Please do Celtics deep dive!

i spent the entire week in Heat Reddit drinking their tears 🤣

@@leagueleaders ooo I gotta head right now I can only imagine 😂😂

Imagine: Game 7 ECF Bucks are at home. Bucks are down 2. 15 seconds to go. Dam takes the ball up the court... He goes to his right just a bit and calls iso. Across from him is Jrue Holiday. The clock counts down as Dame takes his time getting into the set. 7,6,5 Dame takes a dribble, steps up hits a crossover steps back, rises up takes the shot for the win. Does he make it or not? IDK But it'd be magical either way.

@@frankschaefer8890cool but bucks won’t be at home and it wouldn’t even go to 7, Celtics in 6

@@frankschaefer8890 8:06 this the reason why Lillard is not getting the bucket, Jrue is his nightmare match up. He already called him the best defender he's played against.

you guys literally have ZERO rim protection now LOL so small. the unicorn has only surpased 65 games TWICE in his career. lost grant williams, smart, 6th man. good luck.

@@Nehmer4Lifebrogdons not all that, holiday is miles better then smart, and grant can’t make ‘em both, we’ll be more then fine

@@Nehmer4Life My guy, Rob worked because of Al Horford. He was a mess when they left him alone without Al. This is why Brad pulled the trigger and said: we'll figure it out if we need another big. For now, other teams are scared of the Celtics because they won't be able to double-team anyone.

@@Nehmer4Lifeokay bro the Celtics aren’t done with the off-season, we should sign Dwight Howard for rim protection

Nah u shoulda jusr kept smart if u wanted jrue there’s no difference. Jrue ain’t that guy, he was very controversial in Milwaukee

Why did it go wrong in Dallas that pairing should have been unstoppable.

because he was barely healthy and he had no time to get in sync with Luka. And Carlisle used him wrong like when he put him into the corner in the playoffs or when he thought KP has a good post-up game (which is actually not the case). The situation wasn´t ideal for him@@leagueleaders

@@GoxillaKP was 2nd in the post last season for the whole league

You’re delusional😂 please tell me on what team he played on made you draw that conclusion? This guy can’t play defense to save his life he gets blocks because he’s tall but he’s not stopping Giannis, embiid, lebron, and damn sure not jokic. Porzingis will get torched by all the contenders bigs.

@@Clarkadoodledoo. that’s your opinion and i don’t have a problem with you being hateful towards another human, I really just don’t care. Either way i’m talking about offensive post - KP was 2nd in the league by FG% at the post last season

You going to miss the 30 games he's plays every season?

@@leagueleadersyep

Time lord would be just injury prone Christian Wood minus the offense with Luka

​@@drechillin2154worst take ever, he is almost a dpoy when healthy

@@drechillin2154 Mavs don’t need more offense though.

agreed!

If everyone is healthy this is gonna be a golden year in the NBA

That's because we asked him to do away to much in playoff he was burnt out. I think he's going be 4th option possibly in Celtics which will make it so easy for him score Boston will be scary

@Edd-zd5wb I'm a bucks fan lol

@@Edd-zd5wb brother friendly fire

Fr

True that. As a bucks fan, I was upset we were facing the suns cuz I liked them as a team. Very underrated finals

i was worried going into the season with Malcolm being "disgruntled". We dont need anymore distractions with this team we chasing a banner!

And what smart was supposed to be

Jrue was worse that bledsoe in the playoffs. Jrue has a lower career TS% than both Bled and Smart in the playoffs lol.

Jrue shot worse than Bledsoe with the Bucks in the offs, but ok

@@Edd-zd5wb Lol yourself, buddy. Talk to me in a month.

@@Edd-zd5wb A month. He's already got a chip.

Who Jru? LMFAO hope you forgot that Jimmy ate Jru alive this past off playoff, while running through the Cs as well... PLOP better pray Porzingis stays healthy or else same story will repeat again.... vs Miami LOL

@@Edd-zd5wbholiday is a way better scorer and floor general then smart bro do yo homework 😂😂😂

​@@Edd-zd5wbsure Tatum never got injured. Only Porzingis has a problems. Stop listening to media propaganda and fas - that's how they drag attention and wash your brains

See ya in the ECF

@@WumboMing the series will be historic

man thats going to be one fun series to watch!

ayooo chill that's my guy lol

Dummy brittle bucks can't even passed the 1st round. Who's the 2024 NBA CHAMPIONS Mr chump The BOSTON CELTICS 🍀🏆💍🏆🍀

Yup dude is never available and somethng was way off with him last season. He's lost his quick hop ability that made him special.

Yeah I mean he clealty didn’t make his way back into 21/22 form for most of the season. That being said he still had huge moments last year in his role, such as when the players forced Joe to finally start him in games 6 and 7 Vs the sixers. And also, while this doesn’t mean he was going to get back to that post injurt,, the man was an all star of all star role players in 21/22. 7th in the entire league in win shares! 9.9!! And that is a volume stat and he only played 60 games or so! Still top 7! An all defense player and honeslty maybe he should have won DPOY. Good videos out there break it down. His defensive ability allowed the Celtics to play a type of defnese that was possibly the best D since fresking, idk, a decade plus maybe? He was simply put a huge difference maker. We were always better with him in a bigger role. I know he frustrates old school discipline style coaches and fans, but that’s rigitity. He was overall a huge positive impact. Might be big misrake to give up on him, but due to injuries it might be a great idea?

I was okay as long as they kept Rob 😭😭 I’m sorry but wish they could’ve sent Al instead and this roster would be perfect in my view. I get why they had to do what they did and I can’t stay mad with how exciting this season will be but my heart is still broken lol 💔

Also watching joe’s interview on jj reddick podcast makes me have more faith in his ability to grow/evolve as a coach and person… and be flexible enough to meet the moment. Obviously actions speak louder than works but he seems to have a lot of insight into how things fell apart against the heat and his own decisions that allowed it to happen. It was like the ship’s captain ignoring all the icebergs then just watching the titanic sink 🫣

We will just have to see how it unfolds. I feel the same way, seems like we lost two defensive anchors. Yet I have a feeling that this will unlock the full potential of both Jays, forcing them to be the leaders of the team, hopefully this brings the dog out of JT and the pickup of a solid true PG will help with some of the turnovers. Add this to a JB whos hungry to prove he's worth that 305 mill and we may have the perfect storm on our hands. Still will really miss rob and smart tho

Better.

@@Edd-zd5wbHoilday won’t need to worry about offense with 4 players that can provide offense

@@Edd-zd5wb that’s usually how it does cuz his offense will come with most the other players opening the floor up for him to create offense. That’s why Smart looked great on offense a lot of times because a lot of times with just brown and tatum, now throw in KP the floor makes it even easier for him to get buckets

@@Edd-zd5wb smart took a step back offensively and defensively this last season. Jrue is leaps ahead of him offensively which is why he made the the All star game so stfu

Good point I could for sure see that being a tactical leak

@@getlikecoop I wouldnt be surprised at all that the mangement has asked Giannis for opinion, or even for permission.

So I've never thought what Portland got back was a bad haul at all. I just liked what Shams was saying that Miami was willing to offer more. I'm super high on Jovic so that's a factor too. They're for sure going to end up flipping Rob and Brogdon so it's going to look even better in the end.. Hard to be mad at all at what they've got back.

Ahh I see…. I guess I just don’t believe the Shams report then. It feels like MIA damage control more than anything. MIA is screwed though.

@@getlikecoopMiami wasn’t offering more, Miami literally told Portland to find something better than Herro jurkic and 1 first and 2 seconds. And left it at that because dame demanding specificly only Miami even in the media. So they felt safe. Miami was not budging, idk why all these rumors they offered the entire Portland interest asset sheet lol.

@@getlikecoop Herro was not fitting at all in Portland plan as a center piece of the trade so from the get go, Portland had no reason to be interested in what Miami was offering. Unless a 3 rd was involved and Herro was going to that team, it was a moot point...

@@Shawn-Leider Thats Miami doing damage control with their fan base.

This is true

He's been healthy the last two seasons

He played all last season healthy and Rob never plays more than 30 games a year.

Yerrr

Holliday is a much better overall player than smart dude

Jrue is a massive upgrade to Smart. He's the best on ball defender in the league and probably top 5 in the pick and roll. Marcus was bottom 5 guard in transition last season.

Nah, they know. The bet is that they can make everyone else's life difficult with how stacked they are on the perimeter defensively and live with Giannis putting up great numbers. The reason I'm not that concerned is that, as hard a time as Boston will have stopping Giannis, I have even less confidence in Milwaukee stopping basically anything the Cs want to do. I mean, seriously, what is the plan? Giannis is awesome on the defensive end, and Lopez is a good tradional rim defender, but Boston is going to play a ton of 5 out offense, which brings both rim defenders away from the rim and takes Lopez out of his comfort zone and puts him at a huge disadvantage against basically whoever he's assigned to guard. Then the rest of the starting lineup are average defenders at best. Lillard and Beasley are flat out turnstiles. I just think Boston is a terrible matchup for them on defense now that they can't put Holiday on Tatum.

​@@josephrafferty6763that 5 out shit is not going to win them a chip 😂

He has inconsistent even during that championship run.

Copium at it's finest lol

@@SabrinaRoseLewisI’m a Bucks fan and I agree with him I’m not worried about you so what am I coping with lol. 2 of your best players are soft as hell and one hurts his pinky toe every year 🤣.

hehe id say see you in the playoffs but I'm not sure emo Jimmy is getting there this season.

@@SabrinaRoseLewis He took a double shot of Copium on that one. Celtics will miss Rob the 30 games a year he plays lol

dont care as long as its all in the playoffs 😆

ayy I like this lmao

Lmaooo you’re so insecure and scared 🤣. Giannis is your best player and had a 51 TS% in his last 2 playoff series. Dame is yout 2nd best player and has a career 41 fg% in thr playoffs and is a massive defensive liability. You are coping HARD 🤣. Small market inferiority complex is hilarious, getting insecure bc of people making basic logical NBA analysis 🤣

I mean, I certainly hope he turns 40 in a few years...

Ha Ha Haw

Either white or horford off the bench is a great 6th man. Pritchard is a 40 percent shooter from deep who has already played legit productive minutes in deep playoff games. PP is a guy who could easily average 20 a game for a crap team. Just look at what he does whenever he gets a spot start here and there or some legit minutes. Hauser is another consistent 40 percent shooter from 3. But I do admit they definitely could use another big off the bench, a legit big. But Honeslty rookie or not, if Jordan Walsh can play 13 minutes per game off the bench and just being defensive energy and length? That could be huge as well. I just don’t think the Celtics bench is AS empty as people have been saying. The Celtics have literally been the example of having TOO much depth at times over the last half decade or so. They also have Kornet. He can’t really stay on the floor come later playoff rounds, but he definitely is very solid for them during backup minutes in the reg. Brissett is no star role player, BUT he has had offensive success at the NBA level at times. Starting for the Pacers at times isn’t like a WOW Resume builder, but he clearly is a capable NBA player. He can be on the floor and at least hold his own. Davidson idk. Banton idk. Queida, or however you say it? Idk anything about him. Oh also Svi, he’s another veryyyyy capable shooter off the bench for them. Having pritchard, Svi and Sam on your bench isn’t nothing. Can any of them provide good enough defense for the system the Celtics employ? That’s a question, but on the offensive side of the ball? Those 3 getting wide open catch and shoot looks off the bench all seaosn long? That can legit be very very very good for Boston. Clearly they are going all in on shooting in a lot of aspects, and they were already close to the best shooting team in the league, and You might argue the data says the Celtics staff can make anyone into an even better shooter

@@schuylersavage276 you’re naming all shooter give me a bench lineup really quickly that’s gonna go against either the bucks on the east or the Denver bench on the west if you can give a reasonable lineup I’ll digress

@@schuylersavage276 they’re gonna get torched when their bench is in and there is no way around it if they make finals they have to go against the west bench what are they gonna do? Denver, Kings, Warriors, Lakers, Suns, Oklahoma, hell even the damned Pelicans. Let’s forget the east for a second all those west teams are stacked top to bottom yes completely agreed they have a WONDERFUL starting 5 and a great 6th but a starting group can’t play 48 mins throughout the entire playoffs. The nets tried it, the suns tried it. You’re not gonna win without a bench and no interior defense. Al horford was great in last series against Giannis because 1. He had help and 2. They could build a wall. How is Al horford gonna stop Giannis 1 on 1 in the post come on guys let’s be serious Brooke Lopez gonna bring porzingis to the perimeter and leave Al out there with Giannis. Imagine what jokic would do to either al or kp.

Jokic is 50 lbs bigger than al and kp ain’t no banging with him.

tatum and brown choke in the dying seconds

As someone whose watched jrue he’s pretty much Marcus smart with less accolades. Cux he always best jrue first team d every year. He was very controversial in Milwaukee for his lackluster offense. Media is far overhyping this

Tatum is the reason they beat Sixers😂. What has Giannis done outside of his one finals run?

@@shadowmenace1672 What championship has Tatum won?

@@shadowmenace1672 Also if you using the Sixers as a measuring stick in the playoffs, then you're just looking to be disappointed.

Gotchu, as a Rockets fan also this is something that I’ve been meaning to touch on
