Celtics/NBA 2021-2022 Regular Season Part 1: Trader Brad

[Maine Fan]

I don't expect any major trades. The team is playing well with Horford, Tatum, Brown, Smart and William III all healthy. Of course for me the issue is always Williams III staying healthy and recovery time. This team is defensively very good, one of the best. We could have a big push in the second half if they stay healthy and that should improve the Celtics in the East.

Stay healthy Celtics.

I like this “let Jaylen and Jayson take 90% of the shots” offense

As much as struggle has been this season, Tatum and Brown have improved a lot by scoring by taking the ball to the paint and rim.

 

[CDJ]

I don’t get these guys

Was Miami missing a bunch of players or something?

 

[KrejciMVP]

an inspiring playoff run would be nice. id trade for a solid big man

The push from the team and team media to prop up Smart is so obvious, I would think it’s because of a trade talks but the team has been doing this for years.

I think he’s a good player but so overrated by the team media because he dives for loose balls.

 

[pgm16]

Love them one week, then next week...WTF !

 

[CDJ]

Was Miami missing a bunch of players or something?

yes, Jimmy Butler and Kyle Lowry.

The impressive thing to me lately is that Smart is actually playing like a PG. Hopefully he sticks with this and doesn’t go back to chucking

Rather him want out than Tatum if I’m being honest. Like both quite a bit, but sometimes it just doesn’t work out

What green teamer wrote this? I want to vomit

 

[pgm16]

Smart has been good during this stretch

 

[Mione134]

Smart has been good during this stretch

100%

Without a doubt. He's playing like a legit PG. Not trying to do too much. Good passing. Good shot selection

 

[CDJ]

Yeah he’s honestly playing some of the best basketball of his career lately IMO



I don’t fundamentally understand this team

 

[Maine Fan]

Nice win against the Hornets. Total team effort. Could it be that they can make a run in the playoffs. Tatum has to control his temper, whining and jawing at the refs.

Bill Fitch dies: Coach of Celtics’ 1981 championship team was 89

 

[Alicat]

Rest In Peace Bill Fitch

 

[Mione134]

Shocked but impressed. Hope they keep it up.

 

[pgm16]

With a win tonight 4 games back of the Bulls if Bulls lose, seems strange.

 

[shelbysdad]

Shocked but impressed. Hope they keep it up.

Now if they stop the trend of going several minutes without scoring they could do some real damage....

 

[Maine Fan]

The win against Detroit was impressive but then it was Detroit the worst in the league.

Over the past few games Tatum's ball handling is not so great. He and Brown lose the ball a lot or get it stolen. Maybe less handling by them is in order.

The defense is really kicking in and necessary for their advancement.

The offense is impressive but seems to me to be inconsistent
during each game. Consistent pressure is necessary to beat the better teams.

Go Celtics

“Amid their recent hot streak that has moved them firmly into playoff contention, the Minnesota Timberwolves are reportedly looking to make a big move before Thursday's trade deadline.

Per Darren Wolfson of SKOR North, the Timberwolves are "definitely" trying to acquire Marcus Smart from the Boston Celtics.

Wolfson also noted that unless Minnesota is willing to include a first-round draft pick or Jaden McDaniels in a package with Malik Beasley, a deal "most likely doesn't get done."

Beasley + McDaniels is interesting. I’d like to try to find a way to get Nowell included.
