Celtics Talk / Re: Tatum and Holiday make Olympic Team

I’d rather Jrue give up his spot to Jaylen or White. He’s older and we just signed him to a huge extension.

Hopefully they don’t forcefeed our guys too many minutes. But congratulations to them for making the team

I like the idea of the play-in tournament, but I think they should change to rules for seeding.  I think the teams should be able to pick their opponent.  The downside of being the #1 seed is that you’re the last team to know who you’re playing and be able to plan around that

Boo  :-\ that run between the 2nd and 3rd killed us

It was a full-on quit job reminiscent of game 7 against Miami last year. Never seen a team fold like that live. I legit wish I'd stayed home.

Especially disappointed in Queta and Davison. Queta just disappeared and Davison went full Marcus Smart hero mode.

Awful night.

Yeah, Davidson was terrible during that stretch.  Bad turnovers, forced shots, driving into the paint without a plan.

That said, I think it was four games in five nights for the guys who filled in on the Celtics.  I thought for sure we were going to win after tying it up at 34.  They then went on a 29-6 run to finish the half.

the problem with the play in is, generally (except for miami last year) the better team wins in a 7 game series.

in a play in type format and this "any given night" nature like the regular season. one guy on a garbage team can go off, they can shoot generational from 3 and thats it....game over...

vs having a whole season where you are 7-10 games better than that other team.

That's also sort of the reason that the better team advancing isn't important; most of the time they're just gonna get stomped by the 1 or 2 seed, no matter if they were the 7th seed or the 10th. Sometimes it will mean the better or more exciting team gets eliminated early, but other times it means the opposite. And from the revenue perspective, 6 guaranteed important games (plus a lower chance of tanking from some teams) offsets the potential losses

11 of the 12 announced includes Tatum and Holiday.  Along with Lebron, Steph, KD, Embiid, Booker, AD, Ant, Bam, and Haliburton.

Can't imagine that team loses unless they end up with like 4 healthy players.

I'll be offline for most of the playoff run as per usual - hopefully, when the dust settles it will feature banner 18.

Enjoy the games everyone.

They said on commentary that Queta was ill? Not sure of what though.

ESPN: Who is stopping the Boston Celtics this year?

Kendrick Perkins: New York Knicks
Austin Rivers: Milwaukee Bucks
Ramona Shelburne: Miami Heat

 ???

I'm surprised they didn't mention the 76ers. But I think the Celtics, injuries, and Joe Mazzulla would be the ones to stop the Celtics this year before any of those teams do.
