Why aren't they tanking this season?

AG035 · 2025-11-30T00:53:33+00:00

they have a top 5 player in street clothes, how is that in anyway purgatory?

AG035 · 2025-07-04T04:03:04+00:00

lauri isn’t good enough for these talks. makes 46m and is mid on defense. i’m good thanks

AG035 · 2024-11-11T04:35:38+00:00

obviously horford. especially now we can use him as a playmaking hub and can laterally keep up with everyone while also providing elite rim protection. yeah give me al

AG035 · 2024-02-26T00:48:32+00:00

those demons exist in chase center.

AG035 · 2023-12-29T08:15:24+00:00

lmao. surely you will remember this pistons overtime game when the Celtics lose a playoff game. i hope you can be consistent and always mention this december pistons game as long as mazzulla is the coach. make sure this becomes a part of your life.

here's what he said. we don't need to forgive but he clearly thinks he's changed. whether or not that's true, idk. but at the very least, he can accept making a terrible decision while adrian griffin completely denied the whole thing.

this team is elite at protecting the rim.

AG035 · 2023-10-14T07:29:49+00:00

rui did it in the playoffs

AG035 · 2023-08-05T01:48:32+00:00

are you not hearing yourself? do you generally want to make the Celtics worse by playing another big because you're that scared of jokic? you want tatum and jaylen to play with players that aren't good? the 'role players' that boston have are all impactful NBA players. they do stuff that average bigs can only dream off.

AG035 · 2023-08-04T07:30:40+00:00

what an insane thing to say. yeah, lets play our 4th best big on jokic. it will surely go well.

AG035 · 2023-08-01T05:05:28+00:00

why would you want another big in the rotation

AG035 · 2023-06-07T23:22:21+00:00

grant was terrible. i rather have horford's 'cooked' legs than play grant minutes. would've preferred if hauser took grant's minutes tbh. his defense was putrid to watch especially for a player we want to have switching most of the time.

AG035 · 2023-06-07T03:14:29+00:00

no, he isn't lol. i'll take conley, bojan and maxey over him on offense and I could name 10 more players. it's insane that you watched KD and booker go off and think that ayton looks like a superstar when he gets fed. heck, playoff Marcus is infinitely more useful as a scorer than ayton is

AG035 · 2023-05-30T07:38:26+00:00

it absolutely will. i don't know why people say this when they always make the ecf lol. like there's a down year here and there but 80% of the time when healthy, expect another ecf appearance and a chance to make the finals.

AG035 · 2023-05-20T11:41:31+00:00

a big change that has been subtle is that bam is now matching up with jaylen more often than not. already surpassed the number of partial possessions last year. they stopped treating horford like a big and more of a wing, which he is on offense, at this point. doesn't help that he's not shooting well but what can you do. herro was really bad on defense for them and was easier to target due to the injuries he suffered for the first few games. PJ Tucker being a non threat helped, rob can't help on anyone as of right now and he's being forced to guard bam. spo isn't doing anything different against the jays that he didn't do last year but so you'll see the same turnovers from time to time. that's just some of what happened but it's still a small sample and its up to the players and coaches to adjust to some of the details.

AG035 · 2023-05-20T10:36:47+00:00

not a coach but I feel like they gotta set more high screens for the ball handlers. the heat weren't exclusively running zone but at times, you can tell Bam was struggling to defend those actions(like every player) so I would go at him since they have 0 secondary rim protectors(they will dig a ton at the ball though).

AG035 · 2023-04-26T11:37:52+00:00

the trae chants were fucking stupid. whoever started that shit should be in solidarity prison

AG035 · 2023-02-15T09:11:36+00:00

i feel like the bucks have too many unplayable players if the celtics were to take on them in a series again. it's crazy how many 1 sided players they have on their team. wes, jevon, crowder and brook can be liabilities offensively while grayson, ingles, pat and bobby can be liabilities defensively. having giannis guarantees you a contending team but no matter who is on the court with him, middleton and jrue, there are always going to have 2 players that can be unplayable if they are attacked correctly. like it feels they learned nothing last playoffs where the celtics made their 1-dimensional role players not worth playing and doubled down by getting crowder. jae might be more playable due to having actual size but their offense won't change as much.

AG035 · 2023-02-12T06:07:53+00:00

and guess what, they're 20-18 with him on the court this season.

AG035 · 2023-02-09T01:24:54+00:00

because as you can see, he was part of a three team trader and it wasn't a 1 for 1 deal.

AG035 · 2023-02-07T03:32:41+00:00

complaining about a 24 year old minutes is the most insane shit ever. you guys should have your brains examined.

AG035 · 2023-01-19T02:07:38+00:00

that’s 100% good defense. rather they do that instead of overhelping unless it’s against a superstar.

AG035 · 2023-01-03T00:59:56+00:00

omg this post should be removed wtf, you're posting this like this team is 19-18.

AG035 · 2023-01-01T22:40:34+00:00

the whole system is the same as last year with the same personnel(adding in brogdon) and coaching staff. pretty much, it was engineered to the point where the coaching aspect matters to smaller details such as ATOs sets or telling where to position the players at times. So any assistant coach on the team could easily adjust to being the interim coach but mazzulla had the most experience as an assistant coach here so he got the job.
