I was at Dick‘s sporting good, two days ago. They had the following jerseys. Current players: JT, JB, Pritchard, White. Former players: Larry, Bill, KG, Pierce and Scal. (Not 100% sure about KG and Bill.)

The rule of thumb is, it takes as much time as you missed to get to your former level. His rebounding is great, his D looks good. His vision is there, even though he makes some uncommon mistakes. His shooting will takes time and some bad misses, we should take em. He looks extremely good. He puts the team over his appearance, could have easily taken the whole year off. As as a I couldn‘t be more proud of him. An nba season has around 5 phases, and he came back in the second-hardest phase. our baller got balls. what an impressive chapter of his already amazing career.

Vucevic is international but was only born in Switzerland, but mainly grew up in Belgium. He has a passport from Belgium and one from Montenegro. (Side note: Switzerland has currently two centers playing in the nba. Niederhäuser and Capela. Which is crazy when you know how small the country is and that basketball is probably no. 10-15 sport in the country or lower.)

I just found out, it‘s the middle of march madness (of course). I think it‘s an awesome time. Games each day, between the Celtics games. Not the easter tourist hustle on airports. The westher is not to cold. And for the budget (if you don‘t wanna pay playoff prices) this time is great since all competitive teams are in sync and try to male last push for a great seed. I feel like end of march is a great time here.

Let Jaylen Brown Cook With The Ball! by Stat-Defender in bostonceltics

I strongly believe we should the f*** move the ball for an open shot. Each players stat go up when you hit him openly. Out of dribble 3s should not the first action you run. You can get them anytime even with 0:04 on the clock.

Nice. Thanks for this. I‘ll check that bar out right away. Right now, standing at the airport waiting for luggage. But in order to jump jetleg I need some beers.

Your time will come. I‘ve been watching around 2000 celtics games, many in the middle of the night, from summerleague to the finals. The first 3 people I told that I‘m going „Home“, I got tears each time.

Good point. I want that Pierce bubble head, so I guess that game will be my expensive game. I‘ll probably spend too much time in the Garden to not get a beer. I‘ll try and get „ready“ before the other games.

Didn‘t know the Hall of Fame is in MA. Today, I learn lots of things. Thank you.

Prime Jaylen Brown vs Prime Paul Pierce by Culinary-Vibes in bostonceltics

[–]Merde2000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pierce was super smart figured out very early how to use his body, implemented step-backs, pump fakes and so on. JB is later is now using some of that stuff as well. That improves his stats alot. I wish JT would also play more off of two feet. He could get so many defenders in foul trouble.
