CELTICS 2010

he was short on everything so def some kind of fatigue issue

being tired makes him pass good tho i guess, he should see if he can figure out how to do that when hes not gone off the vaccine

mike gorman tonight "celtics play the nets tomorrow kd is listed as questionable, kyrie is undecided" lmao

hahah that's classic mike

B2B 3/17fg games for Tatum yikes

luckily all of the suns except for cp3 were playing at about that level tonight lol not a super great game

wonder if tatum is just super susceptible to covid, got a bad case of it, and maybe is now still feeling the effects of the vaccine

i love jayson and just want him to feel better. let's keep things upbeat and watch romeo destroy this transition opportunity not once but twice

Really nice defensive work from Romeo Langford here in transition: pic.twitter.com/nPbuNh6Gsd

romeo having a weird career arc so far scored tons of points in high school was a top recruit, played through injury his one college year and slipped a little bit down to the teens in the draft, has been mostly injured through his first two years in the league, when he has played hes shown basically nothing on the offensive end but has somehow been total defensive phenom from day 1

also entered the game wearing his warm up shirt tonight

yes, it's unlike anything i can remember. he's a natural at on-ball defense which was somehow never a talking point when he came out of school.

one of the celtics athletics guys did a story recently about him and sounds like the celtics would like to use him as an evan turner type who can handle the ball and direct some offense without being a great shooter. that's a tough needle to thread, but if he keeps making plays on defense they'll just need to find ways to get him out there.

yeah i would recommend he just go ahead and learn to shoot

it has to be tough, there isn't much developmental space on this team for a guy to learn how to play on-ball. but he plays hard and seems to be happy to be out there.

yeah also being all the time

injured

yeah having wrist injuries when you're supposed to be learning to shoot isn't ideal

Much appreciated! Little known fact, I wore the high socks back in the day so my mom could identify on the TV easier 🤣🤣 https://t.co/iYPiA7fqDi

ha thats great

easily nesmith's best game tonight, looks like things may have slowed down for him

yeah even his shot is looking better after just seeming out of rhythm all year

yes that was great, tried to get someone else to pick him up and then said oh well i'll do it myself

what in the world

tried to find out what he said but didnt find anything

"oi mate - you can stick it up your jacksie"

jaylen chasing that 50/40/75 season rn

Quick thread on Jaylen Brown:

We found out Jaylen was asked by C's staff to shoot more 3's on 3/22/21. Before then he was shooting 6.5 3PA at 38.8%, since then, he's shooting 8.3 on 42.6%.

However, prior, he was averaging 3.9 apg, and now that is down to 2.2apg. Makes sense considering his playmaking reads in mid-post were where he showed most growth as a playmaker.

interesting! who is the tweeter? anyone i should know?

also timely because i thought to myself that jaylen was really bombing them last night

dont think ive seen that guy before, do recall hearing about the celtics telling jaylen and jayson to stop taking so many midrange shots tho lol

this is all i could find but pretty sure there was something out there about the jays getting a talking to

Brad Stevens on the Celtics shot profile: “It’s gotta improve.”

Said that doesn’t just mean shooting more 3s, but layups and dunks too. He thought “almost all” of the Celtics 3s today were the right shot at the right time.

hmm, i think i'm going to follow him regardless based on this tweet

I will just remind the NBA media that there is a very distinguished award called "All-NBA" and not every great player having a good stretch needs "MVP Love." https://t.co/yDkD489Y7M

lol yes, there does not need to be more than like 3 people in the mvp race

i agree with that and would list them as Jokic/Embiid/Paul

chris paul is simply not having nearly a statistically mvp caliber season, 16-5-9 49/39/93 lol cmon, anyone crediting him with total responsibility for the suns record should consider that they won every one of their games in the bubble

yeah I love paul but I don’t think he’s be one of my top 10 candidates

i’ve heard paul for mvp at least twice in the discourse recently although one of those was one of the goober ex-players during a broadcast

goober otm

hell yeah baby

celtics are so much better with rob

pls stay healthy rob

they celtics have been so careful with their guys health this year which the particularities of this season considered is probably wise now lets see what they got

shorten the rotation play the guys get rolling IMHO

maybe even let kemba play a back to back is that crazy

i haven’t really paid attention to playoff seeding but if they needed some wins to secure a spot out of the play in or something i’d think about it.

theyre a game out of 5th and two out of 4th, and both the teams ahead of them knicks and hawks have been playing well, getting one of those spots and avoiding the easts big 3 in the first round would be good, also getting some reps/getting rolling would be good too

tatum
brown
kemba
smart
rob
-----
fournier
pritchard
thompson
nesmith

not that bad!

brad has shortened his rotations a few times this year when they were struggling and needed a win, including wednesdays game where he played 8 guys, so he def knows its possible
