming a star player, but lots of people are lukewarm about their jobs, yet deliver adequate results to justify their employment and their earnings. If Tacko were to accept a contract, are you suggesting he would be happy to take the money, play like ass, and wash out of the league?

After the biggest of his several big dunks against the San Antonio Spurs on Saturday, an alley-oop from Javonte Green in the second half, Robert Williams flexed his long arms and walked into the basket stanchion -- staring straight ahead as if he had something to say to the hoop. He stood there for a minute by himself, seemingly examining the padding.What did he say?“Like, ‘ahh,’” Williams said, imitating a scream (without the volume), then he repeated it a little longer. “'Ahhhhhhhh.'”

fwiw im sure were about to have a media deluge of are the celtics for real and speaking as someone who has watched most of the games i can confidently say theyre not nearly as good as their record/point differential wld suggest, pretty much the only game they looked really good was vs the spurs, this is mostly due to their bench being trash which is now exacerbated by hayward being out, theyre prob about to take some not great losses, their starting 5 is legit tho (wld be even more so w a starting quality center).......

i agree with those tiers, i am interested to see if grant could break into the top tier once he gets a little more acclimated.
as far as how good they are i think there's indicators in both directions--brad has been trying a *lot* of combinations to get bench minutes and i expect one or two of them will settle in as decent units. on the other hand kemba's shooting is going to cool off and i'm getting increasingly worried that tatum's offense isn't going to approach what we hoped.
a top-2 seed in the east is much more in play than i expected since neither the sixers or bucks look super amazing.

― call all destroyer, Tuesday, November 12, 2019 1:06 PM (seventeen minutes ago) bookmarkflaglink
his path to offensive stardom prob goes through becoming an elite shooter ie being able to hit all those crossover into a stepback type shots which hes still on the trajectory for tho obvs its one of the hardest things to do so who knows, then from there he can pick his spots on drives but yeah he doesnt seem like he has star level finishing ability/feel/creativity around the basket, hes been trying to work in a floater this year and it looks just awful so far, hes already great in the open court so hes got that going for him
the good underreported news on him is hes also already a great defender and only getting better, so who knows maybe he ends up more of a two way player second banana on offense wldnt be the end of the world
― lag∞n, Tuesday, 12 November 2019 18:29 (four years ago) link
yeah, i think the immediate thing for this season is units that are just like tatum plus bench guys and if those are playable at all on offense. if jaylen's driving/slashing game keeps looking good he might be the better offensive lead guy on a bench unit while gordo is out.

they were playing no defense at all and i'm guessing he wanted them to feel the pressure a bit but they're starting a 5 game west coast trip and as a fan i was like let's just bank the damn win.

whatd he say abt kyrie
― lag∞n, Tuesday, 26 November 2019 01:48 (four years ago) link
basically that kyrie was one of a lot of guys on last year's team that had their own agendas and shit going on and the team suffered for it. also that the first loss of the milwaukee series sealed it for him that major changes were going to be coming to the team (response to question when did he know that kyrie was gone).
― call all destroyer, Tuesday, 26 November 2019 01:57 (four years ago) link

After his second straight jumper from deep in the corner, Jaylen Brown spun to blow a kiss in the direction of the Miami Heat bench. Brown said he meant the gesture for good friend Kelly Olynyk, but was not sure if the former Celtics big man saw it.
“He felt it though,” Brown laughed. “Kelly’s my guy. K-Doggy. One of Boston’s finest. Anytime I get to show him some love, I try to. He said I was going to miss, so I sent that kiss over to him.”

yeah when he dribbles its no bueno, i guess his role is defensive stopper like when u really need another body to throw at giannis or whatever, and the fact that hes hitting 3s makes it more tenable, at the beginning of this year he still looked super tentative shooting then one game he just started letting it fly and looked so much better, someone got to him

Truth be told, Smart wasn’t always a robe guy.

"It’s comfy, it’s easy to put on. You're trying to look for stuff in your closet, you’re like, ‘You know what, just throw a robe on, some sweatpants, and you’re ready to go.’”

45% on stepbacks
NEW: Jayson Tatum shot 27 percent on step-back 3-pointers last year. He’s up to 45 percent this season.Here’s how Tatum, with help from Drew Hanlen, turned step-back triples into a major weapon.https://t.co/dkFFgSHMNZ pic.twitter.com/BBdJObC04q— Tom Westerholm (@Tom_NBA) January 13, 2020
― lag∞n, Monday, 13 January 2020 18:12 (four years ago) link
thats what he needs to do to be an elite scorer
that and
Larranaga said he pushes Tatum to relocate around the perimeter, to take advantage of momentary defensive slippages that can open up opportunities from deep.
“Being able to hit a three without penetrating the defensive shell is important, but it also makes it really important to be active off the ball and be really great at using off-ball screens, running in transition,” Larranga said. “That’s something I try to share with Jay and really push him: Hey, every time he runs in transition, something good is going to happen, whether he has the ball or doesn’t have the ball.”
“A guy like him that’s so talented relies on having the ball in his hands, and he does wonders,” Hanlen said. “But as he matures and gets older, he’ll let the game come to him more by putting himself in advantageous spots and taking advantage of easy scoring opportunities.”

In today's Herald:Gordon Hayward's contract plan for June could alter Celtics' trade deadline moves -- only he hasn't thought about it. "I want to win a championship here... that's what my goal is. That's what my focus is."Also, Marcus wants status quo.https://t.co/9LmAjQxtAq— Steve Bulpett (@SteveBHoop) February 3, 2020
“As a player, I’ve never really bought into any of it,” Hayward told the Herald. “Like, I don’t read anything, I don’t know anything. It’s not weird for me.”
“I haven’t thought about it at all,” he said. “I haven’t thought about it at all.”
“I’ve never done that. When I was a restricted free agent, I didn’t think about it. Then when I was a free agent, I honestly didn’t think about it."

tbc the topic was players from playoff teams you would want for the next 4 months only....tatum on an epic heater playing awesome help defense every night is very desirable in that capacity. luka rules of course but not on defense and i wouldn't be shocked if his first playoffs is a little shaky.

I was too young to personally experience the 80s Celtics but I was at the playoff game in 02 when the Pierce/Antoine Celts had a massive 4th Q comeback against the JKidd Nets (largest ever at the time and maybe still?). In the final minutes of the game, the chants of "Beat LA" were electric. I don't think most of the crowd expected that that team was actually going to the finals to face LA. In other words, hatred of the Lakers is like one of the most integral parts of Celtics fandom, I love it.

haha. the thing that surprised me in that story, though, is the implication that when they swapped picks w/the sixers, exactly three days before the draft, the celtics still hadn't made up their mind about tatum.
― fact checking cuz, Sunday, 16 August 2020 19:21 (three years ago) link
I didn’t assume that, sounds like he had already worked out for them so it might’ve just been to check off a few final boxes or something. Obv the decision to draft Tatum paid off, but even with hindsight I still mostly read that trade as Ainge being on some clairvoyant shit about Fultz
― Lavator Shemmelpennick, Sunday, 16 August 2020 20:25 (three years ago) link
I.e. they may not have decided fully on Tatum but had decided they wanted to trade the pick. I do remember a lot of the buzz in those few days after the pick was traded was about them taking Josh Jackson lol. Glad things didn’t go that way!
― Lavator Shemmelpennick, Sunday, 16 August 2020 20:29 (three years ago) link
yeah, i got curious about this so i'm reading some contemporary accounts, and the party line out of the celtics was that they didn't see much difference between fultz, ball, tatum, and jackson as far as draft board rankings go. seems like they were comfortable deciding between tatum and jackson following the trade.

Can the Celtics take advantage of Toronto’s half-court offense?Even when Kyle Lowry (sprained ankle) is right, the Raptors can have issues scoring. They finished the regular season 13th in offensive efficiency. In the half court they were even worse, ranking 16th overall, according to Cleaning the Glass. To their credit, they play like they know their limitations well. They forced more turnovers than any other playoff qualifier. They lived in transition throughout the regular season. They’re a smart, deep bunch.
Over four regular-season games, the Celtics defense held Toronto to 102.9 points per 100 possessions — a mark that would have ranked dead last in the league over the full season. Patrick McCaw started two of those games, so it wasn’t like the Raptors were always at full strength. Still, it’s fair to wonder where their points will come from when the games slow down. Pascal Siakam has been inefficient in the bubble; he has barely cracked the 50 percent true shooting mark over Toronto’s 11 games in Orlando. The Raptors need him to be able to create shots, especially late in games. For all the talk about the minimal offense of Hayward’s replacements, the Celtics still have no shortage of wings who can guard. That should be the most entertaining part of this series: Each side is loaded with tough, athletic perimeter players. Buckets won’t come easy.

With six minutes to go in the 4th, the Celtics are up 19 points. Over the next five minutes, the Heat go on a 21-5 run and the Celtics let the lead go to 5 in the last minute behind brown catching robinson in the face with an elbow for a flagrant. Marcus righted the ship at the end there but the Heat should never have gotten that close.

no, i's agree with that but i do remember some bad choices right at the end there... i'd have to look at the play-by-play again to clarify.driving aggressively seemed to work; not sure if they caught miami off guard or if they've found the right tactic.
― Fuck the NRA (ulysses), Monday, 21 September 2020 15:24 (three years ago) link
they were running clock which they maybe started a lil early but it was working, then the flagrant made it dicey (fwiw i feel like when a guy plays defense with his face it should maybe not be a flagrant), if they wanted to keep their foot on the gas it wouldve produced a ton more possessions down the stretch which obvs increases variance, you run clock to reduce that, either approach can go wrong tho theres no 100% win and its very easy to fault the strategy when it does, when really usually the problem is often the execution, or just the other team playing really well
― lag∞n, Monday, 21 September 2020 15:40 (three years ago) link

i didn't catch this:
The Celtics have played 12 consecutive games in these playoffs without the home team winning any of them. The streak included the last two games of Boston’s first-round sweep of Philadelphia, every game of the Celtics’ seven-round epic with Toronto in the second round and the first three games of the Eastern Conference finals against Miami. Boston’s second-round matchup with Toronto was the first in more than 600 best-of-seven series in N.B.A. playoff history in which the home team failed to win a single game.

Not in any conventional sense of 'home team', but the NBA designates a home team for each game in the bubble and does the 'virtual fan' section via webcams, and pipes in appropriate crowd noises, music, and scoreboard messages to simulate a home game. but it's bunk.

https://www.nbcsports.com/boston/celtics/fouls-3-point-shooting-daniel-theis-has-room-grow-celtics
Theis racked up 219 personal fouls, the eighth-highest total in the entire league. That’s 5.5 fouls per 36 minutes of play, making him a threat to foul out each time he touched the floor. And he did foul out four times in the postseason, including once in 21 minutes, 34 seconds of court time during Boston’s season-ending loss to Miami.
― Fuck the NRA (ulysses), Wednesday, 14 October 2020 17:06 (three years ago) link
theis definitely gets officiated like he's a nobody at times, but i think a lot of is just that as an undersized starting center there are still a bunch of matchups around the league that are going to result in very long nights. usually when i see him commit fouls i would call "bad" it's not a result of being too weak but more being a step too late on the contest. they ask him to do a lot in a thankless role on both ends of the court and to his credit he's more than happy to.
even if he were to cut down his foul rate, ideally he's not a guy you're playing more than like 28 minutes a night. i think they need to look at backup center again this offseason and find one more guy who is solid defensively in most matchups and can eat up some minutes.

turner and jeremy lamb basically gets you there and lamb would be redundant if they were getting hayward. the pacers should probably make boston take back tj leaf or someone to balance the money even more.
i just don't really know why the pacers would do it.

if they got a team with massive cap space to absorb lamb's contract and take one of boston's 3 1st rounders, turner to boston and hayward to indy could still work

― lag∞n, Friday, 23 October 2020 18:21 (three years ago) link
obvs im a well knows proponent of turner to bos but its not like hes a superstar, he cld def be played off the floor in a playoff series just by making him guard the perimeter, his 3pt shot is slow which means it can prob be mostly shut down via concerted close outs, also he doesnt rebound, but still i do think he wld be nasty on the c's and him + theis would give them a very good flexible center rotation
― lag∞n, Friday, 23 October 2020 18:25 (three years ago) link
i think it makes sense for both teams and the celtics have draft picks/young guys they can sweeten the pot with, the thing that wld give me pause were i the pacers is haywards recent injury history, and theyd prob need some sort of agreement on a new contract since hes in his last season, not sure if a sign and trade wld work here or what

ahem, its closer to 18/7/4 on 50/38/86 shooting splits
i think those numbers go up in a higher usage situation like indiana where he'd be the #1 wing as opposed to the #3. and that $34M is a lot, but it's also off the books in one year.
― cointelamateur (m bison), Saturday, 24 October 2020 03:20 (three years ago) link
well if indiana were doing this they'd have to be getting a sense of what gordon's extension will be, obviously he's in no position to stay at $34M but my guess is it would be 3 years north of 20 which is a little scary imo.
i'll just put my bias out there, hayward's celtics career was insanely snakebit but i have watched him play basketball for the past two seasons and i don't expect him to be all that good going forward.

listened to that pod they said something that i hadn't really thought about that 34M next year isn't really worth that much, a lot of it will be in escrow and probably won't get paid out due to revenue crunch, whereas a longer contract that pays out money 2 or 3 years from now is a lot more likely to be worth the stated value.

fwiw it would somewhat complicated for them to trade for him too cause although he would exactly fit into the trade exemption well ill just c&p this
When the Celtics use the full mid-level exception on Monday to formally sign Tristan Thompson to a two-year, $19 million deal, they will invoke the hard cap. That means they cannot complete transactions that would put them above the tax apron at $139 million. Not including Javonte Green’s non-guaranteed $1.5 million, the Celtics are about $22 million under the hard cap. So to use the full $28.5 million trade exception, they would need to include an additional chunk of salary to ensure they stay below that hard cap.
and the celtics dont have any guys besides theis making $5m a year so youd have to do something like

bill walton was a fantastic top-tier hoops player and is a deeply weird person.
― Respectfully Yours, (Aimless), Sunday, 3 January 2021 04:02 (three years ago) link
my key memory of bill walton as a sports announcer was him doing a national game with marv albert in the immediate aftermath of albert's sexual assault case in '97 ()before the network fired Marv... for those who weren't around or may have forgotten, here's the wiki:
Albert became embroiled in a sexual assault scandal in 1997. A 42-year-old woman named Vanessa Perhach accused Albert of throwing her onto a bed, biting her, then forcing her to perform oral sex after a February 12, 1997 argument in his Pentagon City hotel room. DNA testing linked Albert to genetic material taken from the bite marks and from semen in Perhach's underwear. During the trial, testimony was presented from another woman, Patricia Masden, who told the jury Albert had bitten her on two different occasions in 1993 and 1994 in Miami and Dallas hotels respectively, which she viewed as unwanted sexual advances. Masden claimed that in Dallas, Albert called her to his hotel room to help him send a fax, only for her to find him wearing "white panties and garter belt". Albert maintained that Perhach had requested that he bite her and denied her accusation he had asked her to bring another man into their sexual affair. He described the recorded conversation of hers with the police on the night of the incident as "an Academy Award performance". After tests proved that the bite marks were his, he pleaded guilty to misdemeanor assault and battery charges, while the sodomy charge was dropped. Albert was given a 12-month suspended sentence.
So anyway, there was a series of plays where walton was clearly actively needling albert about it on-air, talking about how some player was "chomping at the bit" to play and "hungry to tear into the competition" and "sharpening his teeth" and at a certain point he asked Marv for his opinion about something like if such and such player was ready to take a bite out of the league. Then the booth went completely silent for like a possession and a half and when they came back, it was just Marv calling plays and Bill completely shut up for the quarter. If that had happened during the twitter era, it would've been national news, as it stands I've never met anyone who remembers having heard that game.

interesting watching his makes in sequence in that game--starts off hitting 3s and coming off a lot of screens, then once he has that working he starts pump faking and getting into the midrange or all the way to the basket. it's a cliche but the game has really slowed down for him.

the spurs hit an insane amount of midrange shots
with so many modern nba defenses concentrating on rim protection and chasing shooters off the three point line, mid-range shots are necessarily more available as good open looks, because it's impossible to defend the whole floor all the time. if you can make 'em at a high enough percentage, they're worth taking in volume.
― Compromise isn't a principle, it's a method (Aimless), Thursday, 28 January 2021 16:42 (three years ago) link
sure ive said this before but the idea that the midrange is dead is just not true! the thing that died was the long two, those shots a step or two inside the 3pt line, shots from say inside 18ft havent fallen off much, theres a lot of misleading charts out there

og youd really have to back up the truck for which could be worth it tbh toronto prob not interested anyway, grant and gordon prob the sweet spot of possible and would work, barnes wld be good too but hes older and makes iirc enough money that it cld put them over the tax line, thad young you could get for not much which wld be nice, tho getting a younger guy who could be a long term third wing w the jays is much preferable imho

good but not great players on bad teams are generally getable if youre willing to make a real offer, because this trade exemption represents prob their last chance to add a significant salary i think the celtics should consider doing just that if they can get someone good whos on the jays timeline, rather than going after a gap filler like young or barnes, its not dannys style tho of course

Gordon really is the sweet spot. Glad ORL stopped their strange behavior of winning games back at the start the season, making him less gettable.

grant williams is 19-39 from 3 this year ie 49%, last year he was 24-96 for 25% which included his famous 0-25 to start the season, now he is also shooting 54% from the line where he shot 72% last year so this may just be a heater, BUT the thing is his shot looks really good, and it looked bad last year, its very compact and balanced with good rhythm, looks pretty much like an ideal shot for grant williams who will be getting open catch and shoot looks, and mostly this season as far as i saw he was taking open corner shit and hitting them which was nice, good for grant and the celtics, but then recently ive seen him take some shots from the wing and even a couple times catch and relocate with a single dribble, and his shot still looks good and hes hitting them
not saying hes gonna keep hitting 50% or even 40 but if he can really shoot some thats pretty huge as hes already a good versatile defender who will prob continue to improve on that end as he seems like a heady opportunistic player, he could really be something for the celtics
― lag∞n, Saturday, 6 February 2021 16:05 (three years ago) link

im pretty stoked on this team even tho theyve been not that great so far, they need to upgrade their bench particularly get a third big wing as we have discussed, they need to find a stretch of health where all their main guys can play together
and i feel like and this might be the toughest part kemba needs to figure out how to be more of a distributor, ive noticed since hes been on the celtics that hes not quite as good of a playmaker as you might think given his general profile, he drives a lot looking to score and when he gets rebuffed he often pauses for a moment and then tries to figure out a pass, rather than having a pass ready within the flow of the play, or he forces a tough shot, which is too bad because this team would be perfect for him to drive and kick more, he can always get past the first level of D so thats gonna create open shooters he just needs to figure out how to find them
generally the celtics need to drive and kick more theres too much one on one play from all their big 3, which is because theyre all really good at it, but a little more ball movement would really take their offense to the next level IMHO, especially when youve got grant out there bombing 3s!
this guy also seems to have figured some stuff out, life is full or surprises

was trying to think if theres ever been a really good "small sniper" type player, obvs theres great small shooters like kyrie trae etc but those guys are all around players, has there been like a tiny klay thompson, doesnt seem like a natural type as its much harder to get those catch and shoots off when youre small, anyway carsen is not a great creator w the dribble or particularly much of a finisher around the rim so maybe he can try to be the baby bomber

yeah i'm not really sure what carsen is yet other than "better than jeff teague."
agree that kemba's game needs to evolve, was interesting last night watching him use penetration to get to the cp3 style short jumper rather than going all the way to the rim. his days of being a true three-level scorer might be over but he should be able to use the threat of his shooting to get good shots for other guys.

eh maybe that is his actual height
Edwards checked in as the shortest player at the combine at 5 feet, 10 3/4 inches without shoes, or 6-foot even in shoes. No surprise, as Edwards himself said he'll need to work on his point guard skills, since his future likely lies there at the next level.

last nights game felt like a vision of a possible celtics future, with the offense being run through tatum and brown (9 and 10 assists respectively) kemba playing a secondary role and shooters spaced around the perimeter, obvs it was way on the end of the spectrum as far as the jays playmaking rather than scoring but if they can do that playmaking when the defense forces them to they become pretty unstoppable, and kemba will get much better opportunities playing off the ball whether thats catch and shoots or attacking a defense already in rotation

lagoon analysis otm and i really hope to see it. they just need some, um, actual shooters. it was such an unfamiliar feeling seeing a game where semi went off that i looked back through his game logs. he had an 18 pter earlier this yr vs the wiz but before that had never once scored 15 pts in an nba game. his 3FG% bounced up to 38% last yr so if he can keep that up maybe there are more games like this in his future

at least put him second in the big rotation and at least if youre going to play two bigs make it him and theis two guys who can move their feet, theis and thompson just have no chance defensively, its has to be demoralizing to play in that lineup
― lag∞n, Thursday, 25 February 2021 17:55 (three years ago) link
couple caveats re rob playing time is brad did imply the other day that they were bringing him back slowly from last years injury and rob has said that sometimes it still bothers him so if theyre trying to avoid a long term problem there i support it, and tbh i have to give brad the benefit of the doubt re developing young players both jays have outperformed what people thought their ceiling even was when they were drafted, some of the other guys theyve drafted more recently idk jurys still out obvs not everyones going to stick, rob tho is looking very good this year, he makes plays!
― lag∞n, Thursday, 25 February 2021 18:04 (three years ago) link
some stretches w rob in is the only time of the brad era that imo the offense has looked really dominant, theyve had highish ratings but i feel like brad is such an optimizer despite being often very good his teams dont tend have that thing where youre like holy shit theyre punching the knicks in the neck, which is what i like to see tbh
― lag∞n, Thursday, 25 February 2021 18:06 (three years ago) link
i've given this a lot of thought and their main problem is they play too many guys who have between 0-1 offensive skills. bunch of non-nba players on the roster and borderline players getting asked to give important minutes. i'm ticked that some of the local sentiment has turned toward the Js being selfish! no one else can do anything!
― call all destroyer, Thursday, 25 February 2021 18:11 (three years ago) link
their bench sucking is def far and away their biggest problem, and then having a bunch of injuries has compounded that by giving the bench more minutes

Hollinger in the Athletic:
How Aaron Gordon to Boston could workSo … Sam Amick put out the bat signal for some cap analysis Monday night on this possible Orlando-Boston trade (scroll below), and I am here to oblige.A deal that sends Marcus Smart to Orlando for Evan Fournier and Aaron Gordon is, indeed, possible cap-wise because Smart’s salary is enough to offset Gordon’s, and Fournier fits into Boston’s massive $28 million trade exception from the Gordon Hayward trade. In fact, the Celtics would still have $11 million left over on their exception after taking in Fournier.However, a better way for Boston to execute this deal would be include the minimum salaries of Javonte Green and Carsen Edwards along with Smart. Including Green would send out a $1.5 million salary the Celtics would otherwise end up having to waive, while having no impact on the $18.1 million trade exception that the Magic would generate for Gordon. And in the absence of any other moves, including Edwards’s $1.5 million becomes necessary to keep Boston below the hard cap.One other piece I expect to come up, if it hasn’t been already, is a Khem Birch-Tristan Thompson swap as part of any Gordon trade with Boston. Birch has an expiring deal worth $3 million, while Thompson makes $9.7 million next season. Birch and Fournier for Smart and Thompson is clean cap-wise and actually generates an additional $6.7 million trade exception on Boston’s side.The biggest issue with the Celtics trading for Gordon and Fournier is that Boston is likely to be about $25 million over the luxury tax line if they add Gordon and re-sign free-agent-to-be Fournier and would go further over if they re-sign Daniel Theis. Including Thompson in the trade would cut the number nearly in half and make this whole thing far more palatable from Boston’s end.Alas, Orlando probably isn’t jonesing to pay Thompson $9.7 million next year either. Such a move would leave the Magic themselves just $10 million from next year’s tax line, and their first-round pick would soak up much of that room. Basically, it would make the Gordon traded player exception irrelevant because they wouldn’t be able to use it, and likely rob the Magic of using their full midlevel exception too. The Magic would need that money to sign a 3-and-D wing after losing Gordon and Fournier. Additionally, Thompson would be another potential roadblock to playing time for 2018 lottery pick Mo Bamba.All told, I’d bet against Birch and Thompson being in this deal, but I’d be shocked if Boston didn’t broach it.Finally, one more Orlando-Boston wrinkle: The Celtics should look really hard at setting up this deal as an extend-and-trade with Fournier. (For that matter, they could extend Gordon right now too, but he can get more years if he waits till the summer.) Locking in Fournier at something around his current number of $17.1 million would reduce a lot of the risk in this deal for Boston and have no impact on the Magic.

It would definitely be tough to see Marcus go. I don't really want to think about it if I don't have to, he's the exemplar extraordinaire of the Celtics Mindtype. But it's not a crazy trade if, like in the example above, the picks are fully lottery protected. Danny can't draft for shit anymore in the back half of the 1st round anyway.
Fournier is only 28, thought he was older. He needs to embrace the 6th man role for it to work, but if he does that, I'm warming to the idea
― Lavator Shemmelpennick, Tuesday, 23 March 2021 16:00 (three years ago) link

bomani was making this point when indiana fired its coach but the only coaches who go back to college from the NBA are the ones who are forced to because they can't hack it in the pros... calipari, pitino... fred hoiberg. brad is this weird special situation bcuz he coached butler so ppl attach this romantic idea of college basketball to him, like he just a gritty grinder who loves the purity of the game and will one day leave the glitz and glamor behind so he can go back to coaching random white corn boys who he can bootstrap to the final 4. but there isn't really any evidence that an NBA coach who is in demand w/ NBA teams which brad obv would be is going to go back to the amateur level

― J0rdan S., Thursday, 1 April 2021 19:42 (two years ago) link
Larry Brown a notable exception, but he's pretty iconoclastic and defies any attempt to generalize about coaching trajectories.
Can't imagine Brad taking the step back now at all, or even down the line to anything other than a dream situation. But I could see him going to coach Indiana someday, if they are a top team again and stumble into a coaching vacancy when Brad also happens to be at a natural transition point.

During Bird's era almost no one practiced taking threes regularly. It was still considered a low percentage shot, suitable for desperation flings as the shot clock wound down. A player who sought to specialize in threes was a freak.

if they can keep this up the bench is still the big question mark. if Romeo can stay healthy and effective and Fournier jells in, I am excited. Tristan not quite as objectionable when he's backin up Rob instead of obstructing his minutes.
My other latent worry is that Kemba seems like he could fall off the washed cliff at any moment, but i guess his game has always looked a little unlikely. hopefully he can hang on for another season or two

Not to pour cold water on all this enthusiasm, but the Celtics shot about 43% from three and only won by one point against the sixth place team in the West. This is hardly a towering achievement and as a Blazer fan I'm more likely to overestimate my team than otherwise.

They are on a bit of a tear at the moment and it would be nice to see them stay healthy and secure the 4 spot. Could more or less equally well be eliminated in the second game of the play-in. It’s a frustrating team in a frustrating season!

romeo having a weird career arc so far scored tons of points in high school was a top recruit, played through injury his one college year and slipped a little bit down to the teens in the draft, has been mostly injured through his first two years in the league, when he has played hes shown basically nothing on the offensive end but has somehow been total defensive phenom from day 1

yes, it's unlike anything i can remember. he's a natural at on-ball defense which was somehow never a talking point when he came out of school.
one of the celtics athletics guys did a story recently about him and sounds like the celtics would like to use him as an evan turner type who can handle the ball and direct some offense without being a great shooter. that's a tough needle to thread, but if he keeps making plays on defense they'll just need to find ways to get him out there.

semi romeo and kornet could also get some spot play but they all have such huge holes in their games that theyre prob more situational options
― lag∞n, Friday, 30 April 2021 16:54 (two years ago) link
backup wing is def the problem spot, fourier can take some of those minutes but hes really more of a guard, semi can hit wide open 3s and play d, romeo can handle the ball a little and play d, hopefully nesmiths emerging play can continue emerging cause his game actually has all the stuff you want from a secondary wing hit a variety of 3s, play d, attack closeouts, keep the ball moving...

parker, romeo and kornet have the potential to find playoff matchup moments where they might help win gamesi would not be surprised if pritchaht has a breakout herro moment in the first/second round.

i was thinking about why nesmith has looked so good in the past two games and one thing just observationally is that he seems to be doing a lot more slashing, cutting, going for rebounds, etc.
even when you are drafting someone to be a good shooter, i wonder if it makes sense to get them involved doing those things and just running around playing basketball vs standing in the corner and pinning everything on whether the shot goes in or not.

lmao this kg oral history on the athletic
Clayton Wilson, former equipment manager: Every practice was like the seventh game of the Finals. (Former Wolves GM Kevin) McHale would come into my office before practice and ask me to cheer against KG to get the intensity going at practice.
I would say (to Sam Mitchell), “He can’t guard you, Sam! Bust his young butt, Sam! Kick that butt blue team or whatever team that wasn’t KG’s.”
KG would stare me down, swear, tell me to get my pom-poms out and then lock down Sam and start talking smack.
Then Sam would take his mouthpiece out and tell me to shut the fuck up. He had enough problems playing against the young fella without me getting him hyped. I would then go back to work, and McHale would give me a “that-a-boy.”

from the athletic
What happens to Mike Zarren and Austin Ainge?
Changes could still come. Stevens said he has not yet thought much about the structure of the front office but intends to “dive into that” soon. Still, Danny Ainge suggested Stevens will likely keep much of the front office, if not all of the front office, intact.
“He has a great staff with Mike and Austin and Dave (Lewin) and Remy (Cofield) and Jake (Eastman) and Allison (Feaster),” Ainge said. “And just a great staff already in place, and that with Brad’s leadership and his organization and his work ethic and intelligence, I think it’s going to be great.”
While stating he plans to lean on the guys with front office experience, Stevens mentioned both Zarren and Austin Ainge as if he hopes to keep them both in the organization.
“I know there’s a lot of work to do, and I will say, and I think it’s really important to say, Danny mentioned it earlier, we’re set up not only from a player standpoint, but we’ve got great coaches that are in the building – you know, Mike Zarren, Austin and that whole entire group, they’re going to make this transition very easy because they’re high, high level at what they do,” Stevens said. “They know the ins and outs of everything that needs to be known, and I’m looking forward to working with them, leaning on their expertise as I transition, leaning on Danny’s expertise as he transitions and going from there.”

CELTICS WIN THE NETS TRADE— Ryan Bernardoni AC⚡️AB (@dangercart) June 20, 2021
― EZ Snappin, Sunday, 20 June 2021 03:44 (two years ago) link
Another thing to keep in mind is that as soon as the draft is past the C's can trade their 2022 pick so they haven't encumbered future pick trading ability at all. It does mean that any trades that cost two picks become troublesome b/c you do then tie up picks far down the line.— Ryan Bernardoni AC⚡️AB (@dangercart) June 18, 2021
Yep. The timing of the trade was "weird" in relation to most trades happening closer to the draft but moving Kemba needed to happen pre-draft for both trade kicker and future pick flexibility reasons: https://t.co/mWARqRNZxc— Ryan Bernardoni AC⚡️AB (@dangercart) June 21, 2021

He told Schröder his hard-nosed style would fit well in the Celtics organization and in the city of Boston. Horford emphasized that after needing to suppress his game in Los Angeles for a season, Schröder would be able to showcase his talents on the Celtics. As much as anything, Horford stressed to Schröder how badly the Celtics needed him.“You’re going to have a big year here,” Horford said, according to Schröder, “because we know your value and we know how to put you in place to be successful.’”“One big reason I chose the Boston Celtics was because of him,” Schröder said during a phone call Thursday evening.

I like to hear this, showtime Celtics would be fun:
Schröder has only gone through three days of practice with Boston, but likes the vibe he has gotten from the team so far. Once the season starts, he wants the Celtics to play an up-tempo style. Especially when he’s on the court with Tatum and Brown, he wants to push the pace.“If I’m playing with them, we’ve gotta make it as fast as possible,” Schröder said. “We’ve gotta get down the floor, pushing the pace. I think that’s what fits me as well. I think Jaylen Brown was number one in fast-break points in the league. So I think helping him more get to his spots, get open. And Jayson Tatum, put him in the spots that he can be effective — and more effective. I think that will be great.”

pritchard obvs had a great rookie year but now hes just bombing 30 footers without hesitation and has been aggressive making plays too, dont want to read too much into the preseason but the celtics bench could be actually good this year, should at the very least be better than last seasons dumpster fire

Boston has a tricky problem to solve where Tatum isn't looking to pass in iso, but also they aren't running backside actions to give him a kick out option.

definitely, and even when he held it a few times and i thought he was going to take a tough shot, he waited for the defenders to come and moved it to someone with a clean look. again it can't be fun to play that way, but he's going to face a shitload of multiple defender situations given how this team is composed and those passes will be there.

i do support the celtics getting simmons thooo, would have to be a three team deal since the sixers dont want what the celtics are willing to trade, something like bunch of picks + horf to a rebuilding team, players from rebuilding team to philly, simmons to boston

I mean Maxey might already be better than Sexton.
Love is interesting and probably would work with Embiid but he apparently doesn't like the new ball either.

if maxey is better than sexton the sixers are in a pretty sweet spot

I haven't seen Sexton much, so grain of salt, just looking at their advanced stats and (wishful thinking) projecting Maxey to develop a bit more.
― Hannibal Lecture (PBKR), Monday, 8 November 2021 18:33 (two years ago) link
sexton has the right skills and style to be an nba lead ball handler aka a guy who can break down the defense and getting things happening, whether he will ever do it at a high enough level to really be a good lead ball handler well i wouldnt bet on it but he is at least the type of player the sixers need, tho hes also the type of guy who could really suffer from this new physicality if it persists because he is small
― lag∞n, Monday, 8 November 2021 18:39 (two years ago) link
if the sixers have to settle for a package like him and love lol that would be bad for them tho not out of the realm of possibility but does seem like pretty much the floor they could get for simmons

feel like this is right as far as their defensive improvement
Slowly but surely, Udoka has righted the ship with this group on the defensive end in the past two weeks with a number of subtle but effective moves. He’s scaled back the defensive switching among the team’s true bigs (Rob Williams). He’s also leaning more heavily into playing strong wing defenders (Josh Richardson, Romeo Langford) off the bench over potential defensive liabilities (Payton Pritchard, Jabari Parker).
Those shifts combined with some improved effort and understanding from Boston’s personnel has rocketed this group back towards the top of the NBA since the start of November. After Monday’s 98-92 win over the Cavs, Boston improved to 5-2 in its last seven games despite playing without Jaylen Brown for five of those contests.

my feeling is with their guys healthy the celtics are who we thought they were a second tier team
― lag∞n, Tuesday, 14 December 2021 15:58 (two years ago) link
but when their guys go down its tough cause they just dont have enough offense, not just in scoring but also playmaking, theres barely a plus passer on the roster, as far as guys who actually get minutes its just rob and horf and neither of those guys have the game/position where they can force the issue as far as making plays, but when jayson and jaylen are both playing they can solve some of that just by putting pressure on the D via driving and at the 3pt line, then just make the simple pass once the defense is in rotation, jaylen got jayson some nice 3pt looks last night just via very easy drive and kicks
― lag∞n, Tuesday, 14 December 2021 16:03 (two years ago) link
yeah it's a great point, no perimeter passing and no one who really moves without the ball, so the only way they can create advantages is by attacking and driving over and over which is tough in terms of expending energy and actually having enough guys who can do it effectively.
― call all destroyer, Tuesday, 14 December 2021 16:10 (two years ago) link

ray would like to bury the hatchet
There’s a rift that formed between you and the core members of that 2008 Celtics championship team: Kevin Garnett, Paul Pierce and Rajon Rondo. It apparently began when you left for Miami. Are there still hard feelings?We don’t talk, sadly. I remember after we won in 2008, something that Kevin said, that we’re going to be brothers for life, that this is going to keep us bonded. Rip Hamilton and I are UConn brothers and champions and we’re connected for life. When he won in 2004 with the Pistons, they stayed connected and bonded. That’s something we’ve done a poor job as Celtics, keeping that bond connected. It’s not by my doing, either. The whole story of me leaving for Miami, regardless of that, it doesn’t change anything that we’ve done as a group. That group and what we did is historic. It’ll take cooler heads to prevail and for guys to say, ‘What are we mad about?’ There are so many other things happening in the world. We got to preach unity and togetherness, and for me, that’s always been my mantra. I don’t like the fact we haven’t talked. At some point, I’m sure we will have conversations and move this stuff past us.

By my count, the Celtics have been basically healthy for 24 of the 115 games they’ve played since the beginning of last season.A lot of those games have a non-Jay rotation player out or are in Jayson’s “not technically covid but covid aftermath struggles” period.— Ryan Bernardoni (@dangercart) January 4, 2022

― ciderpress, Wednesday, 5 January 2022 17:46 (two years ago) link
the thing about trading a player as good as jaylen is you never get equal value in return so its basically a non starter, seems like the two realistic options for the celtics to become a better basketball team are 1 acquire a third star via shipping off a bunch of draft picks or 2 build a more complimentary team, one that has more playmaking and shooting, around the jays
ever being at all healthy would help too

idk about how available everyone has been, but this should be the most talented team he's had around him in the past couple years and it doesn't seem like it's helped him--usage down (which could be a good thing if it was coming out of bad shots bailing out his teammates), free throw rate way down, turnover rate up.

the celtics trading all their picks for brad beal coming off his worst season in years & throwing him onto a team w/ two similar players that doesn't have a PG or any shooting & then signing him to a humungous contract sounds like a great idea & i approve
― J0rdan S., Monday, 24 January 2022 21:11 (two years ago) link
hes pretty different than tatum and brown mostly in that hes a guard, has more of a guards game playmaking speed and so forth, hed be a pretty nice fit really since the celtics are in desperate need of both playmaking and shooting in the backcourt, tho obvs itd not be free from concerns like age contract bad season maybe weird guy who never won anything and so forth, but as far as adding a third star theyre not super likely to find better than him
― lag∞n, Monday, 24 January 2022 21:22 (two years ago) link
guard play is really whats been killing the celtics this year, that and tatum forgetting how to shoot, smarts offensive liabilities are well known but when you pair him with another non shooter such as dennis schroder or guys who arent really putting much pressure on on the defense like pritchard richardson (who has been great fwiw but he does what he does) or larngford youre just not getting enough out of the backcourt, beal would be an extreme upgrade there and allow those other guys to settle into their natural roles, as for a point guard who has a point guard thats not even a thing anymore name three point guards, youd just have beal and smart both playing guard, theyre both kind of combo guys anyway

it feels like their absolute ceiling is getting squashed in round 2 so loading up for next year & beyond makes the most sense. prob wouldn't be fun to deal w/ tatum & brown's angst over the backsliding over the last two years but they're under contract so w/e. if the trade market this year is advantageous to them really reshaping the roster for the future they should do it

it's true that fewer people than i expect have a perspective on the whole league, like this isn't the nfl or mlb there's 6 or 7 guys per team who matter and it's not all that hard to keep track of them. that's part of the appeal!
i am over here reading that romeo is "a 3 and d monster in the making" but at this rate "the making" is going to go well into his second nba contract
― call all destroyer, Friday, 11 February 2022 02:29 (two years ago) link
totally missed that they were sending this years pick over in the white trade, dont think that was reported at first, trade makes more sense now
League sources tell MassLive that the Celtics’ will send a top-4 protected first-round pick in 2022 to San Antonio. That pick will roll over to top-4 protected in 2023 if it doesn’t convey in 2022. If it remains protected through both drafts, it turns into a second-round pick in 2023 if it also doesn’t convey next season

yeah the spurs get this years pick which will be like 18 in what is said to be a bad draft, and they also got a swap in 2028 which people are similarly flagellating themselves about. idk, you have to give something to get something when the something is a guy entering his prime on a pretty cheap contract with years of team control.

the east is obvs very freaking stacked this year but if this improves their already sick D they could make some noise, also if tatum remembers how to shoot, it would be cool to beat philly in the playoffs again
honestly derrick is a tremendous defender, one of the best charge-takers there is and hes the best shot-blocking guards this side of d wade and danny green. he should really have more all-defense hype than dejounte. hes not the most athletic guard, but he's a smart and patient pick n roll leader, has some nice hesitation moves. his 3pt shot has been rough this year though its started to fall more lately, and he'll likely get some better looks with the j's drawing so much attention. he'll make an impact right away

i'm super excited about that. it's desperately needed on this team. and while there seems to be some consternation about his shooting (especially vis a vis richardson who has rediscovered his own shot a bit this year), iirc white's best shooting came in the bubble so it's pretty obvious what that was about, and he should get some good looks on the celtics while anything he does off the dribble will be a bonus.

ive read a bunch of stuff about these trades and everyones talking about theis as a third center, injury protection, long term replacement etc but no one seems to be hip to the possibility that the celtics are just planning on going big all the time, which makes a lot of sense considering they sent out two perimeter players and got back one and a big
like right now horf is starting at the 4 and then playing a lot of 5 the rest of the game but what if theis took those 5 minutes and horf plays mostly 4 with grant backing him up, theyve been having so much success with the big starting unit why not do it all the time, and it doesnt make a ton of sense to trade for theis who has a pretty big contract if youre not really planning on playing him

tatum is a great example of how spot up 3-pt shooting and off the dribble 3-pt shooting are completely different skills for a lot of guys, like you'd never say someone who gets off as many stepbacks as he does has a "slow release," but then yeah if you hit him for an open spot up he looks a million times worse than guys who can just catch it in the pocket and launch.
― call all destroyer, Monday, 14 February 2022 19:27 (two years ago) link
yeah i feel like tatum's shot is really built around it not being blockable by the man guarding him, like it's a very one on one oriented motion. so he has this elongated way of raising it up really high and getting it off over a contesting hand & when there's no one in front of him it all looks kinda unnecessary
― J0rdan S., Monday, 14 February 2022 19:35 (two years ago) link
i thought that the white-smart-brown-tatum + whoever mix looked kinda nice for the c's yesterday. if white or smart was at all a reliable three point shooter they'd really have something there. but they have nice flexibility off that 4, they can play big or small depending on what makes sense. i could see the argument against the trade insofar as they will give up a decent-ish pick to upgrade a team that still prob has a low ceiling this year but i thought their main 4 looked noticeably better yesterday in terms of fit and style than what they had w/ schroeder. i think it speaks well of brad's GMing just in terms of identifying a player on a different team that works off his core guys even if the price in terms of assets & contracts might've been a tad high

thinking theres a good chance horf gets moved with some picks in the offseason, his contract is only partially guaranteed so he cld easily be waived, i know if you trade a guy in season and hes waived you cant resign him but not sure about the offseason, wld be cool to trade him then get him back

No idea if this is plausible or even possible, but would be cool if Horf renegotiated for a lower yearly amt in exchange for years, and finished his career as a rotation player in Boston. Probably a pipe dream but in the fantasy land of my mind, both Al and the Celts learned over the past few years that they’re better off together than apart

couple articles out today trying to figure out why computers like the celtics so much
https://www.theringer.com/nba/2022/3/1/22955727/nba-boston-celtics-championship-odds
https://www.espn.com.au/nba/insider/insider/story/_/id/33348162/how-boston-celtics-vaulted-back-championship-contention-nba-best-defense
i kind of feel the same about them as i have all year which is that talent wise they are a very solid but not great team, obvs theyve been playing extremely well which is heartening tho they are getting some luck with opponent shooting, but the thing that imo really gives them a shot this year is right now at least no one else is looking dominant, says in one of those pieces 538 has them favored to win it all at %18 but also gives them a 30% chance of losing in the first round lol, which just about sums it up
― lag∞n, Tuesday, 1 March 2022 16:11 (two years ago) link
i guess the other thing that gives me hope for a playoff run is their starting five has been killing it
In their 322 minutes together on the floor, the Celts' starters are outscoring opponents by 26.6 points per 100 possessions. Folks, that is ludicrous. No other five-man group with at least 200 minutes together is even close to that. The defending champion Milwaukee Bucks' best five-man group (Giannis Antetokounmpo, Khris Middleton, Jrue Holiday, Bobby Portis and Grayson Allen) is at plus-13.2. The Golden State Warriors' best five-man lineup features three All-Stars (Stephen Curry, Draymond Green, Andrew Wiggins), and they're a plus-8.2, not even one-third as good as what the Celtics' starters have done.
and obvs starters play more in the offs
― lag∞n, Tuesday, 1 March 2022 16:12 (two years ago) link
and i will say that success from the starters isnt one of those things where theyre efforting their way to wins, playing playoff basketball in the regular season, they do have another gear particularly on defense that they only use occasionally
― lag∞n, Tuesday, 1 March 2022 16:14 (two years ago) link
would be nice if they could hit a 3 now and then lol, their playoff fate could easily swing on getting hot or not from deep
― lag∞n, Tuesday, 1 March 2022 16:20 (two years ago) link
yeah definitely. lately it feels like when they make their threes it’s a blowout, and when they don’t it’s a lossthey had a few outlier blowouts in a row that has really goosed their net rating or whatever the computers use to calculate these things. the improvement is real, and the defense is real, but how real the new-look ball-movement is when it gets physical in the offs will be intertsing to see play out
― Tracer Hand, Tuesday, 1 March 2022 16:27 (two years ago) link

agree with this, they *should* be a really strong playoff team if they can stay out of their own way on the offensive end. they're probably still a guy short but the east is a total free for all as far as matchups and roster strangths/weaknesses.

lol grant williams (who is having a nice game) just got the ball in the corner, but for whatever reason he was at like 18 feet instead of behind the 3-point line and you could see his brain break for a second as if it was illegal to shoot from there. luckily he bounced back with a nice dribble move for a layup.

it's interesting, ja ended up scoring 38 to tatum's 37 but being there everyone in the building was waiting for him to do crazy stuff and outside of the one nice alley oop, we just didn't feel him as a force. the celtics did a good job of walling off the rim and while he hit a couple threes it was too late to matter.
tatum otoh was having a nice, fairly normal game for 3 quarters and then as you say completely took over the 4th. the grizz have a bunch of defensive-minded players and no one could do anything with him.

wow this game was pretty good huh?in a way it’s slightly alarming that the celtics can play out of their minds at home against maybe not the best defensive team in the east and still have it be that close but i guess you are dealing with two crazy talents (and i do mean crazy! speaking of which i wasn’t thrilled that kyrie embraced tatum like that after the final whistle, breathing all over him etc)they really went at it, just all out shit - ridiculously fun to watch

good piece in the athletic today about defending durant, even tho he torched them seems like they have the right idea, basically kept him off the line and out of the paint force him to take contested midrange which obvs he did, but he did have 7 tos which is crucial, then they got even more aggressive with him late forced the ball out of his hands
― lag∞n, Tuesday, 8 March 2022 16:26 (two years ago) link
will be interesting to see how the nets integrate the non shooter ben simmons into the offense, seems like theyll prob just play him at center which might be the same diff as theyre giving minutes to non shooting centers now anyway, he could be dangerous as a roll man but is prob a liability when kd gets trapped, wonder if theyll sit him in crunch time

for as great as he is kd has never been someone where you just put the ball in his hands every time down the floor and you get good offense out of it. if the nets end up playing that way i think you live with it and go at them on the other end.

i'm not sure the celtics really did anything wrong with KD, i mean when rob williams has his hand right in your face, 100% contested, and you still drain it, what can you do? and he just never seemed to miss. i do think the celtics got slightly lucky that tatum had a career game and pretty much every 3 went in but still, a lot of things went bklyn's way too.

... kinda rightfully so at the moment? didnt really seem like it was working and you dont want to go down the path the blazers went and wait too long to shake it up. the vibes were off, too. but they have figured it out so it looks dumb now. pairing two all-star wings/forwards who play defense is much better than two undersized guards tho, of course. much easier to build around. time lord development has been real fun to see.

Awesome clip, it's been very gratifying to see Pritchard firing on all cylinders after how he started the year. Cs have 3 days off now, playing Minnesota and the Kat Bevs on Sunday. A little sad tbh to have such a long break when their momentum is so huge. But I'll take it.
We've reached that time of year when you can look at the remaining schedule and start penciling in Ws and Ls. 2 big games left for the Celts against the teams they're jockeying with, both nationally televised - Miami on Wednesday and then Milwaukee 2 weeks from today, second to last game of the season. The Bucks have a brutal schedule moving forward, I think we catch them before then. That game could be huge. Without any analysis, just eyeballing what's left the Heat and Sizers have a lot of cake games, feels like the Cs end up in 3rd which seems ideal. I'm not as scared of the Brooklyn bogeyman as some but would still prefer the Cavs/Bulls/Raps.
One cool thing about the play-in is that it really cuts down on jockeying for opponents, so much is unknown. Ppl seem to be assuming the Nets will face #2 but if you combine the odds of them losing the first play-in game and them falling into 9th altogether (admittedly feels unlikely after the Hornets shit the bed against the Knicks last night), they could certainly end up against #1.

and yeah great to see pritchard get cooking not getting regular minutes was obvs fucking with him earlier in the season but i think also the celtics offense as a whole was pretty bad so it wasnt generating the clean looks he needs and then all of that was messing with his confidence, now hes getting pretty close to just launching every time he has a window which is what he should be doing, ive noticed they position him pretty far behind the 3pt line a lot really trying to stretch the defense out and it seems like it gives him a lot of different shots to step or roll into too

very curious to find out if they did one of the procedures that gets you back quicker but could lead to issues down the line or if they just got lucky with the severity of the tear
― J0rdan S., Wednesday, 30 March 2022 15:39 (one year ago) link
A meniscectomy (I've had one) is where they cut the torn part off of the rest of the meniscus. It's quicker healing, but you lose part of the meniscus. A meniscus repair is where they sow the torn part back to the meniscus, which preserves the meniscus, but is a much longer recovery time. I'm fairly certain nearly all athletes opt for the former, but I could be wrong.
― reassessing life after bookmarking a Will Smith thread (PBKR), Wednesday, 30 March 2022 15:49 (one year ago) link
they usually assess based on the severity of the injury. i don't think doing the trim necessarily leads to issues down the road, but my concerns are more around rob being a slow healer and relying so much on leaping ability.
― call all destroyer, Wednesday, 30 March 2022 15:52 (one year ago) link
Re: Robert Williams, I'm always skeptical of any meniscus surgery timeline shorter than 8 weeks.

ten year old study on the famous meniscus
https://www.reuters.com/article/us-nba-players-meniscus/most-nba-players-recover-from-meniscus-tears-idUSTRE7BF23P20111216
While one in five of the athletes never returned to play another NBA game after the injury, those that did return generally got back to their pre-injury playing level. That was based on a calculation that weighed athletes’ points, rebounds, fouls and turnovers in the seasons right before and after the injury.
The athletes missed about six weeks worth of practice and games before returning to play, on average.

We didn’t have a good trip, but it was more so all the things that we had built to that point. Whether we were losing some big leads, playing a certain way. And we didn’t (play well on) that trip. So I hit them with a 75 clip film session — 75 different clips.Plays you didn’t like?Yeah, whole categories of (them) not having physicality, not moving the ball.

sitting pretty here at 3, set to face the Bulls... AND YET I think it's highly unlikely that's where the Celts will be at day's end? Bucks are resting everyone and losing big to Cavs. So if we win we jump over them into 2nd. But if we lose and Philly beats Pistons @ home (which you gotta think they want that 3-seed too), then we drop to 4th, I think? Am I wrong about this?
Whatever it is, loving those numbers upthread and excited to do some damage in the offs!

from todays big athletic piece on udoka
As much as he is influenced by Popovich, Udoka often recites former Utah coach Jerry Sloan, going as far as to implement one of his sayings into the nightly scouting reports.
“One thing Jerry used to say that I use with the guys is ‘tuxedo guys’ … that’s a kind way of saying a guy is soft,” Udoka said. “On every scouting report, we have ‘tuxedo guys’ and the whole team has kind of run with it. Jerry would say certain guys like to ‘play in their tuxedo’ — you know, have a nice, easy game, don’t touch them, how’s your family? … Nah. We’re not about that.”

good stuff
With the Celtics facing a five-point deficit early in the fourth quarter Wednesday night, Udoka dialed up likely the most significant in-game adjustment of his young coaching career, given the circumstances. Partly to change Boston’s spacing, he called on a lineup full of his team’s best shooters: Payton Pritchard, Jayson Tatum, Jaylen Brown, Grant Williams and Al Horford. The group had only played six minutes together during the regular season. It did not include either Marcus Smart or Derrick White. Still, Udoka felt comfortable turning to the unit with a playoff game on the line. He had a vision.
Over the next several minutes, the Celtics ran some variation of the same look on almost every possession. They stationed Horford and Williams in the two corners, knowing the Nets would not want to leave either of them alone. The placement of the two Boston big men dragged their defenders, usually Kevin Durant and either Andre Drummond or Nicolas Claxton, out of the paint. By taking the Nets’ two longest players away from the action, the Celtics also took advantage of Brooklyn’s lack of defensive depth. The Nets simply don’t have much perimeter size or length. Udoka’s decision left his own team’s three best shooters — Tatum, Brown and Pritchard — essentially playing three-on-three against small defenders in space.
The strategy set up Boston’s best offensive stretch of the game, a string of five straight scores that flipped a five-point deficit into a 99-94 lead.

just read that long piece on Ime Udoka and his portland roots in the athletic, great article
― symsymsym, Sunday, 24 April 2022 16:33 (one year ago) link
BOSTON — It was Day One of the Ime Udoka era in Boston when the new coach first stood before his team and outlined how the Celtics would now operate.
It wasn’t a long speech, because really, Udoka wanted to cover just two topics: Punctuality and accountability.
“I’m not a big rules guy,” Udoka remembered telling his team. “So the main thing with me is to be on time.”
On to topic two: accountability.
On the big screen, a video began to play. It was a string of post-fight interviews of Adrien Broner, the braggadocious professional boxer. The clips highlighted Broner’s self-proclaimed nickname of being the “Can Man.”
“Listen, man, they call me ‘The Problem’ but you can call me the ‘Can Man,”’ Broner said on the video. “Because anybody can get it: AfriCANs. AmeriCANs. DominiCANs. MexiCANs. Anybody CAN get it.”
The video stopped and Udoka looked at his new team.
“And Ime says to them: ‘I just want to let you all know: I am the Can Man,”’ Celtics assistant coach Aaron Miles said. “He said, ‘Any and all y’all Can — and will — get it.”’
The message was clear: From stars Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown on down, Udoka would hold the Celtics to a standard. Udoka calls it an “equal opportunity” to be called out.

from the offs thread:
lag∞nPosted: 26 April 2022 at 20:32:16celtics poor halfcourt offense vs the nets weak D is the one thing about that series that has me worried, they relied on transition buckets in that series, what happens when they face a good defense and those dry up, they put together a great reg season offense via ball movement but the nets gummed that all up with switching and zoney things, tho having rob back could help some by adding that roll attack, but still celtics could be in for some defensive slogs from here out
― Tracer Hand, Wednesday, 27 April 2022 11:16 (one year ago) link
feel like we might be in for some playoff adjustments prioritizing shooting to open the court up like more grant less theis/rob, pritchard might be a little more playable vs the bucks too, as to what that all does to their defense idk their switchability is maybe improved with grant but rim protection is decreased, pritchard is obvs targetable but the bucks dont have the perimeter threats that the nets do so it might be manageable, will be interesting to see how the bucks play them i feel like everyone just gives up and starts switching everything at some point in the offs which limits ball movement and encourages iso play, celtics do have a couple good iso players and maybe if you put shooters around them it can work well enough
im assuming the celtics will play a similar scheme vs giannis as they did on kd with secondary defenders lurking in his driving lanes and coming over for late contests and opportunistic doubles, if they can turn him over consistently that would be very nice as its easy offense
havent seen an update on middleton feel like if hes out the celtics should win, if he plays even half the series and isnt too injured then well its game on baby

yeah think i said in the other thread that the bucks are really good at giving you mediocre quasi contested threes early in the shot clock that you really need to not take but its hard because theyre not that different than the shots that you do need to take so the shot selection situation is tricky
they really need to go at lopez in the pick and roll and either take the mid range shots that he gives up or kick it out for good 3s, also obvs take it to the basket when they can but hes pretty tough dropping back but maybe you can get some fouls on him if you drive forcefully

A friend of my dad, who lives in Knoxville, writes:
Grant Williams may not have been the best player at UT. Can't forget Bernard King. But to me he was the most interesting, the smartest, most valuable player I ever saw there. He was a below-the-radar recruit in Rick Barnes' first year and became the heart of the team, the post/wing guy who ran the team, delivered the clutch shots, led them to the conference championship and missed the Final Four by two points when they were upset in the NCAAs by cinderella Loyal of Chicago. He was also the two-time SEC Player of the Year. But the NBA is a different thing. I was glad to see him go to the Celtics but I worried that he didn't have the size or speed and didn't really fit the NBA one-on-on style. But, according to what he said in the postgame press conference the other night, he worked his tail off learning to shoot the 3 (never did that in college) and waited for his time -- which evidently came this week. Really happy for him, very admirable guy. Funny, a similar thing happened to All-American Dale Ellis at UT. He was buried in the post in Don Devoe's methodical, boring offense, went to the NBA and became the all-time 3-point champ (up until that time, of course).

1.) coach Ime Udoka didn’t trust his bench; 2.) the Celtics had issues running a cohesive offense against an elite defense; and 3.) Jaylen Brown and Jayson Tatum handled the ball far too much and hence made turnovers trying to create their own shot.
in particular
It may be time to lighten the responsibility from Marcus Smart, sign a quality backup point guard that could shift Smart to shooting guard in a small lineup and jumpstart the offense in the fourth quarter. The Celtics offense was stagnant all season late in games and that has to be addressed because that stagnation likely cost them a championship.
but what of derrick white?
The hope for the Celtics is White improves over the summer and is benefited by a full training camp. But his struggles punctuate the Celtics’ need for a knockdown shooter off the bench. Stevens filled the roster with defenders, turning the Celtics into the league’s No. 1 defense.But what happens when those defenders can’t score? That was their primary issue.

It wasn't that Ime didn't trust his bench, he just had no options and versatility there. Practically ever player in uniform for GS was in the rotation at some point during the season. Cs were all in on their 8.5 man rotation but when Grant lost the magic and White got cold he had no other options. Feel like he gave Pritchard and Theis the exact right minutes but those should've been the 4th and 5th or even 6th guys off the bench, not the 3rd and 4th.
― Lavator Shemmelpennick, Monday, 20 June 2022 20:26 (one year ago) link
yeah not really a trust thing, grant and theis just didn't fit the matchup. white played plenty of minutes but wasn't good

good news for our white gazelle
The Italian National Team announced that Danilo Gallinari suffered a meniscus tear in his left knee.He suffered no ACL or ligament damage however. Here’s the play where it happened: https://t.co/L3FKTKSXsK— ClutchPoints (@ClutchPointsApp) August 28, 2022

so it was the ACL after all lol
― Tracer Hand, Saturday, 3 September 2022 10:51 (one year ago) link
Gallinari first suffered this injury with the Nuggets back in April 2013 and had a “healing response” alternative procedure by Dr. Richard Steadman in Colorado to attempt a less invasive surgery that could fix the knee. The surgery was ultimately unsuccessful and he had to have a full repair in January 2014, causing him to miss the entire 2o13-14 season.He said he would write a book about the ordeal one day, noting that several other athletes such as Russell Westbrook had the same procedure done at the Steadman clinic and still had to have follow-up surgery.

i think there has to be something else going on here that has them landing on this punishment, but ultimately i stand by my opinion that having a workplace fling is one of the lamest and most selfish things you can do, they always get exposed and they always fuck things up for everyone else. if part of ime's appeal was that he was this dude who commanded respect and could yell at jaylen brown or whatever than yeah, just fire him.

I don’t really have a personal moral issue with workplace flings or whatever, people are gonna fuck who they want and it’s impossible to stop them, but the rules are in place for a reason: I’m assuming this relationship ended and she now has to continue to work under him, which obviously being exes would create an inherently inhospitable work environment. ime knew the rules and broke them (assuming this story is true). a year does seem like a lot though

for the same reasons that have been true for the past week, they can't disclose what happened and are trying to let things cool down and come to a financial settlement before making it permanent.
the woj coverage of this story is so poisoned at this point, like obviously they had to give him something negative about ime for credability purposes but in no way is this about a "crude remark"

idk i mean sports franchises fire coaches with 3+ years left on the contract all the time, im not sure how this is different. the celtics could afford to pay him whatever he’s owed so everyone can be done with this. this whole protracted news cycle to save a few million dollars firing him “for cause” feels cheapskatey if that’s really what’s going on

Could be also if he was being that risky about his behavior it was also going around the clubhouse as distracting rumors or maybe even as all but confirmed fact, and I don’t doubt it would have not been viewed as like “wow coach is cool” and more like, this guy’s been telling us to focus on one goal and meanwhile he’s out there creeping on ladies connected to the organization and risking a major scandal while we’re on the brink of something great here.

gotta think this is his last stop. i thought he would have a better post prime arc but the injuries were just too bad i guess. he figured out a passable outside shot and was always a good passer but no moves and being a (bad kind of) tweener on defense makes him unplayable for the most part.

in theory he does have the body/skillset to be a 12-15 mpg small ball 5. he was the nets best defender on giannis two years ago, but maybe that person is already gone. the nets needed any warm body vs boston and he couldn't get off the bench so it's prob wishful thinking.

Little thing but just like the mindset from the Celtics on offense. Vonleh screens for Brown, Embiid gets up to the level so that's done. Swing to Horford now Tatum comes off a screen from Smart.

impressed by hauser on D.
vonleh also looks comfortably capable of soaking up those theis minutes. he's not a threat to shoot but his D seems fine and he gets the occasional put-back.
brown and tatum guilty occasionally of hero ball but i guess you have to do that stuff sometimes otherwise you're not going to draw the coverage for your kick-outs to actually work.
starting to feel a lot better about this season!

In Boston's first 2 games, Marcus Smart guarded James Harden, Tobias Harris, Tyrese Maxey, P.J.

this not having rob or theis situation is troubling me, last year their defensive excellence was predicated by the fact that they played big, not just starting two big men but they they were big at all the perimeter positions too, not only can they not play that way right now they dont even have a good backup center, theyre down two centers and its causing them to not be able to play defense, the offense is nice tho lol

tatum, brown and smart still trying to make fetch happen through traffic, still too much jawing from grant, still too many meek contests on the perimeter. they get torched by guys like garland and derozan who curl off screens to find a little space. i guess last year they would have just switched on to them?

In one sign of how far he has progressed, Williams joined the Celtics on their road trip instead of staying back in Boston. In their own way, other Celtics players showed him how much they have missed his presence in the locker room. As he started chatting with a group of reporters in front of Tatum’s locker, Tatum piped up that Williams needed to take his conversation somewhere else. And when Williams said his Celtics teammates need him, just like he needs them, Smart also gave Williams a hard time.“Nobody needs you, Rob,” Smart called over.

xp lol jennifer
i feel like there are definitely some different things happening on offense, the biggest one being that mazzulla has convinced them to play fast and push the ball off of rebounds. this team should be terrifying in transition and they are finally using that advantage. i think they're also letting guys go to some of their preferred spots and play types a little more freely, like it seems like the marcus post up is an official thing and they're using that to play inside out with his passing skills. and lastly they're driving more--brogdon adds an awesome drive game and this is certainly the best tatum has ever looked as a driver.

kind of nitpicky since the celtics are currently lapping the league on offense but what is up with their defense, they were first in defrtg last year and theyre 22nd this, some of it is obvs rob is out and the guys getting minutes behind him kornet et al are not that good, and then theyve been going small a lot white or brogdon replacing rob in the starting 5, but still the effort just doesnt seem there, maybe theyre too good at offense to care about dirt dog defense now idk
― lag∞n, Saturday, 12 November 2022 13:35 (one year ago) link
they were not great defensively two years ago in brads last year too after a multi year run near the top, i figured they were just sick of brad but maybe it was defense they were sick of and the only thing that could make them care was ime calling them soft in press conferences

my theory about their perimeter defense is that they sag a little because they lack “rim protection” (sorry). everybody’s slightly worried they’re going to need to help inside so they don’t stick to their guys like glue out there, and give up a lot of uncontested or only semi-contested jumpers
― Tracer Hand, Saturday, 12 November 2022 14:38 (one year ago) link
yeah the big man rotation is def the... central problem, and i do think they should pickup a good backup defensive center when they get the chance, but also it just seems like the dog is not in them so far, theyre having such a nice time doing pretty offense
― lag∞n, Saturday, 12 November 2022 14:43 (one year ago) link
i thought their offense would be better this year what with adding brogdon and hauser to the mix but this is ridiculous they are really playing the shit out of the offense out there, have to think theyll cool down at some point but it does seem like theyve really found another gear, ball is moving really well creating tons of open looks barely seems like the opposing defense is there at all sometimes

― Tracer Hand, Saturday, 19 November 2022 19:07 (one year ago) link
idk they got ahead early and coasted both teams seemed weirdly gassed in the second half only thing that kept it at all close was a ton of celtics turnovers which is something they have really not been doing this year, will say that jaylen initiating the offense is not good now nor has it ever been hes not a good passer and has a tendency to turn it over when driving into a set d, theres really no reason to use him that way since they have so many guys marcus white tatum brogdon pritchard who can do it better, get jaylen the ball on the move while defense is in rotation on a kick out with a screen in the high post really anything but him just dribbling up top

all of these athletes and celebrities are basically cult members, completely in love with the idea of themselves as special, surrounding themselves with people who (for their own benefit) will reinforce that, it’s not a mindset that attracts the most curious people or demands any real introspection, this sort of thing is just a threat to the bottom line. which is why brown and the rest of the NBA players are loath to really criticize kyrie or support any sort of accountability: on some level of course they simply agree with what he’s saying, but on a more coldly economic level any holding of a player to account is a threat to their ability to make a lot of money.
obviously the specifics of the kyrie situation are a bit arbitrary and hypocritical coming from billionaire lizards like joe tsai, but it’s probably safe to not invest any moral energy in self-interested multimillionaire macho men either
― k3vin k., Tuesday, 22 November 2022 16:13 (one year ago) link
i would prefer honestly to never have to think about the politics personal behavior and so forth of any celebrity ever again i know some people enjoy that sort of thing finding an actor to judge or whatever but its really just more sound and fury imho, kryie def crossed a line where he was promoting uncut anti semitism to his millions of followers and for that i resent him it would be preferable if he could just be a somewhat normal level of lame dude, im not even demanding shut up and dribble here gordon hayward can endorse trump if he wants or lebron can conspire with obama to undercut the labor movement idc just dont be a full on thought leader for abhorrent ideas

tho tbh if a celebrities actions are bizarre or funny im wiling to entertain them, kyrie being the messiest bitch in the nba then burning sage upon his return to boston garden was legitimately newsworthy

thinking about how part of the celtic mediocre defensive numbers is prob the fact that theyve gotten out to a bunch of big leads then coasted til the end when they put the clamps on if they need to, they did totally shut down the famous kings offense when they needed to last night, that and the okc game are the only ones where iirc they really flipped the switch on d, but it does seem like they can if they want to, and getting rob back should help with that too

yeah agreed like the suns have the #2 offense and #4 defense but still have about the same net rating as the celtics, having a middle of the pack defensive rating is just circumstantial to the offense being an outlier

lmao from the athletic
He has come a long way from the player Marcus Smart remembered when Brown first got to Boston and was trying to do it all.
“A little story: When Jaylen first got here, he used to go 1-on-5, 1-on-4, just throw up some bulls—,” Smart said. “We would look at him like ‘Jaylen, what are you doing?’ And his excuse to us — or his reasoning was, ‘When everyone is telling me to slow down, the defense hears that, so I’m going to speed up.’ And we were like, ‘No, no, no, Jaylen, that doesn’t make any sense.'”

Celtics should rest Brown and Tatum both.Guys can I just say, I know it was the Wizards, but Kornet was AMAZING last night. Looked like the second coming of Kevin McHale down there.I also think that Horford might have lost a step on defense. Not sure about that - it might be deliberate for him to be sagging, but he just doesn’t close out 3s.In general the defense was good but then again, how in the hell did the Washington Wizards score 121??

everyone talking about how the celtics have "the best offense ever" but i really need someone to disseminate the relative to league average and quarter season data
― lag∞n, Wednesday, 30 November 2022 15:45 (one year ago) link
obvs a lot of this comes down to the just absolute hoisting theyre doing, 2nd in 3pt attempts and first in percentage which is a very winning combination, that will simply have to cool off horford is shooting 48% from 3 derrick white 45 which are both 10+ points over their career averages
but how much will it cool down maybe not as much as one might think, because it should be noted that the celtics are creating absolutely pristine looks, shades of 2014 spurs with constant player and ball movement excellent unselfishness and all around very wise basketball play, however befitting todays nba theyre more skilled than that spurs team, theyre playing five out but its not just a matter of everyone being able to shoot they can all put the ball on the floor and make plays too, which is pretty hard to defend, another thing theyre doing thats really good and can sometimes be hard for good ball movement teams is recognizing good opportunities and taking them, everyone is ready to go, they are very aggressive always attacking, theyre not passing up good looks
another reason their shooting might not dip that much is that their two highest volume shooters arent actually shooting well from 3, tatum and brown at both at 34%, which youd think will probably come up, also sam hauser a legit sniper is prob gonna get more minutes which will help with the nums
anyway its pretty cool to watch this nice team

And he went down the line, went down to JB, went down to (Marcus) Smart, said it was our responsibility and that if we want to be champions, if we want to get to that point, it’s a responsibility each and every night, and nobody’s gonna take it easy on us.”

Spurs center Jakob Poeltl has gained significant trade interest from teams such as the Toronto Raptors and Boston Celtics, according to league sources who, like all the other sources in this story, were granted anonymity so that they would be able to speak freely.
i would like to see them get and resign poeltl, rob + him at center al mostly at the 4 would be very nice, poeltl might want to start tho hes a starting quality player but if he doesnt mind playing behind rob hed be a very nice long term piece, tho having a bunch of money committed to centers isnt really considered smart nbaing these day but i guess if the celtics dont mind paying the tax who cares

― lag∞n, Friday, 20 January 2023 15:43 (one year ago) link
like just doubling curry in this situation seems like the best bet since dray isnt a good finisher but then steph will just pass it to him rolling to the rim and instead of trying to force a layup if one isnt there he will just play the famous warriors 4 on 3 halfcourt fast break and pick you apart with his excellent passing

with klay since hes not much of a dribbler you prob just switch it and hope for the best, prob the best play for curry too especially with the celtics since they have very switchable big men, i mean you dont really want horf on an island with steph but youre picking your poison there anyway

al did a good job on steph on the final possession of regulation tho! steph did not get a good shot even tho he had plenty of time and did not need to take a three, prob wouldve been better to just attack off the dribble right away and then see what happened from there, instead he dribbled out the clock and took a very bad shot

they didnt start brogdon tho haha one mans opinion
― lag∞n, Friday, 20 January 2023 16:08 (one year ago) link
celtics won on the offensive glass +10 which stands to reason since they played big and the dubs went small
fwiw i do think the way theyre using brogdon makes sense always have two of jb jt and brogdon on the floor and youve got a lot of offense out there, and keeping his minutes down in the regular season is good too
― lag∞n, Friday, 20 January 2023 16:10 (one year ago) link

dubs did pretty good going small in the finals but wiggins was a beast on the glass then and last night looked disengaged a bit. also had otto who is an extremely good small ball rebounder
― four square ups... no punches thrown (Spottie), Friday, 20 January 2023 16:15 (one year ago) link
its kinda funny the celtics have four very good guards but their best lineups are big, theres an imbalance there, think theyll prob try to add another big man cause starting horf and rob together either leaves you forced to go small some of the time or play kornet big minutes, add someone better who can play center and youve fixed the least flexible part of the lineup, and of course al and rob are known to miss games, then the only spot youre really not deep at is the wing but thats more acceptable since the jays will play big minutes in the offs
― lag∞n, Friday, 20 January 2023 16:18 (one year ago) link

― four square ups... no punches thrown (Spottie), Friday, 20 January 2023 16:22 (one year ago) link
it is hard but still i think the celtics should construct the perfect roster
― lag∞n, Friday, 20 January 2023 16:25 (one year ago) link
robs so good at getting in the mix for rebounds outside his zone, even if he doesnt get them he gets tons of tips keeps balls alive creates chaos and paranoia
the celtics big man thing is interesting, i would like them to find another guy but it's pure injury insurance for al/rob so how much do you invest in that? i guess they're not going to be any closer to a title than they are now.
― call all destroyer, Friday, 20 January 2023 16:26 (one year ago) link
if they got someone good like just for instance purtle or nance jr it would be more than insurance they could be in the rotation and then youre planning for a post or diminished horf future too, tho they could also just get someone cheap like plumdawg which would be more for the regular season and then some playoff spot minutes
― lag∞n, Friday, 20 January 2023 16:30 (one year ago) link
purtle isnt ideal since hes a pure center and rob is too and hes on an expiring and will want a dece contract which is something you dont really want to give a backup center but something like gallo pritchard a first and a second to a third team to take gallo since you cant trade him to the spurs kind of makes sense
― lag∞n, Friday, 20 January 2023 16:33 (one year ago) link
idk tho maybe plumdawg instead
― lag∞n, Friday, 20 January 2023 16:36 (one year ago) link
thing is its hard to put something together without including gallo and if you do youd rather it be for a actual good player since its kinda shitty to unload an injured free agent who took a discount to sign with you

Boston has been exploring the combined outgoing value of Danilo Gallinari and Payton Pritchard, sources said, as the Celtics search for center reinforcements. Two names of big men that match that outgoing salary: Jakob Poeltl and Mo Bamba.— Jake Fischer (@JakeLFischer) February 8, 2023
Danilo Gallinari can be traded to the Spurs. It's a bit of a loophole:SA couldn't re-sign Gallinari. But they can reacquire him via trade after waiving him, because he signed with another team.It's a weird situation, but the takeaway is Gallo can be traded to SA...again.— Keith Smith (@KeithSmithNBA) February 8, 2023
dont think either of these guys really make sense for them bamba is bad and poeltl is on the last year of his deal and will want starters money and minutes next year plus if you trade gallo you lose his injured player exemption which will come in handy in the buyout market when other teams can only offer the minimum
― lag∞n, Wednesday, 8 February 2023 21:10 (one year ago) link

I operate under this rule with the Celtics:If you hear about it ahead of a "The Celtics are..." report, then it's probably not happening.Boston does a really nice job working in silence.

The Celtics have made a league-best 19.5 3-pointers per game since Mazzulla said this. They’re also leading the league since then in 3-point attempts per game (45) and 3-point percentage (43.3). https://t.co/hsqj6Uw1SQ— Jay King (@ByJayKing) February 13, 2023

Derrick White has started the last 10 games in place of Marcus Smart, while the starting point guard recovers from a badly sprained ankle. In that stretch White has played his best basketball since joining the Celtics roughly a year ago.
White has averaged 19.4 points, 4.9 rebounds, 5.4 assists and 1.1 blocks. He’s also shooting 50.4% from the field over that stretch, including 47% on three pointers.

nekias on white
Among the 161 players to defend at least 300 pick-and-rolls, only Desmond Bane (0.22%) has been washed out by a screen at a lower rate than White has (0.26%), per Second Spectrum.
Put another way: Of the 760 screens that have been set on White, only 20 (!) of them have taken him out of the play.

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
― lag∞n, Tuesday, 11 April 2023 17:56 (eleven months ago) link
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
― call all destroyer, Tuesday, 11 April 2023 18:00 (eleven months ago) link
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

― lag∞n, Thursday, 13 April 2023 16:12 (eleven months ago) link
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— Steve Jones Jr. (@stevejones20) April 12, 2023

i dont really have any idea whats going on there havent seen anything reported, celitcs org is generally pretty measured and they just gave him a contract mid season so id think things would have to be pretty bad for him to be let go, but maybe they are bad idk
his bench was pretty thin with will hardy getting hired away in the offseason then stodimaire doing the same towards then end of the season so they do need good assistants, i wouldnt necessarily see it as an insurance policy if they need to fire him, but it could be
im not as down on him as a lot of people i like the way the celtics played this year thought they were prob a lil better than last years team, and mazzulla was put in a really tough spot with how/when ime went out

iirc they traded one of their firsts for brogdon then they got two 1sts from memphis for smart and sent one of their own and one of the ones they got for smart out for jrue
― lag∞n, Monday, 2 October 2023 19:54 (five months ago) link
cad telling me "get your fucking ass up and work. it seems like nobody wants to work these days"
my calculation of it all would be
celtics in:
porzingishollidayjordan walshfour future second round picks
celtics out:
smartr. williamsbrogdon2029 first (unprotected)
the two firsts for smart have been burned through: one was sent out in the holliday deal & the other was chopped up instantaneously into walsh and the four future seconds. from a picks perspective it's basically net zero here depending on how much you value the second round picks
so they're essentially out 3 rotation players and a future unprotected first this offseason. ok this is what i wanted to know.

ok sounds good lol
At the onset of training camp, Mazzulla mapped out a revamped “tribal” structure for his coaching staff. His assistants are assigned into groups of three or four to improve the equity in how coaches communicate with players and how ideas move up the chain of command.
“By the time we get to a full team meeting, we’ve already had a group of people argue, go over and talk about their philosophy and what they want to do,” Mazzulla said on media day. “Then it’s my job to tell them no, but it’s my job to listen to them. So I think just creating that environment of that tribal leadership, that togetherness, that ownership. It’s something that I’m really excited to do.”

jeff van on board
Now they can throw Jeff Van Gundy into the mix, who has been brought in as a senior consultant for all basketball matters. He’ll be operating behind the scenes, sitting in on player and coaches meetings to provide a bird’s eye view and unbiased perspective, according to Mazzulla.
― lag∞n, Monday, 16 October 2023 14:40 (five months ago) link
its crazy how jared weiss of the athletic is just transcribes what mazzulla tells him and calls it an article
That’s part of why Cassell makes perfect sense for Tatum. While there’s still room to grow his game, Tatum’s limit at this point of his development trajectory will be determined more by his mindset than skill. He needs someone there every day to remind him what it takes to lead a contender that actually goes all the way. If there’s anyone who will happily be in his ear every day, it’s Sam Cassell.

i'm not a conspiratorial type but this jvg thing is interesting--like all the talk about an unbiased perspective fly on the wall, anyone who's been part of any type of organization knows that's not a real thing. he's there because someone wants him to be there and to me the simplest explanation is they've pushed all the chips in on this team and there is a concern that the coaching staff isn't up to the challenge.

Same. I just sat through Blazers v Suns last night where PDX played what was close to an all-rookie lineup the entire game. At least half of them will be on two-way contracts and playing in the G-League this season. It was a weird mess of a game, but it let me see the deep end of the bench and try to attach unknown names to whatever on-court skills were on display.

thinking about the celtics subpar playmaking and how they didnt exactly address it with their offseason moves, marcus and jrue are prob similarly skilled playmakers and rob is a better passer than zinger, but then they did kind of address it obliquely by getting better at offense generally, like you can get better passers or you can get guys who create easier passes which is what they did, just as general offensive players jrue and zinger are much better than marcus and rob, they did lose grant and brogdon too tho both of them ended up being kind of inconsequential last year, but of course youd be happy to have them on your bench
― lag∞n, Tuesday, 17 October 2023 20:47 (five months ago) link
celtics were pretty good at moving the ball last year which might be enough considering their new firepower, also just trading a bunch of jaylen offensive initiations for jrues will be a huge upgrade, jaylen sometimes has problems just getting started, and marcus was a way underrated playmaker but he was such a bad scorer that he couldnt put enough pressure on the d for it to really matter much
― lag∞n, Tuesday, 17 October 2023 20:53 (five months ago) link

welllll the globe beat guy did report that the conversation between jvg and brad started with a potential coaching role and ended up with the consulting thing. of course this could be anyone's decision (the reporting was deliberately vague), maybe jeff wasn't ready to go back to the full grind with travel and stuff or maybe it was determined that he'd be too big a presence in the second row of bench seats. but sounds like coaching was definitely discussed.

― lag∞n, Wednesday, 18 October 2023 00:21 (five months ago) link
no it isn't, and i am sure a head coaching role wasn't on the table, but even as an assistant he'd probably just be too public of a presence. it would also fuck up charles lee and cassel who are on an upward trajectory and i'm sure want to be in circulation for future gigs.

re: the offense i think nate duncan's analysis makes sense to me, basically it might not be pretty but it should be effective because they should always have a mismatch somewhere on the floor given their size and skill.
― call all destroyer, Wednesday, 18 October 2023 00:33 (five months ago) link
having zinger as the third or fourth option is tough how do you help off of him hes already tall enough to shoot over almost everyone so how do you recover back to him and should you accomplish that he can put the ball on the floor
― lag∞n, Wednesday, 18 October 2023 00:36 (five months ago) link
he gets clowned a little because he's had a weird career, but he can really score and i'm crossing my fingers that everything he's saying about just wanting to play on a winner is real

xp seems like no one is really being ambitious about crazy switching anymore...there are certainly individual matchups where you would worry about him holding up but as you say they should have enough overall talent on that end.

athletic article partially about tatum getting more serious about post play today, posting up is kind of dead but its still good to have another way to score for a guy who gets so much defensive attention, and he could turn some post ups into very makeable jumpers once hes backed his man down too, force double teams kick it out etc, also i just like him playing physical drawing fouls and so forth, hes kind of a beast now needs to push the physical advantage he has over a lot of defenders
― lag∞n, Thursday, 19 October 2023 18:02 (five months ago) link
yeah for guys of his size and skill level it's a good way to conserve some energy while also being dangerous to score, pass, or get fouled. i think the thing where you start outside the arc and either do a suicide drive at the basket or shoot a 3 has diminishing returns over time.

old is new
Early on, the Celtics offense has transformed from one of the NBA’s most post-up-averse attacks into one of the most post-up reliant. Through a 4-0 start, they have used nearly seven more post-up possessions per game than they did last season, including possessions that end with passes out of the post. They entered Wednesday night with the third-most such possessions per game in the NBA (11.0), according to Synergy Sports. That put Boston ahead of Joel Embiid’s Philadelphia 76ers by one post-up chance per game and not far behind the league’s most post-up-heavy offense in Nikola Jokic’s Denver Nuggets.

celitcs mostly winning on talent so far but there are shapes of team play emerging, point jrue looks good, initiating the offense, as an outlet for double teams etc, not gonna happen but him and white should bring it up the court every time afaic, or at the very least keep it out of jaylens hands, jaylen consistently fucking up the most basic things initiating the offense is something you cant unsee once youre aware of it, jayson isnt exactly bad but he is pretty slow to get things moving, jrue and derrick are just much quicker on that
― lag∞n, Sunday, 5 November 2023 17:15 (four months ago) link
zinger was a menace guarding the 3pt line in crunch time last night, pretty foolish of the nets to challenge him like that when the obvious move was to drive, but they were behind and wanted those threes whatre you gonna do
― lag∞n, Sunday, 5 November 2023 17:17 (four months ago) link
would like to see more ball movement theyre way down in assist percentage, which is understandable theyre getting good shots anyway, have a bunch of guys who can create on their own, but theyd get even better shots with a lil more passing
― lag∞n, Sunday, 5 November 2023 17:20 (four months ago) link
one nice set they have done a bit is tatum bringing it up and jrue acting as the screener, great way to get jrue playmaking or driving with an advantage.
and obviously winning with talent at this point is encouraging, they're banking wins just by overwhelming teams with their starting 5 while they figure out how to play together, which cannot be said about other recently transformed teams like the bucks or suns
― call all destroyer, Sunday, 5 November 2023 18:30 (four months ago) link
yeah celtics roster is imo clearly more sound than those teams, partially because they have more quality guys and also cause the fit is good
― lag∞n, Sunday, 5 November 2023 19:30 (four months ago) link
theres that wing pick and pop theyd to with tatum and horford and now theyre putting zinger in it which makes it a uh lot more dangerous, zingers shot is so quick has deep range and hes 7-3, pretty crazy

yeah they are excelling in a very unorthodox way, they’re last in assist percentage on offense and second to last in turnovers forced on defense, also 17th in free throw rate offensively. so to say their talent has been overwhelming seems accurate, they’re shooting lights out and rebounding well on both sides too
― k3vin k., Monday, 6 November 2023 18:10 (four months ago) link
yeah theyre getting good looks i think they just put defenses in such a tough spot with their talent that they havent had to do too much, and theyve been scoring so well that on defense theyve been able to mostly just play solid without really ramping up the effort, but one would think they will need to do more on both sides eventually
― lag∞n, Monday, 6 November 2023 18:22 (four months ago) link
their numbers are off the charts but three of their five games have been close in the fourth and then there were two huge blowouts

porzingis isn't shooting as much as he has in the past but he's rocking a 55.8 FG% right now, his season best was 49.8 last year. if he can be a high efficiency medium volume safety valve that's really really great for their offense and opens up so much for other guys.

Sam Hauser can defend. He’s shooting lights out this season, so you might have missed it. Though it may not be apparent at first glance, he is a two-way player.
“I think he’s a much better defender than people think,” Mazzulla said of the white-hot Hauser. “I can’t say why because I’d get in trouble.”

was listening to the latest free episode of the dunc'd on podcast where they do a few mins on each eastern conference team. they do the celtics first if any of you beanheads wanna check it out. but my main takeaway from their discussion was that porzingis has essentially eliminated the midrange jump shot/long 2 from his game (i think they said it was down to 2% of his attempts this year). i think my biggest question w/ the trade beyond the health aspect was just that zinger was a malcontent the last time he was asked to be a complimentary player but it seems like maybe his time w/ washington scared him straight in terms of being run off of a good team bcuz he wanted the ball more
― slob wizard (J0rdan S.), Wednesday, 15 November 2023 22:18 (four months ago) link
i think too the fit was just weird in dallas, if youre gonna be a complimentary-ish player doing it while youre really in the mix of the offense for a contender is pretty different than being told to stand in the corner of a second round luka dominated team, also he learned how to post up where in dallas he was having trouble punishing small defenders, but yeah im sure having a year in dc to think things over didnt hurt, also defensively the celtics have personnel and scheme that makes much more sense for him he seemed genuinely happy when asked about how the celtics are using him defensively
― lag∞n, Wednesday, 15 November 2023 22:26 (four months ago) link
that series where he got benched in dallas they were playing a scrambling switch everything style which obvs is just not gonna work for him, tho his switches so far this year have been fine, but if the celtics were asking him to rotate all over the place hed break down, hes actually had more trouble just defending good centers straight up, bam cooked the hell out of him, and obvs he was hopeless vs embiid they didnt even try to have him as a primary defender, but generally against centers who have got game hes not strong enough
― lag∞n, Wednesday, 15 November 2023 22:32 (four months ago) link
flip side he is good around the basket great rim protection happening
― lag∞n, Wednesday, 15 November 2023 22:34 (four months ago) link
he is also just clearly much healthier. i feel like he’s a rare case of a super tall guy who was considered something of an athletic freak early in his career then suffered some leg injuries, surgeries etc but somehow just looks better and more natural moving around 10 years into his career than he did when he was 20 years old
― slob wizard (J0rdan S.), Thursday, 16 November 2023 01:10 (four months ago) link
having not watched him closely in a while i've been impressed at how fluid and active he looks. i do think some of these huge guys take more time to grow into their bodies, and they also probably figure out stuff about what strength and conditioning works for them as the years go by
― call all destroyer, Thursday, 16 November 2023 02:41 (four months ago) link
yeah he def seems like a mature player now playing at his own pace not forcing things game slowing down etc
― lag∞n, Thursday, 16 November 2023 02:53 (four months ago) link
of course thats easier to do when youre the third to fifth option
definitely--you made a good point earlier about how there are different flavors of being not the primary option, and he's obviously getting to do a lot more stuff here than he was in dallas, but it's all been within the flow of the offense
― call all destroyer, Thursday, 16 November 2023 02:58 (four months ago) link

4 years ago, Al Horford was so bad that the Sixers benched him for Furkan Korkmaz — and the team got vastly better.

one thing horf does really well v embiid is get his hand on the ball, which joel is vulnerable to, most guys when they defend him are just trying to withstand the physicality and get a contest but horf doesnt care horf is strong

to me it's pretty simple, he knows all of embiid's moves and is strong enough to go on the attack against them
― call all destroyer, Thursday, 16 November 2023 15:49 (four months ago) link
obv these are selected clips but you don't see any clips of embiid trying to use his footspeed to get past horf in that video. you don't get any sense that embiid has an athletic advantage over horford which shouldn't really be the case
― slob wizard (J0rdan S.), Thursday, 16 November 2023 17:56 (four months ago) link
seems like horford is just really comfortable when embiid is trying to score from the block, that's a brute force type area and horford can clearly guard him in a phone booth in a way most guys cannot. of course does embiid have the stamina to actually try and push off rebounds, play in space in the half court, dribble and move around a bunch, take contact etc kinda gets to the crux of embiid as a player
― slob wizard (J0rdan S.), Thursday, 16 November 2023 17:59 (four months ago) link
embiid doesnt really use his athleticism much he plays pretty slow, most of the time might as well be jokic out there as far as that goes, which could be a stamina thing
― lag∞n, Thursday, 16 November 2023 18:04 (four months ago) link
It seems to me to come down to Embiid's processing and how he's receiving the ball. When he receives the ball on the move and/or is quick and decisive, he generally has a lot of success. When he slows down and dribbles trying to decide what to do, he seems to give the defender more time to get set and is prone to turnovers. I think Horford's past success sometimes gets in Embiid's head and causes him to do the latter instead of the former.

celtics taking about half their shots from three, the highest rate in the league, seems like too much but kinda makes sense since their top seven guys are all ready to hoist at a moments notice, theyre also last in middy attempts which i guess stands to reason since theyre too busy taking threes, would like to see more layups and especially dunks the best shot

Porzingis had another big night on the defensive end. His size and length around the rim forced multiple altered shots around the rim. He also ended the night with three blocked shots. My favorite was a block that flowed into an impacted shot on the Raptors' second attempt around the rim.

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
― lag∞n, Thursday, 14 December 2023 17:24 (three months ago) link
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
― Humanitarian Pause (Tracer Hand), Thursday, 14 December 2023 17:28 (three months ago) link
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
― lag∞n, Thursday, 14 December 2023 17:30 (three months ago) link
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

player coach jaylen brown
“We had all guards, all smalls out there, so our advantage was speed, and that’s how I want to play all the time,” said Brown. “Like, let’s run on a made basket, on a missed basket. That’s what I’ve been trying to emphasize for our coaching staff and everybody all year.”
Brown called them “red zone attacks” as the Celtics were pressuring on defense to turn Orlando over for a season-high 14 steals and then flying in transition.

issue with celtics trades is matching salaries they have the grant williams $6.2m tpe which cant be combined with other contracts so they can trade for a guy who makes ~$6m, then you have this pupu platter which is about ~10m, so theyre limited to trading for pretty small contracts is what it boils down to, and idk if they really want to just throw in jordan walsh either

pritchard make $4m and hauser makes $2m but youd have to be getting pretty decent player back to put those guys in which seems unlikely as its hard to find a player good enough to warrent that kind of trade whos on a mid level type deal and when teams have guys like that they tend to keep them, more likely they pick up a borderline rotation guy or two for second round picks

i do like stewart but giving up any 2 of pritchard hauser kornet leaves a lot of minutes to fill, assuming horf and/or kp will inevitably miss some important games.
they may just have to roll the dice with the buyout market. that doesn't seem to have been as big of a thing in recent years but the team is pretty sound and it's not crazy to think that the level of piece they need could come available that way, though full disclosure i haven't given any thought to who that might be lol
― Lavator Shemmelpennick, Monday, 18 December 2023 18:41 (three months ago) link

last night 3rd quarter celtics were ahead by 10 then the raptors go on a run to get up 7 celtics look like theyre fading raptors have a 3 on 1 break but the 1 is tatum and he gets a steal that leads to a celtics bucket he then dominates the next five minutes scoring ten points rebounding blocking etc celtics end the quarter up 9 and coast to the win

yeah but his passing has noticeably improved this year, still not wonderful, thing that bothers me is hes very slow getting into offense so if he brings the ball up often half the shot clock will be gone before anything happens, but hey its improvement cant really ask for more

“I think we kind of glorify guys who can play one side of the ball, but we don’t really pay respect to people who guard and play defense and get deflections and steals and change the game in that area,” Brown said. “We only glorify people who can score because that’s what the NBA has marketed. But basketball is both sides.”
“Just putting pressure on them,” Brown said. “I think it makes them tired on the other side. There’s two sides of the ball, so being able to apply pressure on both, you’ve gotta be at a certain level of shape to be able to do that. So you want to put an emphasis on attacking and being aggressive at both sides of the ball.”

celtics have really been generating amazing 3pt looks recently, and doing it easily in the course of their daily business, theyre up to 6th in 3pt% where they were down in the teens most of the season, and they take the most 3s in the league, pretty nice, the much maligned drive and kick game is producing good team play
its an interesting choice to basically not challenge at the rim rather kick it out and look for the open man when the defense collapses, theyre 27th in rim attempts but 6th in rim percentage, seems like they could press the issue on a few more of those contested layups, on the other hand they are the #1 rated offense according to dunks and threes
and they take the fewest middies, which is interesting considering the jays are both known for those shots, a lot of the aforementioned kicking out prob replaces floaters which is nice, floaters are hard
― lag∞n, Thursday, 25 January 2024 16:08 (two months ago) link
re the drive and kick game mazzulla has said the issue with it getting gummed up in tight spots had more to do with the celtics not really having anything else they do beside just like dumping the ball to tatum, which was the inspiration for hunting mismatches in the post this year particularly with zinger, i think theyre up to second in post touches where they were way down at the bottom of the league last year, its an interesting way to look at it just having more modes you can play in so the defense cant figure you out, makes sense, particularly considering the celtics dont have an unstoppable guy like most contenders tend to
― lag∞n, Thursday, 25 January 2024 16:23 (two months ago) link
ha theres an article in the athletic today about that very thing
It was a glimpse of the Celtics’ newfound offensive flexibility, which should give them another tool during their matchups against the Miami Heat. That’s why, when asked what part of last season’s playoff series against Miami informed his approach to this season, Mazzulla pointed back to the Celtics’ win against the Rockets. With Boston set to play the Heat on Thursday, the topic was timely.
“Teams that are smaller, switchable, physical, do we have a different package to be able to go to?” Mazzulla said. “I thought the Houston game was the epitome of that to where we can play out of the post and we can play nail iso and we can force different types of matchups. So I think that’s the biggest thing, is as you get into the playoffs how can we find more easy baskets? How can we play more physical? How can we make matchups harder? Our post spacing is probably the thing we’ve done the most.”
The Celtics rarely posted up last season. They have done it more than any team except Nikola Jokić’s Denver Nuggets this season and have been extremely efficient with those opportunities. The Porziņģis acquisition, which brought in one of the league’s best low-post scorers, helped lead Boston in such a direction, but the change in offensive approach can also be traced back to the Eastern Conference finals loss to Miami. The Celtics offense, which scored a robust 117.3 points per 100 possessions throughout the regular season and even more than that over the first two rounds of the playoffs, lacked consistency throughout that series. After Jayson Tatum injured his ankle early in Game 7, the Celtics scored just 84 points while losing the deciding game on their home floor.

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

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

The Celtics have 3 80-point first halves since Jan. 30. From 1991-2023, they didn't have any!— Dick Lipe (@DickLipe) March 17, 2024

“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— Bobby Krivitsky (@BobbyKrivitsky) March 20, 2024

he was too competitive - they had to make a new rule
― Humanitarian Pause (Tracer Hand), Wednesday, 20 March 2024 20:19 (one week ago) link
his edge was too big it was unfair to coaches who cant block shots

maybe he can try doing a luke kornet contest instead?

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. pic.twitter.com/nFo8ZGWexd— CelticsUnite (@CelticsUnite18) March 21, 2024

The Celtics now have a 10.6 net rating when Jayson Tatum is off the court. That’s insane.— Jay King (@ByJayKing) March 23, 2024
think they were negative or barely positive the last few years

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

Their bench would be a credible NBA team imo
The whites - Pritchard, Hauser, KornetHorfBrissett as a, er, wing?
and then Tillman as your 6th man, with Queta there to spell Kornet

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

that was one ugly half of basketball. but damn that run of pritchard drives in the 3rd quarter was nice.

celtics have been playing with fire recently resting half their guys and also not playing d, finally got burned
― lag∞n, Tuesday, 26 March 2024 01:57 (three days ago) link
they can afford to lose some games right now and i'm fine with a little bit of rest, but they're still putting tatum out there for 39 minutes and brown for 37. in a loss. to the hawks. those are the kind of minutes that can come back to haunt you. and tatum was definitely not helping in those last few mins.

yeah i dont mind them resting and losing games cause of it but its better if its more normal
