CELTICS 2010

world is a fuck

Brad Stevens said Robert Williams is out tonight with turf toe. He’s meeting with specialists to see the best course of action. Stevens said Williams almost sat Wednesday. Isn’t sure what his availability will be over the next week. As Stevens said, turf toe lingers.

pretty insane given how big these next two games are that the heat and celts haven’t played since that payton prichard tip in which feels like half a decade ago. not sure how that’s possible

The Celtics have now allowed three 70-point first halves over their last five games.

not a great season for the ol boston celtics!

Big loss for Boston. Celtics say All-Star Jaylen Brown was diagnosed with a torn scapholunate ligament in his left wrist and will require surgery that sidelines him for the remainder of the 2020-21 season.

ffs

oh man wtf

the celtics have been healthy for like 10 games in the past five years i swear, maybe times to turn over the training staff idk

looking forward... celtics should tank lol

'scapholunate' is a new one for me

how does an nba guy get turf toe? do they practice on turf?

thats how the celtics get their distinctive green court

obvs a weird season in general for the nba but still i do think the celtics should be at least wondering thinking about if brad mightve run his course

Thought @JaredWeissNBA had some great points here about the Celtics lack of care and defensive intensity this season, so I looked into it a bit more:
The C's are 18th in defensive rating, and 19th in turnover percent this season, their lowest mark in 6 years
definitely not ideal https://t.co/tljIENbVHS pic.twitter.com/hcEN8u3OMI

im sure theyll at least give him another year, which is also im sure the right decision, but still

i think so yeah but the defense really is the difference this season and its not like they don't have the guys to do well on that end

yeah the team just failing to play defense is not a great sign for the coaching, but obvs very weird season so idk

i did catch them playing good D on occasion this season so i dont think they just forgot how to do it

theres this also

Somehow, this actually understates the impact COVID had on the team. Tatum missed “only” five games but was clearly impacted by the effects for at least a month more. Fournier was understandably awful for a period after his long absence with “brain fog.” https://t.co/uVpJkCBJ40

FUCK

Jaylen Brown had been grabbing at his left wrist since April 15 after an awkward fall against the Lakers. But that tumble against OKC seemed to bother him even more. https://t.co/VenjzRZtVg pic.twitter.com/g3SXhJc3Lm

lmao this kg oral history on the athletic

Clayton Wilson, former equipment manager: Every practice was like the seventh game of the Finals. (Former Wolves GM Kevin) McHale would come into my office before practice and ask me to cheer against KG to get the intensity going at practice.

I would say (to Sam Mitchell), “He can’t guard you, Sam! Bust his young butt, Sam! Kick that butt blue team or whatever team that wasn’t KG’s.”

KG would stare me down, swear, tell me to get my pom-poms out and then lock down Sam and start talking smack.

Then Sam would take his mouthpiece out and tell me to shut the fuck up. He had enough problems playing against the young fella without me getting him hyped. I would then go back to work, and McHale would give me a “that-a-boy.”

gold. looking forward to reading that. there must be a million KG stories of that caliber

Some "fuck you Kyrie" chants here at TD Garden late in this one. Also some "we want Tacko" chants so I guess it just kind of depends on what type of person you are.

brown had some serious restless leg syndrome on the sidelines

lol that's great

not impressed by his potato chips though, these are not an improvement over regular bbq flavor

crazy game from rob

Rob Williams joined Hakeem, Duncan, Dwight, Mourning, Bynum and Coleman as the only players with 10+ points, 9+ rebounds and 9+ blocks in a playoff game per @Sportradar. Only one to do it without a TO. He’s the 1st player ever with 9 blocks in under 25 minutes in a playoff game.

— Jared Weiss (@JaredWeissNBA) May 23, 2021

TO?

turnover

ahh

that’s an incredible stat!

wild stuff for sure love rob he is cool

this play was nuts just totally owned one of the greatest scorers

...joined Hakeem, Duncan, Dwight, Mourning, Bynum and Coleman

Which prompts the question, is Rob going to be a Mourning or a Bynum?

he only has to be a rob

anyway, a Bynum whose career isn’t destroyed by injuries isn’t such a bad comp!

good athetic piece on tatums evolving game

It shows up in Tatum’s finishing numbers, as he has gone from shooting 55.4 percent to 65.9 percent on shots within 5 feet, per NBA Stats. That trails only Giannis Antetokounmpo and LeBron James among non-bigs who took at least five shots at the rim per game.

lame

After finally being purchased by the Boston Celtics and then sitting out the truncated 2021 G League season, the Maine Red Claws are now officially the Maine Celtics.
