Comments From The Other Side - Timberwolves, Away

http://celticsgreen.blogspot.com/2016/02/comments-from-other-side-timberwolves.html



I hope we beat the Bostoneers They annoy me (MY NOTE: the "Bostoneers". I kinda like that)

After watching our effort at home against the Knicks last game out, it should be interesting seeing what team shows up tonight. I like how we match up but they have superior coaching and more depth.

Keys to the game
- score a bunch of points
- don’t allow a bunch of points
- make their worst scorer score
- play the game the right way
- avoidrian Payne

No Tommy Heinsohn at least

Smaller frontcourt so we may get good night out of our bigs. (MY NOTE: Man, did he ever nail that one right)

Good start for the Wolves Bad start for the refs

Celtics allow least assists in NBA. Ricky 4 assists in first 6 minutes.

does Amir Johnson wear short shorts?

Can somebody closeout on the fat dude

Dieng fouled IT pretty hard there Maybe they’re gonna let all the rim protectors play hard

Damn, Smart

Lavine with the comical turnover

Was more impressed with the fast hands by Smart

pretty sure it was just an incredible defensive play

What KAT is doing to Zeller is illegal in many states

Head coach prospect... Birthday boy Jim Peterson? Thoughts?

would rather we find the next Brad Stevens extra legwork, I know, but that’s life

When Evan Turner came out of college I thought he was going to be a monster. He started to look like a bust but happy to see he has become at least a serviceable role player.

Our passsing ability is so weak. Celtics are feasting off of these passes.

I like Smart's hair

Smart is a beast.

Celtics announcers have been good today. #NoTommy

Celtics defense is good at forcing turnovers.

Turner got some real skill, why is he so terrible all the time?

Why is the other team allowed to have a competent bench? I don’t get it.

The Celtics bring Smart, Turner, Olynykykyky, and Zeller off the bench. Does our bench have anybody as good as one of those guys?

Adreian Payne: The answer to the question nobody asked

It would be better to just have this lineup run the four corners until the shot clock is over and then get back on D

We need a couple tough defensive guys like these the Celtics on our bench next year.

And people wonder why we couldn't give away Martin and Payne at the deadline

Kmart has figured out that if you pick up your dribble and take your two steps And then get the whistle, the refs will let you take two more steps before shooting

Cousy and Cowens robbed by JPete

I was thinking the same thing Cowens doesn’t even get mentioned? At least have the decency to say his name while you leave him off the list (MY NOTE: This refers to Minny announcer Jim Peterson listing his all-time greatest Celtics. He had Russell, Bird, Hondo, McHale and Pierce)

I'm beginning to wonder if Martin is playing like crap to force the Wolves to a buyout on his terms

Little does he know that the organization doesn't care about anything

Boston's transition defense is exceptional.

When people say Wiggins is a good defender, they need to watch Smart...

KG with the green suit.

KG being KG

KG's Celtic Green street clothes are fly

Payne not killing anybody on that fastbreak was impressive

Rubio is a pretty effective counter for Zeke Thomas His length gives added issues for Thomas

Who the hell is Mickey

Jordan Mickey Rookie power forward who can dunk and block shots.

Crowder > Wiggins

Now, probably And for a lot longer I think

Is Jonah Jerebko a free agent next year?

Lorenzo Romar, WU hoops coach compared Kay Felder to Isaiah Thomas. Felder has shredded the NCAA this year, leading it in scoring and assists. And he’s tough as nails, unlike our current young backup whom I won’t name. Any Felder fans in here? Would he be a decent choice for round 2 to address the backup PG spot?

Rubio's defense on Thomas has been nothing short of spectacular.

Thomas makes lots of guards look silly and like they're in quicksand. Ricky is really making his life difficult.

Rubio oblitarated Thomas the first half.

Thoughts on this Jared Sullinger nickname I just came up with? "Boston Market"

Mitchell an army sargent? He sure knows how to drive a tank. We’d be winning by 25 if we had not played the subs like that.

It's good that we got two solid bigs. I feel like the Celtics would eat us alive if they could play small and get Smart more minutes.

Here comes the Celtics tiny lineup.

We gotta keep pounding on Crowder with Towns.

We have to punish teams for going small against us.

We are taking it to a very solid team. The C’s play good basketball and are really well coached. We gotta consistently bring it like this.

Is Boston trying to run a system?

Celtics announcers very complimentary of Rubio, mention plus/minus.

Tank Commander Mitchell abandons his Platoon

Crowder is abusing Wiggins.

Smart just sent Tyus like 10 feet back with a slight nudge.

Celtics announcers dumping on Wiggins defense.

Tyus looks like Chucky the murder-y doll playing sports

Evan Turner sure would look good on our 2nd unit

KMart and Jones backcourt... Just put them in matching matador outfits already…

Crowder just spanking us last few possessions.

If the Hawks play the C's in the playoffs how will both teams expose their frawdliness?

More Smart threes please.

Boston gets back on defense as good if not better than anyone else I've seen. Coaching.

Crowder has turned into a pretty nice player.

I wanted to draft him... He's just killing Drew. Badly outplaying him.

Its one thing to for him to outmuscle Drew, but he's out quicking and outhustling him too.

It took him a bit but he's the real deal.

Celtics color guy is really good. Keeps talking about Wolves lack of floor balance igniting Celtics into early offense.

Scalabrine? Like him a lot

His last appearance on the Dan Patrick show was fantastic. He will be a head coach in the NBA some day.

I'm sort of confused how this lineup is not playing like an unmitigated disaster.

KG told the kids they would go for ice cream if they beat Boston.

Is a Payne fade away turn around hook shot the worst shot possible?

depends on how many teammates he's knocked down first

Isaiah Thomas still salty about being less skilled than Towns

Kevin Martin the most worthless player in the NBA?

Nah. It's either Philly wings or Boston bigs from the way Boston talks about them.

I love this Boston defense. They are scrappy as hell.

I think Zach got a "dunk champion" call...

No doubt. We got lucky there.

We've gotten insanely lucky on some of these possessions.

The Wolves refuse to win by more than 10, Wiggins is just giving the ball to the Celts

Celtics are jackals on defense. They are always trying to attack the ball and get steals.

Bye wiggins. Hope you get traded

Wiggins needs a drug test

CEltics have a lot of mentally tough guys. They wont back down easily. You can see the confidence on the floor.

Jerbenko is their center Towns struggling with the immediate double team though

Celts feel like they are a good scorer away from being a dangerous team.

They are gritty as hell. Very smart players who compliment eachother well. Havoc in the passing lanes.

If you could put Smart's intensity in Wiggin's body . . .

Wiggins just bowls Smart over Idk about that call

Boston went from my least favorite broadcast team To above JPete. That was a quick turnaround.

Smart lost the game for the Celts

If he passes to Isiah it’s game over. Thanks Smart, you deserve it for that flop.

Smart should be assessed a nice flopping fine after tonight's acting performance.

124 points against Boston Is hell of a effort

that was by far the worst i've felt winning a game this entire season

Wow we had a huge free throw advantage tonight. 30-40 to the Celtics 14-17

Bae Crowder is pretty good

Celtics have a coach

If we had a coach like Stevens we would have 10 more wins by now, easily. No doubt about that

That was an absolute clinic on how to give a game away. We got really lucky Smart didn't pass to Thomas.
