Make a bold prediction for one Celtics player this season – (Reminisce Thread)

[165bows]

Sam Hauser will lead the NBA in made threes per 100 possessions

He finished 5th with 5.6 made threes per 100. Only Curry (7.1), Merrill (6.6), DiVincenzo (6.0) and K. Thompson (5.7) in front. He was both the youngest and most accurate shooter of the group (at 42.4%) so I wasn't too far off.

Says a lot about him that he’s a total beast in three point volume shooting and whenever he’s out there I’m thinking he should shoot more.

I think Dalano Banton and Lamar Stevens will be traded by the deadline. We will acquire a player with the initials XT.

[brackdan70]

Jordan Walsh will lead the rookie class in PER.

Is 8.4 good?

[brackdan70]

Porzingis 1st team all D, all-star, all-NBA 3rd´team. Not that bold for me but people don't rate him properly at all... just needs to stay healthy, y'all will see

If we would have played enough games to qualify…might have hit 1 of these.

[31to6]

Tatum averages 35 and wins MVP
because: open 3s. go in. fun!
(and maybe they rest him like 8 games as a tradeoff for bombing away all day every day when he plays)

wow, who hacked my account on October 4??

by the ASB my take had evolved to 'win a title and next year JT gets MVP buzz', which I still stand by, though I also do not care.

I'll take league leading 64 wins and the only national recognition going to Brad Stevens who is a genius

He's just perfect for this team. Such a dynamic versatile bigman. Baltic power

Let's look back and see.
From what we thought, to what's going on now.
_________________________________________

I initially picked later on in the Season (January); not know much about our guys.
But, I did pick Queta to be Signed, by the last day.

Now, I'm all for Jaylen Brown to be our FMVP. It's going to be close.
Back in the Day, either Pierce of KG could have Won it. I think that it's the same thing now.

[El Hespiritu]

Not exactly bold but sure accurate.

Jaylen Brown will outplay his contract.

Mmmh...

[ConstableGeneva]

Tatum reads RealGM, sees all the negative comments about him from mainly Celtics fans, forces a trade to the Lakers.

This can't happen now. Or ever. He just signed a lifetime contract.

[Sweet Serenity]

Porzingis ties Wilt Chamberlain for most minutes played in a season with 3,882 minutes. However, he needs 82 games to do it, meaning Wilt remains the reigning recordholder for most minutes played per game in a season.

I’m shocked you didn’t get this right, I was just as confident as you as well.

[Scarletfire81]

Jaylen Brown will outplay his contract.

ECF MVP & Finals MVP. Yeah he’s worth every bit of his contract.

[brackdan70]

Jaylen Brown will outplay his contract.

One could argue that this was realized.

I got the final part right.

Sam Hauser will lead the NBA, period.

Well this is holding up well so far.

Anyone have the final playoffs +/- leaders? (or was it net rating, whatever — Sam led the RS and maybe also playoffs?)

Bbref stinks at how they display playoff stats and I’m officially old fashioned at this point to go beyond that anymore lol.

Both good sources.

In terms of overall on/off net rating, Al edged out Jrue for the top spot (amongst rotation players), White edged out Jaylen for worst on team. Tatum was most impactful offensively (edged out Al), KP defensively, unless Tillman counts.

As for Hauser, Tatum/Hauser pair was +16.2, Brown/Hauser pair was +13.3, Tatum/Brown pair was +6.2

Al/Hauser pair was +27.9, best on team amongst page 1 player pairs (sorted by minutes played).
