Celtics '21'22 - The Jay's Team

[bksballer89]

He wasn’t that good. He’s slow for sf and doesn’t space the floor well enough to make up for his awful defense

He wouldn't be at this point if not for his injuries.

To be honest I never really followed his career. Just knew he was injured a lot.

 

[The Q]

Nah, he always was

 

[bksballer89]

Nah, he always was

I mean end of roster guy

Oh. I just meant my comment about his shooting and speed were there before the injuries.

agree that he was too slow for sf. PF would probably be his best position back in those days

He’s just too slow to guard anyone in the modern NBA.

In 2005 he could’ve survive and carved out a solid career

 

[The Q]

Hollinger expects them to get under the tax this year

I agree

That Richardson extension is also costing them a chance to add a guy slightly above the trade exception value.

Gonna be interesting to see if Brad and udoka are right about him.

I was gold buying low, but the extension before he plays a game for them is a bit much unless you saw something clear and obvious to improve his shot

Not necessarily huge news, because who starts the game is less important than who finishes the game, but it looks like the Celtics are starting Grant Williams tonight against the Knicks.

(Persumably, Al Horford would have gotten the start if he weren't quarantined due to CV19)

In other news: Jaylen Brown is out of CV19 protocols and will start tonight as well.

I can't wait... bring on the new season.

Not a good sign for hernanGomez

 

[Gman]

Not a good sign for hernanGomez

Perhaps... regardless, I'm happy with it... Husky Grant has better potential as a defender, and the main (reasonable) thing I want to see this season is an improvement in our team defense.

Not sure that’s true.

He’s starting to strike me as a small ball 5.

But I’m curious to see if he can stay in front of randle. I would say he’s a better matchup for randle than hernanGomez is

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Guys...let that noise go until later.

The Sox game is on.

 

[LogicMan]

Oooohhhh Marcus.

 

[Gman]

Damn... would have been nice to pull that out... but it was a great game none-the-less... instant classic.

 

[The Q]

Kemba and 16 vs Horford Richardson and Schroeder will be interesting to watch moving forward.

Especially since they could’ve had a few guys or two future firsts like okc traded the pick for

 

[Gman]

Not quite the start we were all hoping for, especially the ugly loss to a Siakam-less Raptors team.

Rebounding may be an issue we need to keep our eye on. The Celtics are not a tall team, and will need to work harder to hold their own on that front.

Beyond that, the C's have shown spacing issues on offense that need to be addressed... (and Tatum still dribbles and eye-balls referees too much)... let's see what Udoka comes up with.

Better get a W tonight @ Houston.

 

[Gman]

Better get a W tonight @ Houston.

Nice to get in the W column.

2 good things about this win tonight:

• The Celtics held their opponent to less than 100 pts. That type of defense has to become our identity again.
• No Jaylen Brown, no problem. Because we actually have some competent, professional veterans on our depth chart that can put the ball in the basket this year... Schroder with 18, Horford with 17.

You do realize teams don't usually hold teams under 100 in today's NBA right? 105ish is more realistic

Our standard is excellence! Lol
