After someone told him Happy Thanksgiving, Kyrie Irving left the locker room saying he doesn’t celebrate Thanksgiving. “Fuck Thanksgiving.”— Jay King (@ByJayKing) November 22, 2018

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"

celtis are last in offense in the first half of games and sixth in the second half
― lag∞n, Thursday, 22 November 2018 16:57 (five years ago) link
weren't the IT celtics similar like they were always down 8-10 at the half and then won
― ciderpress, Thursday, 22 November 2018 18:58 (five years ago) link
they should platoon another coach with Brad for first/second half

otm
― lag∞n, Thursday, 22 November 2018 20:53 (five years ago) link
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— Holiday Mickstape (@MickstapeShow) November 23, 2018

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

was just wondering if hed heard about that

concluded prob yeah
― lag∞n, Tuesday, 27 November 2018 06:02 (five years ago) link
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
― lag∞n, Wednesday, 28 November 2018 18:20 (five years ago) link
let jalyen and gordon goon out with the second unit, find some sort of form
― lag∞n, Wednesday, 28 November 2018 18:23 (five years ago) link
btw its literally unbelievable how good marcus m has been this season
― lag∞n, Wednesday, 28 November 2018 18:29 (five years ago) link
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.
― fact checking cuz, Wednesday, 28 November 2018 19:39 (five years ago) link
it's sad to consider that there might be a different coach figuring these things out not too long from now
― k3vin k., Wednesday, 28 November 2018 20:01 (five years ago) link
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
― 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
― lag∞n, Wednesday, 28 November 2018 20:16 (five years ago) link
btw i thought of a way to explain marcus smart to the nation: small draymond

brad is nice!
― lag∞n, Wednesday, 28 November 2018 20:29 (five years ago) link
very nice, apparently too nice to coach egos. shame really.
― Spottie, Wednesday, 28 November 2018 20:35 (five years ago) link
everyone just needs to be nice like brad
― lag∞n, Wednesday, 28 November 2018 20:36 (five years ago) link
in all seriousness tho every celtic except marcus morris started off the season looking like they just took a very long nap and theyve started to get on track one by one kyrie al and jayson are all doin stuff now i think its headed in the right direction
― lag∞n, Wednesday, 28 November 2018 20:39 (five years ago) link
also worth noting the celtics have had the hardest sched in the league played a ton of road games etc, all the computer rankings still like them (tho not at a champ level)
― lag∞n, Wednesday, 28 November 2018 20:40 (five years ago) link
i still think theyll be fine but we gotta get these jokes off in the meantime
― Spottie, Wednesday, 28 November 2018 20:45 (five years ago) link
yeah i feel confident theyll reach a level of fineness, but really they need to get it to clicking if they wanna make some noise
― lag∞n, Wednesday, 28 November 2018 20:46 (five years ago) link
also imo there are legit concerns about brads offense, some sort of mini kerr type drama, like why really fuck w all this ball and player movement when u cld just destroy teams by running the kyrie/al pnr 50 times a game
― lag∞n, Wednesday, 28 November 2018 20:48 (five years ago) link
they cld use a second very attacking ballhandler too tbqh
― lag∞n, Wednesday, 28 November 2018 20:49 (five years ago) link
started to get on track one by one
have had the hardest sched in the league played a ton of road games etc
how does the knicks game fit into this theory?
― fact checking cuz, Wednesday, 28 November 2018 20:51 (five years ago) link
rozier has been legit awful. i checked his stats cos it seemed like he had such a good season last year but dude still shot 39% yikes.
― Spottie, Wednesday, 28 November 2018 20:52 (five years ago) link
yeah hes not a good scorer, can hit a catch and shoot 3 but is hopeless driving, just cant find makable shots inside the arc
― lag∞n, Wednesday, 28 November 2018 20:53 (five years ago) link
also continually does that horrible thing where he gives up on a drive when he has a half a step on his guy
great defender tho
― lag∞n, Wednesday, 28 November 2018 20:54 (five years ago) link
this is true! it's also the sequel to mr bungle iirc
