(It worked well for us about PP as a backup, so I am trying something here…)
lefebraveBto Boston Celtics@nba.space•NEXT DAY THREAD: The Celtics tame the Deer with the help of a 26/2/8 from JBEnglish1·2 years agoYeah, you are right, the rotation is keeping DWhite with Jaylen. I am ok with that too but I still believe Jrue is a better matchup with KP and Jaylen, especially because of his defense and rebounding. (There was a post like a week ego about three man lineups around the league and that three was near the top of that list but I am lazy to find that now.) So i am just hoping for that small change in Joe’s. rotations but no complain either way.
lefebraveBto Boston Celtics@nba.space•NEXT DAY THREAD: The Celtics tame the Deer with the help of a 26/2/8 from JBEnglish1·2 years agoThere you also pointed out the reason why JB-KP plays are so good for us going forward.
lefebraveBto Boston Celtics@nba.space•NEXT DAY THREAD: The Celtics tame the Deer with the help of a 26/2/8 from JBEnglish1·2 years agoWell, if we managed to limit Giannis and Dame like this every time, he actually might play this well but it doesn’t matter in that case.
lefebraveBto Boston Celtics@nba.space•NEXT DAY THREAD: The Celtics tame the Deer with the help of a 26/2/8 from JBEnglish1·2 years agoThe thing this sub don’t really think about is what Jaylen’s role means, especially this year. His plus/minus can get better, but it will never be too good. He shares the court with Tatum less than others and well, he is not Tatum. (As you well said, rebounding and defense also plays a role in the difference between lineups.)
I really like what Joe is doing with the rotations this year. JB-KP duo takes on non-Tatum minutes and actually that holds better than last year’s non-Tatum minutes. Their connection really means a lot to the team and they demonstrate lots of potential there. One thing lacks in that duo is ball-handling which is supposed to be provided by Jrue or DWhite. For the last few games, DWhite wasn’t around and Jrue was not really himself, that is when Jaylen’s performance and numbers dropped. But Jrue-JB-KP lineups did really well before that and I think mostly that will be the case. I am expecting a division between Jrue+JB+KP+bench and Tatum+White+Al+bench when resting the starters. The others might change but Tatum and JB will take turns and that will hurt plus/minus for JB for sure but that is a good plan.
You are spot on about rebounding, that is one point we need to figure out about the rotations. (That was also the only thing hurting us this game.)
lefebraveBto Boston Celtics@nba.space•Post Game Thread: The Boston Celtics defeat The Milwaukee Bucks 119-116English1·2 years agoI liked our offense. All the hunting on Dame, Beasley on Kris, good ball movement and PnRs, playmaking from JB… I liked our defense too, made Dame, Lopez and Giannis work for every shot. The only thing we need to work on defensive boards, this was a blowout in the first half if not for those second chance points with offensive boards.
This could be the best JB game while Tatum was suffering from illness but also prob to Al Horford and Sam. Horford was the secret hero of this game, as he usually is against both Philly and Bucks with all the right things to do and Sam is again a sniper.

lefebraveBto Boston Celtics@nba.space•Game Thread: Milwaukee Bucks (10-4) at Boston Celtics (11-3) Nov 22 2023 7:30 PMEnglish1·2 years agoHorford, as always against Philly and Bucks, is the secret hero in this game.
lefebraveBto Boston Celtics@nba.space•Game Thread: Milwaukee Bucks (10-4) at Boston Celtics (11-3) Nov 22 2023 7:30 PMEnglish1·2 years agoTurnovers imply that we lost the focus a little bit. I don’t blame them, they are in full control from the beginning but we need to tighten it up for last minutes. A needed time out.
