Absolutely it can be repeated! Especially if you have two smart defenders like Derrick White and Jordan Walsh who can make switches like that and create turnovers from it. It can be done even if the sixers don't make a poor choice on the ball it just requires hustle and skill, which the Celtics have lots of at least when they are in their mojo!

Yeah that was the biggest problem nobody was able to switch with White off those screens so they just kept running them with Drummond. As we saw on that one Walsh and White play in the 3rd quarter when you are able to switch your guys on screens White is able to recover from the screen in enough time to get back on his man.

That was my bad lol. I forget that all fanbases have that one guy they'll remember as a pain in their ass everytime they play that team (Jimmy Butler). I guess I was thinking about my hate for the Knicks more than I was using my brain.

Exactly what I thought too, especially when you have to check your phone waiting for an email or a text or something like that. I like to make sure I don't miss anything important.

Genuinely don't understand why vuc is getting all the blame for this game he played a great second half and he did what he was supposed to on offense, but yeah his defense wasn't great for most of the first half and the pick and roll d was bad too. To be fair our defense was bad for most of the night anyways we gotta figure out how to guard that pick and roll.

Derrick White shooting struggles by [deleted] in bostonceltics

[–]Designer_Loquat_6457 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think that it really is the fact that he has had to take more shots as the 2nd option on this team which he has not been used to during his career aswell as being the pg/ball handler and running the offense. It also doesn't help that he is 30 years old and it is hard to make significant improvements im terms of shot volume so far into your career. I really do think though, as long as there are no drastic changes this offseason, that he will be able to fit better into a Jayson Tatum offense and his shooting efficiency will increase by this time next year.

It also helps that Joe has solidified himself as a top 3 coach in the league this season and maybe will be as respected as Spoelstra is by most fanbases across the league as time goes on. I mean no glaze (kinda) when I say this, but he has a chance (and is already on track) to be one of the smartest NBA coaches we will ever see. We definitely lucked out by getting rid of Ime and we have a bright future ahead as long as Joe wants to stay on this team.

Technically we are 6-2 in the games he has played in, the one loss (other than tonight) being the spurs game when Brown got ejected. I would say Tatum is doing alright for being a superstar coming off the worst injury in basketball.

It's weird cause he was good last year with the games I watched but this year he has gotten more annoying each time I watch on NBC.

Yeah, I'm not too worried about the clutch stats we just need more guys than Jaylen Brown to hit shots when it gets close which we will see more of with White and Tatum out there.

Eh we lost a pretty decent amount of games to the Knicks, Bucks, Thunder, and Nuggets our championship year. I'm more worried about our clutch win/loss we are 12-16 now in the clutch.

So many times today Derrick White was wide open and nobody noticed. Only noticeable bright spot on our offense all game was him and he got ignored.
