12/23 Snip the Clips

- Start date
Queta is a real problem for opponents. He is winning matchups against pretty much everyone he is playing against. I want to say that Brad knows what he is doing in terms of filling out a roster but maybe we need to wait a bit more.
He’s so active it is a little reminiscent of pre injury TL. Few guys can physically match up with him and his energy
Might need to switch it up. Make sure we cover all the various gods and demigods.
Agreed. Also, when have was the last time we had a guy like him gobbling up rebounds? It's a thing this team seems like it's always lacking
Hes also really strong in a way that TL never was.
And he made a subtle adjustment backing off westbrook. Let him shoot 2s over him, rather than fouling.
All of Portugal with the exclamation point!
He did. His rationale was that Gobert is a regular season juggernaut. Its hot take. Though I definitely think a Clippers team at full strength is a top team in the West.
Just a joke - I get that TJD (man I hated when the Cs played vs his father) is showing out very well but people are already slagging the Walsh pick because of it. We haven't even given Jordan a chance because there are no chances for young dudes on this roster.
I'm just enjoying this stomping. Do it to the Lakers next!
Yup, OKC over them too. He said Gobert sucks in the postseason. I don't watch other teams to know if this is true or not
All cheek aside, I love that the deep bench is filled with guys with big energy. Maybe they aren’t Grant who can come in and rain threes but one thing Queta, Brissett, and Stevens do every time out is work their asses off. They aren’t providing opponents with a break when they are out there. There’s real value in that over the course of the season.
I said a few weeks ago he was like Dollar Store TL. Same energy and compete level, more raw and maybe slightly less tools but I think there's a useful piece in there.
Last (and only) time the Celtics have ever scored 140+ in back to back games was in November of 1966, in a home and home against the Bullets.
IMO, they are exactly the sort of veteran team that knows how to manage the regular season to prepare for the playoffs. I trust that each of these guys including Harden and Westbrook will be up into their man as soon as the calendar flips to the playoffs. They know what they are doing.
Remember that game early this season (maybe against the Knicks?) when the bench almost blew a huge lead and we all got a little antsy about the deep bench?
There is a point where slow is more important than know. I guess we'll see.
This is a lot of minutes against a quality opponent. Queta could get playoff minutes, right?
The only complaint is the road narrative is taking a big hit this trip thus far. Why do they need to destroy our narratives?!?!?!
