Derrick White’s tooth

My 2025-26 Celtics predictions: Jaylen Brown All-NBA Derrick White all star Queta explosion Hugo Gonzales all-rookie team Josh Minott will be good Luka Garza is gonna suprise a lot of people 44+ wins 🍀LFG🍀

@steeder10 I mean Derrick white is this but he’s just been ass right now

‘Celtic ball’ has returned- walking the ball up the floor, no ball reversals, very few paint touches, middy % way up, extended scoring droughts. Jrue was CRITICAL to the Celtics - one of the best connectors in the NBA history. Why did Portland flip the script this season? Why did both the Bucks and Celtics finally climb the mountain? Elite composure and leadership, ball finds the right people, can be a scorer when needed and consistent winning plays on the defensive end. Every elite team has CONNECTORS: Iguodala, Jrue, Caruso, Dort, KCP, Aaron Gordon, Shane Battier, etc. Celtics are missing that piece badly right now.

@tylermilliken_ @ChrisCotillo @Sean_McAdam This is why I don’t understand how you can fully blame the coaching staff for development and performance. Breslow’s analytics are driving the development of hitters and setting the approach at the plate. The offensive underperformance is on the FO, not the coaching staff

Also, it looks like the Driveline topic is only going to get louder and louder. Some great insight from @ChrisCotillo and @Sean_McAdam about how the debate has only “intensified” from both sides since the firings.

@anthonyVslater Changes? You just fired your championship head coach. This is what happens

Nikola Jokic: “We just lost in the first round. I think we are far away.” Changes needed? “That’s not my decision. Definitely, if we were in Serbia, we would all be fired.”

@NickCRadio Jordan Walsh should be the option for Derrick White if he’s giving you nothing offensively. Has shown he can give Maxey problems

My final C's post of the night, b/c I'm about to go on an ultimate rage if I don't step away, LOL. Game 7 suggestions: - Walsh starts over Hauser. Let him challenge Maxey. - If White starts slow, QUICK pull to Pritchard - Hauser gets the first shot off the bench. He sucks, he sits. - IF healthy, Tatum should play small ball '5' when Embiid sits. - Brown should be taken off the ball. It's bad right now. - Put Vucevic in the paint for 4-5 touches - Hit the damn paint and CREATE threes - Play Edgecombe and Maxey with PHYSICALITY That's it for now. This series being tied is embarrassing and it'd be an outright abomination if the C's lose it.

@NoaDalzell He’s trying to be mature and ignore the rest of the series. Get pissed off. Get emotional. This isn’t just wipe it away and get ready for another one. They’ve embarrassed u 2 in a row and you got one more chance to shut them up. Feel that, and bring it

Jaylen Brown is not as down at the podium as I expected: “Game 7 is a game amongst itself, in a sense — the rest of the series, doesn't matter. It’s gonna be who's gonna show up on that day and be a better performing team.” “There’s definitely some stuff I see that I can improve.”

@SteveBHoop Where’s the energy Steve? I just don’t understand how Philly is totally annihilating their ball movement and spacing on offense

Said all year when asked about Celtics: They've proven they're regular-season good. Question is whether they'll be playoff good when opponent can truly lock in & prepare for them. Still can be, but have to play harder on defense and stay the passing/cutting course on offense.

@_Adubis_ Not scared of the moment, just stupid in the moment. He tries to do too much, and it’s ugly

I’ve given Brown so much fucking grace but I can’t do this anymore. How are you a FMVP still fucking scared of the moment

@semaJ7272 Yeah don’t think that’s a Joe call that’s a Jaylen Brown call

What a great gameplan by Joe let Jaylen Brown dribble the air out of the ball every possession while everyone else stands in the corners

@NoaDalzell What also should be on your mind this that they’re whooping you and you have to be MORE than ready on Saturday

Asked Payton Pritchard about flipping the switch and fighting the reality that Philly now has momentum after trailing 3-1: “It means nothing. It’s one game. It's like the NCAA Tournament — gotta win one or go home. So, it's only thing on our mind.”

@ksenguptaa I mean he’s 36-20 in the playoffs and 7-2 in series

The Joe shit is weird. The regular season resume is legit the best of all time, the playoff resume is becoming really smelly. Like really smelly

@BrianMarsters Just to be clear, trading JB regardless is a bad idea

Also just have to say if you’re hoping the Celtics lose Saturday so they trade JB, please just go follow another team. If that’s the best move to make, they’ll make it no matter when they exit. Boston fans don’t root for their own teams to lose in the playoffs. Grow up.

@PritchBurner Yeah give me some defense honestly

Hassan Whiteside would be more useful on this team than Vucevic

@CelticsForum0 I mean they’re the most successful team of the decade, and only wouldn’t be if OKC wins this year. What are the alternatives? I just don’t like blowing it up for the sake of blowing it up. With the way the league is now guys primes are extended until like 32. They have time

It just feels like it's time to blow it up (the Tatum / Brown duo). Remember outside of the superteam which had a historically easy playoff road - they've always lost together. And now it feels like complete fatigue. Brown just isn't good enough

I don’t understand the fire Joe Mazzulla narrative? Fire him and hire who? He literally might win COTY. It’d be absurd to fire him. He literally has the highest winning percentage of any NBA coach all-time. 7th highest in the playoffs. Would be ABSURD to fire him #celtics

@NoaDalzell Do it earlier!!!

Joe Mazzulla on the decision to play these 5 with 10 minutes to play: “Wanted to give the game a different feel. I mean, all year we've had 14-15 guys be able to impact winning. Just wanted to give the game a different look.”

@celticsbuddy Doesn’t help that Jaylen Brown’s only offensive game has turned into pushing off

It’s clear that Nick Nurse has told his team to flop every single time the Celtics drive. What a clown

@CelticsForum0 Giannis literally couldn’t even get the Bucks to the PLAY-IN. Why should we want him here? He’s a loser

To all the people saying trade Jaylen for Giannis please stop. If you think our playoff offense looks bad now you don't wanna know what it'd look like with Giannis's defender playing 12ft off in the paint clogging up space for everyone else. Learn basketball for the love of God

@lockedupjb How do I dislike a tweet

B2B years of Mazzulla getting straight up out coached by the other teams coach His job should be in jeopardy

@Alexzachary305 Can anyone remember a time when a blowup and quick turnaround worked in the NBA? Cause I can’t. Phoenix, Brooklyn, Philly with Harden, Clippers… it doesn’t work. Grass always looks greener, doesn’t mean it actually is

Big summer for Brad

@CelticsDale Why are people saying worse since 2022 I’ve seen it a couple times. That year was the most gritty finals run I’ve ever seen

To perform the way you did in Game 5 and come out like this in Game 6 says a lot to me. This is collective fuck up larger than I can ever remember. Worse than 2022. Worse than 2023. Worse than 2025. I can’t believe what’s happening.
