    Celtics vs Heat ECF Redux Discussion Thread

    This discussion is enlightening as to why I get so frustrated reading the discussions lately. Treating shots as coin flips ignores so much about the mechanics of shooting, shooting touch, scoring, etc. There are days when you try to shoot a basketball and the hoop could practically double in...

    The Celtics Offseason

    I don’t think it makes sense but if we basically have to max Brown and keep him a year and then plan to trade him due to CBA does that start to make De make sense? Essentially, if it’s next to impossible to have 2 max players 2-3 years from now does Dame’s age become less of a concern?

    Joe Mazzulla officially named head coach

    But playing an offense that is so heavily reliant on 3s does open the possibility of a cold spell that sinks your season. D’Antonis teams were always vulnerable in the same way. They (the Celtics)had absolutely no other way to score so had to go down with the ship. In truth I wonder if what...

    The Celtics Offseason

    I’m not going to try to craft a trade with Houston or Utah because there are too many moving parts with our cap situation and probably a third team is involved. I’m saying I think it’s probable that some teams value Smart similarly to the Celtics. And if there’s one thing I’m not at all scared...

    The Celtics Offseason

    I think you call up Houston and see if Ime wants a veteran voice who knows his methods to kickstart his time there. Ainge was always big into Smart as well. It’s narrow but there are teams who probably will value Smart. Whether there’s value for both sides I don’t know but his culture...

    Smarts interview really irritated me and I’m generally a Marcus Smart guy. In the end post game interviews aren’t the place to find deep analysis but there was just something missing in what he was saying. I can’t even place my finger on it but it just didn’t feel right. Started with talking...

    The Celtics Offseason

    I really don’t know. I don’t think they try to trade him while his value is low anyway. Just thinking that Jaylens value is in a weird spot and getting like for like talent is going to be really hard. A player whose value is compromised opens the door but it would be really risky of course...

    The Celtics Offseason

    My mind only drifts to whether there’s some opportunity to pry Morant free with all his troubles. Probably no chance but that would be your DJ trade if you think you can keep him from more trouble

    5/29 - The Last Of Us

    I used the word variance for a reason. And I’m not talking about tonight only. The truth is I think Tatum is fully capable of having a game nearly as bad as tonight without an injury and that’s what’s scary about him. I’m not overly focused on outcomes, great players will have bad nights and...

    5/29 - The Last Of Us

    If we got 75% of game 7 Tatum most nights we wouldn’t be having this conversation. He got hurt tonight, for sure. But this series was lost in games 1-3. He played well in game 1 but really struggled to shoot the 3 in games 2 and 3. Foenthe role that he plays, he needs to be the guy who can...

    I think KFP is over the top but I was questioning Tatum earlier too. His variance is so large game to game that it’s hard to know if he’s ever going to be the guy who leads them to a championship. I’d really like to see them try to get him a coach who really understands his strengths and...

    Again, it’s the coach’s job to have then prepared to have multiple defenses to throw at Miami, to design and offense that can beat a zone, to adjust to somehow find a way to make Caleb Martin not be so fucking open all the time. He’s blameless on the players sucking but the outcome of the...

    Both in the micro in the way they will lose and the macro of playing like shit until their backs were against the wall and then failing when they finally look like they have the advantage back

    I don’t see Tatum moving badly out there. They’re not even attempting to hide him on D and he’s still trying to break people down on the dribble. Without a doubt he rolled that ankle and that can affect him but it’s not like he’s not able to move normally enough out there. If he’s hurt as bad...
