3/25 - Celtics @ Hawks
- Thread starter DeJesus Built My Hotrod
- Start date
Turns out when the Hornets were eliminated from postseason contention the Celtics clinched the 1 seed. So nothing on the line today. Win anyway!
Well, best record in the league is still outstanding, but yeah. Not much juice to these next 11 games.
Wonder if Springer will get some run this game with BOTH starting guards out (per ESPN). He's not exactly known for his handle— but after Pritchard, they don't have another ball-handling guard until the very dregs of the bench. And I doubt they want Tatum bringing the ball up a whole lot in regular season game #71.
I will not have JD the LION referred to as the "very dregs," sir! That's a G League MVP candidate you are describing.

I don't like having both of our starting guards out at the same time, but that's the NBA.
Go Humble the Hawks!

somebody probably needs to restrain Pritchard for the next 15 minutes or so as I am sure he is raring to go.
edit--wait, somehow Pritchard is not starting!

No PG lineup for Boston tonight: Kristaps Porzingis Al Horford Sam Hauser Jaylen Brown Jayson Tatum Interesting look!

When the Free French forces landed at Normandy, one of the commanders told them "it is a terrible thing to fire on your homeland, but I ask you to do it today..."
Well, the same thing for us, except we're asking the guys to beat up a player named Krejci.

Should we be concerned that Jrue has been out for several games?
When JB uses his lower body balance, is anyone a better scorer?

Atlanta’s arena has to be the most irritating arena in the league. Can’t imagine watching a game there in person.
his perimeter defense where he bodies the ball handler and knocks him off his dribble is sublime
Hunter feels like one of those guys who has a good chance at having a later-career rebirth as a really effective role player, sort of Harison Barnes-like.
He just isn't going to be the stopper wing who can score Atlanta thought he was, however

Call me paranoid but it pains me to watch Porzingis playing hard, drawing contact, on the ground, etc.
Please hammer, don't hurt em.
Actually, a little hurting would be ok, now that I think about it.

I suspect Joe didn't draw that one up and promptly called a TO
about a half dozen head-scratching observations, like the Celtic's don't have any shot blockers
Time to pull the starters?
I hope Quinn Snyder got a ton of money for taking on this mess, becasue it isn't going to help his rep (not that this is his fault, really)

People pay way way WAY too much attention to 5-man lineups. Most actions are 2 and 3-man stuff anyway. Individually defensive matchups are much more important so you can defend an opponents stuff.
