Celtics '23'24 - Are We Topped Out?

[The Q]

He definitely adds an element the C's needed. But can he stay healthy?

That’s a big reason to make depth trades

Keep him and al fresh and healthy for the offs

But can he stay healthy?

That's the question.

The Celtics are definitely managing him... Horford also.

But all that really matters is health at playoff time... and guys can't just be placed in bubble wrap until then... so...

... we'll see.

Not with that attitude they can’t…

I take back every nice thing I’ve said about them

Do you now take back your take back?

 

[Gman]

After 30 games...

• 24-6 overall record
• Breakdown is 15-0 at home, 9-6 on the road
• 6th in offensive ppg with 120.3 average scored
• 4th in defensive ppg with 110.3 average allowed
• 2nd in rebounding with 46.8 rpg
• 5th in blocks with 6.23 bpg
• 11th in 3pt FG% at 37.3%

3pt shooting continues to be the bellwether... however, because the Celtics are improved in basically every other statistical area, their margin for error is greater than it used to be.

Basically, if the C's are shooting the ball well... they're unbeatable. And if they're not shooting the ball well, they become mortal but still good.

20-0 at home to start the season.

Big game tonite. Looks like they are playing Jokic straight up so far on D

You have to. Too good a passer. He kills double teams.

 

[The Q]

They suck

They suck

Been tellin' y'all that for years. Glad you're starting to listen.

 

[The Q]

Why do I let them get my hopes up?

 

[LogicMan]

They suck

I think this is a good game to reflect on how to play them ahead. Denver played starters like it was a playoff game. It’s a good measure for Brad in the weeks ahead

They have the chips to make 2 deals but likely only make one

It was probably my fault for jinxing it with that "20-0" post.

I just got off the phone with Kristaps...

He told me the Celtics tanked the game last night as a goof... hoping to keep Darvin Ham as the LAL coach as long as possible.
