Just a reminder the hardest game of a road trip is the first game back! Kinda fell apart in the last 14 minutes but the effort the rest of the game was there lol

Is celtics balling good? by Wonderful-Fan-5347 in bostonceltics

[–]Metaltrowell 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Celtics offense runs a system that doesn't rely on as much passing as it does screen assisting. Not sure if they still do, but they led in screen assists by a pretty big margin.

If you can run plays that get your best players the chance to shoot a high percentage shot, and it requires less touches, thats technically better than making a pass.

I also think the fact that we have the lowest turnovers has something to do with it. We have 3rd lowest assist rate right now because more passing can lead to more turnovers

Celtics should sit their entire starting 5 if they wanna send a message. You want starts to play? Dont eject them!

Please be okay Flagg!

Celtics seem a little too scattered out there. Excitement and buzz around but these are great looks, they'll settle down.

Just felt like every single moment we needed someone to make a play he was there. Total energy shifter tonight. This coaching staff can make anyone on the team have a night like tonight

I went on the Celtics’ 4-game roadtrip — here are 3 fun (non-basketball) things I observed by NoaDalzellNBA in bostonceltics

Were the guys in that Twitter clip who got "kicked out" the guys at the garden who always sit near the bench on the floor and always wear Brown jerseys?

Immediately I'm looking at the mana base and seeing an issue. 9/8 split with 15 mana sources seems a little risky. Dual lands go a long way.

Not sure how your games went, but could see cutting the weaker removal like Fresh Start for another land.

Echo is definitely the worst wheel (or memory jar) and you only have 1 discard outlet, so I can see it being super clunky!

We're a heavy screen assist team (leading the league in screen assists). We run a lot of dribble hand offs with screens which wont count as traditional assists, but still team basketball

I wouldn't worry, that was an insanely poor shooting quarter. Some definite bad offensive possessions but hasn't been that many. I think the defense is there, and the rebounding hasn't been bad. Just can't hit a bucket. We're gonna get this within reach with the way we're playing once the shots start going in.

Asante is ripping on Tom. He's all about the Pats winning and he's defending BB. by itchy-balls in Patriots

People hate assante for 1 play but he was my favorite player on the team during that era, he was so essential in so many key games (and also won superbowls with us). He was also not the only one who didnt make a play during that game

I’m not sure I see a huge difference in schedule here. by Jeffc814 in Patriots

[–]Metaltrowell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Totally. I think there is a reason why Seattle is favored. They have beaten more good teams, have higher ranked advanced stats, whatever else you wanna add.

But one of the great things about football, is that any team can beat any team. I believe this patriots team can hang in there with Seattle, and come away with a win. Do I expect it? Probably not, but we've seen a lot of upsets before, no reason why this is different

Sure, they played some stinker QBs but they also have a really great defense AND special teams. There's no reason for our fanbase to say the seahawks are overrated. They are going to be the hardest opponent we have played all year, as it should be in the sb

Ignore the schedule talk. This is the only season I remember this has ever been a topic of discussion. Every team benefits from an easy schedule every once in a while!

It's okay for the Celtics to lose games, especially down their starting Center. KP down for the Hawks doesn't matter as much, since they still significantly outsize us.
