I believe Horford is out tonight for rest?
This is actually an important game. They played really well vs NO and one would hope that they build on that - but the pattern all season so far has been to play like crap vs the less talented teams - especially defensively.
We'll know they're on the right track if they put these guys away early. If they struggle the malaise continues and the last game won't have meant much. I'd like to see a halftime score of something like 60-40.

Anyone miss JR Smith??
to be honest smith gets too much blame for that play. WHere was ty lue? They had a time out. Lue should have told the ref if they had the rebound he might call time out.Anyone miss JR Smith??
No, but I'm 100% sure LeBron doesn't. :angel:
Lol. Not much of a secret, but I just steal FLCF's old formats and edit in the current data, including who is hurt and who is starting. About the only original stuff I do is the game notes. So, yeah, you're going to see some strange stuff in the game threads before they are unlocked. And mistakes even after they are unlocked. 😁I believe Horford is out tonight for rest?You are correct.

At least Lebron is no longer in the starting line-up for CLE. That kind-of freaked me out yesterday when I saw this thread.
Great job once again, Nick, and go Cs!!
This is a MUST WIN. After losing in the ECF last year we followed up with getting our butt kicked twice by these clowns in the preseason. There is ZERO excuses that can be accepted for not winning this one.And those pre season games kind of laid the foundation for what we've seen to date from these guys.

Dunno maybe easier game of b2b
I'd day this is a pretty important game, also because 1st home game after a terrible road trip, as well as possibly the start of putting a few wins together in a row which will do wonders for the team psyche.This is a MUST WIN.

Having to watch the Cleveland broadcast is absolutely brutal
I love that Tatum floater....
I hate those kickouts for a 3 when the ball is in the lane for a layup
Typical terry. taking dumb shots. ball doesnt move once it hits his hands
I guess Clarkson is this game's opponent who can't miss.Lock him down , uggh
There's really no reason to be down 3 right now to this freakin' team at home... pathetic.

This team can NEVER capitalize on going ahead big in a game. Once they have some 8-12 point lead it disappears real quick.

Hayward has been great off the bench. Great play call Brad. Something at the rim instead of a 3.

Haha - I've been on this iteration of CB since Jan 07 (and two others before that where posts and tp counts were reset). It'll probably be a while before I get there...but I'll certainly take the parade!
Oh, and congrats Phantom! ;D
Essentially the Kyrie trade was for Sexton, Zizic and about 3 months of IT + Crowder. :o

Who someone started a thread about wanting to cut him. ;D
We're up by 30. Let's see the shiny new toy!
That was a great pass by Williams to Wannamaker. I mean a GREAT pass. He saw it before it even happened and it left his hands really quickly.
This is the way the Celtics should play against all crap teams at home. 3 wins in last 4 games. 3 wins where they controlled the game from the outset. I hope this means they have turned a corner because with the easier schedule over the next month, they should get a ton of Ws.
Williams no longer shooting 1.000% for the season :^(
GINO TIME
Have to buy more insurance for the equipment if Bob is going to play a lotlike the hoop?

i LIKE it, but then when he starts getting rotation minutes we have to change it
You figure the NBA would have found a way to not let rims break backboards back in the early 80's with Darryl Dawkins but nope. 20 years later they finally decided to do something because of Shaq. Typical David Sterns.Have to buy more insurance for the equipment if Bob is going to play a lotlike the hoop?
You’d be surprised how strong those are. Ever since shaq destroyed that hoop in the 90s they made it ultra strong. Lol

Started the game late due to being on-call with a late consult this afternoon, but it seems clear that we look so much better with Smart and Morris in the starting lineup. Having another playmaker has allowed Kyrie to play off the ball more, which he excels in. Until Hayward is fully back, I like starting Smart over Brown in the starting lineup, as it makes us that much more dynamic on both offense and defense.
So far this starting 5 have not been disappointing.
Though this game was against the bottom-dwelling Cavs. But it's a start. Let's keep killing teams. We need a groove.
I agree that in the last 2 games while playing against pathetic defenses, the Kyrie Smart tandem has looked good. But that was against dreadful defenses.Started the game late due to being on-call with a late consult this afternoon, but it seems clear that we look so much better with Smart and Morris in the starting lineup.

Agree. If it's good enough for Gordon to come off the bench right now it should be good enough for Jaylen as well.

what did the Wannamaker-Williams pick and roll look like?
we will soon find out how potent rally is the new starting five against a much better competition against theWolves.
My hope is they should never be playing from behind ever again which seems to be the norm during the time when the original starting five was KI,JB,Hayward,tatum and Al...for some reason Kyrie defers too much whith that starting five where as now, Kyrie asserts himself on offense then Smart helps out a lot on D hence we don't play from behind, I really hate those 25-10 starts when then we try and catch up with the score while Kyrie sits down for rest...
Now, when Krie sits, we are playing in front hence less pressure from GH and if ever, JB.
lets carry on with this starting five for the next 5 or so games and get a better sampling size.

Brown was coming out of his doldrums the four games before getting hurt hitting 19 of 31 for 12 points, 3 rebounds, 1 assist, 1 block and 1 steal per game in just 24 MPG.
I would have no problem with Stevens starting Brown again trying to build off what he was doing before the bump, but I would have no problem with going with Smart either.
I just think making a judgment on Smart's impact to the starters is probably hard to quantify given it's just two games, both against atrocious defensive teams. And, the Celtics seemed to start getting off to much faster starts in Brown's last 4 starts. So Stevens has two things to decide whether he wants to build on: Smart's performances in the last two games or Brown's improved play the 4 games before then.
I am good with either though prefer Smart off the bench.
I think Smart on the starting team will eventually limit Tatum's touches and I am not crazy about that. With Kyrie, Smart and Horford starting they will play the three man game from the top of the key while Tatum sits in a corner. With Smart on the bench and Brown starting, Tatum will be in that three man game and Brown will be the one sitting in the corner. I think that best for Tatum's development long term.

I’m coming more from the view Paul Pierce espoused. He said something to the effect of these guys are looking to establish their names but they need to instead be thinking about sacrifice. He said the way to make a name is to win. Tatum and brown will be successful NBA players for years to come. I’m not worried about their development. I’m happier if Tatum has less ball handling duties for the moment not more. He has been better this year so far getting his offense with less time handling the ball and making quicker moves that surprise the defense. I agree Brown can easily start, but I like Smart starting more.
