Joel is absolutely blind to double teams, it’s crazy that he’s never developed a feel for that

Is Derrick White the best player on the Celtics?

D White and Jrue could neutralize Maxey in crunch time

God Cov's deflections are so orgasmic.

He’s the most underrated player in the league. I didnt expect him to be this good

Fouling too much

This game makes me think that we need another star guard more than a wing

he's a tough shot maker and taker....when said shots aren't going down its rough.

I blame Drew Hanlen as Biid can be the same way

He should low key get more criticism than he gets. I suppose because he’s made it to the Finals. But look at how stacked his teams have been his entire time in Boston. Great blend of stars and role players the entire time. He just doesn’t cook consistently enough.

Zing really will cause problems for us in this future matchup

Yeah, we need a Carusso/OG type of guy on the wings...

It doesn’t have to be a star at all. A quality starting guard above 6’4 would do wonders for this team right now.

I liked him when he played for the Spurs, thought he would be a nice complimentary between Ben and Embiid. He has surpassed that now.

Yeah. Im wrong about him. I remember a lot of guys want him here back then.

I detest Tatum...

Poor man's Kobe... Really poor...

White was one of the "settle" Ben trade targets IIRC

76ciology · Post #100 » by **76ciology** » Thu Nov 9, 2023 1:06 am

Celts using small guys to push Biid away, then let him attack the mismatch with a lot of swarming arms to deflect the ball if he drive to the basket. Kind of how teams defend Durant
