Brown is at his best taking high difficulty spin/fadeaway shots (oddly) so yes I’d say he is the guy I’d want shooting in a desperation mode where the shot needs to be forced anyway. But those situations are rarely forced by circumstances of the game and more often forced by Brown (or sometimes...
if they’re playing against teams like Milwaukee, Denver, etc with small margins to victory, giving the most inefficient player on the team the second most usage is the difference between winning and losing.
Not really…Brown isn’t that unique. These guys are all world NBA players who can drive...
Tatum went out with 6:55 in the first quarter.
Against the Heat zone, Brown missed two free throws, missed two terrible forced shots (one blocked) and had a turnover.
That was in a 3 minute stretch. Tatum subbed in for him at 3:45.
Brown didn’t return until 7:03 second quarter (that’s nearly...
Tatum and Brown are going to sink them. It was obvious today. I don’t care how many points they won by, they’re me-first players who force low pct shots when guys are WIDE open.
Brown is atrocious against a swarming zone which is why I think he was soft benched. As soon as he went out for an...
Yes, typical selfish ball. I think he got soft benched.
Are you only watching shot attempts? White was, as usual, their best player in both halves today. Dominant performance again.
Has to be said that race played a part in Embiid winning MVP last year. Also I think the voters felt he played well enough over the last few years that he shouldn’t come away with nothing. But Jokic was clearly the better player and deserved MVP and this should be 4 in a row.
That game was really fun to watch. I’m glad Mazulla left in the subs given the Celtics aren’t playing for any seeding.
Hauser, wow. It’s not like those were contested 3s. Just one of those days I guess. Seemed lime he would have been 1/1000 of he kept going.
Ultimately I think they’ll need to decide if Pritchard is good enough to replace Holiday, who is very expensive and getting old. Seems like Pritchard is a solid NBA point guard who is capable of starting on the right team.
This is what I mean by Hauser complementing the offense more than Brown when he plays with that type of spacing with the star players.
The Celtics are now 9-0 without Brown this season with an avg victory >20 ppg.
They’re a better team without him. Period. It may be counterintuitive but it’s...
White played 36 minutes tonight, most on the team. I’d like to think the Celtics management is picking up on all this. Given their use if analytics, my guess is that they get it. Derrick White is now tied for 6th (with Tatum) for highest RAPTOR score in the NBA, which is the most...
Here’s the true shooting percentage for every Celtics player this year in clutch situations (close game with 5 mins or less.). Next to that is usage. And there you have the problem. Going back three years, Tatum is shooting 37% in clutch while still having a spiked amount of shots and ball...
