Jerrya, did you make a Win predication?
I don't have yours.
Not to late to take a guess ....

I don't think I put anything here but I did make a small wager on over 23.5

It don’t work that way Jer.

Simmons opens with about 25 minutes of his take on wk 1 NBA and mentions my newest bestie, and the guy kid has never seen play but has a hot take all ready to go, Payton Prichard. PP gets some Sportsguy love.


Is this still off my initial comment on Celts use of PP?

I have seen Pritchard three times now.  I have been a fan from the start.

Makes rook mistakes.  What rook doesnt.  And spacing in this league is learned

But the jumper is better than I imagined.  Not his fault he is not used to the size he will see flying at him (open he is pure)

Other than that - I would just like to see Celts let him out of the cage a bit, so to speak.  Have to see that magic handle - as Hornets are allowing Ball.

Too often of course, as is today's game, the PG is limited due to the rebounder insisting on bringing it up court (and seemingly not to coach's dismay).  Days of the true point are dwindling.

Thanks for the nod on the Simmons cast.  I have just begun to open up the podcast world.

With all the hooplah - and a win over Bucks, Knicks win pace if they lose in Indiana will be

I'm glad your a PP fan, I think he's shown a lot in a short period of time.

But Kid to be honest you changed your tune after I called you out on your Pritchard "stays in the corner" snark and comping him to a rook who might get 5 minutes a night in blowouts.

And your come back was "PP wasn't running the offense"

And I told you, No shit, with no pre-season and no summer league and "2 games in"  PP didn't know the offense. 5 games in he still doesn't.

At that time you seemed unaware that he was getting minutes,  and performing well.

Now that he's been getting some pub, you're a big fan.

So am I, but I'm waiting to see what he does and how he adjusts, as the league gets a read on him.

And they will.

RJ has got to be hitting those night sessions. Quite a few of our guys do, and they need to keep it up well past the first game where they actually hit some shots again.

The criticism was of the Celtics, not PP

Still is.

With Walker out, let the kid fly

You likely agree, to a point.

I think my initial comment was after their first game.

Its a new year - stop being a dick.  I posted admirably of Pritchard a few times pre draft

At this early stage I just look at skillset - unless I see some timidity.  My comment was on usage

Barrett losing his focus on the iron.  Its fairly obvious.  Some scorers like to watch the flight of the ball.

I'm not a dick kid-just pressing you a bit on your bullshit.

and kid if I responded to every post of of yours that was unduly critical of the Celts, I'd hardly have enough time to watch the Celts.

I posted these about 5-6 weeks ago on SoSH re young guys and PT


11-21-2020 (before they got the TPE)

Exactly. Gordo was more promise than delivery for the past 3 years. The cap stuff is what it is, I posted in the other thread this open PT for development to get young guys (Romeo, TL, GW, Nesmith, PP) game ready for the post-season. We are reliant on Kemba being healthy. But this is not a disaster.

from 11-30-2020

I hope the Celts give a lot of time to some of the younger players (this year and last years crowded draft class and TL) and see what they have or can have, rather than give minutes to another vet, at least now. If they think they're a vet away near the trade dead-line then reassess.

pre-season prediction

I think we see a .500-ish team the first 20 or so games, as CBS plays the bench a lot, and guys figure out roles, and then a ..600+ team for the last 50 or so games, as Kemba returns and the puppies are house-trained.

42-44 wins

I think they could be pretty good

[kidcarter8]

I have given you credit on this board for knowing your team well

Your fault is in judging other fans, the neediness of such

We all have our faults kid.

But as you're Elba's house dealer in hot takes, you should learn to develop thicker skin.

If you insist on posting stupid shit, and I press you on it to back it up, and if you are called holding a 10-high, I'll make fun of you and take the pot.

And I'll do it all day.

pre or post Teague signing, which was the same day

just curious what your take was at SOSH on that move

I liked the Teague and TT signing. Celts needed a PG in Walker's absence to help the offensive flow. They looked stagnant wthout a PG. I figured Smart and Teague would be sevicable until Walker returned in late Jan, or Feb. TT seemed a decent defensive big-rebounder inside presence. And he has a winning pedigree

I also liked adding some gray hairs to a pretty young team.

[kidcarter8]

Wow - Pistons give up 120 a game.  Celtics have 40 at the half.

[chipstern]

Atlanta is FOR REAL. 

Damn. 

D'Andre Hunter is a 3&D wing on the rise.  Drafted right after RJ.
