CELTICS 2010

is this shade

“We’ll go back and look at some of [Kemba’s] drives and how we can space the floor better,” Stevens said. “I think we all can do a better job for him. That’s what we all will focus on. That’s what I’ll focus on, because I know he’s going to focus on himself.”

tristan has been awful i hate him

Here are the 5 players with the highest FG% AGAINST them when they are the primary defender (Min 400 defensive possessions):

1. Tristan Thompson (57.6%)
2. PJ Dozier (55.7%)
3. Thaddeus Young (55.6%)
4. Enes Kanter (55.1%)
5. Russell Westbrook (53.9%)

and hes taking minutes from two superior centers

his mind moves slow, he is not a baller, he never just makes the obvious kick out after an offensive rebound

free rob

Robert Williams III C PER 23.80
Tristan Thompson PF PER 13.51

Robert Williams III C MPG 14.9
Tristan Thompson PF MPG 22.7

tristan is (was?) great at one thing and one thing only.

i thought he was good or at least alright defender but the league might be too fast for him now

he’s pretty good at putting the ball in the hoop from 2 feet away tbf

hes not even!

yeah i was hoping playing for a good team would rejuvenate him but he's such a stiff these days. i think he belongs on the second unit at best.

can't remember the timeline, did danny already know hayward was gonzo when he signed tristan? if so, inexcusable

thompson is deeply lead footed for sure, would really have loved to see steven adams on this team.

did danny already know hayward was gonzo when he signed tristan?

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

feel like every three nights or so an nba team just says hey let's not guard the corner three tonight and that was toronto in that game.

they were really coming with those double teams, too much obvs

celtics this season are playing like (checks notes) a .500 team.

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

i think semi can be a guy who hits open 3s his stroke looks much better this year, theis shooting is looking good too after being totally weirdly shook last year, i mean theyve got shooters tatum kemba brown and pritchard are all guys who can hit all the types of 3s, and then pretty much the rest of them except for centers and green can hit an open look probably at least enough of the time

an absolutely knock down guy whos always running around off screens and whatnot would be good tho, im sure thats what they picture nesmith doing but hes not ready yet

carsen has shown flashes of doing that i guess but seems unlikely hell ever be more than like an 8th man at best

he seems like a guy who really needs to see the first one go in.

yeah also not sure if he has too much of the basketball iq

lol russ at the end of that clip

joker bout to score 100 points

Celtics have downgraded Daniel Theis to OUT with a right index finger sprain tonight against Jokic and the Nuggets. Big night for TT to establish his value to the team.

yikesies

might sit this one out lol

lol why is the nba web site such trash

yeah its really bad

i hate this charade of self flagellation, the celtics are losing cause theyve had a bunch of injuries and their bench is trash, is simple maths you give bad players a bunch of minutes and you will lose

i wonder if that's from the same press session where he mentioned that he's still feeling some covid fatigue

yeah i think so

celtics were so mad at traes foul drawing shenanigans lol

Hope Trae Young is okay 🙏 Not sure how Jaylen Brown wasn’t ejected, but there’s no place for fouls like this in the NBA pic.twitter.com/c4FDeHBXWn

referee work this year has made the transition from impressionism to dadaism

lol, i know trae does some genuinely good basketball stuff, but he's basically my most hated nba player.

Aaron Nesmith was shocked by how big Tacko's shoes are, but Jeff Teague knew exactly what to do...

atlanta never figured out that if theis was in the high post he was going to drop off to thompson in the low post for a dunk or vice versa

if nesmith can start hitting shots like he did in uhh 14 games of his sophmore season of college (tbf the ft% was also good https://www.sports-reference.com/cbb/players/aaron-nesmith-1.html) celtics mightve found a guy

Since entering the rotation on Sunday, Aaron Nesmith has a +18.6 net rating (team-high). The reason? Boston is allowing just 91.8 points per 100 possessions in the 93 minutes he’s on the court. https://t.co/IPHrQGqX3I

hes obvs just not comfortable in the pro game yet as far as the bad shooting goes clearly out of rhythm/not sure what hes supposed to do, feel like he must be shooting well in practice to be getting these minutes, wld make sense to get him more time in that case
