This is me when someone says they want to trade Gordon Hayward or that the Celtics take too many threes.

That's me when people talk about trading Smart.

Long Live The Cobra!!!

Ha ha!
Likewise with the Gordo trade talks!

Long live The ....what do we call Hayward ???
Idk long live the Butler Boys? Meh needs work...
Gordon needs a handle

Really looking forward to this game.
Gordon’s aggression when he drives to the rim the last couple of games has got me excited about this team again.
He’s playing like he did before the hand injury which has got me intrigued too see how he goes against probably our toughest competition.

This is a must win game. No excuses.

He is playing better, he was never this aggressive. It changes the dynamic of our team

Win! Unless its a loss, in which case I will edit my post so it looks like I was right.

Need Smart/Hayward/Tatum/Jaylen to all be on for us to win tonight.

We need Smart the playmaker to show up tonight

Now that Enes and Kemba are both out, I wanna see our best defensive game of this season. I know it's tough with their size, but I wanna see us most connected on D tonight. Shooting lights out would be nice too.

Lineup of Smart-Brown-Tatum-Hayward-Theis has played very limited minutes together. And it hasn't been pretty so far.

I was about to post: "Time to get serious and make a move in the standings."

No Kemba and Kanter is rough. PHI is already maybe our worst matchup in the league.

I'm no stranger to irrational optimism when it comes to sports, but man I'm gonna have to turn the doublethink up to 11 tonight.

We got this guys. Time to get serious and make a move in the standings.

Are you **** kidding me?

I passed over buying tickets to the Lakers game so I can go this one. And Kemba and Kanter are out. What a **** joke man I'm sick.

Let's hope the Sixers go full Sixers and blow this.

****, Kemba’s out?

I’ll preemptively update this to an L.

Sixers are already a terrible matchup. No Walker and Kanter well I feel bad for people that spent money to go to the game.

Post #53 » by **SmartWentCrazy** » Sat Feb 1, 2020 5:35 pm

I cant believe I’m saying this, but Tacko should get minutes tonight.

Nah man, we got this. Celts will go crazy swarming and doubling tonight and force a ton of turnovers.

I've been on a decent streak calling games, broken clock and all that.

Starting to think this team will never be fully healthy.

I'm extremely concerned with this injury to Kemba. He's been an iron man for years.

Tough fact: Smart will take double digit shot attempts every game Kemba misses.

Damn it
Damn it
Damn it
Goddamit

We are **** cursed.
We are really starting to roll.
GH is really really bringing it.
JT just got back.
JB just got back.
And now Kemba - Jesus H Christ.

Zoya - How many games so far have we had a healthy Top 6?
Every single one of them has missed multiple games.
Goddamit.

Welp.
Team D must be relentless & turnovers simply cannot happen.
Get off to a fast start. Do not get into a hole & have to play catch-up.
Obviously, JT & JB & GH all MUST have beyond excellent games.
Gordon MUST continue being aggressive as ****. No damn deferring.
Marcus must focus on D & CAREFUL playmaking. No stupid TOs & no excess shooting.
GH needs to share the playmaking with Marcus.
What about Waters getting some of BW’s minutes?

SMMFH.

More worrisome than that is that POS Wanamaker now takes Smarts role as backup PG....What a **** drop off that is.

I would feel much much better if Tremont waters was playing tonight. We need him badly instead of crappy Wanamaker.

Ugggh.
I think that we've only had the core, for like 5 Games, maybe 6.
