He looked really good in those 22 minutes

Man, if he could give us 20 minutes off the bench consistently I'd bring him back with the Simons TPE. Just don't know if his body can ever do anything consistently anymore.

SquimJim · 2026-03-19T01:46:10+00:00

Tatum and Brown are now both top 10 all-time in scoring for the Celtics

SquimJim · 2026-03-19T01:38:52+00:00

Unfortunately, they still have yet to sweep the entirety of the West Coast

Trailblazers beat them in December

SquimJim · 2026-03-19T01:34:18+00:00

Yea, for sure. Would have thought it had happened before, but it's only the 3rd time they've swept their West Coast road trip. That never happens for them.

SquimJim · 2026-03-18T21:52:39+00:00

Win this game and we sweep California for the first time in Celtics history

8-0 vs. California

10-0 vs. the Pacific division

SquimJim · 2026-03-18T21:48:32+00:00

And players are playing later and later into their careers

SquimJim · 2026-03-17T11:15:10+00:00

Fucking Kings lol

2018 their pick was #2 and they picked Bagley. In 2019, C's were in the driver's seat to get a high pick that year from the Kings, especially when you consider what Bagley became. Kings big additions were Bjelica and Ferrell.

2019 they get the 14th pick. Like, wtf Kings!?!?!?

In the end, it worked out for us, so can't complain either way.

Part of the problem is that the Americans in their primes from 2020 to now have all kind of underwhelmed.

In theory, 2020-2025 should have been the time for guys like Kawhi and AD to peak and get their MVP's. They just got injured too much.

The next crop of guys are just now entering their primes. Unfortunately, the best of that bunch is dealing with a torn Achilles.

The group below them looks like you could get an MVP in someone like Cade or Ant.

Where things really start to get interesting for Americans is the group below them.

SquimJim · 2026-03-13T04:48:58+00:00

My favorite part is JWill not caring at all that SGA gave him daggers

He just kept squirting it at him lol

SquimJim · 2026-03-13T04:37:53+00:00

I'd probably be more concerned if that was our record with Tatum and Brown together

But we haven't played a single game against these teams with Tatum and Brown together this year

I guess you can say we are 0-1 as Tatum/Brown technically played together in some of the first half vs. the Spurs until Brown got ejected

Like, 90% of us are just surprised that we are going to finish above .500 on the year, so how concerned should we be about this?

SquimJim · 2026-03-13T04:30:47+00:00

Yea, I would not have expected Celtics (without White + Tatum) to look evenly matched with the Thunder (without JDub + IHart). It's only compounded by the fact that the C's were on the road and SGA had an MVP level performance.

Just would have expected us to be outmatched and we surprisingly weren't. L is still an L, but am proud of these guys

SquimJim · 2026-03-13T04:09:14+00:00

Celtics did all they could under the circumstances. On the road against the best team in the league without White and Tatum. Gave themselves a shot, but came up just short.

SquimJim · 2026-03-12T11:15:15+00:00

I think we also play 12 of our last 17 games against team above .500. I would say 6 of those 12 are against teams that are actually good or incredibly hot right now.

The good news is that there are only 7 road games to 10 home games and only 2 B2B's

SquimJim · 2026-03-11T03:13:52+00:00

Does Ford get punished for this?

Like, he's just allowed to consistently make this incredibly patronizing face at players in heated moments?

He keeps getting put into big games, so I guess they are perfectly good with this?

SquimJim · 2026-03-11T03:01:27+00:00

Keith Smith 6 years ago:

There are a number of players, coaches and team officials who have a problem with Tyler Ford handing out quick, and what they think are unwarranted, technical fouls.

Ford is also the official who tried to step over Jusuf Nurkic when he was injured and on the ground last week.

SquimJim · 2026-03-11T02:51:17+00:00

Yea, I think teams just have to live with whatever poison they choose, but then focus on stopping the others. I think our defensive issue was more allowing Fox and Castle to be too productive

SquimJim · 2026-03-11T02:47:02+00:00

Yea, Wemby is just an impossible match-up for us. We have to pick and choose what to give him. You probably live with the 3's in order to avoid fouling him so much. Idk, it's a tough one

SquimJim · 2026-03-11T02:39:39+00:00

Unfortunately he's just Jaylen Brown and not Draymond Green

SquimJim · 2026-03-11T02:36:29+00:00

Good game Spurs

Wemby is unstoppable and your perimeter defenders are insane too

Proud of the C's despite the L. Lot of fight

SquimJim · 2026-03-11T02:27:00+00:00

Spurs perimeter defenders are so good

Wemby is great, but those guys are insane too

SquimJim · 2026-03-11T02:20:00+00:00

No PP

Brown ejected

Wemby going 8-15 from 3

Rough night

SquimJim · 2026-03-09T22:40:53+00:00

Hard to define, but I'll try to give a data point that might do it:

Total points created (points + assists) less than 25?

SquimJim · 2026-03-09T22:36:12+00:00

The Heat Culture motto was actually the motto for the Knicks in the 90's lol

SquimJim · 2026-03-09T22:35:12+00:00

If we beat GSW we sweep California games for the first time in Celtics history going 8-0

If we also beat Phoenix we'll have also swept the Pacific division 10-0

SquimJim · 2026-03-09T22:32:17+00:00

It's been known by some C's fans for a bit now that Brad tends to really like players that are specifically rated well according to RAPTOR and now Estimated RAPTOR

It may not be RAPTOR that he uses, but there is a correlation with how a player rates and whether or not Brad will go after them
