nice play just now to ice the nets game--they beat the press and settle down, smart slow plays a pick and roll with tatum who immediately hits derrick white for the corner three. everyone was really on the same page.

one of those not that well played but fun games both teams playing grimy

yeah, that stretch where the celtics second unit made some moves was a lot of fun
― call all destroyer, Friday, 13 January 2023 02:48 (one year ago) link
yeah good game for the bench celtics needed it

The Celtics are now 7-0 with a +12.3 scoring differential......on back-to-backs.That's kind of nuts.— Sean Grande (@SeanGrandePBP) January 13, 2023

and i think they suck after several days off? it's a strange pattern.
― call all destroyer, Friday, 13 January 2023 03:05 (one year ago) link
yeah theyre worse the more time off they have lol maybe theyre getting up to no good on off days

lol i would think that with some other teams but these guys are like the least partying group i can think of! not hating, i'm sure they enjoy a nice time but i don't get the sense that anyone on this team rages.

have to agree with scal that 4 out with rob is better offense than 5 out

it's definitely better against the hornets, god it's easy to score at the rim against these guys
― call all destroyer, Monday, 16 January 2023 18:52 (one year ago) link
it's also easy to get corner threes against them
― call all destroyer, Monday, 16 January 2023 18:53 (one year ago) link
they should try defending high percentage shots imo

shams https://theathletic.com/4098049/2023/01/17/nba-trade-deadline-poeltl-collins-vanvleet-shams/
Spurs center Jakob Poeltl has gained significant trade interest from teams such as the Toronto Raptors and Boston Celtics, according to league sources who, like all the other sources in this story, were granted anonymity so that they would be able to speak freely.
i would like to see them get and resign poeltl, rob + him at center al mostly at the 4 would be very nice, poeltl might want to start tho hes a starting quality player but if he doesnt mind playing behind rob hed be a very nice long term piece, tho having a bunch of money committed to centers isnt really considered smart nbaing these day but i guess if the celtics dont mind paying the tax who cares
― lag∞n, Tuesday, 17 January 2023 20:48 (one year ago) link
ideally it would be better to get someone who can play the center and pf tho a nance jr type but im not if those are available, also poeltl is good at what he does

the first celtics coach i was conscious of, seems like everyone who met him liked him
RIP Chris Ford: a player who got everything out of his natural ability and as unpretentious and normal a human being as any coach I’ve ever known. He was like your next door neighbor who just happened to be going to work at the Garden. And, yes, he made the first NBA three.— Bob Ryan (@GlobeBobRyan) January 18, 2023

Joe Mazzulla takes us inside the riveting conversation with Jayson Tatum deciding he would play almost the entire game: "I looked at him, he looked at me, and we just kinda said yeah. So that was it."— Jared Weiss (@JaredWeissNBA) January 20, 2023

Love Joe but it does feel like the players are running the show a lot of the time
Just caught the end of that game.. It was Horford's night. Just outstanding. And to think I was writing him off in my head a few days ago! Getting creaky, beatable inside, three-pointers his only move... nuh uh.
― Tracer Hand, Friday, 20 January 2023 09:52 (one year ago) link
yeah he can still step up when he wants to i guess

tatum had 19 rebounds thats crazy he really can do it all

that game was like a defensive battle except if the teams werent actually playing that good d
― lag∞n, Friday, 20 January 2023 14:49 (one year ago) link
seems like by now the league should have figured out dray's little handoff move where a guard curls around him and he screens just long enough for them to pop a shot off, but no

defending steph curry is hard
― lag∞n, Friday, 20 January 2023 15:35 (one year ago) link
and klay too but steph is just extremely problematic in that action, and then youve got drays passing off the short roll to deal with too
― lag∞n, Friday, 20 January 2023 15:43 (one year ago) link
like just doubling curry in this situation seems like the best bet since dray isnt a good finisher but then steph will just pass it to him rolling to the rim and instead of trying to force a layup if one isnt there he will just play the famous warriors 4 on 3 halfcourt fast break and pick you apart with his excellent passing
― lag∞n, Friday, 20 January 2023 15:47 (one year ago) link
noticed marcus trying to do a crazy spin move under the pick with his arm shooting out at the end of the spin to contest which just seems hopeless to me but whatre you gonna do the warriors will make you try things
― lag∞n, Friday, 20 January 2023 15:49 (one year ago) link
with klay since hes not much of a dribbler you prob just switch it and hope for the best, prob the best play for curry too especially with the celtics since they have very switchable big men, i mean you dont really want horf on an island with steph but youre picking your poison there anyway
― lag∞n, Friday, 20 January 2023 15:51 (one year ago) link
al did a good job on steph on the final possession of regulation tho! steph did not get a good shot even tho he had plenty of time and did not need to take a three, prob wouldve been better to just attack off the dribble right away and then see what happened from there, instead he dribbled out the clock and took a very bad shot
― lag∞n, Friday, 20 January 2023 15:54 (one year ago) link
steph had an extremely bad 4th quarter

they wanted it. first time starting the small lineup, tight rotation. good game high stakes... but mistakes were made in the 4th.
― four square ups... no punches thrown (Spottie), Friday, 20 January 2023 16:02 (one year ago) link
yeah both teams wanted it used serious rotations neither played super good but fun game anyway def some playoff vibes

wasn’t it also the first time celts started their best 5 guys?
― Tracer Hand, Friday, 20 January 2023 16:06 (one year ago) link
they didnt start brogdon tho haha one mans opinion
― lag∞n, Friday, 20 January 2023 16:08 (one year ago) link
celtics won on the offensive glass +10 which stands to reason since they played big and the dubs went small
fwiw i do think the way theyre using brogdon makes sense always have two of jb jt and brogdon on the floor and youve got a lot of offense out there, and keeping his minutes down in the regular season is good too
― lag∞n, Friday, 20 January 2023 16:10 (one year ago) link
lol if mazz starts brogdon over smart the seismic waves would be felt all the way to chicopee

dubs did pretty good going small in the finals but wiggins was a beast on the glass then and last night looked disengaged a bit. also had otto who is an extremely good small ball rebounder
