A combined +37

@StoolGreenie Even you couldn’t seriously think Jaylen is better than Luka
English
FWIW, NBA tracking has Luka defending 95 total isolations, allowing 0.93 ppp and ranking in the 49th percentile in isolation defense
Amen: 0.86 ppp / 64th percentile
OG: 0.81 ppp / 72nd percentile
McDaniels: 0.85 ppp / 66th percentile
LakeShowYo@LakeShowYo
Luka is allowing just 0.84 points per possession in 109 isolations 🔒 That’s nearly identical to Amen Thompson… and better than Jaden McDaniels & OG Anunoby 👀 (via @KellyIko)

What teams are under the most pressure going into the Playoffs this year
English
Nearly every champion hit 52 wins and was a top 3 seed
Can you find 7 wins in this stretch?
A .500 finish to the season would do it for a team that has played .662 basketball this year
English
@StoolGreenie It’s his fourth game of the season you absolute muppet
English
Haywood Highsmith had 3 3PM on the season
He's 4-4 tonight
English
@StoolGreenie Hey Einstein, they also have 10 wins by 2 possessions or less. Or are you trying to hide that fact
English
UTA by 2
PHI by 2
MIN by 4
DEN by 4
SA by 5
IND by 2
DET by 1
CHI by 3
OKC by 2
That's 9 losses of 2 possessions or less on the season (39% of total losses)
English
@StoolGreenie Shot more free throws and your crying. Won’t acknowledge it though
English
Clear trip by Lu Dort on Jaylen. No call.
It's the lack of consistency that is infuriating
English
Jaylen/Pritchard are 8-21 (2-8) and the Celts lead by 5. Hilarious team
English
@StoolGreenie How on earth would it be the heaviest ring in NBA history? He’s coming back to a team that you yourself say is “borderline insane” without him
English
If this happens, it rivals Dirk's for the heaviest ring in NBA history imo
You have to imagine they'd be beating OKC to do it
CELTICS ☘️ BANNER 19@BiggLynch
@StoolGreenie @Xman2003_15 How legendary would that be after getting an Achilles injury and coming back and winning a title? That shit would be a movie.
English
@JoshEberley @StoolGreenie Literally this. Greenie’s exact problem
English
@StoolGreenie Fans can do whatever they want, man. Assuming malicious intent is a homerism thing
English
Imagine what Jaylen would look like playing next to Jokic lol. What is the goal here?

@StoolGreenie “6-2 against the Lakers”
You really are an absolute muppet.
English
- most regular season wins in the NBA
- most playoff wins in the NBA
- highest winning percentage of any coach in history
- 6-2 against the Lakers
- NBA Champion
- his system produced the greatest offensive performance in NBA history
He is the best basketball coach on planet earth and has been since Year 1
GreenRunsDeep@CelticsGRD
It’s still insane to me that there are Celtics fans out there that don’t think Joe Mazzulla is a good coach.
English
@StoolGreenie You literally have no idea what you’re talking about. Once again, try being unbiased for once. Just once
English
Yes, I shut off those who use these numbers incorrectly in order to push their own narrative which is not what the data is actually saying, that is correct
🧊@xtra0szn
@StoolGreenie I love how your a super analytical guy but then when it doesn’t fit your personal agenda you just completely shut it off
English
@StoolGreenie You call anything that isn’t over the top Celtics glaze a contrarian whether it be about JB or Mazzulla or anything. Try being objective just for once.
English
You got me. I am pushing a "it's actually pretty awesome and really rare that the Celtics are having this type of season based on how it started" narrative
And also, what is your point? You've dodged every time I've asked. If it were so common and no big deal that an 0-3 teams hit this record, why have only 5 teams done it?
I get it. You want to be a contrarian just to be a contrarian. If that's how you would prefer to view the season, you are free to do so
Johnny@AppleseedBurner
@StoolGreenie Deliberately missing the point once again to try and prove whatever biased narrative you are pushing. Nice 👍🏻

OK...stay with me here.
Explain to me why there aren't say 20 teams that started 0-3 that had this same turnaround?
Is it....because teams that start 0-3 are generally dogshit? Meaning, the fact that the Celts turned out to be this good is pretty unique?
Johnny@AppleseedBurner
@StoolGreenie Good teams go on 3 game losing streaks all the time. Just cuz it happened in games 1-3 rather than games 48-51 doesn’t make it borderline insane.

English
Yes? That is also a historic turnaround.
By comparison, I would say the Celts situation is even more impressive given the unproven and minimium salary players they did it with.
Johnny@AppleseedBurner
@StoolGreenie 2017-18 Sixers started 0-3 and won 52 games. Were they “borderline insane” for that?
English

English
Given the Celtics roster? Yes.
If it were so easy, why haven’t more teams done it? Plenty start 0-3. So why are there only 5 in the history of the NBA?
Johnny@AppleseedBurner
@StoolGreenie Do you really think it’s borderline insane that a team who lost the first 3 games of the season (4% of the season), turns their season around? This isn’t the NFL. There are 82 games.

What is so hard for you to understand about this lol
Teams that start 0-3 generally do not go 38-17. That is a fact.
When we were at that stage of the season, the idea of ripping off a 38-17 stretch was not the consensus. Starting 0-3 has everything to do with it. It's a main story of their season!
Why? Because usually, when a team is in that spot, they win in the 20s/30s....not 54+
Johnny@AppleseedBurner
@StoolGreenie Going 38-17 isn’t borderline insane. It’s a great stretch of basketball. Starting 0-3 has nothing to do with it.
