Ime Udoka Ain't Walking Through That Door - 2022-23 Boston Celtics season thread

[William Heavy]

If it's one thing that annoys me, it's turnovers and giving up offensive boards. This team is very difficult to beat when they rebound and take care of the ball.

Jayson got taken out of the game mentally. Refs got him in foul trouble and he let his frustration get the better of him. It looked like he was playing to keep his PPG average up instead of playing team ball.

The games when guys aren't hitting 3's, they need to try to get easier shots. Even mid range shots to get themselves going and get a rhythm.

It's been mentioned, but this team without Rob has poor shot blocking. Quality centers get any shot they want against Al. And Grant is too short. Grant played a few minutes at center and the heat got any shot they wanted. When you play small, you have to stop penetration.

100% agree. At first I thought Celtics would be ok with no Timelord until Christmas, but this game kind of opened my eyes
To see this team so stacked with 5 elite perimeter defenders (Tatum, Brown, Smart, White, Brogdon), then to see only an elderly Al and Kornet as your rotational bigs. Damn, shyt is glaring

First interview I can remember about Joe Mazulla. Date on the video August 2021. He was like

"No I don't know why Grant Williams isn't playing in Summer League "

I wish we could waive Justin Jackson and sign Hassan Whiteside.

Is it not too late and still possible to do that?

If not, is Kabingele able to start playing on the Celtics full time?

Celtics had an off game

Tatum with 29, Brown with 34

The high amount of turnovers in recent games is very concerning

But you'd much rather win ugly than lose pretty

Mind you the 7th and 8th player in the rotation started with the DPOY and our All Defense Center both out and they were home. They getting swept again, can’t wait to bump into them in the playoffs.

Gotta start thinking Jaylen for one of the All NBA teams. G/F spots.

 

[SchoolboyC]

Between Smart, Blake & White tonight Tommy would’ve been handing out Tommy points like Oprah used to hand out cars

 

[SchoolboyC]

I love this team

 

[Raquinotj]

Can’t wait till Saturday. Totally different Celtics team playing the World Champs trying to bounce back from a heartbreaking loss. Hope everyone healthy on both squads.
