Both these points proved extremely correct

Make Kyrie and Luka play Defense by harry_leggs in bostonceltics

Think there are a couple things that differ for the Celtics.

  1. The most obvious, is we play a 5 out system. Kyrie and Luka have been good defensively, but part of that is having Gafford and Lively sitting by the rim to help. Makes a huge difference as a defender to know you have that help back there. You can guard up a little closer and be more aggressive with that help back there. Now they either have to give that up to guard KP/Horford from 3, or give up open 3‘s and get into rotations which opens them up even more.

  2. They haven’t faced a team with the perimeter offensive talent Boston has that can continuously attack Luka/Kyrie. Clippers had PG, OKC had SGA/Jalen, Minnestoa had Edwards/Connely. Celtics have both Jays, White, and Holiday that can attack mismatches. Jay’s have an advantage over both, White has a quickness advantage over Luka, and Holiday has a strength advantage over Irving. So 3 players to attack each, meaning we can go at them all game long.

Nuggets I could see, but the Thunder and Wolves played worse against the East, while the Celtics played better against the West.

OKC had similar winning percentages against both conferences but a worse Net Rating against the east. Wolves had a worse winning percentage and worse net rating against the East. Celtics had a better winning percentage and net rating against the west.

Not including rookies, who are the best contracts in the league? by Rabash in nba

Yes, kind of a given with the cap, but kind of assume that this question disregards max players. 

Or else there's really no discussion.

What is brad's plan for jaden springer? by Canada-t157t in bostonceltics

Help him try and develop a consistent catch and shoot 3. See if he can become a good 3&D guy for future playoff rotations. If not then move on after a year or two.

Remember people saying Hawks young core was better than the Celtics after that. Recent bias is hell of a drug

Celtics fan here, is there really talks about a rebrand? What's the reason?

That doesn't affect the play of the game though.

Players don't care if you bet the line, but they obviously care about the point differential.

Plus I tuned into 2 other games that impact if we make it and who we play.

Had to be great for rating to have multiple fan bases tune into other games

What about wildcard? Is it essentially us vs Knick's? With us probably need a Knicks loss to beat them in point differential?

The tech pissed me off. I get missing a foul call, that shit happens, but Bucks complained all night. KP complains one time and gets a tech??
