Celtics weakness: A ball handler on the court who can create for others and can pressure the defense with penetration and driving

Opponent 1: Bucks. Cs wall off the paint so Giannis can't do typical Giannis things. Middleton and Bledsoe as the 2nd/3rd ball handler can create their own shot and drive. Took the Cs to 7 games
Opponent 2: Sixers. Cs wall off the paint so Simmons can't do typical Simmons things. Took Brett Brown 3 games to play TJ heavy minutes. Boston had no answer for him as he's able to drive and create (and hit a 15 footer).
Opponent 3: LeBrons. Cs wall of the paint so LeBron would have a harder time doing typical LeBron things. Cavs 2nd ball handlers can't blow by anyone or create for others.

Unless the Cavs hit their shots (which was the x factor for the 6ers), Cs will win

 

[God]

The disrespect.

If I’m Rodney Hood and my value was dwindling with every game, I’m doing whatever it takes to get my money.

right? Like i can't believe the rec league example was used. These guys are playing in the ECF with the best player who can get them into the finals. These aren't dudes playing at the rec center standing around because a teammate dribbles too much thinking about whether to go to in-n-out or grab some pizza.

Money is on the line. Hood's money is getting killed right now. Same with Clarkson. Its not a good look.

[QUOTE="yobyellav, post: 30050868, member: 46935"]I’ve always thought Kobe and westbrook had similar games on offense. They don’t pass the ball for movement and to beat the defense. They’re usually passing for an immediate shot attempt. The glaring defense is shot selection and that’s because of she they drive.



No hate; Bron’s one of the best though.

Fixed that for you...[/QUOTE]


If that helps you fell better, cool. I don’t see Bron passing the ball for it to lead to other passes to beat defenses. He makes a nice behind the back pass for an assist and he’s “one of the best passers ever.” Russ makes a simple dump off to Adams in the lane for an assist and he’s padding. Both chase rebounds so they can push the break. Russ drives the lane out of control and throws up a layup. Bron runs someone over for a layup and it’s rarely called. That’s what I see. Fan of both players.


at insubordination from Lue. Man, he’s the head coach. It’s his call. Unless you’re saying he answers to Bron. Either way, clarkson was benched as soon as Bron called him Crawford.

We allowed to dislike the warriors AND what bron did with Miami in here?

Cause I'm in that boat.. dirk a real one for 2011, also props to pop and co for '14.. warriors WERE cool for their first title

Started looking funny in the light soon as adversity hit thou.. draymond pullling a cp0 and going after dudes nuts and then steph throwing his mouth guard all willy nilly and then his wife saying the league is rigged

 

[junglejim]

I'll take the loss on the this one. I wasnt trying to compare the NBA to rec league, I was just trying to show that people tend to give more effort when they are moving around and getting easy buckets.

 

[MVP]

When has Bron ball worked when he hasn't had another dynamic scoring guard/playmaker next to him? How many finals in a row he made then?

Glad this myth of having Bron on ANY team will mean automatic Finals berth will be shattered as well this year.

 

[yobyellav]

Promise you if Russ was half as successful as LBJ he wouldn’t get criticized nearly as much.

Probably, but Bron has picked his own teammates for damn near a decade. We joke about it, but we know he’s been calling shots since he touched town in south beach. Pat wasn’t gonna be held hostage and he went back to Cleveland.

someone who gets it .you said it better then I did . You can pretty much win playing pickup ball with enough talent . In a better system he could've won more with the talented teams he's played on

If you are objective you either like or hate both.

Especially consider how dreadful the east is this year

Wiz, raptors, bucks, Cavs = crap
Sixers, Indy, Celtics = still young/super promising but still too young. and oh Celtics missing their 2 best players.

Gap between east and west is bigger then reported. Most of above mentioned teams wouldn’t make it past 1st let alone 2nd round in west.

 

[pums]

I just want to know if y’all going to put respeck back on Giannis’ name since he gave the Celtics the most trouble.

Khris Middleton>>>

Legit just rooted for whoever went up against those Miami teams

But warriors are THAT, but on steroids
