1/12/23 Celtics @ Swamp Dragons

[Spelunker]

I don't know if it's only Brooklyn or not, but to me Brooklyn doesn't light their crowd at all which makes it feel a lot darker.

It's like watching a basketball game at Death & Co.

 

[lars10]

Kyrie is getting fouls called for every time he creates contact.

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

Yeah the Coinbase Center or whatever bucketshop they call that arena these days is just a dark, dark place.

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

That take by Tatum...

 

[lars10]

That take by Tatum...

finger... roollllll

 

[Just a bit outside]

The ridiculous move by JT might get him going.

 

[lars10]

How is Warren even questioning if that's a foul? That's Harden's entire career.

 

[Just a bit outside]

Tatum was in trouble on that one. Smart play to get the foul.

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

The ridiculous move by JT might get him going.

He just flat goaded Warren into a foul.

 

[Imbricus]

Warren with the bailout foul.

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

Smart bleeding all over Barclays Center. Seems fitting.

 

[Pablo's TB Lover]

Yeah the Coinbase Center or whatever bucketshop they call that arena these days is just a dark, dark place.

You could probably mug a guy in the seating bowl without any witnesses seeing it.

 

[bigq]

Pretty good close out of the 1st half. Bury Brooklyn in the 2nd.

 

[Euclis20]

Warren with the bailout foul.

Tremendously dumb. Reaching 30+ feet from the basket when the dribble is gone and the shot clock is winding down (and the offensive player doesn't have a big size advantage), one of the dumbest fouls you'll see.

 

[djbayko]

Pretty possession.

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

Royce is rollin'.

 

[Jed Zeppelin]

Would be nice if the refs not to miss an obvious goaltend or the swipe foul before it.

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

Granit$

 

[djbayko]

What the fuck was that pass by Smart? I love him, but he occasionally makes some bone headed plays.

 

[Jed Zeppelin]

Would be nice if the refs not to miss an obvious goaltend or the swipe foul before it.

And Marcus not globetrotting/cheesedicking his way through half the possessions.

 

[Imbricus]

I like seeing Grant doing well, but in the back of my mind, I keep hearing that tiny voice, "he's getting paid, he's getting paid, he's getting paid."

 

[benhogan]

I can't believe we're not going to get 30 minutes of Brogdon.

He's our 2nd most skilled offensive player with JB out

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

I like seeing Grant doing well, but in the back of my mind, I keep hearing that tiny voice, "he's getting paid, he's getting paid, he's getting paid."

I feel like he was always getting paid but who knows. Players like him who come into the NBA and carve our roles early in their careers tend to do fairly well over time. Absent an injury or a freak regression he just seemed like he was destined to get a bag.

 

[Lazy vs Crazy]

Luke sure does have hands of stone.

 

[cardiacs]

kornet!!!

 

[SteveF]

Smart needs to learn to double tie his shoes.

 

[Lazy vs Crazy]

Jayson sure does hate getting back on defense when he is sad after missing a shot.

 

[chilidawg]

Tatum dogging it after the no call.

 

[benhogan]

the Tatum walk back yields an open 3

 

[Don Buddin's GS]

Simmons may be a good passer but he is useless as a scorer

 

[benhogan]

good foul Grant

 

[Jed Zeppelin]

I know it is life with a superstar but it’s so annoying when Tatum gets in the mode of walking it up the floor and jacking contested threes.

 

[Stu Nahan]

9-26 from three ain’t getting it done

 

[Jed Zeppelin]

What is the gene that makes Currys annoying little shits.

 

[Don Buddin's GS]

"Attack Robert Williams." Really Reggie, is that such a good idea? Particularly if you are the offensively challenged Ben Simmons, who has never met a shot he won't turn down?

 

[djbayko]

Simmons may be a good passer but he is useless as a scorer

Hmmmm...Interesting observation. I'll have to keep an eye on that

 

[Spelunker]

Miiiiight want to back off the stepbacks today, JT

 

[JCizzle]

What was that, PP?

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

Brogdon feels like he is about to shatter into a million little pieces on every sequence. Miraculously he hasn't yet.

 

[Jed Zeppelin]

Tatum can get any shot he wants but insists on contested threes out of rhythm tonight. Killing me.

 

[Imbricus]

Lucky we've got Pritch in there for rebounding.

 

[dhellers]

Lucky we've got Pritch in there for rebounding.

If only he could find his shooting stroke, he would be a valuable 15+ minute guy

 

[chilidawg]

Feels like Tatum hero ball is keeping Brooklyn in the game. Trust your teammates dude.

 

[Don Buddin's GS]

Hmmmm...Interesting observation. I'll have to keep an eye on that

Simmons has played 24 minutes and is 0-2 from the field.

 

[bigq]

Regardless of the outcome this is a fun game.

 

[mikeot]

Squeezing out another quarter-ending single-digit lead, what fun! One to go!

 

[Jed Zeppelin]

Feels like Tatum hero ball is keeping Brooklyn in the game. Trust your teammates dude.

Screens, give and gos, lots of ways to make it easier for yourself in a b2b. They have been getting super easy drive and kick opportunities for wide open looks or closeout attacks.

 

[The Hideous Locust]

My hatred for the Nets is nuclear.

 

[djbayko]

Simmons has played 24 minutes and is 0-2 from the field.

Yeah, it was a (bad?) joke because he's a notoriously terrible scorer, to the point where he's been a laughing stock of the NBA. Hence, the wink.

 

[Imbricus]

Regardless of the outcome this is a fun game.

Yeah definitely a good game. Easier on my blood pressure when the Celts are up by ten, but both teams are playing hard.
