We are having 4 all stars in February
Watching this team..it’s just fucking fun.
Seeing now some of the shit zinger can do…he is so much better than I even knew.
Anyone else out there think Hauser could actually be our 4th or 5th leading scorer on the season? Or is there simply just a gas leak in my apartment…
Nobody can beat this team when the Jays/KP play like this
JT = MVP
Jayson Tatum is a plus/minus machine.
Jaylen Brown is good at basketball.
The parquet looks so much better than that fuckery they were playing on yesterday
Buffalo and jrue get single digits and we win by 30 😂
FEED KP AND BANNER 18 IS VERY POSSIBLE!!! VERY GOOD TEAM!
According to the Toronto broadcasters, apparently the Celtics are in major trouble on Friday since Joe decided to challenge. They’re so offended.
Love JB
I know it’s very early but this team is just absolutely destroying their opponents. The two losses were close ones and the rest have been good wins or blowouts. The bench is starting to click more too which was our weakest link coming into this season.
Absolute domination and I love it.
Big 3!
That was sexy
Play like this and we will never lose again
mandatory 48 hr moratorium on the jb hate
Jaylen brown be gaslighting me like he never played like garbage last night
Wyc was actually right, we really needed a shake up and it looks like Brad executed it masterfully
Celtics taking shape in their full potential mode tonight.
Sam Hauser is more valuable than Payton
Tatum with a +42 😳
This team just looks so damn smooth right now
Jaylen Brown not fucking around and Pritchard may not score a lot but his hustle is heading towards Marcus Smart approval.
hauser found his shot again
anyone know where I can purchase the shirt KP has on?? is it a Vets day warmup shirt
Some of y’all were really declaring the season over after 2 close losses to really good teams. We see you.
Zinger looks so happy out there.
the jb haters have been quiet
no praise when he’s rolling i see
Remember when people compared Siakam to Tatum?🤣🤣🤣🤣
Make sure y’all apologize to JB the disrespect was loud
My god JT was a +42 in that game 😂. I know it’s not a perfect stat but my god, this man is on a mission to keep the title of “King of +/-“
Im loving this get to the rim>stepback 3 Tatum
More Jaylen cuts please! Why would he ever dribble when he can do that?
Sam Hauser, chill. My girl was watching tonight
WERE BACK BABY 🍀🗣️
KP and JB reminding everyone that dunks are fun
Hauser starting to find his shot. He’s going to become such a massive gift to our bench
Joe’s response to the question about the late challenge was so good. Fuck the Raptors.
The offense is so much snappier minus Marcus.
The bucks lost!
I like the late challenge. You are telling your backups that their minutes matter too. You don’t stop coaching just because the other team stinks and their announcers are cranky.
Went to the game.
15th game.
Never been to a loss.
The box score feels very 2022.
*sigh* now we have to watch the patriots
KNEEL AND GIVE PRAISE TO THE PORZINGOD
This team looks elite. Very proud of Joe for making tweaks to the rotations. All he really needs to do is optimize rotations, have them run sets that create easy buckets to get guys going, make good adjustments if something is killing us and use his time outs. If he can do those things, this team will ROLL to a top 3 seed (in the NBA).
I really think this is the optimal roto as far as our starters go. All he needs to do now is start working in our backups and get the deep bench guys some PT so Brad can see exactly what we do and don’t have. Hauser is the only guy I feel has been rock solid off the bench. The other guys have been *ok*.
Can Walsh, Stevens or Svi be an actual piece or are they just trade assets? Are Queta and Luke enough depth up front with Horford slowing down, or do we need another big man. If so, what kind of big (stretch or traditional) do we need? Is Brissett anything more than a vibes guy? Is Banton able to be a backup ball handler, playmaker or defender? We have alot of questions and I think after a couple more weeks of establishing chemistry for our top 7, we need to start answering those depth questions. PP and Luke have been under the microscope and are starting to look like they arent unplayable, but we still need to find out if we have an 8th man here already or if a decent sized trade is needed.
PP, Al and Luke getting alot of run will give Brad the answer of whether we need a big move that shakes up our 6-8 spots or if it’s just tweaking the back end to give them extra push until the playoffs. Hauser is rock solid. Pritchard is decent, but we might need a spark plug scorer/handler we can rely on in the playoffs. Luke and Horford (and possibly Queta) might be enough in the frontcourt, but you can never have enough depth behind Kristaps/Al.
TLDR; Love this team and impressed with Joe. Great to see the chemistry clicking. Next task is to mix in the reserves so we can get some tape for Brad to scout and decide what’s needed before the trade deadline. Even if we’re elite, there are always improvements to be made. Not complaining or saying they suck, I’m just in the “stack the fucking deck” camp, when it could be your year. They look like champions and it’s time to go all in.
