LOCKDOWN BUFFALO no roaming past the Buffalo
Hell yeah!
I am the one who roams
so happy for him lets goooooo
I don’t know much about how Caruso played this year to be upset by him making 1st team over D-White.
But hell yeah Derrick! Jayson and Jaylen All-NBA, an ECF MVP, FMVP, and Banner 18 are the awards left for our guys to win! Let’s go Celtics ☘️

Yessir! Been calling for it all season. Let’s add a ring to it D White !
Derrick White supermax loading 👀
Oh, we gave him a hoooome
Where the Buffalo can roooooaaaaam
As he should be 🙌. Now let’s do Jaylen and Jayson All-NBA next 😊
Mad that every single person in the 1st Team is out of the playoffs already.
2 All-NBA players, 3 All-Defensive players, 6MOY, and the best stretch 5 in the league
if we don’t win this chip just kill me man.
Really hope he gets back to his stud ways soon. He was great in round 1 but has been pretty awful during the 2nd round
Hell yeah, much deserved!
I wonder if Smart is the first DPOY to not even make second team the following year. He really had a down year defensively this year, probably in part due to injuries, but he just hasn’t been the same.
Next year could be insane though:
– Fully healthy Rob is All-defense/DPOY level
– White is All-defense level
– Smart, when right, is All-defense/DPOY level
– Tatum IMO is already fringe All-defense, and very well could make one of the teams next year.
So legitimately 4 of our starting 5 could be All-defense.
JB can be an elite on-ball defender for short stretches, but I doubt he will ever shake the off-ball bad habits he has. Still a lockdown lineup for sure!
I like this guy.
When do they announce the All NBA teams? Tomorrow?
The AD disrespect though
Meanwhile… Derrick doesn’t play crunch time.
Only D White made all defense? Are the voters high?
lfg
Defensively this season I’d take Ant Edwards and Jimmy Butler over Caruso and Brooks.
Dude was a stud this season
