Isaiah 41:10 - Al Will Strengthen You and Help You: Official 2016-17 Boston Celtics Season Thread

[SchoolboyC]

Are you not watching this offense?

Your point?

It doesn't change the fact that Smart's an offensive liability. The Celtics have had plenty of dominant defensive games with Isaiah in the lineup, it doesn't change the fact that he's trash on that end. And the same goes for Smart. Heading into this game he had the 2nd worst ORTG of anyone on this team

By the way, this entire run happened with smart on the bench

Hey @SchoolboyC you think maybe we should put smart back in and put him on Lowry?

Considering the offense has completely stalled during the 3rd quarter, we could probably use a player that can create his own shot

wtf was that pull up

5 trade targets to fix the Celtics’ rebounding problem

5 trade targets:
1. Andrew Bogut
2. Jeff Withey
3. PJ Tucker
4. Ersan Ilyasova
5. Josuf Nurkic

If you can turn zeller, young, and our crappiest first rounder into bogut I'm all for it

Nurkic is interesting

Bogut's a huge injury risk though.

PJ Tucker is probably the best defender out of that bunch, though.

Like I saw someone on another forum say, going out and getting Bogut is like putting a used bandaid over a wound

I wouldn't be upset at getting him but it's just, who knows how much he can give

Knicks will be passing the c00ntics in the standings on Sunday

Boston Celtics deal with bomb threat on flight to Oklahoma City

 

[William F. Russell]

"Boston has held its opponents without a triple-double for 225 consecutive games, the longest active streak in the NBA, according to the Elias Sports Bureau. What's more, of the players active for Boston on the night of Wall's triple-double, only one remains on the current roster (Kelly Olynyk). The Celtics' starting five that night was Phil Pressey, Gerald Wallace, Jeff Green, Kris Humphries, and Jared Sullinger (Olynyk, Brandon Bass, Chris Johnson, Vander Blue, and Joel Anthony were utilized off the bench). Avery Bradley, the only other player still with Boston from that season, was injured and inactive that night.

Since Wall's triple-double, Boston has built a defensive-minded team that will throw Bradley, Marcus Smart and Terry Rozier at Westbrook on Sunday with hopes of limiting his output."

Streak busters? Celtics would prefer a win in Oklahoma City

 

[William F. Russell]

Rozier's asserting himself offensively very early in this game.

 

[William F. Russell]

The team has been showing much more energy and effort on the defensive side of the ball. It looks like the players are making a more concerted effort to rebound the ball.

 

[JarrodG]

AB got no hands...

 

[William F. Russell]

We just gotta keep up our defensive intensity.
