Heh.. alrighty then.

So it's all about your huge self-righteous streak, then. Like, once again, whenever he makes up is mind about something, whoever doesn't conform is clearly an a-hole, right?

First of all-- Go **** Yourself, Jason.

Next, dude-- isn't it typically the GUILTIEST offenders who tend to leap up in outrage upon others? Because you've been doing a pretty wild-child job of it so far, no...?

not sure what that pile of nonsense is...

And with that response, the gates parted.

Yes you do know, "Proky." You DO KNOW.

Like... how's it feel to be on the other side, for once in your mean-spirited life?

Yes it really happened :lol:

never seen anything like that before. I mean I did see teams shoot 11%, 14% but never in single digits, it's actually an effort I think.

They were 2-26 from three, which is bad, but not unfathomably bad. The Rockets missed 27 consecutive three pointers in a playoff game against GSW couple of years ago.

Celtics are 30th in the league in defense and last/near last in almost every metric. is obviously early. but Ime udoka is supposed to be a defensive coach and the C's stink on D and we stunk on D last year during the regular season. Hopefully him going will help us improve?

I think we played more zone and drop coverage on pick and rolls then all of last year in just 7 games so far

Our defensive field goal % is top 5 in the league. The issue is when we don't rebound defensively

I must say, Ime's reputation from Philly and San Antonio didn't match his impact here and in Boston. I have him a pass here, because our roster was not built to defend. But the Celtics multiple legit defenders, and the results on that end are far less than the sum of their parts.

I feel like a proud dad watching my boy Caris putting the Pacers on his back.

you can tell that Caris is a good dude man because his teammates love him no matter where he goes.

Technically, Vaughn was supposed to be the main guy in charge of defense last year with Udoka as support. Clifford should be a BIG upgrade on paper in that department though.

Udoka is playing a dangerous game though. Xs and Os aside - he's been punking the Celtics in the media since preseason. Benching players for talking to refs like a HS coach. Constantly calling out their effort and aggression. Easy way to lose a team for a first time head coach.

He's on that Lloyd Piece plan.

They talk about us but Kyrie left and they still have constant drama. Seems like an organizational issue. Smart calling out Tatum and Brown in public is a huge red flag

Vaccinated playmaker who plays elite defense. At first I was fliping at anyone who's even thought about it. Now, I'm not sure about it.

Simmons is not vaccinated and frankly, he seems pretty toxic.

I think thats what stevens and the org want though.... its like year 4 or 5 of Tatum/Brown and they are going in the wrong direction. They need to challenge the guys and see if they respond. if they dont, they need to move one.
