OT: Celtics / Sixers - Series

[ErniesPinkStripes]

The announcers suck

Not to sound sexist but I can't really stand female announcers trying to sound edgy/hip.

 

[RobertWeathers]

Yes, yours is. Stick to sports you actually know something about. Smart is trash. Just like your basketball knowledge. And I'm dead serious.

Coming from a poster who thinks Richard Seymour sucks. That is your legacy on this board.

You might as well delete your account.

Worst user on Patsfans?

For those who still fail to get it:

...when Smart is on the floor, the Celtics outscore their opponent by 11.3 points per 100 possessions (roughly one game). That's 7.9 points per 100 possessions better than when he's off the court. In other words, the Celtics jump from a solid team to an elite team when Smart is on the court.

But that's obviously the defense, right? After all, Smart is an omni-defender who can match up with all five positions, a bull in a china shop. The Celtics' defense is 1.5 points per 100 possessions better with him on the floor. That's where the good play comes from, right?

Except ... here's the thing ... when Smart is on the floor, the Celtics have a 106 offensive rating. That's second best among rotation players, and 6.8 points better than when he's on the bench.

It's not sexist. I have zero problem with females commentating. Rebecca Lobo and the other woman on ESPN for the woman's NCAAs are excellent analysts.

She sucked

An elimination tournament should be done!

 

[PatriotsNumero1Fan]

5 games max. Not w/o Kyrie. C's don't have the firepower

I still rather see that matchup but this team has to beat the cavs and lebron. Just sweep philly on Monday and get some rest.

 

[patsfan13]

Not Simmons, he's not a rookie. I still think Mitchell has a slight edge over Tatum. But 3 years from now Tatum is the better player.

Simons is classified as a rookie due to his sitting out last year. Mitchell has had a terrific year. Nice to see your bitterness and lack of a clue concerning the Celtics.

Do you kill the Pats every year for losing the off season to the Jets?

No. Just ban the a hole

These are your words: "I can't take the Brad Stevens hype seriously...". I rest my case.

Brad is Popovitch without the rings.

The ****heads don't see how he expands the floor or recognize his dribble penetration.

I don't get why Smart isn't more popular among Celtics fans.. Besides the stats you so kindly provided (nice!), just watch the games... Guy makes big, impact plays on a routine basis. Sure he's not a superstar but one of those smart, gritty guys you WANT to have on your team.

 

[ErniesPinkStripes]

By far

Who are you guys talking about? Not seeing their posts as I'm assuming I put them on ignore for past behavior.. And it takes a lot for me to put you on ignore, hell the 2 Jets fans haven't even made the cut yet lol

Because he's not a scorer, shooter and takes long range 3s.

But what he does everywhere else is invaluable.

I'll say this: he's in the conversation for best coach. And I respect the hell out of Pop.

Agree. There is no debate.

 

[captain insano]

I am legitimately terrified every time he touches the ball. God, he is terrible.

hes a streaky shooter. and he's prone to playing hero ball. his shot selection at times is poor. but he is an elite defender. he can guard anybody. he does it all on defense.
