Can’t believe Anthony Lamb was +36 in just 25 minutes. He, Divincenzo, Ty Jerome all stepping up big time with everybody out.
As a C’s fan, I agree with your analysis about why they struggled in the playoffs last year. But I do think a lot of that will be solved with a much better offensive mind at head coach. As great as Ime was, he’s not the tactician that Joe is which is why the offense is so much better this year plus we have Brogdon as well. Whether that ends with us finally getting over the hump remains to be seen though
The jaren BC lineup isn’t a secret. That’s actually been a staple for a few years now.
The west is only going to get interesting down the stretch and it will be an interesting trade deadline overall.🏀😁
A week ago you didn’t even have ja on your all nba 3rd team, now you wanna talk mvp case? Make up your mind bro
As a Celtics fan I’m just as unamused with them as you. With the talent they had last year they played horribly against the Heat and the Warriors. If they would have been the team we all knew they could be, they could have taken business against both teams in 6 or less. They just played horribly
Dude talking about show him 3 good playoffs series as if Tatum hasn’t been making deep playoff runs his whole career. He praise Giannis but he literally only has a ring because the nets was injured meanwhile he keep praising the warriors like they’re elite the entire western conference is ass the top 3 contenders are all east teams this shit is just hilarious to me I can’t wait until the playoffs
Lamb has been huge. Making shots and in the right spots at the right time. Fantastic find
Been refreshing this page all day waiting for Jason timpf!!
If Ja is not the MVP (prob. true), then I don't care about the MVP.
I’m wondering if there’s a world where the mavs are interested in Russ, it wouldn’t necessarily result in wins but they could send Dinwiddie and Tim hardaway – 40 mill, for Russ and both picks. They won’t be better this year but both Spence and Tim are on longer contracts so it frees up significant cap space to potentially get a better free agent/resign Christian wood as well as give them 2 potential high first round picks to use or trade for a star. Also while Russ is a negative asset overall he could take pressure off luka and play in a somewhat similar way to Brunson last year who wasn’t really a spot up shooter and attacked the basket. I think Spence and Tim would actually be one of the better trade packages for the lakers if they decide to commit to winning. Important shooting and dinwiddie has been a bright spot for the mavs. They could also potentially add on Bertans and pat bev shoring up depth for both teams. Salaries all seem to work in trade machines but idk it any weird clauses are involved
If and buts don't win games we lost. Yes we should have won got foul calls thats not what happened. Looking at it if we can trade AD for about 3 to 4 competent players. He will never be reliable and as great as he can be its not worth it. A wing, a shooter, a center, a decent defender/rebounder.
LeBron is a pass first player in crunch time. He knows he can't be relied upon in the final moments
Ok but that Anthony Lamb defensive play was more about Kuzma not making the easy pass to the open wing. You usually don’t wanna help from the strong side corner
Every time Ja breathes deep it looks like you could park two 98 Buicks in those nostrils
The Grizzlies are blowing teams out. I’m sure he’s playing less minutes that the people you put above him
JTimpf with the best NBA breakdowns and analysis on the internet.
This celtics agenda is crazy considering they swept the nets last year. And they made the finals whilst playing poor.
If you see Rivers, tell him highlight hunger is negatively affecting the NBA as much as any level of hoops
If Ja is not in the MVP conversation I can’t take it seriously. He’s playing so good that he barely plays 4th qtrs.
Different season Jason Celtics are a much better team this season can not keep looking back at next year it is a new season
This show is a waste of time. NBA reg season is garbage, barely a step above the fake all-star game. Anyone watching or betting on this junk are just brain dead drones.
At minute 45 he finally gets to the best team in basketball and tells you why he doesn’t like them
Isn’t it funny how after Tatum dropped 51 and the C’s win their 7th straight my immediate thought was I wonder how Jason can spin this negatively but I thought he would at least give a breakdown of all those buckets he was getting. Didn’t even get that lmao
So if the Celtics beat the Bucks last year and played bad. And added Malcolm Brogdon. U still think Milwaukee deserves the pedigree over Boston without Milwaukee?
show us the footage as your describing the play by plays.
dubs lost to chicago due to too many TOs and dumb fouls. Vuce had a good game, but he wasn't the only factor JT.
