Celtics 2021-22

Enes Freedom is Right.

FU-CK the Brad.

Golly Gee Stevens is a stealth assassin who hides behind his goofy Opie Taylor smile:

"I feel really good that we truly sat here and supported him and his right to express himself and his freedom of speech.....right up until I shipped his ass off to the one team that had to ingratiate itself with our Chi-Com overlords who cut Freedom faster than you can say 'slave labor'"

That was domination, Jazz didn’t even look like they belonged on the same court. The Celts are ****ing wagon right now. Let’s hope they stay healthy into the playoffs.

They move the ball all over the place. They have become an assist factory.

I don't see most of the C's games but I scour the box scores and last night's 37-13 assist dominance is pretty special.

Give me "ball movement" team basketball all day/every day vs the isolation garbage too common in the last two decades.

The '85-'86 Celtics are the benchmark ball movement team with Bird and Walton trying to out do each other in the passing department.
Shame that team didn't face LA in the finals, the C's would have humiliated them

 

[rochrist]

Yeah they're good as long as their 3-pointers fall and the other guys' don't...

But we All know that's Not gonna happen in the POs...

And yet The Brad, same as Sweeney, chose to Completely Ignore his team's Most Glaring Need at the trade deadline: in his case, Bigs who can rebound All of his Charmin-soft jump-shooters' misses while they're standing 25 feet away admiring their handiwork...

Sorry not sorry, but I ain't buying what they're selling; I've already and multiple times seen this act.

The other guy's 3 aren't falling because they're by far the best defensive team in the league.

Robert Williams leaves the game with a knee sprain. Al horford is already out. Not good. They won't go far without time lord.

I'll just keep this here for the memories. Oh man that sucks - that knee's been bugging him all season. Shut him down until the playoffs, as I totally agree with you there.

The standings Unbelievable.

Just enjoying this right now because if we face the Nets in the 1st round, could easily be a one and done.

I agree. Maybe if Williams is out a few games. It will cause them to drop a spot or two in the standings. And they will get an easier team in the 1st rd. he's not traveling to Toronto. He is undergoing testing. That doesn't sound good.

The Nets don't scare me and I doubt the scare the Cs either.

looks like they fear an MCL per testing. Waiting for the details

 

[rochrist]

Torn meniscus. Hopefully back for the playoffs.

It sure is. Hope it doesn't require surgery and it's the 6-8 weeks of healing variety.

Goddammit.

Even if he gets back in 4 to 6 weeks. He won't be in shape. They won't be able to just put him back in like he was never hurt.

A month and a 1/2 is not detrimental. He's been playing all year. It's not like he would have been out for 4 months.

Having him back playing 20min for the ECFs is a reasonable goal.

It doesn't take long to get out of basketball shape. 4 to 6 weeks will do it.

All depends on how conditioned the player is.

 

[captain insano]

Boston sports network just reported. That ime udoka at his pre game interview. Said Williams is having surgery.
