CELTICS 2010

this isn't a hot take but watching them shed all these guys is a reminder that the roster management last year was very, very poor

the bench was rough!

they had at least three 15th men, possibly more

lol

crazy

bullying works

Jayson Tatum on offseason bulk: “it’s part of me getting older; my body is just starting to change, as well as putting the work in.”

More Tatum: “I know people want to see me go to the basket more. I like the step-back jumper. It’s compromise. I’ll do what the people want.” pic.twitter.com/5n0yMdpTHx

refreshingly honest lol

lol

eat shit john adams

Takes little “talent” to play defense. Takes a wholelotta “want to”. Get every 50/50 ball. If you’re not quik defensively—get strong. Strength hides weaknesses. Take charges. Be a gr8 teammate. Compete. Never be ok w losing. No one remembers the 2nd US President. Only the 1st. https://t.co/98Lo5dkP9K

I'm conflicted. I hate the Celtics and love Marcus Smart.

If you’re not first you’re last

Jayson Tatum had been letting campers get up shots in 1-on-1 games. Then ruthlessly sent this poor kid’s shot to the moon. pic.twitter.com/CvTI5hkRq4

the celtics should reserve one roster spot every year for "a boston type guy"

Free agent guard Ryan Arcidiacono has agreed to a training camp deal with the Boston Celtics, sources tell @TheAthletic @Stadium. Arcidiacono, who spent his first four NBA seasons in Chicago, worked out for the Warriors this week.

i like it!

brad not too impressed with the roster hes put together

Brad Stevens believes this particular Celtics team will need to “rely on our competitiveness.”

hell yeah brother

just glad to have some different players to get annoyed at rather than the same ones again

kind of frustrating to get rid of thompson but bring kanter back

i have a fondness for kanter much of the time, except for all of the times when the other team has the ball

his tendency to miss wide open layups is pretty rough too

juicing the o rebound numbers lol

I gained a lot of respect for Kanter when he played through that injury vs the nuggets in the playoffs

i feel like his skillset is more important to your team than tristans at this point. sometimes you just need some buckets. tristan seems pretty washed to me.

theyre both pretty bad idk

tristan is deeply unlikeable is the thing

he was literally telling his teammates that the regular season doesn't matter, i don't see enes doing that

it's weird how kanter went portland --> boston --> portland --> boston, like i don't remember that kind of player movement happening much

maybe he is stuck in a time loop

coaches love da vets lol

Ime Udoka said Al Horford is making a “huge case” to start.

— Jay King (@ByJayKing) September 30, 2021

Al Horford says Jaylen Brown was right when he said Brown and Tatum’s relationship needs to be founded on respect to succeed: “You don’t have to be best of friends. They do acknowledge each other. They do respect each other and you can see that sets the tone.”

i have decided to become a schroder fan, please disregard all previous comments

Dennis Schroder pulled up to Jaylen Brown’s store opening and immediately did a kick flip. Brand still strong. pic.twitter.com/f7EBBt3kx6

in all seriousness great signing for the celtics for the money they got him

my kids say schroder is trash, this is entirely based on his stats in NBA2K

but have they given him a nickname???

good piece in the athletic today about horford making him feel welcome

https://theathletic.com/2860582/2021/10/01/how-did-dennis-schroder-end-up-choosing-the-celtics-it-started-with-al-horford-sliding-into-his-dms/

“Let’s get on a call,” Horford said, according to Schröder, “and talk about the Boston Celtics.”

On the phone, Horford laid out his recruiting pitch. He told Schröder his hard-nosed style would fit well in the Celtics organization and in the city of Boston. Horford emphasized that after needing to suppress his game in Los Angeles for a season, Schröder would be able to showcase his talents on the Celtics. As much as anything, Horford stressed to Schröder how badly the Celtics needed him.

“You’re going to have a big year here,” Horford said, according to Schröder, “because we know your value and we know how to put you in place to be successful.’”

“One big reason I chose the Boston Celtics was because of him,” Schröder said during a phone call Thursday evening.

I like to hear this, showtime Celtics would be fun:

Schröder has only gone through three days of practice with Boston, but likes the vibe he has gotten from the team so far. Once the season starts, he wants the Celtics to play an up-tempo style. Especially when he’s on the court with Tatum and Brown, he wants to push the pace.

“If I’m playing with them, we’ve gotta make it as fast as possible,” Schröder said. “We’ve gotta get down the floor, pushing the pace. I think that’s what fits me as well. I think Jaylen Brown was number one in fast-break points in the league. So I think helping him more get to his spots, get open. And Jayson Tatum, put him in the spots that he can be effective — and more effective. I think that will be great.”

you love to hear it

hell yeah

celtics have a lot of lineup options this year will be interesting to see how it shakes out

3 lock starters tatum brown smart
then the last two spots could be any of rob horf richardson schroder and nesmith/pritchard/langford might even get in the mix at some point

if i had to guess their opening night starters are rob/horf/jayson/jaylen/marcus

gotta love training camp

Jaylen Brown: “I feel lighter than ever, faster than ever, stronger than ever.”
