Celtics '22'23 - Championship Expectations

[Gman]

Well, shit...

Happy Thanksgiving to you Celtics fans, I guess.

Out of our magnanimity and generosity of spirit, we look down on your plight (and the plight of all Lakers fans) and feel slightly bad for yous guys on this blessed day.

 

[LogicMan]

I was pleased with their approach with the Mavs and Donk

But they should have played the bench more in the late third

 

[redseat]

You and all of us, brother.

Enjoy the ride, though... if C's fans can't be happy right now, the fans of other teams should be suicidal.

Exactly! We must. Any word on Tatum?

Minor ankle sprain... he'd be playing if it were the post-season, but they're resting him because it's the regular season.

Thank you. Yeah rest up... No need for him to be in now at all

 

[Gman]

The C's are so deep that if they're near full health... there'd be crazy not to rest guys here and there.

They waxed Washington last night even without Tatum... no problemo.

So... we've played 26 games so far... 13 at home and 13 on the road. Seems like a pretty good time for an update/eval:

• Boston is 11-2 at home
• Boston is 10-3 on the road
• Boston is 5-0 on the second night of b2b's
• Boston has found plenty of time to rest guys like Horford, Smart and Brogdon along the way
• Our offense is on a historically fantastic track. "Unstoppable" might not be an inappropriate exaggeration.
• Boston is currently shooting 40% from 3 pt land as a team
• Starter Robert Williams III still hasn't play a game, but he will be back sooner rather than later at this point

I'll stop there.

Great time to be a C's fan... keep it up, green.

Time to turn Gallo and some seconds into a real backup c for bob?

Not sure what else to is team needs but better bob insurance

Gallo and Vonleh plus a second for Nerlens Noel works

Also gets gallos deal off the books for next year, saving them tax dollars to maybe use the mle on another spot next year

Sure, maybe... but the overall point is that the Celtics don't really need to do anything...

... even on the issue of back-up big... (as close to a "weakness" as we'd be pressed to find on the roster):

• We'll get RWIII back sooner rather than later. And when he comes back, our depth will be bolstered.
• As we've previously discussed, Luke Kornet has actually been a very viable back-up 5.

So the C's are probably better off staying flexible... only looking to trade if they're forced to (by injury).

The NBA universe is in perfect balance right now. The Celtics are good and the Lakers are bad.

I have nothing to add except the C's are playing some amazing basketball AND Robert Williams is a god in 2K. He is a machine lol

@Gman @LogicMan @redseat

Tatum & Brown have scored 25 each in a game 14 times, most by any duo.

Players 6 thru 10

It’s a deep deep bench

Well, at least reasonable role players...
