Uncle Drew Rollin A Couple Js w/the Great White Hope: Official 2018-19 Boston Celtics Season Thread

Damn Pacers stole that last game. We are starting to get a little 3 point happy. I like open 3's when they are taken by most of our team besides Smart and Baynes. Last game we only shot 9 free throws so we gotta do a better job of getting to the paint. We gotta do a better job of stopping runs by the opponent. We give up big leads too easily. Our 2nd unit needs to do a better job of passing faster instead of holding and dribbling too much. And yes I see "We" as if I was part of the team

This road trip should be tough and getting wins will be a fight.

I was saying the same thing. Its like after the first game of the season against the Sixers, they been getting 3 point happy for some reason

ATTACK THE PAINT. Good things always happen with that. They have athletic and strong players on this team, from Brown, Tatum, Morris, Smart, etc, and yet they shooting threes. They acting like they Larry Johnson on the Knicks with a knee injury

Celtics' Jaylen Brown: Will play through foot issue

Hopefully he just sits out

How serious is the foot issue, is it a fracture?

metatarsalgia...the ball of his foot is swollen and inflamed

He should be good after a week off but he wants to play

A loss to the Nuggets finds the Celtics caught between worlds

 

[William F. Russell]

It seems only a matter of time until the Celtics harness their talents this season. They’re enduring understandable growing pains at the moment. Maybe the preseason should have braced us more for the turbulence they’ve encountered. That trade rumors cropped up before Thanksgiving only hammers home the great expectations surrounding this team.

It also means the Rozier speculation will linger throughout the season. But the Celtics can confidently carry him through the year and know there’s still the potential to recoup value next summer, even if just as a sign-and-trade asset.

Celtics shouldn't be in a rush to trade Rozier

 

[William F. Russell]

"I go from starting in the playoffs to coming off the bench. ... I'm pretty sure it's not easy for nobody," Rozier said before the team's morning shootaround ahead of a game against the Phoenix Suns on Thursday night. "But I'm not complaining. And, if you know me, I would never be the one to complain about it.

"I would never go to the media or bring out the unhappy thing. Like I said, people that know me know I wouldn't do that. I've never been a selfish type of person, selfish player. You can tell the way I play I'm all about team.

"Everything will be all right. It's not as bad as people make it seem."

Celts' Rozier 'not complaining' about reduced role

Why the fukk does Baynes and Smart shoot the ball so damn much? How does a guy who worked with Kobe in the offseason come back with shyt footwork and shyt ball handling. Too much hero ball and zero team ball. There's too many guys playing to get their numbers. All these dudes are thinking about getting their personal accolades and are not playing team ball. Watching this team play stupid ball is getting tiring. And watching our coach allow this bullshyt is even more frustrating.

I'm not able to see the game, but how are they down 20? Is Kyrie playing hero ball?
