Hawks Tarred and Feathered! Victory Cigar vs ATL 11/26

[Shak_Celts]

Al with 15 boards and 2 blocks btw. Yeah yeah the drop, but the hawks couldn’t get ANYTHING at the rim.

would have given him my cp if queta didn't come from the g-league and hold his own and if I really voted.

[playa-hater]

My mind says "Chill Bro, it was really only one game"

But my heart says "Queta brings the one thing we can really use, and that is having a player, especially a BIG-Man, that Brings in high energy all the time"

Really, REALLY want to see much more of him.

The drop coverage is a Mazz call though.

Not on Al, he was fantastic apart from his wide open 3’s.

The drop worked for the most part. Just need to be selective with it and switch more often when Trae was in.

[playa-hater]

I enjoyed it. Idc, all wins don't have to be pretty. every team wants to beat us, they will play like it's the playoffs, we just gotta get to the playoffs oiled and healthy. not only that, we beat the hawks in the playoffs, they were going to play hard.

while I enjoyed it as well, truth is I am no longer getting as high or low during the regular season after the last 2 or 3 years. Still never miss a game though.

Don’t be logical mate.

Remember, each game we lose in the regular season means we are closer to blowing up the team!!!

Logical is to emotion as Ying is to Yang!

shouldn't have done it when on bogs, he was eating us alive for a stretch.

It took them too long to get out of the drop in the second half but they did it in time.

The drop has worked very well for this team so far, but tonight they couldn't get over any screens (no Jrue doesn't help) and Trae and Bogi burned them a million times before they eventually started switching

[GoCeltics123]

Also guys we just gotta call it, Kornet is not a 3rd center in this league. He's a good 4th emergency center, he is an NBA player, but he's too slow and isn't physical enough to be a 3rd. And he's got awful hands.

I'm not sure Queta is either but there's something to work with there if he ever learns to finish consistently because he's a great rebounder

Yes! Less Korny please!

First team to 13 wins is guaranteed a Finals spot. Silver just announced it.

Voted Gandalf the White for VC and CP.

[bfchs123]

Have to see what we have with Queta.- I think we all know what we are getting with Kornett (which is not much but passable in select situations). Right now we are just down KP but it's easy to see situations where both him and Al are out. We need to see what we have before the deadline

I think it’s really by design. Probably a relic from Ime’s regime (which makes sense cos Joe was the defensive architect then if rumors are true).

Allow ATB threes. Limit corners or rim attempts.

Nice win.

VC goes to Horford for the season high 15 rebounds and Queta for 7 points and 10 rebounds in only 15 minutes.
Horford and Queta's rebounding were the difference in the game along with the team defense. We outrebounded the Hawks 58-43.

I said before the game that Joe needs to go with Queta and Stevens. One out of two isn't bad.

Tatum and Brown combined for 7 assists and 8 TOs and shot 1-7 combined in the last 4:20 of the game. The only basket being made by a Tatum layup off a fast break and a good pass from White.

They didn't really drop under Udoka, they switched pretty much the whole game tbh. But Al was 2 years younger than and we had Rob pre-knee surgeries so it was easier to do.

This year's team is definitely a drop team, guys like Jrue Holiday and Porzingis are built for it

Why is Tatum leading the vote? If that were JB with 6 turnovers or however many it was, he’d already been traded.

(Just trying to spice up the thread.)

Trying to figure that out too… I think Comedian has made about 20 different accounts to vote for Tatum for the VC regardless how he actually plays.

That’s the most logical and only explanation.

I thought he was already banned from the internet?!

[BK_2020]

Banton giving us 19 minutes was huge. He can hold his own on defense and does enough on offense to not kill the team.

Banned? He’s untouchable like Brown’s left hand dribble.

[Shak_Celts]

korny didn't even play poorly, he just had about 2 mins of getting cooked but what was he supposed to do if he's told to drop? feel bad for him because that stretch pulled the groin of my psyche.

[Fierce1]

Dalano Banton has a much higher upside than people think IMO, he has a great feel for the game but he just can't shoot

That's going to be a problem.

The Celtics' system requires you to make shots when open.
