Celtics/NBA 2021 Regular Season Part 2 - RIP Elgin Baylor

[Maine Fan]

I don’t think he’s been very good but I think he’s a good player trying to come back from a bad injury. Tonight I saw him penetrating more and creating more. He got cold with his shot after I made that post

I don’t know where you get the FT% stuff, I assume you mean FG% because he’s the best free throw shooter on the team


Great win tonight from them

Yeah I posted wrong meant FG%. No doubt about him trying to come back and maybe it won't happen, hasn't yet. We will have to wait and see.

if he plays like he did tonight every night then they’ll be in good shape, we just haven’t seen that consistency from him yet

stranglehold now on the 7 seed if they get hot maybe as high as 4th;

same broadcast schedule Thursday @ Staples (NBCSB/TNT)

One of the biggest problems regarding him. Sitting out games doesn't help.

They are going to get hot. Must stay positive on this team and coaches. The Jays will carry them. No more injuries or COVID protocol for this team.

NBA G League update:

Erie Bayhawks franchise finally collapses; after 4 iterations of extending that legacy.... the ownership of the franchise ceases operations

 

[Maine Fan]

This Celtic team has the two Jays, we know about them; they are carrying this team on their back. Marcus Smart is everything this team needs; without him, there is no team. Robert Williams III bloomed at the right time, if he has a good game then the Celtics win. Since coming back Tristan Thompson has been a spark. Let's not forget Pritchard, he is the rookie that has immediately helped this team, he still is a first year rookie. Langford coming back can produce defense, badly needed, and hopefully some scoring. If Fournier can get bad and be consistent he will help in a big way. G.Williams & Ojeleye need to step up their game, it is time. Then there is Walker. IMO he turns the ball over too many times because his speed gets out of control. He is too small for defense, this costs the team. So he MUST become consistent with his offense, his %s must get better on 3P and FG. Sometimes I think they would be better without him. In summary, if all this can come together, we Celtic fans are in for a ride.

Bring it on Celtics let take that ride together.

team has climbed to the fifth seed from seventh.....

 

[CHRDANHUTCH]

LaMarcus Aldridge retires from NBA VIA Sportsnet;

C's/Lakers tonight (10 pm NBCSB/TNT)

 

[CHRDANHUTCH]

Aldridge, who played in Portland, San Antonio, until his buyout earlier this season, and then signed in Brooklyn, retires after dealing with an irregular heartbeat

 

[CDJ]

Poor LaMarcus, damn that sucks

 

[CHRDANHUTCH]

RW III added to injury management list as he has contracted the Jaylen Brown knee soreness and is listed as Questionable tonight @ Staples.

Beat LA !!

 

[BernieMcAvoy]

The end of the bench still sucks. No way IT is worse than either one of Waters or Edwards

 

[Smitty93]

Absolutely embarrassing finish

 

[CDJ]

I find it hard to be embarrassed in a decisive win. I’m actually almost more impressed than embarrassed at Wagner being a -20 in 5 min


Jaylen is preposterous

 

[Maine Fan]

Both LA and Boston had players out. LA, of course, had the most valuable out. Celtic's had a great game. Tristan Thompson filled in for Robert Williams, who was out injured, he had a terrific game. Brown, nothing needs to be said, he did it. Kemba Walker had a good game, fewer TOs, better percentage with FGs & 3Ps. Marcus was Marcus, very much needed and delivered. Tatum was off with the points but had a good game. Pritchard had a good night. Because of the team effort last night they:

Had an unbeatable West coast, 3 game, trip.

Had there 5th consecutive win

Have won 7 of their last 8 games

Outstanding ride so far, keep it going, now at home for 3 games.

 

[pgm16]

Anytime you beat LA is good, Brad took a little too long to get the starters back in. But another win !!

 

[KrejciMVP]

what a road trip

 

[CHRDANHUTCH]

Steph and the Warriors Saturday @ the Garden in Primetime on ABC is next

 

[CHRDANHUTCH]

Celtics are now tied for the 4th seed with the Hawks

Does the draft this year stink? I haven’t heard much hype around the top guys as much as the last few years

seems like merely an Ok draft

I think Cade Cunningham is legit tho, he will probably be a star

 

[CHRDANHUTCH]

Dwayne Wade, who put the Miami Heat on his back during his playing career.... and then founded Budweiser Zero has joined the ownership group of the Utah Jazz

 

[BostonBob]

This is an " under the radar " type of move that could pay off huge down the road:
