Instead, the Sixers were coming off a B2B and sat literally every good player they have.
The Celts enter a B2B tonight against the Raptors and will probably do the same.
Way to go Adam Silver, you bozo.
I’m not here to care about feeling bad that the Sixers got whooped by a 50 burger.
I loved every second of it.
When the 2024-25 Celtics hit the court, it is pure basketball ecstasy.
It’s as simple as that.
Since it was declared that Jayson Tatum’s jumpshot was gone (????
), he’s shooting 40.9% from 3PT on 7.3 attempts.
I’m not a math guy, but that seems like a pretty good percentage on rather decent volume.
With Jaylen, he’s just playing more pissed off.
His frame looks bigger and his aggressiveness has been apparent since Game 1.
For the millionth time, thank you Steve Kerr.
- With Kristaps Porzingis out until Dec/Jan, Joe Mazzulla has a choice to make.
There are pros and cons to each I’d say.
Take Xavier Tillman for example.
How about 3-3 from deep off the bench?
So far in preseason, Tillman is shooting 75% from deep on 2.7 3PA a game.
Think whatever Brissy had last year, those are the minutes for Walsh this year.
Because Brad Stevens is a basketball genius, of course it does not stop there.
How about a 15th man that can do shit like this?
Right now you’re looking at Walsh and Sheierman as your only reserve wings after Hauser.
- This team fucks I’m afraid
Look at all that #MazzullaBall at the top of this list.
What a guy, what a system, what a coach.
- The best part about watching Sam Hauser is the fact that he simple never misses.
In fact, I’m shocked when Hauser even glazes the rim on his makes.
- 38 AST and only 13 TOs.
There’s no point in getting mad about it, that’s just reality.
The Bad
- Baylor doesn’t look close to ready.
That doesn’t mean he won’t one day look ready, but that day is not today.
Big picture is this is what you expect for the last pick of the 1st round.
His 2024-25 season is about developing in Maine, and if he proves to ready early, great.
But Year 1 and Year 2 are about learning how to play at the NBA level.
- Starters have been way too sloppy with the ball this preseason.
Still, take care of the ball.
I dunno, maybe the 10-14 from the line?
The good news is they’re back tonight in a game that should be nothing but the bench/deep bench.
