2/12 Morant, Memphis, Matinee

[Zereck]

I feel like the Celtics way overuse their alternate jerseys. Today should be a traditional look.

The jerseys are Bill Russell tributes on his birthday.

 

[AMS25]

Is Muscala going to be one of these bros that really benefits from playing on an awesome team because he is looking solid

LOL; he was solid for the Thunder all season!

 

[Imbricus]

This team is so absurdly deep. Crazy. Only concern I have right now is Time Lord hasn't been moving right for a few games now. Hope he's just shaking off the rust.

 

[Ed Hillel]

The Celtics roster is achieving full Yin Yang

 

[ifmanis5]

That TL alley oop hit the spot.

Check the rim, might be crooked again.

 

[benhogan]

how many fouls/game does D White draw while playing defense? its insane

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

LOL; he was solid for the Thunder all season!

To be fair, a lot of Boston fans (not NBA fans or fans here) didn't even know of him a few days ago. Muscala's sneaker brand penetration stops at his DNA-ties.

 

[chilidawg]

This lineup is lonnnng.

 

[The Mort Report]

ooooo look at that pinkie ouch

 

[128]

Another C's injury, this one to Horford.

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

The Grizzlies ceiling is really defined by Dillon Brooks. As a C's fan I am stoked they didn't upgrade there. As a basketball fan, they absolutely needed to upgrade there.

 

[JCizzle]

OUCH

 

[bigq]

This is fun.

 

[JCizzle]

The jerseys are Bill Russell tributes on his birthday.

Learning that I'm about as wrong as you can be!

 

[luckiestman]

This team is so absurdly deep. Crazy. Only concern I have right now is Time Lord hasn't been moving right for a few games now. Hope he's just shaking off the rust.

My hope is he is picking his spots.

 

[bankshot1]

That ball movement is like the inner working of a Patek Phillipe. Precise and beautiful.

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

This half has simply been a joy.

 

[CoffeeNerdness]

ooooo look at that pinkie ouch

Looked like they ended up taping the middle finger. Doris acted like they needed to amputate the pinkie.

 

[Reverend]

Listening to national commentators talk as though they hadn’t just watched this team a couple of days ago is grating. I get that it’s part of the business, but… it grates.

 

[chilidawg]

This half has simply been a joy.

Nice to have the early season shooting back.

 

[benhogan]

cleaned up the turnovers and dominated

 

[Imbricus]

Yeah, one thing you can't accuse the Celtics of this game: that low Sunday afternoon energy. They're all in; they want to show the Grizzlies they're the better team.

 

[Bob Montgomerys Helmet Hat]

Yeah, one thing you can't accuse the Celtics of this game: that low Sunday afternoon energy. They're all in; they want to show the Grizzlies they're the better team.

Even 2 starters down

 

[Mooch]

Adding Moose makes this Celtics team insanely deep at all positions. Very impressed with his skillset.

 

[benhogan]

Zion gets reinjured.

NOLA was a fun story for a while

 

[mikeot]

This team is so absurdly deep. Crazy. Only concern I have right now is Time Lord hasn't been moving right for a few games now. Hope he's just shaking off the rust.

My hope is he is picking his spots.

Indeed, preservation is paramount.

 

[Tudor Fever]

If they un-dislocate (locate?) Al’s pinky, can he play the second half?

Edit: yep.

 

[Euclis20]

Even 2 starters down

And missing their 6th man. Last month when Ja basically said the Celtics were the only team he worried about, most of the NBA landscape took it as an insult against a half dozen other top teams (as they should), but it should also signal that Ja and the Grizzlies should get up for the Celtics in their last matchup of the season. Not really the case so far.

 

[ifmanis5]

Every time TL hits the floor it's the same feeling when Gronk got hit hard. Just hope he gets up.

 

[Ale Xander]

Overslept my nap

not happy with Doris

 

[bigq]

Rob Williams is pretty good on the offensive boards.

 

[128]

Might be time for a timeout, Joe.

 

[Helmet Head]

Joe.

Just call a timeout man

 

[MyDaughterLovesTomGordon]

Two made buckets in a row where the Cs looked at Joe expecting a timeout and didn't get it. Weird to see.

 

[128]

C's are a trainwreck this quarter.

 

[Lazy vs Crazy]

Joe, buddy, this lineup sucked to open the game and is sucking now.

 

[ifmanis5]

Awful stretch here and once again Joe let's it go way too long.

 

[Imbricus]

Psst, Joe. That was when you were supposed to call time out.

 

[Helmet Head]

Timeout was 3 possessions too late

 

[The Mort Report]

I'm normally ok with how Joe calls timeouts, but one really needed to be called when they cut the lead to 5

 

[JCizzle]

Joe might be a bit stubborn for his own good. Don't love that he has his style and refuses to adapt. What happens long term with that approach? You need to work around each roster.

 

[chilidawg]

How many times is White going to get clobbered without a call?

 

[Tudor Fever]

I believe that they are 1 for 12 this quarter

 

[Lazy vs Crazy]

Al is really off.

 

[128]

I appreciate Grant Williams' willingness to help with the broom, but it would be nice if he made some shots today.

 

[JCizzle]

Al is really off.

Might need to stop shooting with that finger.

 

[Helmet Head]

Morant has prefected the art of flopping

 

[Lazy vs Crazy]

Here come the refs and the Celtics mental is getting boomed. This could get real ugly.

 

[bigq]

I like Sam Haus3r

 

[radsoxfan]

Should it be a foul if you hit the back of Morant's hair?

That take foul call was hideously bad.
