That will eventually happen.

This is still an adjustment period.

I think by January or February this Celts team will be like a well oiled machine.

That's the mark of an elite team.

the crazy thing is he isn't playing poorly. he needs to hit those shots though, especially when things buckle down in the playoffs, he's going to get targeted, and his offense has to be an offset.

he's playing GReat ! except for shot falling which is his strongest attribute !!
Have to stay with him too bc that shot WILL start falling ....just sux waiting for it to start falling like wth, I mean I still expect his shot to fall everytime but in and OUT haha

Mazzulla knows Jaylen will be alright 'cause of the offseason training he made JB go through...

And to think the Cs are still not at their best.

Wait a couple of months more and we'll see the real 2023-24 Celtics.

I am not worried about PP in the playoffs simply because If he struggles early Boston can easily let Jrue and White split all PG minutes. + Tatum. PP is definitely in a mental shooting funk.. But sometimes one good game shooting can snap him out of it..

It happened with Hauser last year and early this season.

He will definitely break out of it, he is such a pure $ shooter ...I keep expecting the breakthrough every game and everygame same thing haha

MAYBE SUNDAY w no Marcus

25-5 starting to feel realistic.

Come on there’s some reason they aren’t starting Ike crap like last year.

This is Brad's "Dream Team".

Brad always wanted a unit where all 5 guys can make 3s.

It turns out this 10-2 start is nothing special for the Celtics lol. The Cs have started 10-2 or better 20 previous times.

It becomes special when it's 25-5.

Shoddy research might be wrong anyway. Disregard.

8x with Russell
2x with Hondo, post-Russell
6x with Bird
2x with KG/PP
2x in Brad era

Brad is gonna be signing Tatum, white, Jrue and Hauser to extensions this summer so fast it'll make his head spin

I voted KP and I didn't think anyone else came close, he had the most impact defensively, came up with some key scores and would have scored 30 easy if we were playing as a team and making an effort to exploit mismatches, was our leading rebounder, and was tied for leading assist man.

No one else stuck out to me, good or bad.

Nice win.

VC goes to Brown and KP. KP with 14 and 12 rebounds, with 5 assists and 3 blocks.

White was solid. So was Jrue.

Tatum was terrible. 17 shots on 22 shots. 0 FT attempts. Only 2 assists to 3 TO's.

Al and Hauser were really good off the bench, combined shooting of 8 for 12 from the field and 6-10 from 3. They also combined to score 22 points. Too bad Hauser's one 3 was taken away.

Pritchard continues his season long shooting slump.

Matt Bonner is a funny dude.

I liked that game because it was ugly. There will be games in the playoffs where finding offense will become a struggle so I liked that we were able to find just enough during crunch time to get by. The Jaylen, Porzingis or Jaylen/Holiday two men games will be crucial for us in close games

Oh it feels good.

They were also Smart over Brogodon too. pretty clear Smart was mid for our guards in the last two years.

I'd still take Smart over Brogdon. But it's been clear for a while White clears both and its not really close

Who smokes the big cigar?
