This is still the Jays’ team. But the Jays are now Jayrdan Walsh and Jaysh Minott.
Don’t forget Jaygo* Gonzalez

THIS is the name. Take a victory lap!
Jaydon Walsh Jaygo Gonzalez
killer combo!!!
Absolutely is. That’s why we’re now Top Fye in the East.
And Jay Queta, let’s not forget
Beating the Wizards without JB by 40+ is wild. Are we that good or the Wizards that bad?
Both
The racial justice patch looking like a damn Market Basket nametag is absolutely sending me
Lmao I can’t unsee it
HELLO MY NAME IS
Brad Stevens
this just made me lmao for no reason 😂
They don’t play a lick of D
Lol why would they. Playing on a professionally perpetually losing team, they don’t want to risk injuries and trying stuff might happen
They ain’t gonna win by doing nothing.
Dont let their win over the Bucks fool you the Wizards are just that bad.
Yeah this is what a professional tanking team looks like
this is why the pro-tank crowd is wrong. we can’t outtank the best
We merely adopted the tank. They were born in it. Molded by it. By the time they saw the light they would be blinded by it.
Wizards are sttistically the worst team in the league by a lot. I think the expected value of a game between them and the Thunder is a 30pt loss.
Yes.
Team saw their point diffential drop to +4.1 & decided to choose violence
My dad just asked me that same thing
Yes
Same time tomorrow, everyone? 🫡
Great win without JB. Never too early to say Fuck the Lakers.
I’ve been saying it since ‘96
Been saying it since I was ice fishing in Minnesota
Walsh, Hugo, White
The Celtics big 3 we all expected
I know it’s true of any three last names, but Walsh González and White out here sounding like a local law firm
Need to get your money right?
Call the Defense attorneys of Walsh, Gonzalez and White.

Called it.
I mean every game is a Walsh Legacy game cmon now
The prophecy.
Walsh is becoming everything I thought Langford would be years ago
FROM FAITH FAMILY, ACADEMY HIGH SCHOOL, IN DALLAS TEXAS, NUMBER 27:
JORRRRDAAANNN, WAAAAAAAAALLLSSSH
(Ima Boss in the background)
Jordan walsh was insanely good today
I genuinely believe that Walsh has the tools to become a Mikal Bridges-like impact player.
Let me be clear, I am NOT saying that’s the most likely outcome or it’s guaranteed. But he absolutely has the tools to get there. He’s only 21.
I can’t recall having done a larger 180 on any one guy on the Celtics in recent memory. I thought he’d be a roster casualty midway through the season.
We need to get him on a multi-year extension THIS offseason. Same with Minott, decline the option next year and re-sign with the MLE at a friendly AAV.
Bridges wasn’t as good as Walsh is now at the same age
Crazy to see you tiptoe around comping Walsh to Bridges, that’s not even unrealistic. I used to think Lonnie Walker was gonna be a multi time all NBA player. Don’t be afraid to be optimistic, life’s more fun this way.
Today’s win is dedicated to the memory of the “tRaDe D. wHiTe” users on this sub. Gone but trying their hardest to have their views forgotten.
Hell I don’t even think “trade D White” is the absolute worst take in the world. It’s bad but like a 3⁄10 on the bad scale. There’s always a return that would make sense.
Now, the “The Celtics are a better team without D White” clowns should be banned from the sub. That’s just straight trolling
Only guy I’m trading Derrick for is Giannis
I think I know who you’re talking about 👀 lol
There’s this poor guy on Tiktok who runs a lap for every point the Wizards lose by. Let us think of him tonight.
Nah, that’s a crazy promise to make 😭
going to be running through D.C. like this at this point:
LMAO fool ain’t running 10 miles.
Wizards defense said fuck that guy in particular
Michael Jordan Walsh.
Bring on the Fakers.
Scheierman with a + 42!!!
Chesepeake Baylor
MF’ers really thought we could tank with teams like this in the east
We tried for a few games before realizing we were severely outclassed.
Celtics outscored the wizards 2nd half in the 3rd quarter alone
just absurd 😭
It was foolish of any of us to ever think tanking was on the table… look what the competition would have been. This team is full of winners.
No reason to not try to sneak into the Finals
It might legitimately be easier to make the Finals than to have the worst overall record with how bad the Wizards are
Jordan Walsh my goodness
Walsh and Hugo combining for 36 points on 14-15 shooting and 3-3 from 3 is sustainable, right?
BRING ME THE LAKERS! WE AIN’T FINISHED KICKING ASS YET!
Are Jordan Walsh and Derrick White the greatest bald duo of all time?!
Many are saying so!
Great Big Beautiful Bald
Tho main competition I can think of is the ‘92 Dream Team had Jordan, Barkley, and Magic as teammates (though I guess that’s a bald trio).
I came into this season genuinely thinking we might had the worst under-25 farm system in the nba.
It’s fantastic to see Walsh, minott and Hugo playing quality ball even if it’s against the shorthanded wizards.
Celtics are coming for the 3 seed within a weeks time btw
Moved from 8th to 5th in like 2 days 😂 let’s goooo
All gas no brakes.
Jordan Walsh suddenly becoming a Boston Guy is a wonderful development. Love this guy
Deadpool popped off
I live in the DC area and whole years go by where I forget we have (or are supposed to have) an NBA team.
I see I still have no reason to remember them.
The Wizards have five 50 win seasons in franchise history since their founding in 1961.
Jaylen Brown has six.
They have been a ridiculously mediocre team for a very long time. I’d cheer for the Celtics anyway but it would be nice to have a respectable team in my hometown. And they are not it.
mostly because the East is garbage, i think we’re a healthy tatum and maybe a center trade away from the best team in the east. we’d be smoked in the finals but still
Not if the center trade is for Giannis
We don’t need Giannis to match the Thunder. Just a good versatile two way starting center.
So Giannis then? But I don’t think he would ever fit
Giannis is like a Ferrari when we just need a nice Benz. Some player ideally like Mobley, Chet, JJJ, but even be Robert Williams, Sabonis or someone like that with some flaws. Even guys like AD or Zion whose injury concerns could make them more affordable than Giannis.
Maybe so but I don’t think you can make the case that putting Giannis w JT/JB wouldn’t make us better. That’s the best core group on the league by a pretty significant margin
Well sure. But we can’t really afford Giannis. Maybe if we were tanking this year and had a top pick, but otherwise we won’t get close.
So here’s the thing- we can.
White, Simons, Hugo, X gets you there with the money & then it’s basically all the picks & swaps. Def an all the way tf in move.
Why would MKE do this, you ask? Well I’ll lay it out:
It’s not an open market sweepstakes. The Bucks will, not a doubt in my mind, send Giannis somewhere on a short list of championship competitive teams he & his agent provide. He won them a ring, he’s the greatest Buck in history. They’re not sending him to fucking Chicago or some bullshit.
Within that short list, every team is hamstrung by cba restrictions or having already given away all their future draft equity, or by the fact that to make it work w the $ they’d have to gut their team à la Carmelo to NY.
I also don’t see any reason for MKE to bring back current talent. Nobody they’d get would make them actually good- they need to bottom out & enter a full rebuild. Ie they’d prefer a stupendous haul of picks/swaps & salary relief.
If we give them, say, 5 picks & swaps (the latter part of which could be super valuable), they flip White for 2 more FRPs & some expiring money, they end up with 7 picks & 60 million in salary relief & a handsome 19 year old Spaniard who has tremendous upside & could prove a great future trade chip after you give him huge usage on a tank squad.
Obv if we’re not on his list we’re not on his list. BUT if we are there’s actually a framework that works there.
Lol. Those picks and swaps are worthless on a team with Giannis, and the Jays. Milwaukee would never do this, unless they had no other offers. Everyone says they will send their star to where they want, but look what happened with Lillard and the Heat. The team will ultimately do what is best for it. Milwaukee also doesn’t have control of their own picks, so they can’t even tank.
My guy by 2030 & out this core will have aged out or been broken up- Cs picks are very likely lotto picks. They can get nearer term picks from flipping White.
They’re not sending him to anyone that’s not gong to be very very good in the near term.
And if you’re gonna be so dismissive should be trivial for you to come up with another deal that would 1) get Giannis to a contending situation, 2) gets the Bucks what they need going forward 3) meets the strictures of the cba & 4) that the counterparty would agree to (for instance Presti could easily godfather everyone but that team is reigning champions on pace to win 75 games- they’re not fucking with that)
Let me know when you come up w something I’m genuinely interested
The big three would be less than 35 in 2030. Why would the Celtics trade their entire future if they don’t even have a 4 year window? Milwaukee would be completely hopeless if they do this trade with 0 lottery picks and no stars. This is like pure fantasy delusion.
Yes & by 2032-2034 Giannis is 37 & Jaylen is 35. Cap/tax will have them breaking up that team well before that anyway
Again please scoff less (there’s really no reason to) & if you think I’m “delusional” actually provide a better deal that meets the conditions above or, like, stfu
Also, I never said this was gonna happen or even that it was likely- only that it imo it sits in the realm of the possible.
Way more fun just to talk about it & throw ideas back & forth than be so anti
Also I been called delusional on this sub for saying Jaylen could be a good shooter & playmaker someday, that Pritchard would be a valuable player, that Nesmith would be good, on & on. Find a new slant
Jordan Walsh
Wonder if they’ll have Queta tomorrow considering he only played 20 mins
To W.W. (Walsh White). My Star, My Perfect Silence.
Jordan “Drake Maye” Walsh
I remember John Hollinger a few years ago saying something like ‘Whenever Washington is in town go see your team play. You will see whatever dream the GM had in mind when he put the team together.’
Looks like under Brad and Joe we don’t have to worry if they can develop players lol
Easy one! Go Celtics
We all thought Jaylen Brown and Derrick White were gonna be the two guys trying to get All-Star/All-NBA spots this season, but it turns out it’s Jordan Walsh and Hugo Gonzalez’s time to shine with Tatum out.
Wowweeeeee. What a A$$$$ Whuppin
You want THIS team to Tank?
We have the momentum… let’s eat the lakers tomorrow
GINO TIME
Walsh in a league of his own Generational decision by Horford.
Horford fan just getting the jokes off.
Is White back
I have to admit I was wrong. I thought Walsh would be in Maine or off the team entirely by now.
I was at the game and there were a lot more people there rooting for the Celtics than the Wizards. It was a good time. Jordan Walsh was impressive. The Wizards used up all their timeouts early and the C’s poured it on after that.
We are now 8-2 with Walsh as a starter
Preciate Jaylen taking a game off so Dwhite can get going.
Can we start the campaign for the Hugo ‘Speedy’ Gonzales nickname now?!
Heat fans: “Should have won by 46 🥴🥴🥴”
I was there today! Good to see the Celtics put the smack down on when without Tatum and Brown! Our guys are good!

I think that we should ask the NCAA if we can send the Wizards to the Atlantic 10, just convert their salaries into NIL money (not zero money, although they played worth that), but the college Name and Image likeness)
Let’s go! Tanks for nothin
*admiring english voice* That’s got to be the best tanking team I’ve ever seen.
The tank continues apace. Good work everyone.
Yo I dont do those “apology form” things after 1 good game for guys I’d given up on, but holy shit.
Sorry for giving up on Walshy. I was lukewarm about the pick, then I started to have reasonable hopes for his ceiling, til he won me over with his personality & enthusiasm on the bench. I wanted to see him win.
After bad SL’s, preseasons, never getting any run, not looking the part when he did - I was irritated with him being glued to the bench. I’m not sure if my faith was lower in him or in Joe & the staff to properly develop another raw wing, after watching Nesmith go boom within months of not rotting on our bench. I did try to remind myself he was still the youngest guy here, but between him and Baylor - our prospects weren’t at all looking good.
Good lord am I thankful they didn’t botch this one & he’s had the opportunity to be unleashed. As much as I hated Tatum’s injury & how they went out in NY, I don’t think we beat OKC last yr, we needed a reset, JT needed to rest, JB got to be the #1, PP & Queta have proved they can start & Joe finally is free to let less heralded scrappers get PT - so this is a blessing in more ways than one.
We’ll be so much better after having had a season like this. We may miss out on a lottery pick, which is a big bummer - but we’ll have found & empowered at least 2-3 youngins that can be pivotal pieces for our next few runs (Minott, Walsh, Hugo) & might still be able to add an exciting rookie or 2 to the roster, now that we know what we have in our previous rooks.
White, JB, Walsh, JT, Queta
PP, Hugo, Hauser, Minott, Big
PG, Baylor, Amari
Chips: Simons, Boucher, Garza
If we get a lotto pick, we could possibly get into the top 10. If not, there’s plenty of solid prospects that’d add value to the roster in the late 1st & 2nd. I’d like to grab a playmaker, shooter, athletic jumbo Forward or a big with a high ceiling. Adding any 2 of those would go a long way towards completing the team. Dream picks would be Milos Uzan (6’5 PG) & Henri Veesaar (7 ft rim protector w/ post moves & shooting touch).
Uzan’s size & skills would be a perfect understudy to DWhite. Pass first, good scorer, great D. Getting both him & Veesaar would fill holes at backup PG & C. If we cant get either one, good alternatives would be a combo of (PG) Silas Demary, Dash Daniels, Stirtz, Jasper Johnson or De Larrea + © Alex Condon, JT Toppin, Hannes Steinbach, Yaxel Lendeborg or Ivisic.
There’s also a ton of wing/F depth, if Brad wanted to replace Baylor or get a cheaper alternative to Hauser. A dynamo scorer like Jaron Pierre Jr or PJ Haggerty could come in & provide points off the bench. Names like Darrion Williams, Miles Byrd or Dailyn Swain are all athletic wing defenders who provide versatility in addition to points. Braylon Mullins or Thomas Haugh would be pure shooters like PP/Sam as rookies.
G/Handler:
De Larrea (6’7, Spanish passer, skilled scorer)
Demary (6’5, elite D, slashing, on/off ball)
Dash (6’6, 205, elite D, passer, scorer & good 3pt)
Stirtz (6’4, gym rat, 3 lvl scorer, BBIQ, Senior)
Jasper (6’4, 200, athletic, well rounded combo G)
Scorers:
Mullins (6’5, 180, elite shooter/scoring)
Jaron Pierre Jr (Senior, 6’5, elite athlete & scorer)
Haggerty (6’3, 195, elite slasher/scorer)
Stretch 4:
Yaxel (6’9, 240, elite D & reb, skills - can play 3-5)
Haugh (6’9, 210, hustle, reb, 3pt, scorer)
Darrion (6’6, 235, versatile, hustle/glue, elite D, good passer, spacing - SloMo/PJ Tucker)
Freeman (6’9, 205, Dean Wade type, 3&D)
Bigs:
Condon (7ft, 225, high lvl Reb/Blk, passer, scorer & 3pt threat. Kalk - KP/Sengun)
Toppin (6’9, 220 elite reb & interior, D, mobile)
Steinbach (Double doubles, spacing, D, passing)
Ivisic (7’1, 255, ELITE shooter, great interior touch & a solid rim deterrent, passer. Less mobile)
Flory (6’10, 225, athletic, good interior skills, handle is decent. Capela - Okongwu type)
Nothing like everyone smiling except Joe at the end of the game
