I was pissed I hoped the Sixers could somehow get Porzingis, or Holiday. Man, Porzingis and Embiid wouldve been something. Instead we have whiner Harden.
Another Gorden "Good Hair" Hayward, made of glass, cannot complete a full season ever. We have become soft in the middle for sure. We lack steel! I miss the dogs, Timelord, Williams and Smart 😔
The glazing is crazy
Think jrue came off the bench because he just got to Boston he’ll start the season opener for sure
Holiday will be the starter when the season opens. Horford might be a starter over White, only because White has proven to be good coming off the bench, Horford has never come off the bench before. It's a mind F#$%$ for some players going from starter to coming off the bench, and vice versa. White will likely have more minutes than Horford regardless so it doesn't really matter. Either way neither would complain about not starting, they are the most unselfish players on the team.
The thing that people fail to understand on Porzingis is that he is a matchup nightmare for defenders. Get a big on him, he can float to the perimeter and take the big with him, which clears the lanes for dribble penetration for Jaylen and Jayson. If the big comes to help on the drive, they can swing to Porzingis, resulting in an open shot or hockey pass to an open shot; it’s exactly the missing piece that they needed.
Finally some love for the Cs, appreciate u Jason
Austin reeves is incredible everything's gonna be fine
Please hire a highlights assistant
Watching that game Porziņģis is going to be unstoppable on this team. Celtics have never had a player like him. That big and who can do everything. It’s pretty much the Celtics getting the number one draft pick but advanced four years into the NBA already. You can’t double Porziņģis. Only a few big guys in the league can cover him on the perimeter. Good luck stopping this team.
Drew holiday will start for the Celtics open at night.
It's just pre season they're probably just trying different lineups, Just like in the Dallas game where Jason kid started to.
Rookies just to see how they would do.
But that won't be dallas's starting lineup opening night either
Injuries play a role on any team. Think about Milwaukee. Holy crap. If one of those two guys get injured, they are screwed. The Celtics have four players. If one of them get injured, they could still be the best team.
I’d love to start seeing a jrue, tatum pick and roll set. I think there’s a lot of potential there, and plays into jrue’s strengths
P money looked like the best player on the floor. Don’t look much into that but it’s facts.
you are ranking KP only third on the Celtics? Ok lets wait some months..
youre grea at breaking these teams down and pointing out things we might of missed… great channel
People are sleeping on the Celtics depth. After the Celtics top 6. Pritchard, Hauser, Banton, Brisset, Stevens, and Kornet are all solid players for being 2nd and 3rd string guys. Pritchard, and Hauser are starter-caliber offensive players and can both be good team defenders. Brisset, Stevens, and Banton are long, tall bodies that can be great on defense and each have good flashes on the offensive side of the ball. All it takes is 1 or 2 to make a good stride this year and we have a solid, 8 man rotation with assets to make a move if needed around the trade deadline

KP can’t post up and Holiday is ass offensively come the playoffs his half court offense is so bad compared to other top PG…
Pritchard is legit. The kid can play ball.
Nothing hits harder than Jason dropping a vid on the Celtics.
