@@DarthRevan823 any time someone mentions it on twitter they get bullied by the entire heat fanbase (all 12 of them). It's always: - "if he stayed in the game then he wasn't actually injured. Clearly he's fake limping." - "Tyler Herro was also injured so it cancels out" as if Herro was also a 30ppg top 5 MVP candidate - "Tatum just choked as usual" while ignoring the game 7 vs Philly in the previous series - "we own you", "cry", "excuses"
I agree as a Cs fan but as unbiased sports fan I'm not gonna use it as an excuse. We shouldn't have been down 3 games ever to begin with and tho he's not nearly as important as Tatum, Miami WAS without Herro all things being fair. That said I mean obviously it's not a guarantee but atleast we would've lost with our best if we still ended up losing. I love Jaylen but he hella shrunk in that moment. I got faith he's bouncing back tho, he knows he fkd up.
If this crew can stay healthy, they will win it all this season. KP brings offensive versatility the Celtics haven't had before, and their half court offense will be much better when defenses tighten up in the postseason. The top 6 is set, Pritchard will be solid, and just 1 more player needs to be solid off the bench to have a strong 8 man rotation for the playoffs.
Yup. Kp and the jays screens/ pick and roll makes me excited for them. Brown and Tatum in past seasons had pretty much no two man action or really any synergy in playing off each other… they just took turns with the rock rather than create plays for each other. lebron and Russ vs Kobe and Shaq can show you the difference between playing as individuals rather than a true duo. I think KP can be that piece to finally get them scoring as a team and filling that gap as a solid screener for them. Also it becomes way less awful if their 3s aren’t quite sinking porzingis being such a giant can easily get those lobs and alleys to cash. I loved seeing him tip it in without even jumping 😂 Of course his shooting and other skills ain’t nothing to sneeze at, but I just listed the things that imo can have the biggest impact on the team as a whole in the way they play
@ramzeezthamightygod absolutely. The Heat zone defense flustered them. Now you have a huge target in the high post and so many threats to drive with knock down shooters all around. I can't wait to see what this team can do
@@EiLLskillz it was tough to watch🫣 but blockbuster brad definitely responded and it seems like mazzulla is too. Can’t wait to see how he develops as a coach as well… I know it’s only the media so I should take it with a grain of salt but watching him on JJ’s podcast and just how he’s interacting with players in camp gives me a lot of faith in his growth. He just had a lot of great insight into last season and addressed the many elephants in the room with poise. Last year was so hectic-you can tell there’s a lottt less tension between him and the players and just overall more of the connection you want to see on a strong team. One of the most important qualities in a coach is personal growth and perspective so it’s nice to see that he’s on that arch-it says a lot about his long term potential in that role. Unlike doc rivers😂
@@ramzeezthamightygod they couldn’t really create a 2 man game and play off each other. They were always guarded by the other teams best wing defenders so any screen they could just switch. Now they should have bigs on them more often, driving lanes should be clearer and passing angles should be clearer. I’m excited.
As a Celtic fan, I feel like getting Sam Casell as a coach is the biggest get. We can have all the talent, but Joe needs help. That was true in the ECF
@@CashColorCannabis To be fair Joe he was thrown into last season as head coach a day before preseason and on top of that his top assistant left for a head coach position at all-star break.
In all of porzingis interviews so far he said basically that his foot pain from the off season was bc of him changing shoes and he held off playing for Latvia in fiba to rehab, as well as Celtics staff ramping him up when he got to Boston. He said he has no pain and he doesn’t have too much weight on him so he shouldn’t be as injury prone as some bigger guys. And I think Horford is just so fundamentally sound he can play for a few more years at a high level. Imo I’m not as scared as the bucks bc they’re guard rotation outside of dame is kinda bad and they still have nobody to guard tatum who averaged 40 vs them last season and was undefeated
Bruh porzi doesn't have pain because he's not playing right now. Fasciitis is not something you cure or fix. It's a symptom of overuse. I don't understand why this isn't a concern since all starters get overused in the playoffs. This team is a giant cross your fingers team. The depth just isn't there now with brogdon and grant gone.
@@billybobby5247Not always true. You can get plantar fasciitis from under use when the ligaments atrophy, and when you start to walk or run, your foot stretches and becomes sore. You can absolutely get rid of it by exercises and PT... I had it before after being hospitalized and not walking much for 3 weeks.
Great video again! Of the concerns mentioned, depth is not he biggest issue, but health definitely can be a problem. I really hope KP can stay healthy, he never had the best injury luck and could use a full season of play. As I remember saying in a comment on the video about the Dame and Jrue trade, I like the Celtics roster a little more than the Bucks. Seeing them play in the pre-season, the Celtics look even better than I expected. All the guys I mentioned as roleplayers; Hauser, Mykhailiuk and Pritchard looked great. (Pre-season P the commentators called him because he was scorching hot) Having Delano Banton and Luke Kornet that can give some backup minutes also helped, especially Banton offers a lot of size for a ballhandler and Kornet is actually a good passer for his position. Its not true depth that is going to help them a lot in the playoffs, but certainly good for some minutes in the regular season, to give other players some rest. I haven't seen the other guys mentioned in the video play, but with all of them added, that is still quite a bit of depth which I didn't see coming. Ofcourse, a lot of this is from watching pre-season games, which is not the same as the actual games. However, considering the guys they have on the roster and how they performed in the past, they are still going to be good from 3 and good defensively.
it’s crazy because i didn’t even know kristaps played 65 games last year, that’s pretty good for someone who’s considered injury prone. loving the channel, great analysis!
I’m nervous but I’ll say this: Brad Stevens and Wyk have gone all in and I cannot fault them for that. They’ve given this team the best chance to win. Brad Stevens has to be one of the most underrated GM’s in all of sports. Obv hasn’t won (yet? 🤞🏼) but he’s been excellent
Agreed with everything you mentioned buuuuut if Celtics keep defense first, then shooting 3s secondly.... No team in the NBA can match the firepower and energy players coming off the bench. Embid and Greek freak can get their points and lose all season
I do not agree the Celtics have the best bench, but they have a lot of shooting for sure with Svi, Payton and Sam. Possibly White or Jrue coming off the bench is a great help too, for running second units. (they might stagger their minutes)
Great video. Your breakdown and takes are very similar to my own. I feel like the Celtics are going to take it this year. They were so close with that 0-3 “almost comeback” last year…that they are hungry and ready to go all the way.
Both D White and Peyton Pritchard are primed to have stellar breakout seasons, in contention for sixth man and most improved player awards respectively. Also, Celtics new backup big man Queta (runner up in MVP voting for the G league last season) has been impressive in Preseason. So Bostons depth isnt as suspect as some might think. Not to mention new acquisition Jeff Van Gundy is set to possibly pop off the bench and launch some 3s from the logo with everybody else 😂
I don’t think we should discount the Heat just yet. They aren’t my first choice by any means, but we just saw Jimmy absolutely destroy Jrue this year, and then go on to beat a much deeper Celtics team which have now LOST Grant Williams, Rob Williams, Malcolm Brogdon, and Marcus Smart. Not to mention they did it all without Tyler Herro. If Horford’s age kicks in this year, or any of that big 4 get injured, Heat could upset once again.
Heat have lost more than the Celtics because they tried to get Dame. Jimmy will also struggle health wise as he does every year after a deep playoff run. Add to the fact that the young stars add3d one year of xp and they'll destroy the Heat no problem.
@@gullintanni Off the top of my head I think they only lost Vincent and Strus, and I don’t remember Strus playing very well that series. Herro should be able to make up for what Vincent did. Let me know if I’m forgetting someone. The Celtics definitely should win, but there’s always that chance I think. If they could clean up their turn over and inconsistency issues, there should be no doubt who wins.
Yea I think the Heat, however good they performed last year, still has a slightly worse roster than last year. They can still make a move if they want to, but if it comes late then it might work against them with the on-court chemistry and familiarity of the plays.
Pritchard will do more than a fantastic job replacing Brogdon. The only tough loss is Grant because he was a big body 3 and D that could guard Embiid and Giannis.
They need to pick up another solid big but I think they will and I think that'll make a big difference and I do think they're better than the bucks. The bucks have real injury prone players too with Middleton. But both teams healthy I think the celtics beat them they typically beat them when they face off. Plus I think the bucks get a little too much credit for their championship. They beat a suns team that was totally fucked up during the finals. And they had the easiest road to the finals that year I think I've ever seen so I don't view them as this crazy mature team with a ton of experience. I mean let's be honest if the celtics played a team like that suns team the bucks beat. They woulda won that series too but instead they played the warriors who were at the time one of the scariest teams becuase of their experience. I wonder if the celfics had won a championship recently we'd be talking about them a lot differently.
i think the celtics just need one more player for their rotation, they got: Jrue, White, Pritchard, Brown, Tatum, Porzingis and Horford. They only need one more solid big man for the playoffs and then they gonna cook the league
The Celtics moves will definitely help with the offensive stagnation but the only thing that really matters is if they can stop turning the ball over so much. Their stars are just way too careless with the ball sometimes and Jaylen has proven when the games slows down his decision making is abysmal
Thanks for the video for my Cs. We have a better chance at beating the Bucks now with Jrue. Which is good cause MIL is pretty scary, but this Celtics team has a chance to be the best in this era of Tatum & Brown
Jrue is just a nice luxury. The Celtics are now in a position to beat the Bucks/Heat because of Zing/Queta/Walsh. To beat the Bucks you have to beat Giannis, not Middleton.
I’m basing it off his play style. He gets good numbers because he pumps the analytics (no midrange, just 3s and rim pressure). In the playoffs, half court setting, he doesn’t have the skills to pick apart a defense. Also he’s big, but doesn’t have a dominant physical advantage. He’s more like a Paul George, I think he’s be a great #2 option on a championship team
I didnt like the idea of them trading smart atleast for defense he definitely has some sketchy offense moments but his defense is always grrat but after getting holiday u got that defense back and yeah i onow hes bot the best offensive player in offense but hes not gonna be the 1st 2nd option on offense in the 4th quarter he can play off ball I honestly think if smart played more off ball they might have won in 2022
They’re didn’t win because they was all injured Brogdon injured Tatum got injured the last game on game 7 Blake injured Brown injured with stitches in his hand Danilo injured And rob came off a injury didn’t have time to get chemistry with the team
They also didn't play their normal schemes at points during the playoffs. Especially the J's went in to Iso-ball quite a bit, while as they are good players it can still work out, is definitely not why they excelled so much during the normal season.
Aye don’t forget we still have a couple first round picks. So come deadline we could make a trade if it’s needed. Incase someone gets injured (edit I wrote this before he talked about it in the vid my b)
Big Boston Celtics fan!! Chester baby!!! I think they should sign queeta to a full deal and let him replace Gabriel on the roster!! Just my thoughts!! Everything else looks great!!
I think that if the team remains relatively injury free (especially at playoff time), they should be fine. If they lose 1 or 2 big men though, its going to stink.
Kristaps Porzingas should change it all. Hell, I was about to give up on them and just be a Nuggets fan. I'm back and looking forward to seeing what they can do. Maybe a nuggets celtics finals!
@@three_conethe Astros are our Achilles heel so wish us luck!! I’m a Philly native (well kind of cause I lived in Philly since I was 4 and was born in NYC and started watching sports in Philly thanks to Desean Jackson when I was a teen) but I’m a guy that loves your content! Everybody make sure you’re notified for ThreeCone!
Hauser, Pritchard, Mykhailiuk, Banton and maybe Kornet, Stevens, Gabriel or Brissett. They don't need a ton of minutes out of these guys in the playoffs, but maybe during the regular season they do. I don't think their depth is bad at all, maybe a bit less quality for a playoff bench, but we will see.
@@pinobluevogel6458 I've said the same thing since he was drafted. and I've continued to be right. He fails when it ACTUALLY matters. lost to an 8 seed, got reverse swept by andrew wiggins, shot 30% in the finals, the list goes on
Celtics will be dominant during the regular season but I see them falling to get it done in the playoffs once again. Tatum, Brown, Holiday all have inconsistency issues in the playoffs and Porzingis has shown he never can stay healthy.
This is cope. Porzingas had his healthiest season and yet you completely discount the fact that Rob Williams and Brogdon are highly injury prone and the Celtics dumped them for far superior players. Casual take
This season Giannis is FEASTING on the Celtics lmao why tf they traded time lord, THEIR MAIN BIG MAN DEFENDER in a league DOMINATED by Giannis, AD, Jokic, and Embiid is wild to me.
You must not watch the Celtics much, because Rob wasn’t matched up on those guys very much at all. It was Al and Grant. Losing Grant’s defensive capabilities will hurt but I expect KP to fill in very well, just needs to stay healthy
@@paulg.dunphy1501 Al is an old ass man lets be real his offensive game may stay good because of his skill but his defense will continue to deteriorate, plus losing 2 top 3 defenders for old ass jrue and an injury prone 7'3 big is wild to me. To me this seems like Toronto all over again with Jimmy G instead of Bron. Like they dont hae a superstar, regardless of how you look at it they dont have a dude that can just create buckets when the team is down. What helped miami was that Jimmy and Caleb Martin could just create points out of nowhere But with the C's they dont got nobody. Brown cant go left, Tatum thinks he Kobe and tries to force things. Every other contender has a top 5-10 player but the Celtics dont really have a top 5-10 player.
@@gullintanni Here's 10 players i can name who are better than tatum. 1. Jokic 2. Giannis 3. Curry 4. Embiid 5. Butler 6. Luka 7. Kawhi 8.Bron 9.KD 10. Booker. Btw this isnt an ordered list its just mfs who are better than tatum. Also their defense may be good but if their offense is stagnant any defensive scheme gets exposed by a top 5-10 player in a 7 game series. That's what maked top 10 players, top 10 players. I have never seen Tatum do that. He can't even create offence on his own and he not an all nba defense guy so he's just stuck in limbo. Not a top 10 player but also not just an all star
Why r u acting like jrue on the Celtics is some magnificent special defensive thing. Smart literally beat out jrue for first team d every single year. EVERY SINGLE YEAR. at best the team is equal. Jrue choked In the playoffs. He won’t be an offensive guy there. There is zero reason for them to tear up the team for a Marcus smart clone. When they coulda kept Marcus smart
Casual. Jrue struggled in the playoffs that Middleton and Giannis got injured, forcing him into a scoring role he was not built for. As a 4th option he'll be a lot more efficient and he can focus on shutting down his man.
Jrue is for sure an upgrade over Smart. I like Smart a lot, but his decisionmaking isn't always top notch. Jrue can also fall into the trap of doing too many things, but on a team this stacked with players that need the ball and are threats to score, he will do better. Even back in his Pelicans days, he was tons better with Ingram and Lonzo on the floor. He shouldn't have to do too much and focus on what he is excellent at.
@@gullintanni I’m not a casual lol. I’m rubbing the exact things Celtics fans told us bucks fans back in there face every single year. Do you not remember Celtics fans saying smart over jrue? Smarts a better player? Lol. Jrue struggles with tempo. It’s always been why he has consistency issues. He’s not gonna be a massive improvement either way. Atleast smart could handle it being thrown up against a big here and there and jrue cannot. As if I don’t know Milwaukees playoffs history. Not sure why that was brought up. And btw jrue was a third option in Milwaukee most of his time sometimes a fourth behind Brook Lopez nets all time leading scorer, kmid and giannis. It doesn’t matter when your the primary ball handler you should be a threat to score any time. Or at least it helps a lot. In what ways will jrue help a lot compared to smart?
If they sign Dwight Howard as a bench player some how I feel like it would be crazy impactful he could guard Giannis Jokic and Embiid in the playoffs and it would make the team a bit more deep
Part of me wants this and the other part is like hell nahhh not another injury prone aging big who you can’t rely on to be his full self night after night. I love Dwight and he doesn’t get the credit he deserves… his game is also a great fit for that 7th man but I think we need someone who’s durable and young /able to take a lot of that physical pressure so that KP and Al don’t have to
Every year its the same Celtics media bait 😂😂. I just love how these homer videos are passed off as "just the facts" like these dude aren't playing to the Boston market. Its wild how jru was a hack who couldn't shoot or guard jimmy in milwaukee. And now he's elite at everything lmao
No we shouldn’t 😂 they literally going to be worse that last year. kp will be hurts for 50% of the games. Losing Marcus smart and lots of there depth. Going to be worse on defense aswell.
Jason brown -can't dribble left Jaylen tutum - humps the ball when he shoots Pozringis - glass Al harford - washed Drew holiday - Jimmy's son Derek white - pervert Celtics are trash
Well, come with your wallet stud! I’m right here to offer the bag to ya’ and you can put all the trash in there you like. Only, it won’t be this Celtics squad!!! So prior season get at me.. I’m predicting a 62 game win season!!! I got a rack of Benjamin’s to go with that!!!! So, come on…
I really think the biggest reason they lost to the heat was Tatum getting hurt at the very start of game 7 they lost all momentum after that
Facts it’s wild how nobody ever brings it up either
@@DarthRevan823 any time someone mentions it on twitter they get bullied by the entire heat fanbase (all 12 of them). It's always:

i think the celtics just need one more player for their rotation, they got: Jrue, White, Pritchard, Brown, Tatum, Porzingis and Horford. They only need one more solid big man for the playoffs and then they gonna cook the league
Svi Myhailiuk looks like a good addition. He plays defense, can pass and shoot really well and is pretty sturdy and strong.
The Celtics moves will definitely help with the offensive stagnation but the only thing that really matters is if they can stop turning the ball over so much. Their stars are just way too careless with the ball sometimes and Jaylen has proven when the games slows down his decision making is abysmal
Thanks for the video for my Cs. We have a better chance at beating the Bucks now with Jrue. Which is good cause MIL is pretty scary, but this Celtics team has a chance to be the best in this era of Tatum & Brown
Jrue is just a nice luxury. The Celtics are now in a position to beat the Bucks/Heat because of Zing/Queta/Walsh.
To beat the Bucks you have to beat Giannis, not Middleton.
Don't underestimate the Van Bundy hire.
Who?!
@@gc-ej5hfwe know what he meant
if KP can stay health its over not even Joker can beat them
This team will go as far as Tatum takes them, which won’t be to a championship
Prepare to eat your words. He'll retire with titles.
I’m a believer. He’s too talented to not at least win one or two chips in Boston.
What are you basing that on? He’s literally made the finals and finished top 4 in MVP voting?
I’m basing it off his play style. He gets good numbers because he pumps the analytics (no midrange, just 3s and rim pressure). In the playoffs, half court setting, he doesn’t have the skills to pick apart a defense. Also he’s big, but doesn’t have a dominant physical advantage. He’s more like a Paul George, I think he’s be a great #2 option on a championship team
@@anujshah6597he was most definitely utilizing the middy in the playoffs buddy rewatch it

I didnt like the idea of them trading smart atleast for defense he definitely has some sketchy offense moments but his defense is always grrat but after getting holiday u got that defense back and yeah i onow hes bot the best offensive player in offense but hes not gonna be the 1st 2nd option on offense in the 4th quarter he can play off ball
I honestly think if smart played more off ball they might have won in 2022
Celtics will have a top three defense and top three offense
6:33 Tacko Fall and Luke Kornet, but I get what you're saying since they aren't very good lol
You lost me at “I think Jrue brings a similar impact as DAMIEN LILLARD” I’m a bucks fan, no shot in hell
They’re didn’t win because they was all injured
Brogdon injured
Tatum got injured the last game on game 7
Blake injured
Brown injured with stitches in his hand
Danilo injured
And rob came off a injury didn’t have time to get chemistry with the team
They also didn't play their normal schemes at points during the playoffs. Especially the J's went in to Iso-ball quite a bit, while as they are good players it can still work out, is definitely not why they excelled so much during the normal season.
Great analysis
Aye don’t forget we still have a couple first round picks. So come deadline we could make a trade if it’s needed. Incase someone gets injured (edit I wrote this before he talked about it in the vid my b)
Boston is going to be defensively amazing
Big Boston Celtics fan!! Chester baby!!! I think they should sign queeta to a full deal and let him replace Gabriel on the roster!! Just my thoughts!! Everything else looks great!!
I would side with the Celtics over bucks. Simply because jrue can at least keep Damian in check and then Al is good against Giannis surprisingly
7:10 he's so hot
As a celtics fan I'm worried about us losing some depth but it will be amazing to watch.
The depth concern is such nonsense
@@camhoman657facts
@@camhoman657especially now with payton playing really good in this preseason and it should open up more for him in the regular season.
what does the 8th or 9th player really do for you be honest
I think that if the team remains relatively injury free (especially at playoff time), they should be fine. If they lose 1 or 2 big men though, its going to stink.
I just don't trust Porzingus to stay healthy. Gotta see it to believe it!
Fair enough. Celtics coaching staff and team doctors will I’m sure protect him as much as possible, keep him fresh. Sit him out when needed.
Hit LIKE if you want Porzingis to grow a moustache and mullet.
Kristaps Porzingas should change it all. Hell, I was about to give up on them and just be a Nuggets fan. I'm back
and looking forward to seeing what they can do. Maybe a nuggets celtics finals!
Kornet is 7'2" btw...

celtics wont win a chip before the lakers
Who's the Celtics 7-10 players? Pritxhard and who?
Banton and Kornet will get 12mpg. They don't need anything else unless someone gets injured.
@@gullintannithe bench is white pritchard Hauser Kornet lamar stevens Oshae brissett and svi. It’s actually not that bad
Hauser, Pritchard, Mykhailiuk, Banton and maybe Kornet, Stevens, Gabriel or Brissett. They don't need a ton of minutes out of these guys in the playoffs, but maybe during the regular season they do. I don't think their depth is bad at all, maybe a bit less quality for a playoff bench, but we will see.
Tacko fall😞
the celtics will never win a title in the "jayson tatum era". because tatum is a bum
Sounds great for a hot take. Don't know if it will age well though ;)
@@pinobluevogel6458 I've said the same thing since he was drafted. and I've continued to be right. He fails when it ACTUALLY matters. lost to an 8 seed, got reverse swept by andrew wiggins, shot 30% in the finals, the list goes on
Celtics will be dominant during the regular season but I see them falling to get it done in the playoffs once again. Tatum, Brown, Holiday all have inconsistency issues in the playoffs and Porzingis has shown he never can stay healthy.
This is cope. Porzingas had his healthiest season and yet you completely discount the fact that Rob Williams and Brogdon are highly injury prone and the Celtics dumped them for far superior players. Casual take
The team is trash
This season Giannis is FEASTING on the Celtics lmao why tf they traded time lord, THEIR MAIN BIG MAN DEFENDER in a league DOMINATED by Giannis, AD, Jokic, and Embiid is wild to me.
You must not watch the Celtics much, because Rob wasn’t matched up on those guys very much at all.
It was Al and Grant.
Losing Grant’s defensive capabilities will hurt but I expect KP to fill in very well, just needs to stay healthy
@@paulg.dunphy1501 Al is an old ass man lets be real his offensive game may stay good because of his skill but his defense will continue to deteriorate, plus losing 2 top 3 defenders for old ass jrue and an injury prone 7'3 big is wild to me. To me this seems like Toronto all over again with Jimmy G instead of Bron. Like they dont hae a superstar, regardless of how you look at it they dont have a dude that can just create buckets when the team is down.
What helped miami was that Jimmy and Caleb Martin could just create points out of nowhere But with the C's they dont got nobody. Brown cant go left, Tatum thinks he Kobe and tries to force things.
Every other contender has a top 5-10 player but the Celtics dont really have a top 5-10 player.
@@erdemeebilgee3584That's just pure ignorance. Tatum is close to top 5 and they have the best top 6 in the L which is who matters in the playoffs.
@@erdemeebilgee3584 his defense was good last year
@@gullintanni Here's 10 players i can name who are better than tatum.
1. Jokic
2. Giannis
3. Curry
4. Embiid
5. Butler
6. Luka
7. Kawhi
8.Bron
9.KD
10. Booker.
Btw this isnt an ordered list its just mfs who are better than tatum. Also their defense may be good but if their offense is stagnant any defensive scheme gets exposed by a top 5-10 player in a 7 game series. That's what maked top 10 players, top 10 players. I have never seen Tatum do that. He can't even create offence on his own and he not an all nba defense guy so he's just stuck in limbo. Not a top 10 player but also not just an all star
As a bucks fan we want Boston bucks in 6
I’d love to see that series
Nah Celtics In 6
Yeah how's that been going for ya lately?
Seven game series
@@mrunkindly4577bruh bucks haven’t even played Giannis or dame a minute yet in preseason lol
Why r u acting like jrue on the Celtics is some magnificent special defensive thing. Smart literally beat out jrue for first team d every single year. EVERY SINGLE YEAR. at best the team is equal. Jrue choked In the playoffs. He won’t be an offensive guy there. There is zero reason for them to tear up the team for a Marcus smart clone. When they coulda kept Marcus smart
Casual. Jrue struggled in the playoffs that Middleton and Giannis got injured, forcing him into a scoring role he was not built for. As a 4th option he'll be a lot more efficient and he can focus on shutting down his man.
The C's weren't winning with Smart.
Jrue is for sure an upgrade over Smart. I like Smart a lot, but his decisionmaking isn't always top notch. Jrue can also fall into the trap of doing too many things, but on a team this stacked with players that need the ball and are threats to score, he will do better.
Even back in his Pelicans days, he was tons better with Ingram and Lonzo on the floor. He shouldn't have to do too much and focus on what he is excellent at.
@@gullintanni I’m not a casual lol. I’m rubbing the exact things Celtics fans told us bucks fans back in there face every single year. Do you not remember Celtics fans saying smart over jrue? Smarts a better player? Lol. Jrue struggles with tempo. It’s always been why he has consistency issues. He’s not gonna be a massive improvement either way. Atleast smart could handle it being thrown up against a big here and there and jrue cannot. As if I don’t know Milwaukees playoffs history. Not sure why that was brought up. And btw jrue was a third option in Milwaukee most of his time sometimes a fourth behind Brook Lopez nets all time leading scorer, kmid and giannis. It doesn’t matter when your the primary ball handler you should be a threat to score any time. Or at least it helps a lot. In what ways will jrue help a lot compared to smart?
If they sign Dwight Howard as a bench player some how I feel like it would be crazy impactful he could guard Giannis Jokic and Embiid in the playoffs and it would make the team a bit more deep
Dude is too old I think and I don't think his personality will mesh with this group.
Part of me wants this and the other part is like hell nahhh not another injury prone aging big who you can’t rely on to be his full self night after night. I love Dwight and he doesn’t get the credit he deserves… his game is also a great fit for that 7th man but I think we need someone who’s durable and young /able to take a lot of that physical pressure so that KP and Al don’t have to
Tacko fall
Bla bla bla. Tatum is overrated robot. Brown chokes in the playoffs KP lol. Jrue Is on the downside of his prime
Every year its the same Celtics media bait 😂😂. I just love how these homer videos are passed off as "just the facts" like these dude aren't playing to the Boston market.
Its wild how jru was a hack who couldn't shoot or guard jimmy in milwaukee. And now he's elite at everything lmao
No we shouldn’t 😂 they literally going to be worse that last year. kp will be hurts for 50% of the games. Losing Marcus smart and lots of there depth. Going to be worse on defense aswell.
