Simons -13 in a 2 point game is typical of him. Celtics getting murdered on the boards for a third straight game while Amari Williams warms the bench getting ready for Maine.

But at this rate, Amari will surely get a chance this year.

My Bucs offense looks like celts offense… sadly.

Could JD Davison have played a role? Still younger than Rico

Celtics trade for Trae Young I’m no longer a Celtics fan. Most overrated player in the NBA and is set for a huge payday. No thank you. Trae Young the king of the 36-38 win teams

Unfortunately, this is likely going to keep happening on a nightly basis for the entire season.

JD Davidson? Yeah he would fit right in not being able to create his own shot or hit threes.

Ps the last thing I expected to read this season was anything related to JD Davidson.

I'm looking for a better defensive performance second half. Celtics were good defensively in Q1 but not Q2. Love what Hugo has brought to the game. Props to Joe for switching things up.

Too bad Mazulla forgot about him in the second quarter.

True.

Edit: immediately proceeds to foul a 3 point shooter

LOL I feel like I wanna see that even more just to see if you'd do it. Either way, I've been told this is a tanking team so that win total would probably work for most.

Endorse that technical Derrick !

Some of the calls in the paint have been bizarre.

Post #175 » by **Parliament10** » Sun Oct 26, 2025 9:10 pm

Phantom Foul.
And a Tech on D. White.

Post #176 » by **Parliament10** » Sun Oct 26, 2025 9:12 pm

4 Fouls on Duren and Cunningham, each.

I'm just glad we've got beyond the "Let's bring Marcus back" posts.

Should have put Tillman in this Game.

We could definitely use his strength. Neemi gets gassed sometimes.

Post #180 » by **Parliament10** » Sun Oct 26, 2025 9:16 pm

I like Hugo Starting. But, we're too small.
Maybe have Pritchard go back to leading the Bench, and Start Simons?
