Celtics '21'22 - The Jay's Team

[Gman]

Mad props to Grant Williams tonight.

RWIII is out... the C's are going up against the biggest, baddest 5 in the NBA... and Husky Grant was able to put a body on Embiid and slow him down a little.

That's how this version of the Celtics wins basketball games... defense and grit... that's our identity.

 

[The Q]

They suck again.

 

[Gman]

They suck again.

Second night of a b2b and 2 starters out.

That, and the damn Pistons shot around 50% from 3 pt land... sh!t.

That's what the Celtics get after shooting +50% from 3 against the '6ers the night before... it's a make or miss league.

In the grand scheme of things... it might be better that Boston lost that one and the win streak narrative got wiped off the books...

... this team is not good enough to have a big head on their shoulders.

I just watched the two players who will be the face of the NBA for the next decade. This is Tatum and Ja s playgound. Both are absolute freaks GMan

Great win for the C's... especially being down a couple of wings.

This team has really improved.

Because they got my guy.

Derrick f-ing white

Don't forget about my guy... Husky Grant.

Dude's knocking down 3's like they're lay-ups.

That is a dude who WILLED himself into a shooter.

Look at his early college stats.

He is the new Antwan Jamison.

Have to say, I hate the Celtics but even a hater like me has to give them credit for the way their team has evolved. I don’t care what the standings say, as a Sixers fan the Heat and Celtics represent the toughest matchups from my perspective in the East.

Based on current info (and ny state law)

Assuming they aren’t on the same side of the bracket I would assume that’s the most likely ecf matchup.

Hopefully your side of the bracket has mil and brook tho lol

I just think with the Celtics D and with Spo directing the Heat they stand the best chance of being able to handle Embiid Harden.

You hate the Celtics? I would expect nothing less from a 76ers fan.

Phuck Philly!

It’s regulations bro. Love that rivalry though. You guys have had the better of it of late (and historically).

Neither team has much to brag about since the big 3.

How about Robert Williams, Al Horford + a 6-pack of late 2nd round picks for Embiid?

Throw in the racists at Fenway that heckled Adam Jones and it’s a deal.

 

[The Q]

I think they use that next summer

If things don’t go right they should be cutting salary to get under the tax like

I hope they keep Morgan and Matthew’s on 2 way deals

This aged fantastically lol

 

[The Q]

I like Matthew’s better, but Parker fits the roster a little better.

I’m not sure Bruno ever plays without a huge leap forward

And against

Team Mathews aged well lol

 

[Gman]

Tatum really appears to have taken that next step.

It's not just the scoring, either. He always had a talent for getting buckets.

It's the assertiveness. It's going stronger to the basket and finishing.

What's impressive is... teams are most definitely slanting their defense towards him. But now Tatum is finding ways to beat these shifts consistently.

Great time to be a Celtics fan... this team is humming.
