resilient part 2 Posted February 15, 2018 Share Posted February 15, 2018 (edited) Boston freakin sucks since the trade deadline expired. And while Boston is missing Smart, it hurts not having an extra competent scorer off the bench.

resilient part 2 Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 dang you Celtic fans, I am 8 thousand miles away. what's your excuses. People forgetting about us, we going into stealth mode. Cleveland coming back to earth maybe, Toronto is Toronto...we sneaking in the chip series and taking it from GS after Houston takes their legs. And that is with GH in the house.

resilient part 2 Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 Boston looking good since break, while not playing too many tough games. Looking forward to Houston on Sat. need to see where they are against the top teams. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spooky Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 I feel like the Celtics match up better against Golden State than they do the Rockets. C's stole one at home, I have a feeling that this one might go a little different. Kyrie has played 50 minutes these past two games combined.. Not that he usually plays a ton of minutes but it's nice to see your team winning with your star player sitting almost half the game. Guessing he'll be closer to 35 Saturday 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
resilient part 2 Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 Boston really finding their grove again. The addition of G Monroe has been solid. some games against certain matchups he provides something that Boston doesn't have much of and that is post up options. Kyrie has played as good as ever it seems, while Boston is doing a great job of playing when he isn't in the lineup. Tatum while still not getting the touches that I wish he would get, still looks as aggressive and versatile as ever, making all kind of moves to the basket. I don't want to jinx it but Smart has not taken as many ill advised/bad shots since he returned to the team. Morris still does not pass, but at least he is making a better pct. of his shots now. J Brown's IQ still needs work, but his fearlessness on offense and defense is still valuable for Boston. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J Brown's IQ still needs work, but his fearlessness on offense and defense is still valuable for Boston. I think Tatum needs to work on keeping control of the ball when he's driving to the basket. I feel like his anticipation is great and can make moves on the fly to get to the basket but he's just gotta keep control of the ball while doing it. Kid just turned 20 so has plenty of time to figure that out. Confused about your opinion on Brown's IQ though. He's possibly one of the smartest guys on the court. I do remember hearing him say that sometimes he "overthinks" the offense and says he needs to simplify his game sometimes but I don't think Brown's IQ is an issue. Curious as to see some the opinion of Horford from Celtics fans on this site. Boston radio, namely Lou Merloni, and Celtics Twitter thinks he's basically garbage.

You ever heard of a glue guy? They are invaluable and Horford is just that. Glue guys are the players that do all the little things, set all the screens, dive for the loose balls, switch out of position, dont complain about minutes or how many points he scores. He's the guy that makes everyone else on the floor better. He's the guy that keeps the team focused when they are down or disciplined when they are up. He's the guy who does all the things that dont show up in the stat sheet and he could care less as long as the team wins. Thats Al Horford.

Basically you answered exactly like I was thinking he overthinks things part of that is that he's only 21 but it does need to improve. Sometimes he has so many moves that he doesn't need to make if he just relying on this first and athletic ability he will be a much better player hopefully sooner than later Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
resilient part 2 Posted March 11, 2018 Share Posted March 11, 2018 Horford is a very good glue guy, but I never liked him in the low post, even on Atlanta..Overall a much needed player if Boston is to succeed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spooky Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 I think fans are just focusing on his contract and see that he has a “max deal” and expect him to have 25/10. Max deal means nothing to me really in the NBA and he does so much for them on both sides of the court. Could be a potential DPOY candidate and he’s so good at facilitating. Just thought this narrative was insane Hopefully Irving’s knee soreness doesn’t get worse, need to make it through this season alive. they’ve had a lot of injuries this year it seems like. Irving, Horford, Smart and now Brown have all been out for extended time. And Hayward goes without saying. Browns injury could have been a lot worse though.

resilient part 2 Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 I like Baynes and I know many might disagree with me, but G Monroe is so much better on offense. I wish Brad Stevens would put him in over Baynes and give him starter's minutes. He needs to do it now so the team can gel before playoffs. Just don't think it will happen though.
