The SL Announcer Paid a Huge Compliment to the Celtics last night

[DefenseWinsChamps]

Did you here how he said something like, "To me, the Celtics are like a Western Conference team."

I think he was talking about our three-point shooting scheme, but it still felt like huge compliment.

I can see it from that angle. 

Just looking at the Eastern Conference playoffs, most of those games were slogs.  A lot of teams in the East play a relatively ugly style.  That's due to the lack of offensive talent and also a number of coaches that are about a decade behind the times in their offensive schemes.

I look at the Celts like a less talented, younger version of the Hawks.

Danny's vision is becoming as clear a Sully's gut.......

I find it really funny some of you guys still don't get what he's doing.

He just wants every asset possible.   He trades for a better player if he's available and he drafts BPA.

And Greg Steimsma was the next Bill Russell

This season is going to be really interesting. With Olynyk and Amir, the Celtics will be capable of putting five 3-point shooters on the floor at a given time. Sullinger's 3-point shooting might be a failed experiment but he's still got consistent 18-foot range. If Smart can translate his aggressiveness from the summer league into League play, he'll have some open lanes or some open shooters. Then it's just a matter of making shots.

  Jerebko and Amir will be the bigs in at the end of the game I wager.  Maybe Amir and Olynyk some.   Sully can't play D and I do not think CBS trusts him.  Any thing Sully gives you on offense he kills you on defense.  The others guys have more give than take.  I honestly hope we deal Sully for a guy who plays on both ends.

Thats why I'm happy the Cs skipped the Orlando Summer League.  The better comp is in the west and in front of a big time crowd.

If I recall correctly they said that about the Celtics and the Sixers.  They were talking about their faster pace of play than most East teams.

I think you're underrating Sully on defense. He doesn't block shots or get steals but he's a wide body who stays in front of people. I remember the game at home against Sacramento last season, he was the only one on the team who could keep Cousins in front of him. Zeller got absolutely demolished.

I wouldn't bet against Amir and Jerebko finishing games. There are only a handful of teams left in the NBA that would have too many bigs to make that a problem defensively and offensively, we could put a hell of a shooting team on the floor.
