lmao we have a GUARD who's tied for 15th in the ENTIRE LEAGUE at blocking shots. Let alone Krapsnaps, who'd be in 10th if he qualified for the leaderboard.
3/25 - Celtics @ Hawks
- Thread starter DeJesus Built My Hotrod
- Start date
It's good they held onto Bogdanovich at the deadline - wouldn't want to hurt this team's playoff chances too much
I was more thinking from the defensive side because it's probably our best lineup without a guard and I don't think I've seen them play together. I remember the game where they had Kornet out there with KP and Kornet struggled where to go. I think the D reps with different lineups is much more important than offensive reps for the reason you gave
Do we think Quinn is happy Trae isn't there, or is he realizing that Trae's defense provided a handy excuse for why the team didn't win enough?
Nique: Atlanta is getting its defense in order making the Celtics miss some shots
I can't make this stuff up

Coach calls player aside asks him if this effort is apathy or ignorance. Player responds, I don’t know and I don’t care.
To be clear I wasn’t targeting you. Your post reminded me of how overstated these “5-man lineup” stats are bc on their own they don’t mean much at all.
Yeah, hell of a defense Atlanta has going---they managed to hold cetics under 75 in the half!
Redick has gone out of his way to state how much Trae’s defensive effort has improved this year. I haven’t watched enough Hawks to recognize much difference.
Others have as well, so I imagine that is true. But he's still just really bad defensively, and while he's good offensively he's so ball-dominant I continue not to see it on a really good team.
It’s fun to watch them curbstomp shitty teams but I’m so ready for meaningful games. Hard to believe it’s March 25 and they have virtually nothing to play for til the end of next month.
I've seen random rumors that the Lakers will be Trae players this summer.
Trae/Austin & regular season Bron defense will be party time for NBA guards
Didn't think that at all, you used it to make a sound point, I just liked the look of a big lineup without an awkward 2-big situation. I also add that because the roles on offense of this team are so defined everyone knows their role regardless who's on the floor with them.
Trae to Lakers makes some sense both ways....he has one of those games that maybe only Lebron can reign in, and they need someone to take up a lot of volume most of the year.
The part I don't get is how Trae will deal with sitting out the fourth quarter of playoff games, but I guess that's a problem for later?

I care about as much as the Celtics do. It is cute watching Atlanta strut around as if the Celtics didn’t just check out because they have no reason to give a shit.
We got cold they got really hot.
That really is about it. A few turnovers in there too
the hawks announcers have been talking all night about how you can attack the Celtics in the paint cuz they have no shot blockers. They are #2 in the league in blocks by the way.
They stopped trying. Not a gamethread post, they just legit quit. Half speed on everything.
