major moments for the celtics this season, kyrie cutting his hair, kyrie hating colonialism

Kyrie Irving has been shooting 45% from three in 14 games since this moment, shooting 38.2% in 17 games before that. The Fuck Thanksgiving Celtics were 9-9 before and are 11-4 since. https://t.co/4qdfrG1ZKA

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.

chut up

for anti-colonial cred kyrie should have said "fuck Columbus Day"

this may come as a shock to you but colonialism relies on certain mythologies that may not upon examination be 100% historically complete

its is understandable tho that in the fog of pedantry you may have overlooked the fact that the event in question took place on thanksgiving not columbus day

anyway i suggest you embark on a speaking tour of indian reservations encouraging them to drop their distaste for thanksgiving in favor of disliking columbus day more, and never post in this thread again

great idea! but not until after I get the kinks worked out of this perpetual motion machine I've been working on.

Since moving Marcus Smart into the starting lineup on Nov. 26 the Celtics have a 20.3 net rating with Kyrie Irving on the court. That drops to -8.3 with Irving on the bench. Just insane splits.

Their net rating is -4.1 with Terry Rozier on the court during the same stretch.

wld be nice if jaylen brown and gordon hayward started playing good imho

they should wait until after the spurs game to play good tho

thats fine it doesnt have to be right away just like at some point before the playoffs

Still not worried about them quite yet. Maybe JB a little more cos last years success seemed to have a little flukey potential

happy new year to al horf

henlo i have a celtic opinion and it is that daniel theis AINT SHIT

celtics should maybe make a trade or something

gordon hayward is WAAASHHHHHHHHHHHHED

wow i appreciate yr guys concern and all

i want the c's to succeed

jaylen had a great game. an irving-brown-tatum-morris-horford lineup will be tough to beat if brown plays like that consistently.

btw belinelli scratched up both of kyries eyes tell that hoe to trim his nails

their starting lineup has been destroying teams since they went to it, jaylen shd play that way off the bench all the time tho

henlo i have a celtic opinion and it is that daniel theis AINT SHIT

hes been getting exposed by big postupable guys since baynes went down, but hes a useful player if he doesnt have to defend embiid et al hes just not strong enough

he just offered zero rim protection. spurs had a layup line going in the 3q.

that was not a great quarter for the celtics

they were playing great D at the beginning of the year but cldnt score now that their O is rolling theyve decided theyre not that into defensing

my idea is they shd do both

to quote famous celtic paul pierce “the third quarter is one of the most important quarters”

pp otm

top 4 at least

overtime also important but they do not always do it for some reason

nba doesnt want to pay time and a half if they can avoid it

Cs offensive rating by month:
October: 100.8(28th)
November: 109.4(14th)
December: 115.7(2nd)

the celtics don't really have a trade to make imo, this is the team.

their tradeable guys are either too important to this season or distressed assets right now.

ya unless they can get brow (legal not allowed to get him until the offseason)

seeing as theyve played both elite offense and elite defense this season i feel confident they can be an elite team

whats good also is that no other teams are playing great so far

big part of their recent defensive swoon is just horf and baynes being out/horf on a minutes restriction tbh

can see that.

yeah i'm not overly worried about defense if they can get back to full strength. they could use another depth big guy but who couldn't over the course of a full season?

prob get someone on the buyout market to fill the gaps

truly the golden age of sports infos

FWIW, Jaylen Brown just took the wrap off his right hand to finish his pregame routine.

Wild that Hayward has now had two 30-point games against the Wolves and no 20-point games against anyone else.

gordon getting buckets tonight driving slowly looking to pass and no one stops him so he just does a layup

wolves D is very bad

it's horrendous

celtics shot 60% w/o kyrie

trade kyrie
