Irate, insightful, not a diplomat, Sam's got a long list and it's just for rats. Rat list your wifi. Rat list your dog. Rat list lil Bronny. Rat list Lebron. Rat list the traffic. Rat list this song. Rat list this rat list that's getting too long.

Yes, Neemy wasn't the best defensively, but I think we're being harsh on him here, given the whole team struggled and Poeltl just wasn't going to miss regardless of whoever you put on him. I've gone back to watch every single Poeltl FG attempt, and out of 19 attempted, only around 6 were up against Queta, and he went 4/6, So 2 of his 3 misses were shots Queta contested. Poeltl just put up 25pts 18rebs in the last game too. I think people are suddenly forgetting how many NBA games Queta has actually played in his career. We've praised him before for not making the same mistake twice, so there's no reason to panic, I'm sure the coaches and himself will rewatch the game and work on it. His development from last season has been huge already, he'll only get better with reps. I'd say Boston's poor perimeter D is affecting the points in the paint a lot more than people seem to realise. Same thing with offensive rebounds, other than Neemy, Kornet, Al and sometimes PP, no one else boxes out, it's infuriating how many times people are just watching the ball. Not sure if its available anywhere, but I'd be really interested in finding out which players have grabbed the most offensive rebounds against Boston.
Neemies offensive rebounding seems to disappear when playing longer minutes.. the defense was rough but the offense has gotten better. I wouldn’t blame this game on neemy personally but I can see it… he did have an incredible block and was efficient. But would like to see the rebounding, be a point of emphasis for him. Because if he can get this team extra looks and just be a Reliable lob threat like tonight I can see him being useful. I think maybe he’s a little too overreactive on the perimeter defensively so he gets off-balance. He’s so long he doesn’t really need to do that. He can just recover. But hopefully he continues to grow defensively so he can realize where his strengths and weaknesses are, and use his athleticism and length to help cover them up.
Fair comment, Jack. And yes, all the Celtics were on a carrousel on defense. I agree Neemi is still not perfect but damn, was anyone good on defense? Or even on offense and 3pt? Anyways, I’m just annoyed about the hate on a dude that is allowing the team to remain with the SAME record than in 2023/24 without a generational talent like KP. But some fans know more ball than Joe so I’m giving on commentary on that account. I’m too old for that stuff. But just to clarify, your point on him getting better is well taken and factually correct Note: on the backpedaling part, which I had never considered, it’s a good obse (but why is at the perimeter then ? Is the double big line up hurting his development?). Keep up the good work. 😀
I’m with you. I can be patient for Neemy. I also wondered about the double big lineup teaching Neemy to roam around and most of the time he’s going to be alone in the paint. Only thing I could think was that they run double bigs with KP sometimes and maybe they want another big that can do that, though obviously to a lesser degree of success. I certainly don’t think tillman or Kornet fits the bill as a roamer. I would genuinely love to know what Joe thinks about our big rotations.
I read your article on hardwood Houdini about Maine Celtics. Of course, the one game I get to watch was an absolute shit show lol. I agree with your article. JD has grown. I would like to see him get some run here and there with the Celtics at least garbage time he has put in his dues. Peterson looked off. Really off bad turnovers too
@ that’s what I was leaning towards too, the timing with the injury was the only reason I even considered asking. I remember he had a cold spell last year too
If you are interested, here are the lyrics:

Yo
Yo

"What are we even doing here..."
(verse)
Yo, Wi-Fi laggin', but they holdin' it down,
How Bout them Jay-era Mazz-ballers runnin bean-town?
They say, "these guys are ridiculous!" yeah probably true
Like the '23 Celtics, they got a deep crew.
Pre-game Parle Papa, tryna make some bank,
Professor Pete reppin Latvia, KP to thank,
RJ's on the email takin fools to college,
Joey, Matt, T-moe, Robin, let's acknowledge.
(chorus)
“What are we even doin' here?” -we’re takin’ the crown,
Jack and Sam talkin' Celtics and breakin' it down
Competition can't keep up, they're startin to frown
“What are we even doin' here?”
(verse)
In the Garden, fightin’ for a quiet spot,
Jack's takin' notes while the crowd gets hot.
Irate, insightful, not a diplomat,
Sam's got a long list and it's just for rats.
Rat list your wifi. Rat list your dog.
Rat list lil Bronny. Rat list Lebron.
Rat list the traffic. Rat list this song.
Rat list this rat list that's getting too long.
(chorus)

Might think they’re chill, but don’t get it twisted,
They're not just husslin', they’re highly gifted,
Still new to the scene and makin' their mark,
It's a humble beginning, it's a hero's arc.
Sam’s keepin' it real with a snarky vibe,
But he’s all in with Jack when it's time to ride
Yo, asshat in the chat? Jack says “Don't come back,”
He's got zero patience for nonsense attacks.

This song is an absolute banger.
Thanks Joey. I looked up Ironclad Eats. 5 stars?! You’re killing it. No way I am passing through Portland and not stopping by.
@philliphart6327 thanks brother! We do our best.
Jack are u frozen, Sam are you there??? S/o to Phillip man, love it!! 😂
Hell yeah. There’s a shot out to you in the song too

Props to Jack for the vocabulary segment! Sieve: know it, love it, use it!
Much prefer your pod vs others. Mainly the CLNS guys Bobby and Sherrod. Those two don't know anything.

A regular season game but when Hauser rushed the court, the crowd erupted, and Al’s son hugged JT, I could imagine how much it meant to JT.
The Kings mascot looks like Mr. Met has an off-season gig.
Anime Jack and Sam killed me.

Any concerns about hausers shot? Or just another cold stretch? The only reason I even ask is because of the injury
I wouldn't worry. He has too large a sample size of elite shooting to think this is anything other than a slump imo. -Jack

You two have waaaaay too much experience with the taste of vomit.
