    Jayson Tatum's Rise to the Top

    Q4. Winnable game. Tatum played the entire quarter. One of three from the field. 4 points. One rebound. One assist. One turnover. No blocks or steals. I think I'd limit any plaudits for him based on his failure to impact that game in any positive way when it mattered most. This thread is called...

    Celtics vs Da Culture - Round 1 (FIGHT!)

    Is the 2 big lineup ineffective against the Heat? The Celtics have had at least one of KP and Horford on the floor throughout both games, and not played a third center. Game 2: KP alone: -18 in 25 minutes Al alone: +22 in 18 minutes One big lineups: +4 in 43 minutes Two bigs: -14 in 5 minutes...

    Jayson Tatum's Rise to the Top

    I give up. Tatum played excellent ball last night, as befitting a player who desrerves an MVP award. If he can keep doing what he did last night, he will lead the Celtics to a championship.

    Jayson Tatum's Rise to the Top

    I think Tatum still sees himself as predominantly an isolation scorer rather than a "figure out what the game needs from him and do that" guy. He's made great strides in the right direction (see Miami game 1), but under pressure he reverts to being an iso guy (game 2). Sometimes it works (4th...

    Celtics vs Da Culture - Round 1 (FIGHT!)

    Game 1 Celtics: 27 assists on 39 makes. Tatum and Brown took 30 of the Celtics' 82 shots (37%), shooting 13 of 30 overall and 4 of 13 from three. Porzingis, White, and Holiday took 31 shots, hitting 15 (10 of 20 from three). The bench guys took 21 shots, hitting 11 (8 of 16 from three). Game 2...

    Celtics vs Da Culture - Round 1 (FIGHT!)

    I guess attack the post not the poster doesn’t apply in this forum. Answer this: what stands out to you as looking different about these 2 playoff games vs Miami compared with last year’s 6 (ignore the Tatum injured game). We have some different players of course but that should favor us. I...

    Celtics vs Da Culture - Round 1 (FIGHT!)

    I think the Celtics lost this one when their defense stiffened up later in the third quarter and started generating stops... but the offense could do nothing at the other end. Then KP came back in and the Celtics stopped getting stops.

    Celtics vs Da Culture - Round 1 (FIGHT!)

    This cuts into the "it's just bad luck" argument.

    Celtics vs Da Culture - Round 1 (FIGHT!)

    Some NBA teams, unlike the Celtics tonight, think it is a good idea to defend those shots. Anyway... Regular season Celtics: 37-4 on their home court. Playoff Celtics (Ime/Joe era): 12-13 on their home court. The playoffs are just different.

    Celtics vs Da Culture - Round 1 (FIGHT!)

    Someone should tell Coach Joe that leaving Herro all alone at the 3 point line is fucking dumb.

    The Krafts

    3. This is just Wolf "managing up." He is keeping his superiors "in the loop," as opposed to them running the show.

    The Krafts

    Correct. One tweet could mean any number of things. Maybe Wolf wants ownership buy in for his big decisions.

    Maybe Jrue wanted more touches and shots. (Kidding...)

    Three day out check-in

    Wow. 175 votes and no one wants JJ.

    Three day out check-in

    I actually think that regardless of what happens on draft day, our most likely game 1 starter at QB will be Jacoby Brissett. I think they are going to be smart in how they develop whichever QB they take. If they take Daniels (not who I wants), though, they may put in a package for him and give...
