Congratulations on your marriage 🎉The best of luck to you. ❤ I also wanted to thank you for all this Celtics content this offseason. Very much appreciated!!!

I hope Mazzulla implements zone even if its just to prepare them when they face it in pressure situations. Understanding it will only help them attack it.

Thank you, John!

On the potential switch to zone defence. I actually came to that conclusion when Grant was traded. I didn’t exactly call that exact scheme but I had a feeling the Celtics wanted to promote more team defence. Generally we relied so heavily on Smart and Williams to carry the defence and defend the opposing teams best player. I’ve said it before in a previous podcast. I felt the switching defence slowed us down a bit in transition and also for particular matchups and against particular teams we gave up a lot of offensive boards as the big man switched to the ball handler and the bigger roll man had a clear lane. It’s generally not a problem until 3 minutes left in a must win game and the opposing team exploits the switch; either gets fouled or gets an easy offensive board. The move to zone is really welcome news, I want EVERYONE to play defence - 1 through 5. Brad wanted a point offence I want the same effort and team mentality on the other end.

Hey, John. What do you think of the In-Season tournament and how do you think it will impact the Celtics and the league?

Congrats on your marriage John! Much appreciated on the Celtics content during dog days of summer

100. Even if we didn't get bigger, it was abundantly clear that switch everything is less and less effective against good teams in the playoffs. I hope Brad/Joe see the same flaw with live 3 or die hard. Hearing Brad talk balance in the lineup gives me a lot of faith that there will be important philosophical changes on both ends.

Luke Kornet fills the big role perfectly. With Williams and Porzingis being injury-prone and Horford being old. You need to get him into the rotation

Wall has played just 70+ games in the last 4 years. If he’ll take a seat on the bench perhaps I’d gamble on him, but he has to come cheap. Brogdon gets hurt at least once a year too but if his insurance policy is just as injury prone it makes no sense. I just want to know where the mental toughness is going to come from. Is losing so badly last year in that G7 going to finally help these dudes turn the corner? I love the Porzingis signing/trade, but if nothing changes then nothing changes. Would love to hear a show on this subject John or at least a segment. Thanks!

Derrick white may shoot less and efficiency may go down but he has a mean float game, so if he is required to set up plays mord then he will be fine scoring wise. Plus in the times White set up the plays, as long as the ball moves around he will still get his catch and shoot oppurtunities in similar fashion. The thing i think that will drop will be his defense he hes required to do a lot more on offence. Itll take more energy out of him but this is all speculation

@TheRobversion1

Жыл бұрын

white actually has good efficiencies. He ranks in the 81st percentile in offensive efficiency. Imo he should be getting more shots but hes deferring too much to the Js, smart and brogdon. White's defense was fine in SA (though not all-def levels) when he was asked by Pop to be lead guard. He should be fine and get better.

Honeymoon episode 🔥☘️

I only thought it made sense to run zone because we just got really big in the starting lineup, hopefully JB is the biggest benefactor of it this new length.

Think we should try to trade for cole anthony. Magic have a ton of pgs and his contracts expiring, would be a good fit off the bench

Congrats on the wedding bearman karalis! 🎉🎉🎉

Thr zone theory makes sense.

Great as always. As always, it seems like you think Brogdon isn't on the team- just a feeling or do you know something? Giant line-up Brown 6'6", Tatum 6'8", Horford 6'9", Williams 6'9" , Porzingus 7'3" Small Ball White 6'4", Brogdon 6'5", Brown 6'6", Tatum 6'8", Porzingus 7'3"

I’ve been wanting us to sign Rondo back. Fits your want of a pass 1st ball handler, and we should have 1 guy on our team who has actually won. And if we did win Rondo is suddenly a top 7 Celtic of all time and would probably retire after.

@TheRobversion1

We cant. Rondo is retired. Would be on board bringing rondo back as an assistant coach though i suspect he'd fight with mazzula alot. We already have a pass-1st guy in white. He was just misused in his celtics tenure. People conveniently forgetting who he was for Pop.

Yes to changing up the D! Box and 1, 2/1/2, or just man-to-man ya gotta keep options open and certain lineups will work better with different schemes. We were as reliant on the switching as we were on 3's last year. When these things worked, sure it was great but they didn't work more often than they did and other teams exploited them almost at will by the time the playoffs rolled around. 5-out is easy for teams to defend when they know they can leave a guy open (Marcus or whoever else isn't shooting well that game) and guard the rest of us 5 on 4. And, on D, switching is great until teams realized they could just shuffle the deck until they got the cut/matchup they wanted and, in the meantime, one of us would be lost in space for easy open passes, cuts, dunks, free throws, etc.. Maddening and we actually got worse at both in the playoffs. Schemes were shooting ourselves in the feet. So, here's to becoming less predictable and less analytics-based, please, with this new season and new squad! #paytonneedsminutes

I think it's hard to say they aren't looking to move Brogdon... cuz they tried to move Brogdon lol. CBA is forcing teams to make strict business related decisions and it's hard to justify a backup making 21 mil who will likely miss a good chunk of time every season. As a player its hard not to love what brog does and I can't fathom the celtics want to move him becuase of his fit, but if you can turn him in to two reliable role players or a player of similar caliber but maybe a little more versatile... They likely do that. Will be interesting to see how that plays out, im hoping he is not too upset about the initial trade and is ready to prove that he never should have been on the block.
