REB%
1. Boston Celtics 55.4%
2. Brooklyn Nets 54.1%

Is this good ? Do they need to sign Dwight Howard to shore up their rebounding ?

Excited to play Brooklyn on Saturday. Obviously they were a team we gave up like a 30 point lead to last year so blowing them out as well would be a fun little mini-redemption arc.

Think there’s a good chance we start the season 9-1 with how they’re looking right now.

sign Dwight Howard
trade Pritchard for Drummond
trade Banton for a 2nd to free up a roster spot; sign Boogie
trade Svi for a 2nd to free up another roster spot; sign Blake
trade Stevens for cash; sign Dwight Howard again
trade Jrue, Jaylen, and Derrick for Nate Thurmond (sign and trade)

lineup:
Dwight/Boogie/Blake/Thurmond/Dwight

GET IT DONE, BRAD!!

I wonder if there is any regret in front office about letting Grant go. He would have been the perfect 7th man (more versatile than Sam) and KP insurance. Of course at the time, it was too much to pay for a 4th big as RW was still here.

You are nuts to think we should sign Dwight twice when we could sign Derrick Favors instead!

I haven’t seen the numbers but I’d believe that. The wizards 4th quarter was a disasterpiece. Surprised the offense is #1 after that, given the volatility of early season stats

The team rebounding has been a pleasant surprise. We don’t have one elite guy to grab boards but everyone from JT to Al have been grabbing more than healthy individual numbers positionally.

If Derrick White had played like this when we first got him, We might be working on Banner 19 or 20 by now.

The Celtics very likely to be the #1 offense and have a top 3 defense. They should have a chance at four all-stars if they dominate record-wise. If I'm not mistaken, the Durant Warriors were the last ones to send 4.

Isn’t Tatum averaging double figures and he’s the PF? I don’t know what PFs average but I’m not sure many get into double figures. Elite!

If it’s not elite, shh, my ignorance is bliss and I believe it is!!! :lol:

He’s one of the top non big rebounders in the nba yes. I think only Luka ranked above him in defensive rebounding % among guys that actually play more than 50 games and 20mpg (non big edition).

steefP2 · Post #1918 » by **steefP2** » Thu Nov 2, 2023 8:27 pm

Even including guys like Portis and randle, Tatum would still rank among the top 10, excluding actual centers

sam_I_am · Post #1919 » by **sam_I_am** » Thu Nov 2, 2023 9:51 pm

Celtics 4-0 start is best team start since 2009 team started 6-0. NBA record is 9-0 by 1971 Pistons I believe.

2016 Warriors started 24-0. Only reason I remember this is cos we almost ended their streak. Double overtime loss for us at home. We softened them cos they lost the following night @ Milwaukee lol.
