Pep and the Boston Celtics

[burning blue soul]

It does make me wonder whether Pep can actually sit down somewhere and simply relax!

He may be sitting and looking relaxed but his mind will be moving players around like chess pieces

There was an Athletic article a few months ago about how the Celtics head coach is a big admirer of Pep. I attached parts of the article that talk about Pep here. Super interesting.

And the end of the article…really cool how important it was for him to see City in person.

thats cool but the celtics brand of ball is really gimmicky, 5 out, shoot a lot of threes, the only thing thats even slightly related to guardiola is the attention put on the defensive transitions.

Doncic and kyrie's games are much more pep like but the nba is a bit of a turd product nowadays, whoever is hitting more threes wins. yaay, theres little nuance besides a couple of teams like the nuggets and golden state, they are way more pep like

Clearly I don’t know anything about basketball strategy (my kids play but at their age they’re just beginning more sophisticated systems)- I’m just impressed when anyone in the US appreciates football!

(Im usually asleep when basketball is on here - that’s why the PL is better for me!)

I’m watching this game. Not sure why as I have no real interest in basketball!…

It makes sense to have a team with the best 3 point throwers and create the extra time for them to be able to aim.

If attacks end up with 7/10 3 point successes against 9/10 2 point successes, then you’re winning 21-18.

Im a bit of an old head basketball wise, lakers fan since shaq and kobe. Im some ways organized youth basketball is more sophisticated than the nba today since the kids cant shoot as well. Too much reliance on 3 pointers for my taste, it used to be seen as a gimmicky shot, now its the meat and potatoes of the game.

Pep should get into american football, its a basically a game of chess, he would love it i think.

The only North American sport I watch sometimes is Hockey, used to watch NBA but I just don't find it interesting these days.
