10/30: Celtics@Wizards

[jmcc5400]

Never knew how much I needed Jrue v Poole in my life

It makes my heart light.

 

[Auger34]

Jaylen can't even miss heat checks right now.

A few more, and I should be convinced we're better off with him than Grant Williams, but not sure.

Whoa! Hold on a second, THE Grant Williams?!

 

[McBride11]

Brissett must be in heaven playing with the starting 4 of 5

 

[reggiecleveland]

Brissett might be the best player on the Wizards.

Are you aware Kuzma played with the Lakers?

 

[JakeRae]

Why can’t our bench score? I don’t know how this team can succeed without a stronger bench.

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

Never knew how much I needed Jrue v Poole in my life

Jordan Poole is wearing the Holiday collection this evening.

 

[tims4wins]

Missed a FT. WNB.

 

[Auger34]

2-4 from the line just ain’t gonna cut it. He’s back to being 6th on the team roster

 

[Jed Zeppelin]

Gotta love Kuz. Nobody is happier than Kuz right now that he can do whatever he wants in this game.

 

[tims4wins]

That was a shitty shot by Tatum

 

[OnWisc]

Okay, lock it down.

 

[reggiecleveland]

effort on D has disappeared

 

[McBride11]

Really slowed down, the dream of 196 is dead

 

[tims4wins]

This feels super similar to the Knicks preseason game. Hopefully it doesn’t get as close.

 

[SteveF]

3 teams put up 42 in the first quarter so far tonight. Wolves, Nets, and the Celtics.

 

[Light-Tower-Power]

Why can’t our bench score? I don’t know how this team can succeed without a stronger bench.

They’ll have plenty of time to get some shooting practice in the fourth.

 

[128]

Gotta love Kuz. Nobody is happier than Kuz right now that he can do whatever he wants in this game.

This is Poole's kind of game, too. He'll get his points.

 

[benhogan]

Whoa! Hold on a second, THE Grant Williams?!

you and @Deathofthebambino going through your Game 1 Jaylen Brown receipts?

a few of us need a stern talking to

 

[Ed Hillel]

Too early for a "worst loss of the season" post?

Really let their foots off the gas!!!

LOL. No, I'm sure he'll make an almost turnover in the 2nd half at some point, and that will be that.

Never too early for the reverse jinx.

 

[Pablo's TB Lover]

Why can’t our bench score? I don’t know how this team can succeed without a stronger bench.

I'm not overly concerned yet, it just so happens that Hauser's and Pritchard's cold spells are happening at the same time during the start of the season. Once they revert to the mean the scoring will be there, and it will be a matter of supplementing this with defensive stops.

 

[OnWisc]

Get off to a good start.

 

[Ed Hillel]

Tatum is doing more work inside than I remember in the past.

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

He's coming for PP's ranking spot.

 

[McBride11]

Really slowed down, the dream of 196 is dead

edit - this was a half time post that was messed up bc of the SoSH reset at 8:06

 

[Ed Hillel]

lol this is just

 

[JakeRae]

This team might not be terrible.

 

[Pablo's TB Lover]

JB came to EAT.

 

[Light-Tower-Power]

Five of Yi Jianlin’s chairs might offer up more resistance than the Wizards are tonight.

 

[MyDaughterLovesTomGordon]

The Wizards seem offended that the Celtics would keep trying. Hitching your wagon to Jordan Poole is a choice.

 

[bigq]

Jaylen Brown is cooking with gas.

 

[Imbricus]

Damn. This whole team is a cheat code.

 

[Ed Hillel]

I like the version of this team that doesn't play down to its opponent.

 

[SteveF]

The post up may end up being the Celtics' most efficient way to get iso baskets when defenses sort of catch up to offensive sets once you get deeper into the playoffs.

 

[RSN Diaspora]

This arena is at least 60% Celtics fans

 

[Ed Hillel]

Probably about a good time to stretch the bench and start to work that out.

Why would the Wizards deserve more fans than that?

With the score being what it is I’m surprised it’s not 85%.

 

[JakeRae]

Top 6 probably won’t play in the 4th at this rate.

 

[OnWisc]

Wow. Terrible pass by Tatum.

The Wizard have scored 60% of the points the Cs have thus far too. Symmetry!

Yes, sometimes you just need to go old school and out-work the defender inside during a long series, after the opponent exhaustively scouts and over-plays Jaylen's or Jayson's side-step three point attempts, to name a few standard shots the Cs create.

 

[Ed Hillel]

lolol Porzingis

 

[Ed Hillel]

Porzingis was mad and had a huge size advantage. Should have gotten him the ball.

 

[OnWisc]

3 turnovers on the last 4 possessions?

 

[Ed Hillel]

Crafty move by Porzy

 

[JakeRae]

People would’ve killed Smart for that shot. Jrue shouldn’t be taking it either.

 

[Ed Hillel]

Come on Jrue, move the ball.

 

[Ed Hillel]

Three possessions in a row without a pass.

 

[MyDaughterLovesTomGordon]

Jaylen just going 1-on-2 and firing up the turnaround fadeaway. Why not?
