It's like some evil spirit has possessed our GM. This deep need to pickup up "statistically efficient" players will get us in trouble.

grin grin like this is another Celtics fleecing the nets move. 4 freaking first rounders.

Jimmy butler is due for a renewal next yr. How do dy renew when they just gave big contracs to harden, Chris Paul, capela. To compound things PJ and Eric Gordon are vital pieces.
This is a "turrible move" like Chuck would say.
Its either going to be a one year rental for butler or they gut their depth to renew him.

Despite this, their window to beat the warriors and win the NBA is probably one season because the Celtics are going to figure it out sooner than later or they will simply trade for Anthony Davis.
I still want to believe it's fake news sha or maybe it's because I no too rate Jimmy Butler but I want to believe no actual GM can be that stewpid

Let's see how it turns out. Can't blame the Rockets for being desperate after coming so close last year but they need to avoid a Nets situation

I think Leverkusen should qualify at worst as second

Zurich has 9, Leverkusen 6 the other 2 clubs have 1 point each.

Its not sure for Leipzig yet, they are in a battle for second with Celtic and they play them next. Its important for them to get a result vs Celtic

Frankfurt qualifies if they win the next game
They should be able to get at worst a draw away to Celtic. Celtic na only for their league them get mouth.

Frankfurt is the surprise package for me. Those ones are already through

Neverkusen should join them whether they sack Herrlich or not

Lool same way Boston robbed OKC last year. Same Marcus Morris. That city is charmed!

OKC now 0-4. Westbrook can be such a donkey at times always making poor decisions in the clutch. Paul George is also a 4th quarter bottler so there's is a match made in choking heaven

Actually I saw somewhere

There are 125 players in NBA history that have attempted at least 2500 three-pointers. Russell Westbrook is 124th in three-point percentage.

Is he unaware of these stats? Because that's the only explanation for what he did tonight

For where? You guys are destroying them! I was telling Roland the other day that something just isn't right with the Celtics offense. Hayward and Brown were my prime culprits and they seem to be getting worse by the game. Let's see if they can turn it around

0/12 from 3pt range

Javale McGee for All-Star weekend

Steph makes it look too easy it explains why some people don't rate him. Something this good is not supposed to be this effortless. Damn

51pts from 24 shots!!

On a side note what's happening with Marc Gasol? Before his injury His offense had seemingly gone to shyte and he looks even older than his brother on the court

Bobz,

That is because the kid already played 3 seasons of professional basketball in Europe with Real Madrid. You can see his calmness and composure with the ball. He does not seem fazed by anything. This may resurrect the argument about rookie of the year again if he is in the mix, which I have no doubt he will be.
Still lacking some physicality but it's rare to see 'rookies' with such a soft floater and step back J's that are this polished. And his ball-handling! Did you see that gbe lo gbe bo vs the Bulls?

He already has go-to moves this early in the league which is quite rare. Anyway make we dey continue to observe.

3 games into the season and you are writing epistles. Where is roland17, make im gist you how Lebron snatched the heart out of the celtics team in d playoffs with that KING KONG roar last year angry

The king is not worried, you will all bow, las las
You no like Bow Wow

Lmaooo. You think this is the East? You must be having a laugh if you think LeNomad can come out West and pull those yeye stunts. He is going to need a marquee free agent or two for the Lakers to compete. His best option for now is to rack up wins against rubbish Eastern conference teams to try and stay afloat

Jokes apart what have I said that is inaccurate about LeNomad and the Lakers? Isn't he a defensive sieve especially right now. Aren't they deep in the wings department but could use some outside shooting?

The Lakers have only 1 season, 2 max to get anything out of LeBum. Since he won his last ring, he stopped playing defense, this was very obvious last season and we are seeing it this season. Father time may grant him this season but that is it. The Lakers have not done themselves any good either because they lack perimeter scoring. Lonzo is streaking but that is only for a short while until the players begin to actually pay attention to his perimeter shooting.
Countering their interior offense is very simple because it is actually built around McGee. Take McGee out and they have no replacement or presence under the rim. Teams will look to get McGee in foul trouble and take it from there.
When he walked up to take the free throws, I knew his demons were coming to haunt him again and that is why it is difficult to move him past Kobe, worth more MJ for me. Kobe walks to that free throw line and drains both throws without blinking because he is clutch.
I think LeNomad would always thrive as a facilitator, that will probably never leave him plus it's a style that ages well.

As a defender though I have always told people that LeNomad is a blehh one on one defender he relies mainly on athleticism not fundamentals. His strength has always been his help and weakside defense, I liken him to an NFL safety

Once the athleticism declines even a bit the lack of fundamentals would become worse and of course you invariably start taking plays off.

I think overall minus the lack of outside shooting the team is pretty good, they lack of quality bigs but their size and length on the wings make up for that. However the way analysts were falling over themselves tagging them a playoff team cos of LeNomad I found a bit odd. Teams especially from the West would be fired up to play against them just for that. Look at all their 3 games so far and you would almost think the playoffs have started

Bob, some fans think the rookie wall, typically after the all-star and sophomore slump are myths, not me. I was one of the few fans who were worried about Brown going into this season because he did not experience the latter last season which was his sophomore season. I think it is also important for us to note that this is the first season he is actually playing with the Celtics at full strength. Last season without Hayward and Kyrie he improved numerous aspects of his game and showed it on the court. I think the return of Hayward, Tatum's continuous surge and the dominance of Kyrie may have affected his psyche about his role with this team.
Good thing, we have a good coach in Stevens who I believe will help him get back to his groove. It is still early days, but it is obvious Brown is not in sync and is struggling. I have been impressed with Hayward's contribution to be honest, he has good rhythm and is finding his shot and space on the court. I believe he will build momentum as the season goes on, don't forget, his minutes are heavily restricted and he is not allowed to play back to back when games are on consecutive days.
The Celtics need to start early, we seem to come out lethargic and end up playing catch. We need to assert our game early and build from there. We also need to improve rebounding efforts on both ends. If you analyze out losses to the Magic and the Raptors, you will notice we could not grab the rebounds and this is abnormal for this team. I love the transition offense especially when Kyrie is around the bucket.
I have seen a bit of Brown and I observed he is a bit rigid compared to say a Jayson Tatum. His style is borderline robotic. With ball dominant guys like Kyrie, Hayward back Brown needs to find a way to be effective without the ball

It's on Stevens as well to try and make the offense work. Something is a bit off

You know Nico had to practice 2 hours everyday with a psychologist. No wonder he resigned immediately after. No be beans.

As the saying goes...it's all in the head.
Lool Seb is a 4 time Champion he shouldn't have the pressure Rosberg did.

You've been in a position where everyone has pretty much written you off and you still made that error with Ricciardo. He didn't do these things even in his 20's
