CELTICS 2010

The Celtics have made a league-best 19.5 3-pointers per game since Mazzulla said this. They’re also leading the league since then in 3-point attempts per game (45) and 3-point percentage (43.3). https://t.co/hsqj6Uw1SQ

threes

leading the league in attempts and percentage thats they way to do it baby

pretty good

Derrick White has started the last 10 games in place of Marcus Smart, while the starting point guard recovers from a badly sprained ankle. In that stretch White has played his best basketball since joining the Celtics roughly a year ago.

White has averaged 19.4 points, 4.9 rebounds, 5.4 assists and 1.1 blocks. He’s also shooting 50.4% from the field over that stretch, including 47% on three pointers.

hed never had a 20-10 game before having two in a row the last two games

stats

After yesterday’s win against the Grizzlies, the Celtics are now 13-4 against top-10 teams (by point differential) and are outscoring those opponents by 10.1 points per 100 possessions. Dallas has the second-best net rating against those teams at +3.1.

celtics continue to hoist

congrats to the official coach

The Celtics announced that they have officially named Joe Mazzulla their head coach. He had been working with an interim tag all season after replacing Ime Udoka days before training camp. At 42-17, Mazzulla has the Celtics in first place entering the All-Star break.

congrats to coach joe, an absolute weirdo if ever there was one.

with coaches its the bigger the freak the better

btw marcus ball hawking in his first game back last night was good stuff he was just taking the ball from them lol

suspect they held him out the max amount let him get in good shape altogether he tends to get banged up

nekias on white

Among the 161 players to defend at least 300 pick-and-rolls, only Desmond Bane (0.22%) has been washed out by a screen at a lower rate than White has (0.26%), per Second Spectrum.

Put another way: Of the 760 screens that have been set on White, only 20 (!) of them have taken him out of the play.

wild game

the pacers always seem to stumble into having a bunch of good players despite not really trying to

the jays > kobe-shaq

Jaylen Brown and Jayson Tatum have each scored 30 points in the same game 9 times this season, including tonight's win over the Pacers.

Over the last 30 years, the only duo to record more such games in a season is Kobe Bryant and Shaquille O'Neal (10 in 2000-01, 12 in 2002-03). pic.twitter.com/NIFY7pbXXX

i was going to say, before i even saw this game, how many times have we read “tatum overcame a poor night of shooting…”

https://fivethirtyeight.com/features/derrick-white-doesnt-produce-like-nba-superstars-so-why-do-the-advanced-stats-think-he-is-one/

hes been so good

he's really one of the most annoying players to be on the other side of unless it's one of those games where he's bricking all of his threes

it’s not fair they have too many guys

any game where marcus smart & derrick white are doing marcus smart & derrick white stuff while also making three pointers is prob the most aggravating backcourt in the NBA

v happy for derrick, going from culinary school to important role player on a title contender is the fuckin dream

yeah its crazy he didnt even play d1 until senior year

a late bloomer, iirc he was hella short (i think 5'10" out of hs?) and then grew like 5 or 6 inches one year while at colorado springs

drinking that christian right water

lol perk revealing that he calls mike zarren numbers and then he never talks to numbers about numbers

good mic'd up segment with jaylen, he was really emphasizing rebounds

lmao mitchell just tried to dap up deuce tatum and deuce was not having it

malcolm westbrook

not tremendous execution down the stretch

lmao mitchell just tried to dap up deuce tatum and deuce was not having it

he got it post-game. deuce knows when it's safe to consort with the enemy, and when it is not!

yes he was nice after the game, good stuff all around

“If you were stranded on an island, which Celtics teammate would you pick to be stuck with?”

D-White: Malcolm
Rob: Malcolm
Grant: Malcolm
Blake: Payton
Luke: Payton
Payton: Luke
Hauser: Luke
Jaylen: Malcolm or Luke
Jayson: Luke (adds, “I hope nobody picked Grant”)
Smart: Grant

lmaoooo

jayson constantly fucking with grant lol

and then the celtics were worried about giving him a big deal then they traded for the big contract philly gave him then they extended him

Remember when the Hawks were worried about giving Al Horford a fifth year?

That was seven years ago. https://t.co/OGspctOwbn
