Re: Victory Cigar!!! BOS 98, CLE 92 (7-7)
I mean..this is an annihilation blowout with a bit better FG%.
Maybe I didn't watch intently enough, but this was their best game of the season in terms of decision making and effort.
Ime sounds exceptionally nervous in this presser.
VC? The whole team.

This may not be looking good right now, but I think Celts struggling early in the season will make them tougher and better for the playoffs.
But Smart really needs to stop thinking he's the 1st or 2nd option.

What a shame. He's so good but physically, he will never last too long.

Cs have held an opponent under 95 points five times (out of last 7 games) in November alone. We did that only four times the entire 2020-2021 season.
This team's defense is looking more legit by the day.
Still not worried about our offense. It will get better once Tatum gets his groove back and Jaylen is healthy again. And I like that the staff focused on defense first since that's more reliable game to game than offense, which can go hot or cold on any given day.
Oh and WE WON A CLOSE GAME!! Against Rubicon and Osmandias no less!
Steady Horford gets VC from me.

Really hope Rob is okay. With the Celtics luck he will be out just as Jaylen returns, then when he comes back some other starter will go down for a month, because this team seems destined to never he healthy at the same time.

Yeah, you're right, the defense is good.
I also agree that the offense can be fixed as the season progresses.
But what I'm really wishing for right now is the 17m TPE to be used on Christian Wood.
Big Al is old and Rob is injury prone.
Celts really need that 3rd big man.

It's up to Ime to set Smart straight and get him to understand he's a 4th option at best. His primary job is to set the plate for his teammates, and move in a way that faciliates his teammates offense. At least Smart sets a DECENT screen for a guard.

Grant and Josh also gave the Celts a boost.
Grant with 11 points and Josh 9 points off the bench.
Both also made shots when the Celts needed it the most.

Re: Victory Cigar!!! BOS 98, CLE 92 (7-7)
Just a thought but if RWW ends up missing any significant time and horford already not able to play many back-to-back games do we now start Grant Williams at Center?
There is no prize for coming so close Do something!

Thank you lol.
Also, with garbage time filtered out, the Celtics are now 5th in defensive rating.
People are kind of sleeping on what this team will do once Tatum shoots like Tatum and Jaylen is back. Not saying they’ll be world beaters, but they should be pretty damn good.

The Celtics can never have a fully healthy roster.
Time for Stevens to deal for a big man.
