I was very critical of mazzulla last season but im loving everything im hearing from him. Sounds like he’s starting to figure this out

Ex Celtics last night

Marcus Smart, started, shot 6-11, 2-6 from three, 17 points, 3 assists, 0 rebounds, 2 steals, and 5 turnovers in 32 minutes

Grant Williams, started, shot 6-11, 4-8 from three, 17 points, 6 rebounds, 0 assists, 1 block and 3 turnovers in 35 minutes

Robert Williams, came off the bench, shot 5-7, 10 points, 7 rebounds, 0 assists, 3 steals, 1 block, and 2 turnovers in 23 minutes

Malcolm Brogdon, came off the bench, shot 8-16, 3-5 from three, 20 points, 2 rebounds, 5 assists, 1 turnover in 23 minutes

crine at smart turnovers

not having Brogdon off the bench this year is going to be different

JB + bench lineup is ASS when JB isnt cooking. they were STRUGGLING

Bench is definitely still going to need some tweaks i assume we’ll be active around the deadline

I was iffy on Porzingis from the jump just due to injury history, but all that went out the window as soon as the game started last night. Worth it. Lets f***ing go

some of y’all thought trading smart for porzingis was a bad trade 😭

2-0 ☘️

D white such a beast

Derrick white

82-0 season incoming

Really liking the timing of these Al for Porzingis rotations if they both get the rest they need we stay injury free and the team stays tough

I love it

the look down at his hand after

This season is gonna be wild lmao

JAYLEN

This is how I want us to play every night

We winnin this year fr

Some thoughts so far

Our top 5 is f***ing ridiculous. If everyone stays healthy (big if), they’re borderline unstoppable. If you can manage to stop Tatum and Brown, you have to deal with Kristaps. If miraculously all 3 have a bad game, we still have two borderline all star level guards to fall back on, who also happen to be 2 of the best defenders in the league. All 5 compliment each other so well. The starting 5 might have the potential to be better than 08…

Cant really tell if Al has regressed a lot or if he’s just not comfortable in the bench role yet. Assuming this is probably his last year.

Pritchard and Hauser have been underwhelming so far. The bench needs some serious help. Hopefully some decent talent is available around the deadline for Brad to strengthen the bench

Fingers crossed the days of playing down to bad teams are behind us

Seeing marcus on the grizzlies makes me sad :/

He dont wanna be there

need him to purposely be complete ass until the trade deadline so we pick him up for cheap and bring him home

The crazy thing is i could actually see this happening

lmao no way man, grizz need him and he's playing well as far as I can tell
