I feel like Hauser has been ahead of him on the depth chart all preseason. Starting over him, getting more minutes..

Love him or hate him, Celtics are stuck with JB.

It's just a matter of time.

Worst case scenario is JB doesn't figure it out and the Celtics have not won Banner 18 by 2025.
If that's the case then the Cs will be forced to trade him.

Yup, losing Marcus was big. JB is the next in line I think. If he keeps making the same mistakes, forcing things, silly turnovers, dudes gone next yr imo unless they win a title, but even then, I'm not so sure.

Dude is blessed. Highest paid player in the NBA and may piggy back his way to a ring. I'm not seeing it, he needs to be a better facilitator or is replaceable imo. Question is, will his value stay high enough to get the right piece(s)?

I hope JB can prove my analysis wrong, but the book is out on him from 2023 playoffs. This is his season to make that next step with his handle and passing.

Watching Jaylen in that game 7 was literally like he was in a Saw/Jigsaw trap.

Hello, Jaylen. For an eternity, you've dwelled in the shadow of your supposed kin, Jayson Tatum. To succeed, you must decipher the right path and master the art of dribbling with your weaker left hand. Win or go home, the choice is yours.

I just saw Saw X. Lol

You think he's going to get handle by the time the season starts lol he needs to change his decision making. That alone would make the team better.

No, I don't think he's going to get his handle by the time the season starts. But that doesn't matter. What matters is what he actually does this season. He's here for the year, like it or not.

The offense we are running right now is straight buns!

Ben-N1ce · Post #1866 » by **Ben-N1ce** » Wed Oct 18, 2023 1:09 am

Jaylen wasted the whole clock so Tatum could bail him out. His decisions flat out suck. Period.

Knicks getting whatever they want right now.

JB looks so mid with the ball lol. I think it’s starting to get to his head now.

Effort is still an issue. Cmon. These guys are too experienced to pull that crap.

bucknersrevenge · Post #1871 » by **bucknersrevenge** » Wed Oct 18, 2023 1:10 am

Need to see us get back inside a bit.

GotDaSauce · Post #1872 » by **GotDaSauce** » Wed Oct 18, 2023 1:11 am

We are featuring JB every time down! Who the hell decided that what we wanted to do this half after dropping close to 80 in the first half!

KamikazeK · Post #1873 » by **KamikazeK** » Wed Oct 18, 2023 1:11 am

Should've turned the game off at halftime. :cry:

He's the only guy out there who looks exactly the same. Sucks to see

Get in his head? He's overconfident and selfish with the ball in his hands. That's what's in his head.

Good to see Mazzulla being consistent: Consistently Bad.
He is a weakness folks, no if and or doubts about that.
Terrible second half.
Starless Knicks.

D-white with a rare mistake there. Dribbled into 2 defenders and coughed it up. Tatum's pass to him was off the mark too, which made it harder for White to make an effective move with the ball.

We're getting sloppy. Hopefully we clean things up out of the timeout.

Grimes can shoot - can't leave him open. They don't have many shooters out there for the knicks - just make sure to close out on Divencenzo and Grimes.

Jaylen dribbled his way into a turnover. AFTER A TIMEOUT.
