CELTICS 2010

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fY6yAVlq5C4

nesmith looks like hes adjusting to the speed of the nba after playing on heels last year, pritchard romeo and grant all looking more comfortable out there in the preseason fwiw

pritchard obvs had a great rookie year but now hes just bombing 30 footers without hesitation and has been aggressive making plays too, dont want to read too much into the preseason but the celtics bench could be actually good this year, should at the very least be better than last seasons dumpster fire

pritchard looks great in every clip i've seen. reports from summer league saying he was in that clear tier of players who didn't need to be there were very exciting.

yeah he schooled summer league

i'm most fascinated to see if we finally get a sense of what romeo actually is as a player. i have no feel for that at all. beyond some of the good individual defense we've seen.

yeah he was a big time high school player, indiana mr basketball top 10 ten recruit and so forth, then has just been injured since

Marcus Smart, suspended for tomorrow night's game for breaking team rules, is "remorseful," according to Ime Udoka.

That's a rather big breach of the rules, tbh.

pritchard has "celtics fan favorite" written all over him

iow: white kid, scrappy attitude, good head for the game, not a pretty player but effective. did I get that right?

hes not actually that scrappy idk, going to be hard for anyone to break into the fan fave game with marcus around, you know who is actually extremely scrappy tho is nesmith

yes and i might also add "doesn't as of yet have much to say to the media and seems to be keeping his head down in public so far"

i mean i like pritchard a lot but hes a shooter with a pretty low key demeanor

he's apparently a super hard worker but it's all skills focused, like he's not a tj mcconnell diving on loose balls to make a living type of guy

in conclusion i think he has a chance to find a place in celtics fans hearts but i cant see him being really a favorite unless maybe he starts hitting a shitload of threes and getting steals or something, if he maxes out his ceiling there could be something there

reasonable

“People are sleeping on Boston. The Celtics are deep, with the makings of a top-5-ish defense; lineups featuring Marcus Smart, Jayson Tatum, Jaylen Brown, and Robert Williams III will be hard to score against.”

zach has gotten a little loopy with some of his analysis but i agree w/that assessment of their defense

"irish eyes are smiliiing"

Grant Williams will join Jayson Tatum, Jaylen Brown, Marcus Smart and Robert Williams as the Celtics starters tonight at New York.

horf out with covid but based on this lineup seems like hell prob be starting next to rob when he returns

some of that is prob political not sure how much time theyll actually run two big lineups but i do like the idea of them having smart-jaylen-jayson at the 1-2-3 thats a lot of size and strength for other teams to deal with on the perimeter

seems like udoka will be running a pretty different offense than brad good piece in the athletic today about how theyll be running more of the offense through tatum try to get him the ball closer to the basket and let him make reads from there, does seem like hes ready to be more of a bruiser

athletic piece is really encouraging, glad jayson decided to listen to us and get huge.

yeah getting yoked is sick, really a no brainer

also looking forward to seeing udoka work, feel like he has the celtics mindtype, would love to see this team play very scrappy physical basketball

udoka playing a lot of guys even with horf out still have not seen richardson tho

ball movement looking very good :)

tatum cannot hit a shot which means hell score 30 in the second half

marcus looking for rob on the oops very nice

romeo is good now i guess

-- juliet

lol

Marcus Smaaart

Did not take long for letting Fournier and Walker go to look like a good move lol

lmao brown dunk brick

This game got really ugly real fast here in 2OT

welp lol

Knicks didn’t deserve to win with how they blew the game in regulation, but Cs equally undeserving with that series of missed layups and Jaylen’s dunk in 2OT.

Anyway ball movement, prominent role for Rob all good stuff. Excited to see this team with Tatum not having a serious off night

horf back will be good too hes such a stabilizer

this c's starting 5 is spicy as hell

muy caliente

picante

woww ok

massive gtfo block by rob on van vleet

that was pretty funny everyone was looking at him like dont you see rob standing there

btw the celtics seem to be using the starting lineup i was told by people itt that they would not

theyre playing an all bench unit now not so sure about this

i was way out in front on playing al and rob together ftr

glad we have some celtics line up understanders itt
