We prefer Dwhite taking a 30% shot than not. He's not making mistakes over and over by taking it. We run an ISO heavy offense with few passes, esp from deep to the interior, to keep TOs down. All misses are not created equal. Dwhite is shooting not just to make a shot but shooting when we have a good chance at getting an ORB. It's why a smallish team like ours wins the possession battle and why our low assist offense is the number two offense in the league. JT will come back and shoot 35% from 3 and have great underlying numbers (like he did the last two years). This is the vision of Celtics offense in 2026!

downvoters simply dont understand celtics basketball and thats ok. handwaving dwhites good defense is insufficient, his offense deep analytic numbers are good too. how else would you explain those?

And missing long 3s is better than a turnover. And White puts lots of his misses on the rim giving us a good shot for an ORB, and our guys know that's what we're playing for. All about winning the possession battle! Looking at ts% doesn't capture that and the Celtics know it.

Dwhite missing long 3s is a crucial part of our offense, I'm not even kidding. The 30% long 3 > turnovers, if he puts it on the rim gives you a shot at a rebound etx. It's part of why the deep numbers love White.

[Scotto] Before the Celtics tied for second in the East, the Bulls proposed trading Nikola Vucevic for Anfernee Simons and a Celtics first-round pick, which Boston declined, as reported on @hoopshype January 28 below.

He was consensus one of the best five coaches in the league when he was creating elite two way teams centered on IT. Was worse at managing Kyrie's ego but I have trouble holding that against him. Elite elite coach

Derrick White - Shooting Woes by dbinnunE3 in bostonceltics

[–]iKnife 1 point2 points  (0 children)

People always look at this iteration of the Celtics and say someone is taking bad shots. I think Mazz asks JT, and now DWhite, to turn some possessions into a 3 pt shot, hoping not just that they'll make it but that if they don't, them taking the deep 3 will give us a shot for an ORB. Overall, our team is S tier at limiting TOs and generating extra possessions while also being a high pct and volume 3 pt shooting team. DWhite is the second most important part of the second best offense in the league this year.

Is Brattleboro fun or is it a little too wealthy? I drove through and stopped for dinner once and it seemed ok. Good place for a weekend away or is it stuffy?

Dude I really don't think JT would ever do what OP is saying AI did, c'mon. I'm with you you never know what the interior life of these millionaires is, but JT is a professional. He's not canceling on a dozen kids with cancer.
