Bucks fan here is who SUPER SAD to see Jrue go. An integral part of our roster/one of the main reasons we won in 2021. That being said, if I'm the Bucks GM I make this move 10/10 times. It's time we shift our defensive focus to offensive. I wish Jrue all the best in the upcoming season - even if I don't wish the Celtics the same lol

[@I_love_burnt_toast]

Because of the unintended consequence of jrue going to Boston, this will go down as the worse trade in nba history. Boston was better than the bucks before they got porzingis, they became even better than the bucks after they traded jrue and allen for Lillard. Boston became no match for the bucks after jrue went to the bucks. Letting the inmates run the asylum is never a good idea. Giannis is to blame for how impossible it will be to win a ring in the next 2 years at least.

I'm a big Jrue Holiday fan, but he needs to be consistent on the offensive end in the playoffs and KP must stay healthy all throughout the season because other than Al Horford that frontcourt depth is looking thin.

[@rnuke_rocket]

@@Edd-zd5wb you had me there for a while, bro lol

[@bpdmf2798]

Boston has been thin up front for like 10 years. KP is an upgrade over Rob, and they both have injury issues. It's pretty much a clear upgrade though, they'll play some no name guy a lot of regular season minutes and Al/KP will get the bulk of the playoff minutes. Celtics are a very similar team minus Brogdon but upgraded Smart and Rob into Jrue and KP. They'll be similar in the regular season as the last couple years, but in the playoffs when the rotation tightens (and Brogdon/Rob missed a lot of time) they'll be better than they were, especially including another year into the primes of the Jays so those 2 should be slightly more efficient and their numbers should go sightly up like most star players do in their mid 20s. The Celtics will be better and that's saying a lot about a team that has won a ton of playoff series over the last 5 years and last season won 5 straight elimination games. I don't think many people are doubting they'll be a juggernaut if health prevails and even with some injuries they are dangerous.

[@riffsthatkill2180]

With the defense focused on Tatum, Brown, and (maybe) KP,, Jrue is going to have plenty of open shots and won't be defended like he's the 2nd scoring option anymore.

[@Cjballin8]

The hidden part of all this is opening up minutes for Pritchard. Guy can play but was always trapped under veterans. Now with only White and Holiday, Pritchard should get more minutes. Celtics may need to add an additional wing or big off the bench, but all things considered the roster is substantially more talented with Jrue and KP.

[@bballbreakdown]

I sincerely hope so! He deserves a legit shot

[@davighidetti8947]

Just need a decent big on the bench for a backup role in the regular season

[@Joshua-qc1li]

They got no depth that’s what worries me. The people who guarded Embiid and Giannis aren’t there anymore. Because the Celtics had Horford doubling those guys with grant or Rob Williams or they made it look like they were going to play help defense and that caused Giannis and Embiid to mess up but they don’t got those guys who were capable of that. Kristaps is a good shot blocker but not a good defender. He is good rebounder. Guys like Jokic, Embiid, KD, Bron will have their way with him. But if kristaps does get injured. The Celtics season is over because Horford will be moved to the 5, Tatum at the 4, Brown at the 3, white at the 2 and jrue at the 1. They have no true big man stopper

I’m going to miss Williams on the Celtics and so are they. When he comes down the stretch.

[@funkypeach8082]

I guess maybe one helpful aspect speaking on Jrue being more turnover prone than Smart last season is that his role with the ball likely differentiates on this squad as well as more ball handlers existing on this offense leaves more room to play off ball and avoid the turnovers frequently with the ball out of his hands more. Just maybe it'll allow him to play a but "smart"-er with the options on the team.

He might be an amazing defender but he's not a lead guard and his field goal percentage and 3 point percentage plummets in the playoffs. Celtics are also very thin on the front line with the oft injured Porzingis and Horford being their only bigs to chase Giannis and Embiid around.

[@WVandellHarris]

This take has become the most repeated thing I’ve heard……. Porzingis AND Holiday are on different teams now with different teammates and situations. Celtics have beaten both the Bucks and Philly repeatedly…. No I’ll be back here this summer saying bye bye to both Giannis and Embiid after they’re bounced out the players as always…… keep hoping for porzingis to get injured and holiday to shoot poorly in the playoffs.

Celtics still have a lot of assets to trade for if they determine that they need another big. - "Porzingis will be injured" He played more games than Dame the past 3 seasons. Remember he sit out a lot too as the Wizards are half-tanking. And his out games are due to just being sick last season. This part just have luck involved. Even the healthiest stars in the league are getting injured. - "Porzingis is not a good defender" He's one of the top 5-10 rim protectors last year. And if Chicago can be an elite defense with Vucevic, why not KP when he's surrounded by Jrue, White, Tatum and Brown on the perimeter? - "They have no depth" they have 5 players that can give you 20 plus points a night. Just make sure you have 2 out of the Jays, KP, Jrue and White with the bench then they'll be fine. - "Holiday is a brickshow in the playoffs" its not his job to be a 2nd option here. He's probably 4th option now. Remember that Malcolm, White, and Al had their career shooting years in Boston and its not a coincidence if Jrue does the same. - "Mazzulla sucks, he don't call timeouts" Armed with lessons, preparation and staff that not have ties with Ime, I'm expecting an improved coach right now. No team is perfect and never will be, but with some thinking, Celtics is the most balanced team right now in the league, offensively and defensively.

Milwaukee will regret this just like they did when they didn’t bring back PJ Tucker. Both of them were X factors for their championship run. Yes Giannis went nuclear in the finals but don’t overlook what Jrue and PJ Tucker did during that run.

[@deandrepage1048]

Interior defense gonna be trash without Robert Williams.

[@asid448]

For 35 games per season...

[@nomercyinc6783]

if tatum and brown couldnt holiday isnt even remotely as good as them so no, singular player signings dont magically improve any team. shit on paper doesnt matter when it matters on the court

[@stephenbaluran3298]

I think a lot of Jrue's turnover and shooting woes in the playoffs were due to Giannis panicking in the clutch. He has more options with this team.

[@youngcity4241]

Lmfaooo will see

[@lazzi2462]

Lol. So in saying that, you're basically saying Jrue's TO's & bad shooting only happened in crunch time? You must not have watched many of his games because his shooting was bad pretty much all game of every game of the Playoffs, not just in the clutch. Also, "Giannis panicking in the clutch", I bet you're only referring to the last series against the Heat lol, because he was not bad in the clutch the other two years while Jrue was in Milwaukee. Just listing his ppg in the 4th quarter & OT in the more notable series, 8ppg against the Nets in 2021, 8ppg against the Celtics in 2022, & 9ppg against the Suns in the Finals. Those are pretty good ppg numbers during the clutch time for someone who "panics". Lol

[@Mieslk2]

this take makes no sense. Jrue is the biggest panicker in the clutch out there. He blew games against the Warriors, Pacers, and Sixers last year with turnovers in the last minute or so

[@lukekiefer5964]

Jrue shoots like garbage in the playoffs, so much so that it negates anything he does on defense. And, as mentioned, in the half court he throws a lot of lazy/errant passes. That’s said, he’s an absolute lockdown defender, and should have won DPOY over Marcus Flop.

[@niqqaplease3458]

Yea I get it but he’s not going to have to score as he’s been doing in the past few years he’s a fourth option at best on a night to night basis

[@kyle7228]

Well he wont be asked to take off dribble 3s as much as he was in milwaukee. He legit taking over smart's shot volume, and good thing he has better decision making than smart does.

[@boozbottle]

@@kyle7228 That doesn't explain the drop off in the playoffs though. In the past 3 regular season he's 39.5% and it drops to 30.4% in the playoffs

[@codyking3825]

​@@boozbottleBecause he was relied upon to create points, being the second option behind Giannis. All we need him to do is hit his jumper, JB and JT will carry the load.

[@King-_Of-_Mars]

@@niqqaplease3458doesn’t matter what option he is if they start leaving him open and he can’t make them pay

[@RomeoBachatero]

Celtics should have won chip multiple times with all that talent that has gone thru there in the Tatum era..That said I still don't see them winning this year they lost depth & front court defense which will show it's ugly head in the playoffs..only positive is that they re signed arguably the best 2way players in the league with Brown & soon to resign Tatum

[@Petwayboy]

We need to go pick up dwight howard

[@dennisb57]

If Tatum and Brown dominate the basketball then we won’t win a title. The ball has to be in Holiday’s hand most of the time. As for turnovers check Tatum and Brown’s turnovers averages. Together these to guys turn the ball over a lot.

[@RJ-gk4rt]

Nah the ball needs to be in the best players hands, they just need to make improvements in their decision making and stop turning the ball over. They aren’t closing out games with the ball in Jrue’s hands, it’s up to JT and JB to make those improvements if they want to win a chip

[@rickyquanjr.8923]

Aawww yeah 🎶

[@atmosfear3056]

Celtics got better on defense in one position. They lost a bunch of defense on Williams Smart and Brogdon. How does this make them better overall? Jrue will do very well on offense but who will stop very agile bigs like Giannis or Embiid etc. Horford is old and KP isn’t a defensive beast. I see the Celtics weaker in many ways. In my opinion they are making this Jrue trade like a major signing and in all honesty… it’s really not. Jrue disappeared in the playoffs last year and he is not the same player of 3 years ago. Just saying. Either way this will be exiting to watch.

[@bballbreakdown]

It will be exciting to watch, and I share these concerns

[@ryablons8969]

Over the past years, Boston has beat 76ers, and Milwaukee reliably by letting embid and giannis go off and defending the three.. I’d be more worried about Dame honestly

[@glend5990]

Yes the Celtics tremendously better

[@ls88tube]

The team will have success if the team is not centered on Jayson Taytum because he is not a go to player.

[@sanyaolaleye8710]

Problem with the C's is their 2 stars do not generate enough gravity at the highest stage and their 2 man action isnt good enough for constant reads compared to giannis kris when healthy or murry jukic, this doesnt make title favourite they will compete for transformative.

[@bigmanballsassnuts3337]

yall were sleeping on neemias queta big time. most underrated pickup in the nba so far.

[@chrestiancapuli2221]

1:23 Really? Where lockdown defenders dont exist? stop biting the no defense in this era narrative. It doesnt help you're a coach yourself. You just named a few in this video alone. Smart, Dort, Jrue, Kawhi, Anunoby, Caruso just to name a few.. smh

[@jaysmooth4998]

Damn, yal really just don’t like the Celtics over here. Whole comment section doesn’t think we have a chance.

[@RittenhousesRifle]

Bucks fans and Celtics haters simply coping. Nothing more.
