Kyrie, what’s it like when you’re in zone like that?

kyrie is so chill these days it's nice to see

it does seem peaceful endlessly swishing jumpers from the right side of the foul line

he makes it look so incredibly easy

you know who else had a good game its gordon hayward

15-5-5-4 on 4/8

he was pretty good, defensive timing still needs work but he made a bunch of hustle plays.

hes a good playmakers too man i didnt realize, its the perfect thing for this team actually

like they have kyrie and they have al as far as guys who can really run the offense, but al isnt really a break down the D and make a cool pass type hes more of a run a play type guy, if gordon can get into the lane and make good passes thats huge

aww

kyrie rules

After someone told him Happy Thanksgiving, Kyrie Irving left the locker room saying he doesn’t celebrate Thanksgiving.

“Fuck Thanksgiving.”

Maybe just having lost to the bloody awful Knicks had some bearing on that response.

puttin colonialism as #1, losing to the knicks a #2

hmm #2 might be being a cool dude

strong finish from "cool dude"

always bet on cool

celtis are last in offense in the first half of games and sixth in the second half

weren't the IT celtics similar like they were always down 8-10 at the half and then won

they should platoon another coach with Brad for first/second half

otm

They should let Horford coach the first half.

Kyrie is so close to becoming one with the singularity, dissipating into the cosmos and becoming our final overlord pic.twitter.com/fmzfKCiyDi

That’s some Smooth Criminal shit

Fake?

simmons said on his recent pod that the celtics starting lineup is the second worst in the league of all lineups that have played 100 minutes or so together

its a viral nike ad

this is an all-time NBA nickname pic.twitter.com/HLgVen8pmG

was just wondering if hed heard about that

concluded prob yeah

its with a heavy heart and much reflection that i say kyrie-marcus-jayson-marcus-al makes as much sense as any celtics starting 5

let jalyen and gordon goon out with the second unit, find some sort of form

btw its literally unbelievable how good marcus m has been this season

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.

it's sad to consider that there might be a different coach figuring these things out not too long from now

the celtics have 3 days off in a row this should be illegal

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

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"

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.

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

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 i thought of a way to explain marcus smart to the nation: small draymond
