Man, we need Bucks Vs Celtics in the ECF. Home court is going to be so clutch.

My god that's a steep price for a 36 year old PG. Celtics want to win it all this year.

Jrue is 33, but yeah that's a lot... Especially considering how good Rob Will is and how injury prone KP is

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

Williams is good when he plays, but he averages like 45 games a year. He's just not reliable.

Horford has to fall off at some point, right? RIGHT?!

I hate the celtics so hopefully

Felt like horford has been like the same the past 10 years lol

He's 33 so that makes it a lil better

I'm not a fan of the changes by the Celtics. It doesn't look like an upgrade. We'll just have to see how it plays out.

That's a haul in total for Portland though for Dame.

Celtics going all in to win the championship.

What is the trade package? I can't see it from the link.

Jrue Holiday for Time Lord, Brogdon, a GSW '24 1st Rd Pick (top 4 protected), and a Celtics unprotected '29 1st Rd Pick.

Spacing is going to be huge for the Celts now. Everyone up and down the starting lineup can shoot. Defensively the back court is a lockdown. But unless Al can put up 30+ mins a game the front court will be weak to strong bigs.

Bench got a little thinner without Grant and Malcolm, but Pritchard is hungry and now has his chance to shine with extra minutes. Hauser has yet one more season under his belt, I have high hopes that he will continue his great play from last year. But no doubt our bench will be tested this year.

Jrue cannot shoot in the playoffs. He was Bledsoe on offense.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

As much as I love Smart, his playoff shooting wasn't much better. But at least Jrue can contribute on offense in other ways and the Celts still has four other options now for outside shooting.

Too much was being expected of Jrue on the Bucks. They wanted him to create and facilitate off the dribble when he's really a shooting guard. I think if you take a lot of that perimeter scoring off of his plate, he'll be a lot more efficient with the looks he gets.
