Well, Langford got nearly 20 minutes per game with the 2022-23 Spurs (his last year in the NBA) and he shot 26% from beyond the arc. I guess Pop must have taken the paddles away.

imagine if and when Simons, Hauser, and one or more of White/Pritchard/Jaylen are all hot. We will have moments where we say the offense doesn't look worse than last year

since we'll be giving up a ton of ORBs and paint points on the other end, we'll need it

Celtics offense is not going to be an issue, too much talent. Won't be as good as last year but it should be pretty good. Defense is where the Celtics could have major slippage.

If the Celtics defense is in the Top 15 in the NBA and they are doing pretty well rebounding, interior defense and forcing turnovers then I believe the Celtics will be a 50 win team. It's all about the defense in my opinion.

I'm not expecting the Celtics to be a Top 15 defense but I'm ready to be pleasantly surprised.

Minott reminds me of a young Avery Bradley...Hugo is the real deal...Baylor is still a chucker and Walsh/Tillman should be traded.

Minot
Walsh
Scheierman
Hugo
Luis Jr.

Can any of there’s guys establish themselves to be as useful as Oshae Brissett and Svi were in 2024? They are all auditioning for a back up role behind Tatum, Brown and White so there arent a lot of minutes.

We can hope one or 2 become Sam Hauser or PP level players. If I had to bet I would say Hugo and Walsh have the best chances. I like Minot but he is like Oshae with a much worse outside shot.

You think so? Cause Avery Bradley took over Ray Allen's spot in the Starting Lineup.
High praise.

Hmm, ok, I don't know how beneficial that drill is really. Tempo kind of kills the effect imo.

For the fans who like the upside potential of Minot, my question is, how much better, if at all, is he than O Brissett? I do remember a lot of positive "Vibes" on here with Brissett, before he eventually flamed out of not just Boston but the NBA due to lack of shooting.

I am most pumped for Queta as a starter and of course Simons since I am more of a believer than many on here.

Minot?? show me another good game please. and PP is always appreciated.
