Celtics Devastating

[budwiser]

Regular season is almost preseason in the nba

7 game series every series does it really matter to bust you oss in the regular season to get positioning

Certainly matters in the nfl

Bulls are a team to keep an eye on -not as a team to contend but a team to blow it up! I think Vucevic is a guy that could put a team over the top. His size & skills would take a lot of pressure off Bam in Miami. Warriors & Lakers also need a centre.

I don't like the other two... DeRozan can't shoot and LaVine is horrible -players that do well on shit teams.

Warriors appear the team most likely to make a trade, in spite of being champs. They have drafted poorly in recent years. Kuminga is useless, Wiseman is a mummy's boy. Their window is short.

Solid post.

NBA bizarre trade window starts today/Thursday with limited players. Along with injuries, these trades obviously might make or break teams for the title. Seems to me there's gonna be a ton of trades as teams jockey for draft picks and title shots

Wiseman 21 years old bizarre when I first saw him he looked great and he's in the G-league? Of course he got hurt. But yeah too young for a veteran team looking for a title, unless he's a bench player with attitude

heard curry got injured/shoulder, will get mri

I remember reading a quote from him a year or so ago about the aftermath of his injury... he was talking about how he cried uncontrollably as his mother carried him up the stairs to his apartment. You don't want your big guys to have this type of personality; you want them to be pitbulls like Anteto' or Sabonis. You can glean a tonne about a player's long term outlook from the stuff they say sometimes

Read up on Wiseman 2 surgeries to me that's a non-issue. I had to get that done/meniscus tear, the first doc didn't do the job, guessing he was conservative. Cause on the court I'd get the same "catch". I had to get a 2nd doc which sucked, that must have been 20+ years ago, never had to get surgery on that knee again. He's good minimum 5+ years read people react differently. After about 20 years I had to start putting insoles on my shoes cause all the meniscus does is cushion and it was taken out, but putting insoles in not a big deal.

Too much info but that's my experience. Important if you're trading for the guy. Guy should b good to go imo. I wish it never happened to me, but I know this shyte.

[budwiser]

Hoping the Celtics stay with their roster during the trade season. Why should they upgrade. They are a devastating team, Brown and Tatum should be favorites I'm scared of them just writing about it. lol

Looking forward to seeing how Ben Simmons guards one of these 2 jerks when the Nets play the Celtics. Never did try it as a net. Gotta wait until Jan 12.

Somebody in Louisiana put $9k at caesars at celtics -900 to beat the magic in Boston

Lost

What's with the celtics love. Still+150 to win the eastern conference

Celtics don't have a center. Horford is not a center and 36. They don't have a true point guard either.

But, carry on celtics lovers what do i know lol

Post your magic ml ticket or go to bed.

I'm getting tired of your obsession with Boston. You aren't winning anything on it.

[budwiser]

I have nets title and eastern conference tix posted a month + ago after the coaching change. Clear as day.

[IBetYou]

$9K on a basketball game is hardly news worthy... doesn't matter the odds

[budwiser]

Yeah agree tho i got it on my twitter feed @caesarssports.

Maybe you both can contact caesars lol

[IBetYou]

Even a $100K... there's super-high rollers that bet that much per game aren't there? You'd need to be near a casino I guess.

[lakerboy]

We need the ticket..

Screenshot not you saying you bet it.

[IBetYou]

Yeah agree tho i got it on my twitter feed @caesarssports.

I find it funny the naive shit that comes out of the mouths of nba media on tv about sports betting, what with it being so "new" over there. Whether Chuck & Kenny doing their useless bit at the beginning of TNT games or commentators talking during the game. At the Cavs game the other day the guy goes "lots of fans in the building tonight, Friday night, I'm thinking overs" LOL, bookies dream.

[budwiser]

I didn't bet it

I had golden state v celtics last Saturday

And i got nets title and conference

Again plain as day. I didn't start a thread named celtics devastating responding to that

He's hardly going to lie about it ffs

Yeah media is generally fade material. Guys who played the game

As i said before generally the dumber you are the better you are at sports

[IBetYou]

Celtics' issues only helps Nets so much though. Bucks are top dog in the East. They get Ingles back next game. Stronger still.

[IBetYou]

I can see Ingles becoming an integral part of that Bucks team. Holiday will never have to play SF while Middleton & Ingles are healthy.

[budwiser]

Yeah i don't have a noteworthy read yet on this year's bux team agree they are good +ingles

My guess is we know what to expect from the bux legit contenders

[budwiser]

The context behind this is i got these nets tix over a month ago

The odds for the nets have not changed despite having the best record for the month in the nba

Where did it go? To the celtics

So i love to see these idiots lose

[budwiser]

On pinnacle it is still green +150 nets +700 eastern c

Scru them

[budwiser]

Celtics have lost 4 of 5 and they are still +152 odds at pinnacle to win the eastern conference

One or a combination of 4 things has to be true
1. Books slow to react
2. Books don't care much about the regular season
3. Books have made up their minds
4. They have a ton of $ on the celtics

Unreal

[Bostongambler]

No Tatum tonight

[budwiser]

Ok, one game.

Every team goes through issues, right? Well....Mazzulla is 34, never played in the NBA, never was a head coach at the pro level, a head coach at division 2 schools, assistant coach in the G league. Assistant coach picked up by Stevens, got the job after Stevens left and Udoka fired, players lobbied for him.

Horford is older than Mazzulla.

Do I have that right? If so, does this guy inspire confidence to win an NBA title against some of the most selected and experienced coaches in the world? A guy who never has experience playing in the NBA? Maybe...also could be a disaster in the making. I know all about head coach failures when they gave Steve Nash the job without head coaching experience (obviously he had NBA experience). And unrelated but look at Jeff Saturday with the Colts in the NFL the other day, blew the biggest lead in NFL history.
Having no experience is not a disqualifier, but is a concern imo. You are rolling the dice.

[budwiser]

they found Mazzulla's scouting reports on Quizlet lol since deleted

"Kuzma is not passing" lol

[budwiser]

the mazzulla scouting reports

[budwiser]

Gregory Maneikis: I’m at a 3 out of 10. It’s hard to sustain elite success over an entire 82-game season, and there aren’t quite as many cupcakes on the schedule as previous years. I know some might differ, but the Magic, when healthy are a real NBA team with some dogs. Losing back-to-back is inexcusable, but it shows the importance of execution, boxing out, etc. if you want to win the average NBA basketball game.

To me, their biggest issue is just that. Things were so easy early in the season, they didn’t need to worry about all of the little things. Now the book is out on how to slow down the offense, so the C’s will need to recommit to playing mistake-free basketball because when the offense isn’t there, the real game begins.

[budwiser]

Mike Dynon: Level 5. I’d like to believe the offensive slump is just the flip side of the way-above-average first 20-25 games. That would be normal. But the problem is, when the shots stop falling, the Celtics tend to revert to bad habits. The ball movement disappears, hero ball creeps in, and as we saw in Sunday’s game, they still have difficulty executing winning plays in the final minute of a close contest.
Joe Mazzulla is facing adversity for the first time as a head coach. How will he respond? What will it take to get back on track? They need to restore some confidence before the Christmas showdown with Milwaukee, or the panic level will rise for sure.

[budwiser]

William Weir: It’s a 3 for me. Gotta tighten things up for sure but a lot of it comes down to a poor shooting stretch. They are 29th & 30th respectively shooting the 3 and from the field the last 5 games, but 4th and 6th in the NBA on the season for those categories. A lot of the role players are going through shooting funks at the same time, but water will find its level. They are still getting good looks, just not good results. Rob is back. Defense is improving They’ll be fine.

[budwiser]

i wonder what that book is to slow down the celtics offense???

[jjgold]

Celts starting to fade
Some think Tatum the weak spot
