Hauser is now shooting over 40% from 3. If it continues to the end of the season it would be his 11th straight year of shooting above 40% from 3 (every single season after his sophomore year in highschool).

One of the things that annoyed me most from Celtics fans were thinking he was easily replaceable. Hauser isn’t a dude that grows on trees, he is one of the most reliable shooters of this generation. The guy will go through his cold spells, but they are always followed by extreme hot stretches that bring his efficiently back to elite.

Yeah it’s nice that Walsh and Minot have turned into reliable shooters (and Hugo has potential), but hitting a few spot ups is not the same as an off ball weapon that can shoot off screens, contested, fresh off the bench, and even has a no dip shot- plus he’s got a nice middy, moves his feet, and is ~~6’8~~ 6’7. We are actually running plays for Hauser that the defense has to be mindful of, it’s a completely different level.

He’s gotta be available just because use he and Simons are the easiest to trade, but it should only be for a genuinely good deal. He’s at the top of his archetype.

Joe seems to be very comfortable trusting him and using him in different ways/amounts too, as more of a veteran- he’s now the only remaining bench player who played real minutes in the championship run.

Agree with everything but there’s no shot he’s 6’8 right?

You’re right google does say 6’7, could’ve sworn I’ve heard Scal or someone say 8 but idk. Regardless, he’s a sneaky good vertical defender and picks up some nice blocks and boards.

He’s as much 6’8 as anyone else in the league listed 6’8. All these guys are really like 6’6.5 barefoot.

Hauser is who Pat Riley thought Duncan Robinson was when he gave him that atrocious contract

One of the narratives that I hope is dying before our eyes is that Hauser can be adequately replaced by Scheierman.

idk what was said but after Joe and Charlisle shook hands, TJ McConnell came up and had some words for Joe. Didn’t look friendly and Joe seemed to say something back and just keep walking.

TJ’s looks like just a friendly gesture. Joe is just his usual dead pan. TJ was also laughing with Derrick and Sam Cassell aftereards.
