I can’t see Randle not signing his 30mil option but I also can’t see Minny giving him a contract after that.

Boooooo... they took away one of Q's layups.

Neemi just needs more experience.

He's the future.

I say don’t play Queta as matchup dependent joe, play him till he sux, let him find his legs and grow.

Refs are haters, could have let it slide, but they are right lol.

During the years I played basketball, that 1-2-2 zone is very hard to counter.

Ball movement and the 3pt shot will be difficult to do against that kind of zone.

The solution to that kind of zone is attack the low post.

So they know how to play defense, Nice!
The match up zone is working. Adjustments from MIN coming, but it keep the intensity up
Good minutes by Queta off the bench. Shame they took away his basket

A small rant - Scal is getting on my nerves. He is commentating like he is from the UN. "I like" this and that player, "Mo foul on JT, they should challenge it etc.
You are the Celtics commentator. Call it like that. I hate all the players from the other team. There is always a foul on JT etc.
That's it. Rant over

JT tripdub watch. C's with 17 assists on 23 FGs. Better closeouts and not fouling worked. Joe was right again. Also forced 9 TOs in that half while we only had 3 of our own. More of the same please.

They took away Queta's shot clock beater.
That looked like he got rid of before the Clock ran out?

Refs have the luxury of replay, so it must not have been on time.

If Charles could shoot 3’s he wouldn’t be talking trash right now

NYCelticsfan136 · Post #195 » by **NYCelticsfan136** » Fri Jan 3, 2025 1:37 am

The amount of 3s this team takes is insane. They didn’t hit them in the first quarter. They did in the second. 7 for 12 in the second quarter. I expect them to keep shooting them. Hope they make them in the second half.

ConstableGeneva · Post #196 » by **ConstableGeneva** » Fri Jan 3, 2025 1:37 am

What is this halftime show? And is he and Red Panda an item?

Fierce1 · Post #197 » by **Fierce1** » Fri Jan 3, 2025 1:37 am

Wolves really got confused when the Cs went to that zone defense.

So now you're backtracking. :lol:

High Horford minutes. Hope he has some gas In the tank for 2nd half. Day off tomorrow though.

We know what happens with this team in 3rd quarters so this is far from over.
