CELTICS 2010

In 44 possessions while guarding either Giannis Antetokounmpo or Jrue Holiday, Smart held the Bucks stars to six points on 2-of-7 shooting.

Five fourth-quarter minutes for this Celtics’ small lineup last night: Smart, White, Brown, Tatum, Horford. They outscored the Bucks 24-9 while shooting 8 for 9 from the field with zero turnovers.

made the shot

i re-watched that shot like a dozen times trying to get it to make sense, and it never did. literally unbelievable.

feel like that celtics small lineup can work going forward specifically when giannis gets tired late.

yeah was thinking the same with the whole bucks tired really

the playoffs are cool

With the Celtics trailing by double digits in Game 4, Ime Udoka went to a lineup he hadn't played all season long. The move helped change the tide in a remarkable comeback https://t.co/spWCqVA23T

waggling eyebrows wildly

Ime Udoka: "This is what we played for, why we played the season out, to have home court advantage in a Game 7. If you believe in the basketball gods, those things matter."

great quote from ime

i'm watching the second half now (afternoon games are a curse) and the biggest thing i see is that no matter what anyone wants to say about shooting disparity the bucks defense, particularly with tatum on the floor, was completely broken. the celtics could get an open three on every single possession. no ball pressure, no hard closes to shooters. tough way to make a living.

Very satisfying blowout

bucks weirdly came out from halftime and just kinda gave up

even giannis only had seven points in the 2nd half

yeah you don't feel him at all. but it was the bucks defense that really failed them. the celtics survive all of tatum's 3rd-quarter foul trouble which would be unthinkable a couple games ago.

After being a DNP-CD for Game 7, it sounds like Rob Williams will be back in action for the Heat series with 'no restrictions' https://t.co/7B9XkLrnAn

they should try winning the ECF this time imo

im all for it personally

A friend of my dad, who lives in Knoxville, writes:

Grant Williams may not have been the best player at UT. Can't forget Bernard King. But to me he was the most interesting, the smartest, most valuable player I ever saw there. He was a below-the-radar recruit in Rick Barnes' first year and became the heart of the team, the post/wing guy who ran the team, delivered the clutch shots, led them to the conference championship and missed the Final Four by two points when they were upset in the NCAAs by cinderella Loyal of Chicago. He was also the two-time SEC Player of the Year. But the NBA is a different thing. I was glad to see him go to the Celtics but I worried that he didn't have the size or speed and didn't really fit the NBA one-on-on style. But, according to what he said in the postgame press conference the other night, he worked his tail off learning to shoot the 3 (never did that in college) and waited for his time -- which evidently came this week. Really happy for him, very admirable guy.

Funny, a similar thing happened to All-American Dale Ellis at UT. He was buried in the post in Don Devoe's methodical, boring offense, went to the NBA and became the all-time 3-point champ (up until that time, of course).

And to cap off the big Celtics win, @Dwhite921 just became a daddy!!

Huge congrats and welcome to the world, Hendrix James White! pic.twitter.com/WuGxXwb81Z

The Red Sox are all wearing Celtics jerseys on the flight to Chicago. I support this. Austin Davis had the full uniform, shorts and all.

Marcus Smart & Rob Williams prayer circle to play:

i'm stealing this from somewhere else but had to share--tatum is in all likelihood going to end up playing the most minutes of anyone this season, potentially by a lot:

Tatum is second in total regular season + playoff minutes (3,334) behind Mikal Bridges (3,354).

Remaining teams' leaders:

DAL: Dorian Finney-Smith (3,254)
GSW: Andrew Wiggins (2,790)
MIA: Tyler Herro (2,525)

Remaining teams' stars:

DAL: Luka Doncic (2,776)
GSW: Stephen Curry (2,682)
MIA: Jimmy Butler (2,426)

thats a lot of minutes got to find a way to get him more rest next year

awww congrats to derrick. i have no idea where the hendrix trend is coming from but happy for all the new babies.

said during the game last night that they had the name picked out before he was traded, it was written

Rose Mary Johnson & Celtics legend JoJo White were inseparable as kids growing up on the same St. Louis street.

Johnson never knew she'd one day have a grandson, Jayson Tatum, who'd become the next great Celtic.https://t.co/2xKCQ6fG2N

Rob Williams on how angry Ime Udoka was when Klay Thompson hit a three late in the third quarter: "(laughs) You seen it. He was...yeah...you seen it. He was like 'Get up!' and I was like 'I thought I was up!' But yeah, he was mad."

lol whats going on here

Is Ime Udoka actually Gordon Bombay? Are the Celtics actually the Mighty Ducks? They’ve basically transformed from District Five. Also, they’re doing this at practice. Seems pretty Ducks ish. pic.twitter.com/BGbnS5VKpZ

— Jay King (@ByJayKing) June 9, 2022

gotta make sure you have that one down

Ime Udoka may have saved the Celtics with a key question during a timeout after his team had committed some bad turnovers. According to a source, Udoka stepped into the huddle and said, "Will you guys stop playing like assholes?"

Aaaaaand we have our coaching moment of the year.
