Grizzlies (34-21) at Celtics (40-16) Game #57 2/12/23

Anyone know when gallinari will be back?

Team is gonna have depth

I'd guess next season.

We will be even more deep next year.

It's got to be the right kind of depth though. If some guys who expect minutes aren't getting enough (Pritchard being an example) that could eventually become a problem.

Muscala and Gallinari might be overlapping skill sets, but next season is a long way away. Also Gallinari is going to be 35 coming off major knee surgery, so maybe he accepts a part time role?

This Celtics team has no player problems. PP had a really nice game today. Players buy into a championship team.

Yeah I didn't see a PP that was being a problem, not engaged, not playing hard.  I saw the exact opposite.  he was a contributor and ready to play.

That's what I'm seeing too. The internet age likes to stir the pot even if there is no spoon...

[footey]

Thought Tatum despite poor shooting night  had a good game, got his teammates good looks.

[Sophomore]

Muscala with 10pts and 5rebs in 17mins. I know he got torched several times by Morant, but who doesn’t.

Moose is just *slightly* better than Justin Jackson. Nice late season upgrade.

Can’t tell if this is sarcasm.  He’s probably already got more points as a Celtic than Jackson had all season

Understated for comic effect. Jackson seems like a nice guy who should go to Europe because he’s not an nba player. Moose looks like a great pickup. Beyond the hot shooting, he seems to play the game the right way (.5 second player) and his plus-minus numbers in OKC support the eye test that he contributes to winning. Really fits the team too. Five out or play with Rob.

[Ed Monix]

This is the Celtics identity we’ve been missing since Udoka.

[Phantom255x]

I really am feeling giddy about Hauser. I hate when we get torched in playoff series by the likes of Reddick/Korver, but we may now have one of our own with Hauser. Just a sharpshooter who can come off the bench, hit some 3s and keep things clicking (or help the offense). They don't even have to play great defense, just don't be a complete liability on that end which Hauser hasn't. Hauser though has gotten some bad whistles lately even when he's actually played solid defense.

This is the Celtics identity we’ve been missing since Udoka.

Who?

[Phantom255x]

Derrick White has been massive for this team.

Even with Smart missing a lot of time, White has seamlessly fit in and basically made it so that we haven't missed him. It's not just that White is scoring + hitting 3s, but he's playing very solid defense as well. He's an underrated player and an underrated weapon to have off the bench (when we're fully healthy)

Having Brogdon and White on this team is very nice. Gives us awesome bench depth that most other teams don't have

[Sophomore]

We got 14 offensive rebounds to their 3. Wow. Memphis is a long team, one of the best rebounding teams in the league.

[Silas]

Just looked at the box score and realized that 8/9 players who played today scored in double figures.  The one guy who didn't, Luke, only played 7min but lead the team with a +10.  Go figure.

The other great part is he's cheaply signed for next year. 

[SHAQATTACK]

D White and Brogdon are so awesome.

[SHAQATTACK]

White with 23pts,10assists, and 3rebs from our starting pg.

That Josh Richardson trade looks better and better.

I used to admire his skills on Spurs and wished he was a Celtics. As much as I appreciated JR s play ,  I had a feeling White was going to be better in the long run. He plays the game the right way.

Even without the somewhat astonishing consistency from 3, he makes contributions all over the court.

[radiohead]

If you told me that JT would score zero points in the second half of a game where we’re missing JB, Smart, and Brogdon…I would expect that to be a loss. What a nice win against a legit contender.
