    Celtics vs Da Culture - Round 1 (FIGHT!)

    +1 If we can't bash Heat players unfettered what are we doing here? Replacing a key cog from the greatest NBA offense of All-Time for Bam's 53% eFG would be malpractice.

    Celtics vs Da Culture - Round 1 (FIGHT!)

    I don't hate Bam, but definitely don't think he is a TOP20-30 NBA player. IMO defense-first Centers, that run around screening on offense are a great place to find value in the NBA Question, would you swap KP for Bam for these playoffs?

    Celtics vs Da Culture - Round 1 (FIGHT!)

    Miami would be better off trading Bam for a skilled WING & adding Tillman on the cheap in FA That's why any of those lists that have Bam or Gobert ranked ahead of Jaylen Brown are laughable.

    Celtics vs Da Culture - Round 1 (FIGHT!)

    For this current version of the Celtics, I'd rather have KP than Bam. If I was building from the ground up maybe Bam (health reasons), but it's a tough call. Having a starting Center able to shoot volume 3s is almost a must-have for a contender. Defense-first centers are helpful but can be...

    Celtics vs Da Culture - Round 1 (FIGHT!)

    That's a fair question to ask and it's something we've been kicking around here all season. Does Tatum taking a low % shot draw attention, provide diversity, and help other shooters? IDK, but don't think so. Maybe it helps the offensive rebounding metrics ;) If Tatum consistently gets doubled...

    Celtics vs Da Culture - Round 1 (FIGHT!)

    IMO there is a basic hierarchy on the 3-point shot: 1. Corner 3s > Above-the-Break (ATB) 3s 2. Catch-n-Shoot (C&S) 3s > Pull-Up 3s 3. Wide-open 3s > Tightly Guarded 3s https://www.nba.com/stats/team/1610612738/shots-dash Obviously, certain players excel at different spots. Jrue...

    Celtics vs Da Culture - Round 1 (FIGHT!)

    Agreed. I'd rather not see early shot clock Tatum ATB 3s from the right side (44% vs 23% is pretty stark) Tatum squared up his shoulders when shooting 3s much better from the left side vs the right side, this entire season. It was noticeable for the first time in his career...

    Celtics vs Da Culture - Round 1 (FIGHT!)

    Good point. With Butler out they lack the Alpha hunter to go after PP After CJM reviews the tape, I bet we'll see a little more of PP/Hauser going forward in this series. Not to "goon it up" but Bam needs to be introduced to Tillman for 4-5 minutes. As far as shot selection, opting for open...

    Celtics vs Da Culture - Round 1 (FIGHT!)

    Agreed. Joe has tape to work on & they witnessed what happens if they take their foot off the pedal. A 20-point win is probably a better outcome than a 35-point blowout Jaylen got beat back door a bunch. Celtic on-ball defensive intensity & connectedness will dictate how far they go in the...

    Yep, but it actually was even better than that Boston walked away with two Firsts (used for Jrue & a bushel of 2nds) & unloaded Gallinari $$$ on the Wizards

    he usually enters in the middle of Q1 & Q3. Up 30, nothing to see there, but thought his 3s provided some nice early separation
