@vhyped@ClutchNumbers@LegionHoops@ShamsCharania JB on the NBAPA pod: “the Celtics started me in 2019 bc the fans petitioned them” there is no record or testimony of any petition, and the Celtics would never let fans tell them who to start anyways. He’s been caught lying numerous times, that’s why I have JT’s back.
@vhyped@ClutchNumbers@LegionHoops@ShamsCharania I try to look at this without any Bias. JB has a history of lying to boost his image, JT doesn’t. That’s why I believe JT more than anything else. A little quote from Joe Mazz in the 2025 offseason “JB uses those transgressions as fuel and if there aren’t any, he makes one up”
@Conor_Myles_68@CoachGlaze13@RealTaIkWithMJ1 Shit I don’t disagree with you, especially on Smart being frustrating to watch. Doesn’t mean Jaylen isn’t better than all those guys. He just has flaws like every other player.
@vhyped@ClutchNumbers@LegionHoops@ShamsCharania You just said this is the history of the Celtics. So please tell me HOW DOES JT TIE INTO THAT AT ALL. He doesn’t want to be the GM like LeBron. Not all stars do, Brad said he had no say, Bill Chisholm said he had no say, shit even D White and Joe Mazzulla said he didnt have a say
@vhyped@ClutchNumbers@LegionHoops@ShamsCharania Idk where this “we did IT foul” narrative came from. We traded him to the Cavs to go play with LeBron and compete for a championship…. HE fucked up that opportunity, and THEY gave up on him.
@vhyped@ClutchNumbers@LegionHoops@ShamsCharania There are so many grammatical errors here idk where to start, a bit hard to understand lmao. All I’m hearing is you once again concocting and not paying any attention to the MOUND of evidence suggesting the opposite. Use your brain PLS! Still haven’t given me one shred of proof
@Conor_Myles_68@RealTaIkWithMJ1 Hard to say vs Hali bc of the difference in the way they impact the game, but definitely vs D Mitch he outproduced as a #1 option.
@Conor_Myles_68@RealTaIkWithMJ1 Different situations, both are the clear 1 on their team. When JB was the clear 1 on his team last season, he out produced both of their best seasons and it isn’t even close.
@Conor_Myles_68@RealTaIkWithMJ1 You’re trying to say Ajay Mitchell and Dylan Harper are CURRENTLY better than JB. Ajay Mitchell gets hunted in switches constantly, and Harper has never been more than a 3rd option. You have zero grounds to stand on to say either are better. You argue with emotion not logic.
@Conor_Myles_68@RealTaIkWithMJ1 I’m not propping up JB in anyway, I’m literally just giving you his resume, and you’re trying to use a 10 game sample size to diminish everything else he’s done in his career. Do you understand how stupid you sound?
@Conor_Myles_68@RealTaIkWithMJ1 Yes JB is bad off-ball but so are Hali, D Mitch, and 99% of stars in the league today. Defensive statistics are lowkey useless and misleading. Luka is a “good defender” according to the advanced metrics, because he gambles on passing lanes and gets steals.
@vhyped@ClutchNumbers@LegionHoops@ShamsCharania JT has never said anything negative about JB EVER, any question nothing but praise. The Celtics don’t let players have a say in trades, it’s how the organization has always been run. Paul Pierce didn’t get a say when Antoine got traded or when they let Ray Allen walk in FA.
@vhyped@ClutchNumbers@LegionHoops@ShamsCharania Usually the side with multiple corroborating stories vs one guys word is the truth. It’s common sense try it some time. You’re letting the media confuse your brain into concocting false narratives because you can’t think for yourself. Quit following the herd and actually research
@vhyped@ClutchNumbers@LegionHoops@ShamsCharania Right so you (random fan of the sport) know more than, Evan Turner (knows both of the guys personally and was at the event), Scal (close part of the Celtics Media), Ryan Matthews (trusted media member) and the Boston Herald? Sure buddy, enjoy living in your delusion.
@Conor_Myles_68@RealTaIkWithMJ1 Holy mother of god you have brain damage. Yes the last 9 years have something to do with how good he is today 🤣🤦♂️. They show multiple All-NBA selections and he’s 30, he’s in his prime, so there isn’t going to be any physical decline. I cant take YOU seriously. YDKB son.
@Conor_Myles_68@RealTaIkWithMJ1 Because you are a casual and you can’t comprehend basic statistics. Defense is more important than any other part of the game. Tony Allen made a 15 year career off playing defense, he couldn’t hit a 3 and could barely make wide open layups.
@Conor_Myles_68@RealTaIkWithMJ1 You have a 10 game sample size to claim Ajay and Harper are better versus a 9 year body of work showing that they aren’t. I’m not saying you’re wrong I’m just saying there isn’t enough evidence to even attempt this argument yet.
