Celtics '19'20 - Turning over a New Clover Leaf

[The Q]

He has plateaued... Semi is what he is at this point:

A good (not great) defender whose main strength is versatility and muscle.

And a bad offensive player who has no explosion, no hops, and a mediocre shot.

pckage him and kanter and some other filler and get a better fit at the 5

they got extra picks to throw in

That's why I bring it up. I fail to see the value at this point with how well the rest of the team is doing. Anxious to see Fall, Langford, and Waters. The second unit could be a little stronger.

cant wait to actually see this kid play, but this just sounds like a young kid in the nba. exiled to maine but recalled with hayward out now.

I don’t have much hope for waters.

Langford was a nice arbitrage play considering his injury. A luxury pick for sure. I’m curious to see how he and sekou end up.

Waters is supposed to provide depth on defense. Which brings me to, what is the team's philosophy? Before Kyrie, they were defensive-minded. With him they fell to pieces. Without him they have shown flashes of great team defense. Games where there was a lack of it, they compensated on offense. Nevertheless, it's fun watching it develop.

Maybe.

The big hope is that RWIII continues to take steps in the right direction... there is potential for that to happen, and maybe this year...

RWIII and Theis may be sufficient at the 5 because of all the talent the C's have everywhere else.

Theis knows how to play team defense... he's the anti-Kanter.

I am just as curious. May take a ride down to Portland to watch him

Check his health status first... apparently Romeo now has a rolled ankle, I'm not sure of the severity.

Celtics Clippers. What a game

I missed it... on too late for me on that particular weeknight... heard we got screwed by the refs.

Doesn't matter. Glad we had the strong showing last night and glad for the strong showing to start the season.

Having all guns blasting for the post season will be what matters most.

Lovin' this team, though.

This is encouraging. Gordon Hayward on the practice court already with just tape on his fingers:

 

[Gman]

Nothing earth-shattering, but the value of Jaylen Brown summed up... the switch on D, the block, the ability to bring the ball up the floor, and the finish.

 

[Gman]

Just a little thing, but sometimes it's the little things that matter. Yet another reason why this team is different than last year's team:


So much better rooting for a guy like ^this^ as opposed to a Terry Rozier.

 

[Gman]

Had to post this dunk from last night... have mercy, Jaylen.


The contract JB earned at the beginning of this season is looking like a steal.

Hayward may be back as early as tomorrow:
