CELTICS 2010

proof that he's the best defensive player in the nba.

(Aimless mentally compares Smart to Rudy Gobert)

you have a point

damn that around the back dribble was smooth and tight.

game 4 and game 6 of the 2008 finals on ESPN tonight, truly anything is possible

ray allen had so many big rebounds in game 4! played great defense too. i think his all-around game is somewhat forgotten--he had no weaknesses to speak of.

this is the sasha vujacic game! i forgot.

yeah ppl think he was just a shooter he averaged 26 one year and 25 the year before with 4 and 4 he was a star

game 6 now. 58-35 at halftime. just an absolute shitkicking at this point. the 2008 celtics were really good!

that team wins multiple rings in the vast majority of simulations run one has to think

it's interesting if you look at it....pierce/garnett/ray were all between 30 and 32 in '08 so right at the point when you expect some declines to start. they also had a hard time finding bench guys after this season. in particular they never found another posey.

but yeah, if you take '08-'09 and '09-'10 together and think about the odds, in most scenarios they should have gotten another one.

even the next season after too they started out rolling then garnett got injured

of course i remembered that the '08 celtics had to go to 7 games in the first two playoff rounds because i was watching those games and was immensely frustrated. i had forgotten that the lakers had basically rolled in 4, 6, and 5 games through their series. interesting now because this lakers team has some holes! outside of kobe, pau, odom, and derek fisher (really gritting my teeth on that last one) this is not a great team at all.

in most scenarios they should have gotten another one

Count yourself lucky. The 1977 Trail Blazers should have had a repeat title at the absolute minimum. Probably a three-peat. Shit happened. They've never had a second title.

perkins going down in game 6 in 2010 was the beginning of the end of everything.

prob jaylens best game makin it look easy

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rHc8-fTxJ4M

his handle had gotten so much better this season. that iso around 3:00 where he puts thybulle in the mix and easily gets to his spot.

hes improved so much since coming into the league its nuts, he had a bunch of stuff that needed serious upgrade and hes pretty much checked every box

like his jumper was authentically bad

yup. he's unrecognizable from his rookie year.

bodes well for the future as a guy who continues to work on his game

After years of looking for this particular game, I almost gave up hope I will ever find the moment when Tommy Heinsohn compared Greg Stiemsma to Bill Russell.

everyone loves marcus

did tatum get a hoop at his house finally

pretty good analysis of jaylen, needs to work on playmaking, pullup 3s, help D

one part that kinda made me lol and rmde tho was when the guy said hes not even that good of a finisher he just finds easy layups like thats not a good thing, lil bit of not seeing the forest altogether tbh

An important takeaway from Trey Davis' music video: Marcus Smart goes hard on mini hoops.

ha yes nurture that resentment jaylen let it fuel your dominance

wob gotta stick to just clips of funny stuff

that tweets pretty funny tbh

good series on one of the celtics main offensive sets from this season

thinking abt how bad the celtics whiffed on the last draft and how bad they could use some guys who could play any minutes

if i were danny ainge i simply would have drafted brandon clarke

tough to find a rookie who can play in the offs. brandon clarke did seem like a smart pick at the time tho.

next year they will be 2nd year players thoooo

i would like to register my disagreement w/steve bulpett getting laid off by the herald.
