It's like he can only turn and do his jump hook.But he gets to do it every time.Because players are scared that every once in a while.His drop step leads to a dunk.. lol..


And he's doing this against the Minidiana Power Puffs.

Wait until he tries this against The Luke! The Queta-Beast! or the Ska-Pizza!

DENIED!

The Celtic players buy into Joe's system.

That says a lot about Joe's leadership.


And they all got paid so all that's left is to win another trophy

True.

I believe the potential of this team current Celtics team is 4 championships.

Or like the elusive Banner 18, Banner 21 will be the next Banner 18.


Interesting! Let's look at multiple-title teams since the late 1970s:
Jordan's Bulls: 6 titles
Showtime Lakers: 5
Duncan's Spurs: 5
Steph's Warriors: 4
Larry's Celtics: 3
Shaq/Kobe Lakers: 3
Bad Boy Pistons: 2
Hakeem's Rockets: 2
Kobe/Pau Lakers: 2
LeBron/Wade Heat: 2

Going back further we get beyond my experience, but worth mentioning:
1970s Celtics: 2
Russell's Celtics: alll the damn titles

Jaylen turns 28 in a week or so. Tatum 27 in March. Both are signed, along with DWhite, for the next five years (including this one). Can they win three of the next five titles? Why not? :)

No Holiday. Hopefully, they're just resting him and he's not dealing with an actual injury/physical thing.

Raps giving us a dose of our own medicine. I gotta say, it doesn't taste good.

Grady looks much smoother this season, a real NBA player.

If the Celtics play like this against the Knicks, they'll get crushed.

Horford looks like regular season Horford. Come back, Porzingis.

No energy here with the tired Celts...

Maybe a chance to get some last minute Lonnie Walker minutes, before having to decide his future

One huge difference with al horford's starting that means we have five players standing on the outside to shoot which is fine if you're making them but no one goes inside to rebound at all..

The vertical spacing and rebounding that cornet provided gives the team different type of balance and spacing. We're just one and done and I don't like that style

Mazzulla doesn't even care about winning this/stemming the tide. If he were, he'd get Tatum back on the floor already.

JT in, we're mounting a comeback. I hate losing. Let's go. Get this down to 10 by the half.
