Celtics 2024-2025 Discussion

[Real fan 02]

I didn't turn game on until 230 left in 3rd.
Forgot they were playing.
They've played hard since I've been watching.

Our guys are tired. They need to rest anyway they can. They look sluggish this team is to talented to be mediocre over the last month.

 

[RobertWeathers]

Dog **** defense on the last play.

 

[jimnance]

Disappointing but Houston is tough.
Just ask Cleveland

So KP scored 13 pts in the 1st 3 minutes of the game.
That puts him on pace to score 208 pts for the game.
That would be a record

 

[jimnance]

KP cooled off a bit.
Only 26 pts at halftime.
He needs 182 to hit that 208.
But KP has been the best C's player over the last 2 weeks. He's getting healthier.

Unacceptable production after those first three minutes

Derrick didn’t play at at his elite level for the last two months, so I can’t argue he was snubbed as an all star since his low scoring average already puts him at a huge handicap. That said, Garland is like 50% of the overall player as White. He’s so soft. Mark my words: if these teams face off in the postseason the Celtics will win because they have Derrick White and the Cavs have Darius Garland.

Yeah Garland is not in the same class as
DWhite. He's several notches below.
Derrick's outside shooting is the main thing that's been off. And we both know if a good outside shooter starts missing, it's usually an issue with his legs. Dont know if he's been dealing with a minor leg injury or if he just has tired legs. It would make sense. Dude played in the Finals and the Olympics. So did Tatum and Jrue and their shots have been off too.
I trust Joe to give them the rest so they'll be good for playoffs, even if it means losing a few more reg. season games.
KP has stepped up and playing well and we also have Pritchard to help pick up the slack. Would also help if Sam can get back to his usual great 3pt accuracy.

 

[Guts]

holy ****

 

[Ras-IR Dowling]

holy ****

This one may go down as the worst trade ever. One first?

 

[aluminum seats]

holy ****

I’m legit shocked

Getting embarrassed in Philly by back ups!

 

[RobertWeathers]

Well this game turned around in a hurry

 

[Ice_Ice_Brady]

**** yes! What a great comeback.

 

[Ice_Ice_Brady]

 

[jimnance]

Wow. That was an impressive comeback.
They were getting on my nerves in the 1st half but what a turnaround

 

[Ice_Ice_Brady]

This one may go down as the worst trade ever. One first?

Sports leagues should require a 48 hour waiting period so other teams can also make offers. This is stupid. The Lakers are always handed 5 year superstars while the Celtics need to be brilliant to get theirs through the draft and dealing.

Post didn't age well

 

[Ice_Ice_Brady]

Anyone else laugh when KP blocked that last second 3?

 

[jimnance]

There's gotta be more going down in Dallas because that trade made no sense.
Yeah, Luka doesn't take care of his body.
Yeah, he doesn't play much D.( although he did 2nd half of last year including. playoffs) BUT.. the dude is one of if not the mist dominating offensive players on the planet. And he's only 25. There's sumpin' else going on
