D-White is an extremely likable guy who's playing at an All-Star level.

From the front office to the coaches, the Celtics did a great job this season.

Well, what's not to like? I'll take a cool 36-point lead any day.

IDK. I Agree with Fencer. Hauser and Pritchard are 7th/8th, in no particular order.

They're both a bit up and down. Pritchard has his moments offensive rebounding, providing full-court pressure, and recently getting assists while racking up very few turnovers. Hauser has his moments defensive rebounding and providing strong reactive defense. Pritchard still hits some very long 3s. Hauser has taken the sophistication of his 3s up a bunch (i.e. movement) while again having solid numbers.

But little of this feels truly reliable against playoff levels of opponents' focus.

Been a long time since I saw them flat out put the clamps on a team for a long Stretches.

He's been shooting like Zoolander Derrick as of late though :lol:

There were a couple of times when I thought Tatum might settle for a difficult shot, but instead he dumped it into KP for an easy deuce. That's real growth on Tatum's part.

Defense is a lot easier without Jaylen freelancing and treating screens like mini-breaks.

I've never seen Luke look better. That was impressive.

I doubt we lead by 40+ at the end. Joe putting in scrubbies if we still lead by 30 entering 4th.

Brad brought in Tillman to motivate Luke.

We don't have any real competition in the East which we will win by 10+ games. If we get bounced before the Finals, heads gonna roll. I am very worried about Denver though.

Ben-N1ce · Post #158 » by **Ben-N1ce** » Thu Feb 15, 2024 1:43 am

How come every other team is playing their new additions except the Celtics.this would be the perfect game.

Fierce1 · Post #159 » by **Fierce1** » Thu Feb 15, 2024 1:43 am

Schroder will lose to the Celtics 7 times in one season.
