How the ‘Stock Exchange’ has powered Celtics to NBA’s best record | Celtics Post Up

That stock exchange between jerk white and Drew holiday is going up let’s take a look at their highlights from last [Applause] night behind amazing through holiday does that multiple times every game fires and sticks it oh nice hle on the break oh yeah good go taken away by Miller holiday to challenge in transition what a play Drew holiday Brun o h step through holiday say get that out of Here some highlights from around the season Drew holiday and Derek white that leads us right into forsberg’s four and forsberg I know it’s all about the Stock Exchange yeah so here’s the thing like the subs are good right like they have the best record in the NBA they got two

All NBA type wings with Jason Tatum and Jaylen Brown they got christop poring us being great on both ends but when you look at the numbers and a little shout out to Dick Le here too because he helped me out with some of these but you there are Bell weathers for Success this

Season and it often comes back to the stock exchange between Drew holiday and Derek white now of course if you’re unfamiliar they’re called Stock Exchange because Steals and blocks together equal stocks and Derek’s dad came up with Stock Exchange and we’ve all run with it cuz it’s perfectly fantastic and so

Here’s a few indicators of their success That season we start the first number 38% now when Derek white is above this the Celtics are 25 and3 on the season when he’s below it five and four so like last night he was actually below it right until the finish line of that game

When Jason Tatum saw the double threw it across the court Derek splashes it so what does that mean that’s a win even with the recent slump overall Derek white shooting 47% from the floor 41% from Beyond the three-point Arc 90.3 from the free thr line had a 50490

December but ultimately if he is efficient the Celtics are winning that game and it’s so funny for me now I’m sitting there watching it he can be having an off night but as long as he gets above 38% feels like it’s going in the win category the only losses in that

Stretch I think we’re some really good teams like OKC and Golden State so Dereck white keep doing what you’re doing so Derek white good that means the Celtics win all right got it what’s the next one all right we’re going to stick with winning percentages because 0850 that is Boston’s winning percentage when

It’s Stock Exchange we had to do this one Drew holiday records multiple stocks the Celtics are 17 and three when he has those multiple stocks and he had three last night against Toronto two blocks and a steel for the season he’s averaging 0.9 steals and8 blocks so you

Know like almost two we I feel like if we get that number up to one on each side this the Celtics will be be unbeatable because it just goes to show you like how much he’s impacting on the defensive end the Celtics have routinely given him the toughest task on the floor

He’s still holding uh opponents 1% below expected field goal output he’s especially good near the basket which is crazy to me because he”s been guarding centers like Julius Randall half the year and like they’ll throw him against Giannis for half a game and and Drew holiday just takes on that challenge but

Watch it every game when he’s super active when he’s getting those stocks the sels are going to win that game and I feel like Drew holiday is also starting to get used to his role on the Celtics team as well on that end of the floor all right what’s coming up next

All right 13 and I’m glad you said that because Drew holiday 13 when that is the number if he scores more than 13 points in a game Celtics are 18-2 that’s a 900 win percentage essentially the 20156 Warriors are on that pace they are 16

And one when he scores 14 or more he of course scored season High 22 last night in Toronto five of his seven highest scoring games this season have come since December 20th what I feels like is like Drew didn’t know exactly what his role on this team was like he knew he

Had to defend but offensive wise he’s looking around he’s go man there’s a lot of talent here so he’s perfectly happy assisting and creating a night like last night no jayen out there he needs to be a little bit more aggressive and we’ve been kind of waiting for this moment we

Were joking last night with Eddie he said he thought it might not come until the playoffs well they needed a little something last night and Drew gave it to him and I think you’re just going to see this over the course of a season on nights he’s feeling good on night that

Shot is falling he’s going to be a little bit more aggressive and the Celtics will certainly need it in those instances it’s just such a luxury when you can have a night where Derek and Drew 22 a piece last night were the leading scores for your team and I love

That Drew holiday recognized last night in the postgame interview with Abby when he was talking about the fact okay no Jaylen Brown for tonight’s game I knew I had to be aggressive in this match I he really took on that identity of setting the tone for this Celtics team against

The Raptors all right last but not least what you got all this one might be my favorite number all right plus seven okay so this is every night we they they the NBA does like what plus bonus right and it’s never like you can’t take it on

A game by game basis to mean much of anything but over the totality of the Season it adds up but here’s the thing if Dereck white is plus seven or better the Celtics are 22 and0 undefeated wow and again plus seven isn’t a crazy number it’s like if dererk has a decent

Night if he shoots 38% and he’s plus seven they are unbeatable on the court only five single digit wins in that stretch in those 22 games the average margin of Victory is 18 and a half white is the league best plus 364 in his 1100 minutes this season he’s plus 20 or

Better 10 times this year including a plus 34 against the pag here’s the funny part he was a minus last night against the Raptors he was also a minus in Milwaukee it’s barely put a dent in how good he has been this year the Steels

Can win even when he is a negative as that showed last night in Toronto but I’m telling you if he’s as if he’s just okay they’re going to win that game and that’s why he leads the NBA and rating yes am you know how much I love net

Rating and I resisted the urge to put that as any of my numbers because where is the net rating usually it’s I don’t know if we’ve ever done a forsburg 4 without a net rating but I worked it in at the end so you know I’m cheating it’s

  1. The Celtics got Jrue Holiday! Like they traded Marcus for KP and I get that. But to go out and get Jrue the same summer?! What?! Backcourt gonna be a menace if healthy going into the playoffs

  2. when we meet teams in the playoffs with dominant big like Embiid, Giannis, etc. i think we need to start Al over DWhite, nobody could guard those bigs.
    we also need DWhite together with the bench, Pritchard and Hauser will be eaten alive by the opposing wing players
