2022 - 2023 POST GAME DETROIT - AWAY

Sam Ka-Bam and The Corner Office!!



Shooting with size, indeed!!

Wow, that assist to turnover rate of 34:4 BobH mentioned for Smart is stupendous!

Just think, when Robert Williams comes back, the starting lineup will finally have a rebounding center who is dynamic, Jason and Jaylen, Marcus and Al. Our bench is strengthened even more with Williams return, our second unit of Brogden, White, Hauser, Williams and Kornet/Noah? And when Joe mixes it up, and has one of the starters. Stay in and work with the bench , we are talking about a formidable team, high scoring, and hopefully defensively strong again. What fun it is going to watch this team when it is whole. Having Griffin on the bench is another strong suit. Let’s hope they take their time with Williams, I would love a strong return, but I want him healthy when he comes back and would love for him to stay that way. It is amazing what he means to this team

Celts offense is blowing teams off the court.
Once their defense catches up they will be #1 in the NBA.

I see another championship run this season.

The offense is really starting to jell, J’s getting a lot of easy baskets, getting the calls to finally to go to the FT line and constantly sharing and moving the ball. Smart with 3 games in a row with over 10 assists. Great guard depth with Brogden and White, both can play both ends and either guard position. Al using load management and looking fresh whenever he plays.

Forgot to mention Hauser, adding more offensive firepower, getting easy looks off the offense and ball movement. Ofcourse you still have to be able to hit the shots and he has and is finding more ways to get open and score.

I'm about to make a rash statement here but i think I'm justified at least with what I've seen so far for the first 11 games.

I'm having flashbacks to the Celtics of the 80's!! With Marcus Smart passing and assisting like Larry Legend, I think Marcus may be getting into an incredible groove that we all will love for quite some time. He still has some bricklaying 3's flashback moments, but if I know he can assist out the wazoo and play lockdown defense.. FANTASIC!! If he can assist out the wazoo AND hit threes AND score AND play lockdown defense, DOUBLY, TRIPLY and QUADRUPILY FANTASTIC!!!

This guy is the truest Celtic, literally dyed in Green. He morphs into whatever or whoever is needed. You really can't ask for any more than that from any of the Celtic greats that have come before him.

Plus Marcus has these amazing one-on-one relationships on the court with his teammates. And the funny thing is, his best relationship with RWIII still hasn't been unveiled for this season! It's usually a raised eyebrow or a slight lifting of Marcus' head and that player knows what Marcus is thinking and he moves to where Marcus will spoon feed him for an easy dunk or backdoor or lay-up or wide-open practice 3. This already is and is going to be fun to watch going forward.

Doogie is becoming a REAL PROBLEM for opponents. Clearly he's not on any scouting reports. Home Boy can accurately shoot 3's ala the hired assassins Ray Allen and Eddie House. Let's give him a couple more games but I think that torch is ready to be passed and he's in the same conversation with those two with no argument against.

Then just another day at the office for the 2 J's! Both over 30 points! WTH, Bo??!!

Let's hope Malcolm is OK. It didn't sound too bad.

RWIII needs to get back so GW can come off the bench where he is more effective and consistent.

Pritchard doesn't look good. No PT leads to crappy shooting leads to no PT, etc. I really hate that for him. Lost is a good word to describe him currently.

On to tonight and Denver...
