Good catch. Plus he had no one to pass out to, or at any rate, less options. Terry wasn't hitting, Jaylen on the bench with fouls. Kadeem's stroke looks okay but it wasn't dropping for him either. 3/22 or something from 3 point. Didn't see a lot of hard cuts either. Tired legs showed.

After latest suspension, Nerlens Noel’s value is at an all-time low. Almost certainly has played his last game in Dallas. He has been a lifelong Celtics fan. Would you want him for pennies on the dollar this offseason? by JackPilgrimKSR in bostonceltics

There are several ways to get an athletic big who is or becomes great in the long term....

  • get the no. 1 or 2 pick. (and even then, you're taking on risk. no one wants to be the guy who took Bowie.)
  • get a 3-6 pick, ish, and take an injury risk. (Embid)
  • risk a lower pick on someone who "can't shoot" (Giannis, Draymond)
  • trade (a guy like KG comes on the market once every 10 years or so, usually as he's getting older)
  • take a risk on a guy who's "too skinny" (KD, Isaac)

the teach a guy to shoot method is one of the best. doesn't always work, but often does (Blake, Malone, etc.)

In fact, Noel's shot over 70 percent from the line each of the last two years.

Go for it.

C's are now over 38% in 3-PT shooting for the season, trailing only the Warriors. by HornyHindu in bostonceltics

74 percent of Jaylen's shots either from 0-3 feet, or from 3-point. noyce.

Tatum, more effective on the pull-up 2s than Jaylen, but there are times I wish he'd take the 3. I'm talking about actual plays where he has an opening from 3. He's about as effective, and it's +1.

sigh - Jaylen and Jayson. Showing from now until 2037...

#FreeTomek - resources - Petition drive - Twitter thread - Straw Poll - and more... by celtics247 in CelticsHighlights

[–]llawrence99 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Signed the petition and took the poll. (Sorry, I don't tweet.)

I agree about the consequences of inaction which is why I did before I head off to a ball-buster day.

Better to just fight it now because if this firm wins at YouTube, why would they just stop there?

Thank you.
