As much as I hate to see it, I love the Brogdon pickup for Boston.

I hope he sucks though rofl


It should be a great fit. Smart isn’t the scoring threat Brogdon can be, so his playmaking becomes limited and GS just forced him and White to be scorers. Likely can’t do that against a shooter like Brogdon.

I don’t think he’ll suck since he is heading into a scenario where he should be able to play more freely, but no doubt that it could fail miserably if he and Smart don’t figure it out quick…I think Smart just wants to win now though, so I am not too concerned.

Still need a legit backup C.

Brogdon as a scorer and playmaker > Smart

Not a bad defender either, just not ideal for him to defend smaller/quicker point guards that are good at creating their own shot because he lacks turn speed. He's good defending bigger 2's or wings though. Either way, he fits relatively well into their defensive approach with being versatile.

I know he will be coming off the bench, but I would imagine the Celtics will go to a lineup of Smart/Brogdon/Brown/Tatum/Williams (or Horford instead of Williams) especially late in the game.

Not a bad pickup. He's still a high level rebounder and can defend the rim.

Not great against the pick and roll though, a little too slow these days and that seems to be what teams need the most.

Brogdon was a decent pick up but he isn’t going to be this huge game changer & is not what the biggest problem for the Celtics is.. wanna know the biggest fucking problem for the Celtics next season?!

Giannis Bucks
Embiids Sixers
Himmy Butlers Heat
KD & Kyrie coming back in Bk.

The fucking East playoffs is about to be HELL boy. Good fucking luck thinking Brogdon is what puts you over the edge, games are gonna have to be fucking played an won one series, one game, one big shot at a time in the East.

West is a diff story. 😎 we know wassup.

Well we are already the favourites.

Lol without Middleton. I keep hearing that. We didn’t have Rob. Dysfunctional BKN? They’re suddenly going to become functional?
Kyrie and Simmons ego’s aren’t changing any time soon. BKN lost it as soon as Kyrie flipped off the Boston crowd
