CELTICS 2010

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.

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.

logo is kinda nice tho lol

super lame

xxp that's amazing about Tatum. Obv he's been great in the paint but that's some heady company - his game relies on skill and finesse a lot more than Giannis and Lebron who are such physical beasts (not to say they don't have skill and finesse)

he really seems to have an elite ability to work on his game

wow I love that green cartoon lobster shooting a hook with my entire heart!

Larry Bird, Tracy McGrady, and Carmelo Anthony each had four 50-point games in his career, including the postseason. Jayson Tatum has had four since April 9 if you include the play-in tournament.

— Jay King (@ByJayKing) May 29, 2021

kinda depends on who else is on the celtics next year but seems like tatum will prob be in the mix for the scoring title next year

As enjoyable a game as you could ask for last night but finding it hard to believe Boston can win more than one more against the Nets.

xp i think beal is gonna be hard to outdo in his current situation

50 point games have been more common since high volume 3-point shooting became the norm, so direct comparisons with players whose careers preceded this era are not entirely appropriate. just the raw fact of four 50 point games in two months is plenty impressive all by itself without dragging bird, melo and mcgrady into it.

no different eras are directly comparable

bird melo and tmac were all bums

they should avert their eyes when in the presence of jayson tatum

As enjoyable a game as you could ask for last night but finding it hard to believe Boston can win more than one more against the Nets.

given their current state its pretty wild that they got one that wasnt just a 3-0 gift, if they win two well that reflects poorly on the nets

dwight howard is better than michael jordan was. people who truly understand basketball know this
