The shooting percentages are a little worrisome. I get the championship hangover playing into that, but the numbers are def lower and we've had a pretty large sample size. Like you said, they're not gonna change how they play so let's hope those shooting percentages improve in the second half of the season.
It’s the same conclusion, two things are not mutually exclusive. Celtics are a good team but playing bad, but also because they’re playing bad they’re a bad team right now but not a bad team in the future. We’re missing shots now but that’s a small sample size of the season and it will level out. I feel fine, I’m on board with Joe. Bring on the challenges and bring on the adversity. This is another great opportunity to grow as a player and as an individual - to dig deeper again.
I’m convinced Jaylen is working through a hip injury. We know he’s dealt with minor stuff in the past and seeing the lack of lateral quickness and first step explosion and ability to get low etc.. it all tells me he’s ailing.
I love Tom as a guest. Lots of excuse making here though. I'd make the argument that last year was an example of Celtics upward variance, and what we are seeing here is more normal. They're good, but not the dominant team they were last year. Ennui is not a good look for professional athletes
The player that I'm really concerned about is Derrick White since the doldrums started in December. He's definitely not playing anywhere close to last year's performance. Whatever the reason/reasons, I hope that he can get back to that form. He's not the only one though as we know...Jaylen,Jrue,Al and Sam Hauser(with his injury issues) have also regressed from last year. Jayson has been OK and KP is still working on his conditioning. I agree that it is only January, but right now every game is a slog. Let's Go Celts!
As I watch the games .It seemed like Jrue used to take3-4 corner threes a game i wanna see him get back to that(make or miss). I wanna see Kristaps & D White take easier threes that all aren't 5ft behind the three point line. Make it a lil easier they're already wide open. Jaylen just needs to get his groove back and tighten up. Maybe lil less gambling on defense. I still see #19🍀
Chip hangover, 3point shooting from the specialist always big, they extend leads or they contribute to losing leads. Now the starters not up to par shooting either. JB,Jrue down, White up and down. JT taking more is even,Zingis up and down, but to me the specialist is the key. As far D. I think that's just being complacency and lazy, not connected. Now injurys has have mess with the rotations. Joe subbing is questionable to me also. Think he need to be more flexible with the Jay's, if one is cooking don't routine sub him out. Feel to flow of the game.
honestly, the celtics playing teams like the kings and pelicans and for me not to expect a win makes it more exciting. i was following closely last season, and at the start of this season I was kinda like "oh wow they look like every game is gonna be a blowout" so i didn't tune in to as many games. definitely looking forward to seeing the celtics play live in the rest of January
Not worried about the roster but a little bit about the team. That the took last years success - that they earned day in and out - for granted this year a little. They didn’t have adversity last year and seem to have expected to be on top this year and are having problems showing up even in visible games. Small worry and it could simply be drive 99% by shooting variance but it’s taken on a life of its own. That said the defense seems to mostly be back and that’s reassuring. ♥️ the podcast 🍀🏀 All said if Cs are healthy good luck beating them 4/7.
Usually judged by what is astectically pleasing more often than not from the standpoint of it's a make or miss league. Make em', beautiful basketball; miss em', it's a horrendous eye bleed inducing, would rather watch paint dry atrocity. Just been missing them as of late, sky ain't falling (cause we all a got some chicken little in us) ☘︎🔒
We shouldn’t be waiting to see good basketball, the players shouldn’t be playing ugly basketball anyways because you are supposed to build habits that you will be carried to the playoffs.
We think the players are tired send Joe, but definitely know that they are tired. With that being said, why are we not letting our younger guys get some More often. Like no, let’s see what we really had a cop. Peterson and queta If you put them on the floor question, whether or not it is after. I’m not saying yes babe. Where is the go? Crazy in the regular season but let’s get our bench. Get better. I don’t know. I’m just getting bored watching his games and annoyed at the same time. He played great I would just like to see what quetas Feeling is real minutes Dave after day. It’s gotta be hard when you only play once every few games. I don’t think Luke How much better than him to the point where he should get benched this often
Tom is the best guest
I wouldn’t call him a guest as much as a cohost with a great schedule.
I'm glad you two, JK and TW, are not worried... because I was shouting at my screen when the team barely eeked out a 1 pt win over the bottom Pels. 😜
@Robin-xt7yo I agree with John Karalis there is no need to worry with this team.
Cool calm and collective chip 19 loading
It's ok to be frustrated over a performance though
Worried? ❌
Frustrated? ✅
Thanks fellas ☘️🔒

Like you said last podcast, every year is its own story. I get frustrated with the live turnovers for sure. That can be fixed. Hey Tom!

Take yourself back to after the LA loss at home last year and the Cleveland 4th quarter collapse. That was later in the season and both bad losses.
And hawks losses

Definitely not worried. Just praying for good health. They can turn on the jets and defensive intensity levels a month before the playoffs start.
It’s upsetting because these “bad” teams keep having outlier shooting nights against us 😅

From these comments… I guess I’ll stop watching Celtics games until April.
It’ll be nice getting away from Scal’s doofus laughing and joking.

4/7.
Good to hear the levelheaded takes. Some of the discourse would make you feel that Brad just traded the entire roster for Ben Simmons.
🤣🤣

The team is not as good in the title defence but they can still get better..
☘️☘️👊
The mistakes are self inflicted
LAYUPS count 2…

Well wake me up when the playoffs come...!!!! They're boring to watch...!!! Even if they winn playing with this remedial play style.💯🤷🏽♂️🚮
