I know it’s preseason but 5 steals is impressive
We love Baylor!
May he never shave the stache’ again

This is why the ball knowers and the advanced metrics love Hugo Gonzalez.
Hugo is gonna be a player in this league for a while. Hope most of that time is with the Celts.
The player not traded for Giannis?
Yep
Still would have traded him and Brown for Giannis
It wasn’t just Hugo.
Boston offered Brown + 2 firsts.
Milwaukee wanted Brown + 4 firsts + 1 swap + Hugo + Baylor.
Okay, it was more picks than I remembered. Still I would have pulled the trigger, Giannis would have made them favorites in the east imo
The issue with Giannis is that you then need to also save enough assets for a floor-stretching big.
Spending everything we have on Giannis would be like selling the saddle to buy the horse. You’re going to need those assets to find someone who can pair with him.
Not only did Miami take Bobby Portis in the trade to help in that department, but people are sleeping on how much Miami has been working on Bam’s 3P shooting over the past couple of seasons.
As a Celtics fan, I didn’t want Giannis at all.
I don’t think he’ll have a healthy season again. Can’t be your 1A.
No, this league is all about roleplayers now and Hugo is going to be one of the best roleplayers in the league. Will never make the max but will be incredibly valuable
Good point, that is being reinforced by the new cap rules. You need good role players on good contracts to win
Yeah, it’ll always be one star and a ton of support now I guess. Wonder how this develops tbh
Maybe it’s for the best, would be very hard for me to root for the Celtics haha
Yeah if that deal was on the table it would’ve been great. Unfortunately the other team also has to agree.
Look at PG man, so inspirational.
He looked like he was flying out there. Hope he can keep this energy throughout the season.
Healthy PG has always been a problem
Real. One of my favorite players of the 2010s, always respected PG’s game
I’m rooting for both pg and jb to prove which side of the trade was actually worth it
Pre season p
The PG PP
NSFW
This PP is not PG13 😏
Playoff P to PP
Great pass by Hugo, them boys flying around
That’s why you don’t trade him for Giannis! (Joke aside that pass was actually sick lol)
It’s a meaningless preseason game but the Celtics look fantastic.
Pickpocket P
I still laugh at these… Can’t help myself
People will tell you this team is boring because they just shoot a bunch of 3s and it’s how you’ll know they either aren’t actually watching or are just hating for the sake of it.
Facts. Warriors broke the game, it’s an easy way to win. The Celtics have just been the best at replicating that play style consistently year after year
Why would it matter whether people think the team is boring or not? The objective is to win and if they do it then none of the outside noise matters. You’re a fan of the team and follow them closely so if you enjoy it then the other opinions don’t matter.
“Jaylen Brown over me?” - PG13
Just an absolutely ridiculous steal by PG. might be early but defensively hes looking like a major upgrade to jb
He was genuinely one of the best defenders in the league for the time he played last year. His on ball has always been good/great when fit, and his off ball gets better every single year.
mr major improvement shot 30
Major upgrade? JB was famous for always guarding the other teams best player. He was a phenomenal defender
He really wasn’t though. He has been a bad/lazy team defender for years now. When he locks in he can be pretty good 1v1 but that’s it
Good 1 on 1 when he cares or it’s a big matchup. Very poor off ball defender. Very very poor
How was he offball?
JB has been a negative defensive player for years now.
I’m going to miss JB so much, but this team is going to be so fun this year
I love our team currently. But after the game I saw a clip of Tatum’s pre-game intro without the JTxJB jump and that made me sad 😔 looked so weird..
I miss him badly. But this team also looks so damn good
i was a hater when the trade happened but its pretty cool to finally see pg in a celtics uniform
Sleeper pick for 3rd seed in the east.
Lol? You spelled favorite wrong. Sleeper for the title maybe.
Haha. As always, it’s title or bust. No in between.
As it should be.
Let’s not get delusional.
lets
get
lol with what center to bang with?
Aside from Robinson’s cardio being awful, he’s not meant to start games. Bros body can’t handle a full season with starting minutes.
They might get cute during the regular season, but C’s ain’t got enough big bodies to hang in the playoffs
Last year was Quetas first year getting real minutes and hs first playoff series. He’ll be much more ready next time
Second highest over under in the east…
Celtics are never a sleeper pick when people refuse to shut the fuck up about them
Whenever the Celtics are not on screen, people should be asking “where are the Celtics?”
I can’t quite nail down this reference and it’s driving me crazy
Simpsons
Excited to see Hugo, D White, PG all in passing lanes in a preseason game.
Watching him since he was a freshman at Oregon to now he obviously has an insane work flow. Happy to see it, that pull up 3 has always been money
God Paul George looks weird in white and green.
I PRAY that PG is a net positive when the season actually begins.
PG has never been a Net negative in his nba career, the worst was 2018 when he was a +0 on/off.
You may say that, but PG is getting old, and he already had a history of injuries. He may not be a net negative so far, but the concern is still there.
Sixers fan, there’s zero chance PG is a negative unless we’re talking health concerns. He’s still an elite player.
PG will be better for them than Brown was if his body is right. big if.
I think as long as the team realize that he is still elite for about one quarter per game and use him accordingly, he should be a net positive.
Cant wait for the playoffs to beat LeBum again. Been waiting for his weak ass to come back to the east and beat the shit out of him.
It pissed me off so much he went to the lakers after he beat us in 2018
HE DUCKING
JT dunked on him and it was his sign to get outta dodge before he made the leap
No matter which team you are a fan of, there isn’t a year you could be saying “beat the shit out of him” about lebron in the last 15 years 😭😭😭
He literally put belt to ass for 8 straight years in your bum ass conference
These comments are tongue in cheek.
Y’all punks be taking everything too seriously 😭😭
Lmao Bron is the Celtics daddy man. Y’all see that man and get PTSD
The Celtics are the only team in the East that ever gave him trouble.
And the only Celtics teams he beat were the geriatric Celtics vs an all prime Heat team. And even that went to 7 games
2018
this is not accurate, 2011 was a 4-1 win, and by that same reasoning a 23 year old lebron with varejao and mo williams went to 7 vs the 2008 title celtics are their best
so the “and it went game 7 vs a superteam” would go both ways
not when he’s 41 years old lol
That makes the “was waiting to kick lebron ass” sentiment a lot less of a revenge boast that it would be otherwise tho lol
Is like if utah was happy to get a shot at wizards jordan
other guy said that part, not me. im just pointing out that bron isn’t too scary to see these days
hes everyone in the east’s daddy unfortunately
Lol the Celtics are who sent Bron crying to Miami to start a superteam
NEVER WAS and btw your bubble ring DO NOT COUNT
This made me wet
Pritchard has perfect form on his jumper
Fire 🔥
This is r/nba’s Super Bowl 😂
Based on this singular play, Brad Stevens 1000% made the right choice. You can’t convince me otherwise 😤
If PG is able to stay healthy and continues to put in this type of effort he legitimately might be the Celtics best all around player. This might be hyperbole.
Definitely not but the defensive upgrade on JB is so huge
Referring to a current Celtic as PP is bold
Celtics fans have been referring to Pritchard as PP for like 4 years. Nobody refers to Paul Pierce as PP.
Do not disrespect fastpp
Paul Pierce is ‘The Truth’
PP is PP, and that’s the truth.
Paul Pierce is the motherfuckin’ Truth
