Another thing I loved about last night's game before garbage time was how smooth everything was for the most part. Felt like the Celtics had no choatic/disjointed possessions and no grenade passes. They just we're constantly making the right play or making the easy pass versus trying to force it
Tatum said post game that while they run some schemes in practice that they spend most of the time practicing how to read the flow of the game how to play off of each other and you can tell that it isn't some hyper schemed up plays it's just elite players reading each other well and using high level basketball IQ
everyone doesnt have to shoot, depends on what offense you run. This is a common misconception. Also think about how unlikely it is to have a 5 where everyone can shoot well enough to dictate staying home. You cant just find this. Celtics are the only team ever in history to be like this.

I don’t see how any team is going to be able to guard the Celtics. You have to have elite POA defenders at every position. No other team than the Celtics have that.

The Celtics being healthy (minus KP right now) is the main difference between them now and the way they were the previous 5 years. Tatum and Brown have dealt with so many important players being injured through the playoffs that it's wild they make it as far as they do every year. Kyrie, Hayward, Kemba, Rob Williams, Brogdon, and some others have missed up to entire playoff runs while Tatum and Brown continued to chug along and get so close to a championship every year. The Celtics having like 40-50% of their salary cap injured during the playoffs was a plague for like 6 straight years. They finally got relatively healthy and smoked the league.
People always forget… Brown missed a whole playoff run, Smart was hurt in 2022 too… I cry no tears for our opponents last year… just gotta hope the BBall injury Gods are on our side.
I have to disagree. The only two guys you cited that were actually recent were Rob and Brogdon. And even though those injuries hurt them, I mainly think the team is better now. Tatum, Brown, and White have only gotten better the last couple years. And Porzingis/Holiday are better players and better fit than Rob/Smart. The former are better complimentary two way players than the latter.

I dont understand what people saw when they claimed that the knicks can matchup with this Celtics team. The strength of the Celtics is not just spamming 3 point shooting. They don't have any weaknesses in their starting lineup. The knicks tried to build a diet version with their own form of 5 out but now have 2 defensive liabilities in their starting lineup. I don't think they're as bad offensively as last night but the knicks defense is a glaring problem going into this season and they have limited assets to address this problem

KAT got a taste of what Luka got in the finals. They just pick the weakest link in opposing team's defense and when someone tries to help, they just move the ball to get the best shot. Sounds simple, but everyone is always moving and everyone is willing to make an extra pass + most of the times there are all five shooters on the court, so you just have to pick your poison
You know what they say……Teamwork makes the dream work. When you have a team this good offensively, defensively, and not selfish, it’s hard to beat them. And being this good without KP says even more about this team. I know they’ve only played 2 games and the Knicks still have to find their rhythm and build chemistry, but think back to the beginning of last season. Celtics had 2 new players and had to find their rhythm and build chemistry but they did very well right off the rip.
I said from the moment the news broke, the Knicks lost the trade, big time. Towns is not a superstar, he is not a winner. He will make the Knicks much, much worse in the one area they desperately need to be good at, defence. When you then compare what the Knicks gave up offensively, I'm taking Randle and Devincenzo every day of the week so adding in to that deal the draft pick as well, it's a totally lop-sided trade. 95% of people, certainly in the media disagree with me, but that's how I see it. Lastly, Towns will play pretty good offence during the regular season and then struggle in the playoffs when teams can run schemes to stop him in a series. He'll just be racking up fouls and creating nightmares on defence. I wish them luck, they're going to need it.
I said from jump this trade AT BEST made us marginally better on offense and only worked if we would’ve kept iHart We lost him AND Devo, no defense and not enough offense to outscore teams That said, few teams have Bostons talent so we’ll still make the playoffs
As Celtics fan I at least respect what the Knicks are doing as opposed to Philly who I have no respect for whatsoever. Absolute clown show losing culture Embiid saying he’s not gonna play every game is a disgrace. The Celtics didn’t become what they are overnight Knicks need to get into some playoff battles with the Bucks or Pacers to forge an identity and build off of it going forward. Making the ECF is an attainable goal. And who knows maybe the Celtics have some injuries or something crazy or unforeseen happens you never know. Celtics vulnerability will be the age of Horford and the fragility of Porzingis maybe something comes of that that NYK can capitalize on. I doubt it and I think the Celtics have some lowkey very serviceable bigs but like I said you never know who’s gonna get hurt
They already averaged a 10+ margin of victory last season in route to a championship and now have the added bonus of extreme continuity to be even more in sync with each other.
This is tough for the Knicks. Other teams will hunt KAT because his perimeter defense issues are not exactly a state secret. Normally, the best way to counter this is play KAT in drop coverage. However, this isn't really feasible because Brunson is also very beatable on the perimeter. In my opinion, there's really two options: 1. Play KAT in drop and place Brunson on a corner defender. This is doable because I think OG and Bridges can do a passably good job defending opposing guards. This requires the Knicks to switch immediately on defense to put Brunson on a corner shooter. It will become very complicated as teams run a double-screen or other maneuver to pull the corner shooter up and make the Knicks switch Brunson onto a shot creator. It also requires that the corner shooter to not be a cutting threat (ie, has to be a catch-and-shoot specialist). 2. Play zone. Playing a zone would let the Knicks deploy Brunson in the corner without as much concern for switching. It would let OG and Bridges play at the top spots in the zone, taking the majority of the defensive work on the perimeter. KAT would play in the middle, maximizing his ability and simplifying things. The downside is that most good teams (ie, playoff level opponents) will simply find gaps in the zone to shoot from. Tough question. I personally think going to more zone defense is probably their best option, but I don't think it changes the outcome against Boston. The differential might be smaller, but I still see Boston winning convincingly. It's also tough because Bridges is one of their best defenders, but he somehow broke his jumper, which makes it harder to play him when they need offense. It also isn't helped by the fact that, even in drop coverage, KAT isn't a particularly imposing defender. It's not like Gobert who is bad on the perimeter but good in drop. KAT is bad on the perimeter and somewhat less bad to average in drop.
@@penkima4923 If your truly think that then you are beyond a casual lol. We saw what poor coaching does with an all star team. Bucks, superteam nets, Lakers, suns etc.
a subtle thing, but i think tatum adjusted his shooting form. he used to tuck his elbow in too much, to the point where it was pointing across his body. seems he's pointing it more forward, towards the rim now, and his release looks a lot cleaner because of it. i think he'll have one of the best 3pt shooting years of his career this year.
It might not be the funnest team to play with on 2k. Then, but they should be rated ninety nine across the board for offense, defense and f***** special teams
3:14. At that point, I would just attempt to steal aggressively likely getting called by the ref making them earn free throws under the two minute mark. Make Jason Tatum earn it with those two free throws. That is the statistically, physically, and psychologically most effective decision. The role players can now shoot with the three. They will most likely be East Conference champions at this point with how poorly the east is playing the last 3+ seasons.
So KAT defense led to 9 made 3s, but they made 29! That's probably why the direct highlights of KAT's bad perimeter defense jump from the 1st play of the game, 0-0, to the 3rd qtr down 26 pts. Then the non KAT highlights jump back to the 1st qtr when Sims was getting cooked. It seems very disingenuous to make start this vid like that just so you can say I called it, KAT hurt them defensively". How did they hit the most 3s in a half to start the game? Was Tatum not completely destroying Bridges 1v1 for 3 qtrs, how is that not highlighted in this video? KAT can be VERY bad defensively, committing a number of terrible fouls, playing drop coverage on knockdown shooters, but game 1 wasn't the case. Celtics started their run after he went to the bench in the 1st qtr, he contested a number of those 3s in highlights, and his perimeter teammates gambled off their man on their own volition. Wait until he actually screws up before putting the blame all on him.
It was bizarre anyone thought they were overrated last year. But it's hard to believe they won't win again, all being well for them. Honestly who is supposed to beat them? A well constructed Nuggets team doesn't exist anymore... Dallas are good but not enough. Wolves are again, not enough.
Nuggets lost their edge when they dismantled their championship team. They only have Jokic now because even Murray is starting to look slow and injured
Old shaq (Miami, Phoenix, Cleveland, Boston), yes, but Orlando and early Lakers shaq was a freak athlete he would still unbelievably effective now like he was back then.
prime Shaq would eat on Boston but Boston as a team would still win the game lol just let shaq eat in the paint all game but counter it with a lot of threes
2000s shaq will also foul out all of your players on the floor while getting 40 pts and 20 rebs, so there's that. He will still eat, but Boston might still win just out of pure 3 point mathematics
Celtics are indeed a problem. I will say though the Knicks defense was genuinely bad this game so I wanna see a better defensive effort from another team to see just how good they are
Gotta go straight up man, homie. Switch all screens possibly. Where are our defensive coordinators in the league? Not all their fault. Problem is you can't touch nobody anymore too. They need to lock down those moving screens too. Adam Silver don't care though. He just wants social media numbers. I think they need to look at the way they play in FIBA. The way it's reffed in FIBA.
Exactly why Tatum is their most important player. He's the one they go to when teams play them like that. Almost always takes advantage of the mismatch. KP too but the guy is always injured
@@benn746 How many teams have enough plus defenders to have 1-5 able to fight through screens though? MAYBE OKC? The Heat MAYBE? Your average big is dropping back on a screen, and both Holiday and White are tough and big enough to make fighting through their screens much easier said than done for most guards
Wow. One game in and Coach Nick is telling us KAT is a disaster trade, and the Celtics are gonna win 74 games. And after watching this, I can't disagree. KAT looks exactly like the kind of player that Thibs will bench, full stop. I hope I'm wrong. This Knicks braintrust has made a lot of smart moves, after decades of incompetence. But, holy shit. KAT looks like he has no idea how to play defense. Is this fixable? If Thibs can't do it, nobody can.
Seeing as the Wolves didn't want him is telling you something... A defensive heavy team should be able to hide him. But presumably he wasn't worth keeping?
It's hard to pick anyone else, but be damned if NBA media and basically anyone else but Celtics fans are going to try their hardest for the entire season 🤡
They just destroyed the projected number 2 team in the East. Craziest thing is they are still missing Kristaps Porzingis.

They look a level above everyone else at the moment. 65+ winning game regular season?
I don't really care about regular season.better be prepared for the playoffs
I said from the moment the news broke, the Knicks lost the trade, big time. Towns is not a superstar, he is not a winner. He will make the Knicks much, much worse in the one area they desperately need to be good at, defence. When you then compare what the Knicks gave up offensively, I'm taking Randle and Devincenzo every day of the week so adding in to that deal the draft pick as well, it's a totally lop-sided trade. 95% of people, certainly in the media disagree with me, but that's how I see it. Lastly, Towns will play pretty good offence during the regular season and then struggle in the playoffs when teams can run schemes to stop him in a series. He'll just be racking up fouls and creating nightmares on defence. I wish them luck, they're going to need it.
💯
Towns played good defense last season, but not at center.
This music is a classic. It and coach Nick are inseparable lol
do you know the name of the music?
I said from jump this trade AT BEST made us marginally better on offense and only worked if we would’ve kept iHart
We lost him AND Devo, no defense and not enough offense to outscore teams
That said, few teams have Bostons talent so we’ll still make the playoffs
As Celtics fan I at least respect what the Knicks are doing as opposed to Philly who I have no respect for whatsoever. Absolute clown show losing culture Embiid saying he’s not gonna play every game is a disgrace. The Celtics didn’t become what they are overnight Knicks need to get into some playoff battles with the Bucks or Pacers to forge an identity and build off of it going forward. Making the ECF is an attainable goal. And who knows maybe the Celtics have some injuries or something crazy or unforeseen happens you never know. Celtics vulnerability will be the age of Horford and the fragility of Porzingis maybe something comes of that that NYK can capitalize on. I doubt it and I think the Celtics have some lowkey very serviceable bigs but like I said you never know who’s gonna get hurt
Saw a TikTok of not only Tatum amazing shot making but the beautiful passes and playmaking. If you haven’t seen them, do urself the favor
Tatum destroys Durant every year and they still say he isn't as good.
Yo chill its just one game into the season 😂. But fr no one will be able to keep up with them…
They already averaged a 10+ margin of victory last season in route to a championship and now have the added bonus of extreme continuity to be even more in sync with each other.
Lmao one game into the season? Did you miss what happened 4 months ago bud? Been doing it for a whiiiiiiile now
They saying if wolves won last season Boston have no chance look at how they abused kat 😂
You lost me at the DraftKings commercial, bro.
I don’t watch these clips for sales pitches for sports betting. Count me out.

Just skip it bozo. These videos are his livelihood.
Steph & wiggs is waving😂😂😂😂
Everyone still looked hungry out there and everyone looked confident in their game.
Why do you analyze it so well? Keep it up!

This is tough for the Knicks. Other teams will hunt KAT because his perimeter defense issues are not exactly a state secret. Normally, the best way to counter this is play KAT in drop coverage. However, this isn't really feasible because Brunson is also very beatable on the perimeter. In my opinion, there's really two options:
1. Play KAT in drop and place Brunson on a corner defender. This is doable because I think OG and Bridges can do a passably good job defending opposing guards. This requires the Knicks to switch immediately on defense to put Brunson on a corner shooter. It will become very complicated as teams run a double-screen or other maneuver to pull the corner shooter up and make the Knicks switch Brunson onto a shot creator. It also requires that the corner shooter to not be a cutting threat (ie, has to be a catch-and-shoot specialist).
2. Play zone. Playing a zone would let the Knicks deploy Brunson in the corner without as much concern for switching. It would let OG and Bridges play at the top spots in the zone, taking the majority of the defensive work on the perimeter. KAT would play in the middle, maximizing his ability and simplifying things. The downside is that most good teams (ie, playoff level opponents) will simply find gaps in the zone to shoot from.
Tough question. I personally think going to more zone defense is probably their best option, but I don't think it changes the outcome against Boston. The differential might be smaller, but I still see Boston winning convincingly. It's also tough because Bridges is one of their best defenders, but he somehow broke his jumper, which makes it harder to play him when they need offense. It also isn't helped by the fact that, even in drop coverage, KAT isn't a particularly imposing defender. It's not like Gobert who is bad on the perimeter but good in drop. KAT is bad on the perimeter and somewhat less bad to average in drop.
The C's look dominant. Wow,
And they say Joe Mazzulla can't coach 😂😂
He didn't have nothing to do with the Celtics winning the chip.
@@penkima4923 but when they lose a game it's his fault because his offense is 3 point shot heavy and he can't coach? 🤣🤣🤣
@@RCandFishing Not sure which genius media is saying that, but the fans don't care. Celtics fans or any other fans.
@@penkima4923 If your truly think that then you are beyond a casual lol. We saw what poor coaching does with an all star team. Bucks, superteam nets, Lakers, suns etc.
the fact that the Cs are not forced to score making them more HEALTHY than any team in the NBA right now.
"To the best fans in the world...let's do it again" - JT, Opening Night 2024
LoL. The worst fans in the community. And naturally the worst face for a franchise.
The Bald White Buffalo is the real key to this team
a subtle thing, but i think tatum adjusted his shooting form. he used to tuck his elbow in too much, to the point where it was pointing across his body. seems he's pointing it more forward, towards the rim now, and his release looks a lot cleaner because of it. i think he'll have one of the best 3pt shooting years of his career this year.
Did u see yesterday's video? I broke down Tatum's shot
@@bballbreakdown i did but you didn't really look at his new elbow position from the front; only his shooting form from the side.
It might not be the funnest team to play with on 2k. Then, but they should be rated ninety nine across the board for offense, defense and f***** special teams
The average basketball IQ on the Celtics is so great.
The Celtics know how to take advantage of the defensive 3 second rule.2010s Warriors did the same thing.
this could be a start of a dynasty
The Celtics are shooting arrows!
Yes the background sound is finally back
3:14. At that point, I would just attempt to steal aggressively likely getting called by the ref making them earn free throws under the two minute mark. Make Jason Tatum earn it with those two free throws. That is the statistically, physically, and psychologically most effective decision. The role players can now shoot with the three. They will most likely be East Conference champions at this point with how poorly the east is playing the last 3+ seasons.
Thank you STEVE KERR!!! Thank you GRANT HILL!!😂😂😂 keep doubting ❤
tatum, white, and brown have a solid 5 years in them and an elite GM and coach. UH OH
So KAT defense led to 9 made 3s, but they made 29! That's probably why the direct highlights of KAT's bad perimeter defense jump from the 1st play of the game, 0-0, to the 3rd qtr down 26 pts. Then the non KAT highlights jump back to the 1st qtr when Sims was getting cooked. It seems very disingenuous to make start this vid like that just so you can say I called it, KAT hurt them defensively".
How did they hit the most 3s in a half to start the game? Was Tatum not completely destroying Bridges 1v1 for 3 qtrs, how is that not highlighted in this video? KAT can be VERY bad defensively, committing a number of terrible fouls, playing drop coverage on knockdown shooters, but game 1 wasn't the case. Celtics started their run after he went to the bench in the 1st qtr, he contested a number of those 3s in highlights, and his perimeter teammates gambled off their man on their own volition. Wait until he actually screws up before putting the blame all on him.
Waiting for KD starting to look for a trade to boston
Celtics offered Brown, White, and a 1st to Brooklyn like 2 years ago for KD but the nets declined 😭. Imagine that what if.
Imagine coming off summer and rusty and making record tying 3s. That's how good they are
It was bizarre anyone thought they were overrated last year. But it's hard to believe they won't win again, all being well for them. Honestly who is supposed to beat them? A well constructed Nuggets team doesn't exist anymore... Dallas are good but not enough. Wolves are again, not enough.
Nuggets lost their edge when they dismantled their championship team. They only have Jokic now because even Murray is starting to look slow and injured
@@masstarvation yeah exactly. It's a shame because Jokic is the guy to build a successful team around.
OKC is the only team out west that concerns me as a Celtics fan.
Kerr mess up big time for benching Tatum
This is the music ! Epic!
Never gets old
do you know the name?
is this the death of the pure bigman? Shaq would get feasted on by these schemes in the modern era, you need agile bigs now that can also shoot
Old shaq (Miami, Phoenix, Cleveland, Boston), yes, but Orlando and early Lakers shaq was a freak athlete he would still unbelievably effective now like he was back then.
prime Shaq would eat on Boston but Boston as a team would still win the game lol just let shaq eat in the paint all game but counter it with a lot of threes
Been dead for a decade...at least
the pure bigman has been dead for years now
2000s shaq will also foul out all of your players on the floor while getting 40 pts and 20 rebs, so there's that. He will still eat, but Boston might still win just out of pure 3 point mathematics
Celtics are indeed a problem. I will say though the Knicks defense was genuinely bad this game so I wanna see a better defensive effort from another team to see just how good they are
What does sims even do? he can’t play defense, he can’t score…
Sounds like that McBride guy was all over the place
Can someone explain to me how every screen Hartford set wasn’t illegal. The guy is setting illegal screens doesn’t anyone see it
Fr They just never call it anymore gobert does it all the time
@@clmx6574 Look at Bam, he's making a living out of it.
the knicks made a mistake by not resigning hartenstein
Big mistake losing Donte and Hartenstein
Boston Celtics 2024 NBA WORLD CHAMPION 🏆
FMVP: Jaylen Brown
we really went from a top defensive anchor in ihart to kat and his doo doo defense it’s so over
Don't see the team better than Celtics, maybe Nuggets if Murray and MPJ can deliver.
Knicks should have just traded for Gobert. Hated the KAT trade from the start. Both teams would have been happy
Celtics is too much talent plus high IQ
you say that now...
They got stronger through NBA finals
Anyone would've lost by 25
It feels like you have to force the Celtics to play one on one, even if it’s a mismatch. Pass pass open 3 is the worst
Gotta go straight up man, homie. Switch all screens possibly.
Where are our defensive coordinators in the league? Not all their fault. Problem is you can't touch nobody anymore too. They need to lock down those moving screens too. Adam Silver don't care though. He just wants social media numbers.
I think they need to look at the way they play in FIBA. The way it's reffed in FIBA.
Exactly why Tatum is their most important player. He's the one they go to when teams play them like that. Almost always takes advantage of the mismatch. KP too but the guy is always injured
@@benn746 How many teams have enough plus defenders to have 1-5 able to fight through screens though? MAYBE OKC? The Heat MAYBE?
Your average big is dropping back on a screen, and both Holiday and White are tough and big enough to make fighting through their screens much easier said than done for most guards
Have fun watching Tatum against Towns or Brunson then.
Felt like Boston hit like 10 3s in a row at some point
JT is back
I hear you but it's 1 game.
It was a joke how open they were
Wow. One game in and Coach Nick is telling us KAT is a disaster trade, and the Celtics are gonna win 74 games. And after watching this, I can't disagree.
KAT looks exactly like the kind of player that Thibs will bench, full stop. I hope I'm wrong. This Knicks braintrust has made a lot of smart moves, after decades of incompetence.
But, holy shit. KAT looks like he has no idea how to play defense. Is this fixable? If Thibs can't do it, nobody can.
Seeing as the Wolves didn't want him is telling you something... A defensive heavy team should be able to hide him. But presumably he wasn't worth keeping?
Beautiful breakdown
Pretty hilarious though how many shots they missed at the end trying to get the record
None of those missed shots were any of the starters. Cope.
Put some respect on his name 😤
It's hard to pick anyone else, but be damned if NBA media and basically anyone else but Celtics fans are going to try their hardest for the entire season 🤡
Not hating on the Cs anymore huh
That sounds so absuld, LoL. Why on earth would you not hate the C's.
@@penkima4923 Because not everyone gets consumed by envy. Some are able to objectively appreciate good basketball.
Thanks
until they meet the new brand of GSW that have 3s, more agile and fast pace, and have 2nd and 3rd unit same quality as other average team's starter
I’m sure the Celtics are shaking in their boots at Draymond and TJD taking 3’s lol which they will dare them to do
Their gonna force the NBA to make some illegal offense rule with all these 3s their chucking (and making lol)
Haters will be pressed the entire season 🤣😂😂
Nope, they werent play their worst nightmare last season, gsw.. They need to prove more
And we will☘️
