10/25: Celtics@Knicks

I didn’t LOVE the trade but it’s undeniable now. He provides a different dimension than Smart and is something the Celtics (and most teams) don’t have.
The pick and pop game with the Jays, he can post up. He’s going to be a weapon
What a debut for KP! Someone mentioned it's an all-time scoring record for a new Celtic.
And I really like Doc as an analyst

Can you imagine if the Cs lost by 4 and missed 12 FTs? We wouldn't be caring about TOs.
I wonder if he's said any shit about the Utah Jazz in the last few years.
I need a GIF of Al Horford hanging on the rim smacking Randle in the face with his ass. Was with about a minute left in the first half, they had a nice baseline replay.
Jaylen Brown is an elite scorer, 11pts is going to catch heat
It doesn't matter if it's Game #1 or Game #82

so game one we get a "they can win when the threes aren't falling" game. on the road against a playoff team
If this wasn’t a Celtics game I woulda tuned out an hour ago. The refs watched a 30 minute sitcom “under the hood today”. NBA needs a pitch clock.
That said, happy to steal the win after the 3 play gag by JB.
Offense will get better. Defense is clearly elite. End of game execution shaky but it’s the first game of the season so I’ll give it a pass.
But they lose that game 10/10 times last season. Got smoked from deep and found a way to grind out an ugly win. That’s what they could not do last year.

For all the talk about losing the ability to have a PG who can defend bigs…Jrue spent an awful lot of time tonight giving big guys trouble.
Yup, seems like a game they may have lost last year. Not great tonight, as the Knicks gagged up the foul shots, but KP and Tatum looked awesome.
This was a lazy narrative last year and will be a lazy one this year too.
Fun gutsy win. Not a lot of games go your way with that 3P % disparity.
Vegas had the C's -3.5, so it was pretty much exactly as close as Vegas wanted it to be.
Knicks foul shots balanced out their 3 point luck.
The Tatum/Porzingis game will be fun to watch.
Brown will bounce back when he takes his talents to South Beach Friday night.

He only took 11 shots.
If KP and JT are going to go off for 30+, I'm just fine with him taking a backseat and giving us 5 assists..
Gave Randle trouble all night and also completely shut down Brunson in isolation on the last possession nearly forcing a walk off steal. He’s a better defender than Smart and it’s not particularly close.
It's going to take some time to gel, but MAN I am still so excited about this team and this season.
Porzingis looks so good on this team. If we could chuck it into the ocean from 3 it would have been much more comfortable, even accounting for average FT shooting from NY.
Keep it going.

Keep it going.
Even if one or both of the Jays are off, they both command so much attention and defenses don’t want them driving.
It’s no wonder he looks like a kid in a candy store
NHL and NBA are still in the figuring it out like dumb babies phase where they are under the mistaken belief that perfection matters.
The T reviews and that kind of shit need to be gone yesterday. Waste of everybody’s time and at the end of the day nobody gives a shit about losing a FT here and there in an 82 game regular season that everyone not financially invested already agrees is at least a dozen games too long.
Yup. The spacing is going to be so good this year. It’s basically the opposite of what the Patriots have.
I think that might just be Hauser. I'm not convinced he's an NBA player.
Agreed.
The ire should be for the bench that gave them nothing. PP and Hauser missing every 3 they took and Kornet looking awful.
Kornet played awful but he looked great. There was one part of the game where the piano part of Still Dre was going and Luke looked like he was floating up the court.
I’m more concerned about Pritchard. If he can’t make shots, he’s a massive negative
PP and Hauser took 8 shots total. While they cannot continue to go 1-8, I see no reason to believe they will continue to go 0-7 from 3 every night.
Not sure I disagree.
Beginning of last year, I thought he looked like he had one of the purest strokes from 3 I've seen.
Now, that stroke looks really strange to me for some reason.
I'm not capable of putting it together, but would love to see progressions of his shooting stroke over the past year. He went through a big dip last December shooting, continued a bit in January, then figured it out for the remainder of the year, but to me, he's looking like he did in December again.
