All I want for Christmas is to watch a team that consistently cares as much as the fans do

Sabonis!!!!

A Covid-less world.

Merry Christmas everyone!

All I want for Celtics Christmas is enjoyable competitive basketball.

All I want for Christmas is a better tomorrow for us all.

An offensive system that relies on ball movement and getting players open looks so we stop choking away games when our offense goes stagnant late.

I have some Christmas wishes for some of our players:

For Smart: I wish for steady IQ to run the team. He’s become the C’s best playmaker behind Tatum. He needs to keep developing this and become a steady vet presence

For Brown: I wish for off-ball defensive IQ. He’s already a strong on-ball defender but Brown is the guy opposing teams want in action (not in iso) because he’s likely to miss his assignment among our heavy-minutes players

For Tatum: I wish for his shot back. I think Tatum takes a lot of decent-looking shots (when they’re not low clock shots) but he’s missed a bunch of them this year from both inside and outside.  Subpar efficiency for his standards and we need him to be elite

For Horford: I wish for selfishness. When he gets back, he needs to demand the ball more. Let things run through him more

For Timelord: I wish for a jump hook. The dunks are loud but he becomes an even bigger threat if he can be a dump off target 10ft from the basket instead of under it

For Pritchard: I wish for him to stop dribbling. He’s not a playmaker. Just shoot it, man! Keep shooting!

For Langford: I wish for health. He’s always a minor injury away from being shelved again.

Y'know, I was with ya all the way up until Pritch.

I want him to do the opposite and KEEP dribbling. Today he had at least 1 good shot off the dribble. Problem is, he *stops* dribbling too often, when surrounded by a crowd.

That's his problem, imo. So, Pritch, when you DO dribble? Keep it up buddy. :]

Well that’s true too. He often dribbles himself into a crowd and then picks it up. However, when he does dribble, he tends to overdribble imo. It’s like he’s looking for the assist instead of just keeping the ball moving or having it swing to opposite side for a different look.

Think shot first PP! Let others (Tatum, Smart, Horford, Brown, Schroeder) worry about running the team offense!
