What a fun game to watch. The offense was really flowing.

Zero D. Zero. By both teams. Disorganized. A mess. The good thing is the Celts can win in a game like this. It's true the Celtic defense is horrible in this game. There's just no rim protection. Kanter has played in 3 games and he has yet to block a single shot. Poirier is big and athletic, but limited skills. Brad Stevens had to turn to Ojeleye late in the 4th, hoping the interior defense would be better. But Ojeleye makes too many mistakes. RWill and Theis were certainly missed in this game.

Brown is a very good defender, but he does bite for pump fakes more then not. Thats youth

I love the balance and depth of this team. Guys like Edwards, Wannamaker, can get hot to compliment guys like Kemba, Hayward, Tatum, Brown, Kanter, Smart. We really have 8 people, at least, who can score the basketball. 9 with Javonte who seems like a natural scorer.

I think Tatum and Brown compliment each other well. Tatum you cant leave open from the perimeter, which opens up for Brown on the drive. Also, Brown helps hide Tatum's work-in-progress D. Also, Tatum compensates for Brown's work-in-progress consistency. ALso, the bromance appears to be real.

Midgets got the job done tonight. Kemba with 25 and Carsen with 18. Great stuff! Well lets not jinx it. The real test is by playoffs time. We all here know that comes playoffs, midgets get their lanes closed by taller guys and they becomes useless. We have seen it over and over ever since IT came here. I hope thats not the case with kemba but i am not even sure if he even has playoff experience?? Also, you said in the offseason that we were going to be mediocre if we didnt sign kyrie back. Its a long season. I love this team. Lets see.

If some had their way, diva KI would have been resigned and teamed up with an unhappy AD (yearning to be in LA) to give us a one year window to winning #18... and we would have given up great young talent in the process.
Short sighted pursuit of a ring that likely would have imploded.... leaving this franchise in a deep, deep hole, facing yet another rebuild.

Good to see the crowd still loves Isaiah!! He gave all he had, to the Celtics!! he has to play once more in a celtics uniform. The love is from both sides. I dont miss him but i do get it, he did alot. I can see it happening in the future but not now. And i could see it happening as a 8th 9th role. Not even a 6th man.

Its a long season. I love this team. Lets see. I didn't know Ainge was going to replace Kyrie with Kemba. You think the Celts would be 9-1 right now if Ainge did not sign Kemba? Losing Kyrie was losing a 20-point scorer. Kemba's also a 20-point scorer. If I said the Celts would be mediocre with Kemba then that's another story. In fact, I said the Celts would surprise a lot of NBA fans this season. I predicted 56 wins this season. That's not mediocre. The difference between IT and Kemba is Kemba's a better 3-point shooter. Clog all the driving lanes and Kemba will be happy shooting 3s all game long.

After 10 games, Celts have no player averaging 5 assists per game. Last season the Celts averaged more assists per game compared to this season. Kemba's even averaging more 3-pointers, 9.9 attempts per game, than Kyrie last season, 6.5 attempts per game. So the theory that the Celts needed a pass first PG in order for JT and JB to thrive is false.
The question now is why are the Celts better with a shoot first PG like Kemba?
Last season Kyrie averaged a career high in assists per game, 6.9 assists per game.
I mean Kemba's not even trying to facilitate for others. What Kemba does is get open so that he can jack up another 3.
The difference is Kemba's a likable guy. Kemba's teammates like him. A good guy, that's what Kemba is.
With Kyrie, no matter how good he is, if his teammates don't like him, the team will not succeed.
The problem with the Celts last season was more personal than basketball.

Kemba is not a ball stopper! Kyrie was almost Rondo like, he either wanted to score, or keep the ball in his hands, until he could get the assist! Plus,Kemba is much better on defense!

Not only that, i dont think kemba has taken the majority of the shots in all the games. Kyrie on the other hand made sure that he took most of the shots. This is not about teammates not liking KI. As a matter of fact if i am not wrong, the majority of them said that kyrie made the team better. Go figure. Kemba is taking advantage of the cast around him. Kyrie never ever did that and he is not doing it as a Net either.

Fierce give it up in your clusterfucked arguments pro and against kyrie. You were always pro kyrie and now you see the others being the issue, not kyrie. He is a talente ball hog with the worst attitude in the nba as it stands.

I think one think deserves mention, is the improvements seen in Jaylen, Smart, Tatum, Hayward.
Are they playing better because they are more engaged because its more of a balanced scoring approach (and not the Kyrie show)? I would imagine its playing a part.
Are they playing better because Kyrie's sulky attitude has been replaced with Kemba's upbeat personality? I would imagine its playing a part.
Are they playing better because of increased confidence and general development? I would imagine its playing a part.

Are they playing better because of increased confidence and general development? I would imagine its playing a part. i would have never thought that JB JT Marcus or even hayward after the injury regressed from their games last year. There was a magnetic force bogging those guys down and that was kyries style of playing and attitude. We saw glimpses of hayward but how often was the offense carried through him? Same with JT and JB. Like 10 percent of the whole season. A proof of my statements, look at the Nets now. Same shit that happened in boston is happening in NJ. Same shit. All the other miraculously regressing?? I dont believe it one bit!
