The Celtics Need To Play Neemias Queta : Film Session

32 comments

1. Yes against teams like the Pacers he needs to be out there on the floor

2. I been calling his name since last year but Kermit the 🐸 hating ass only care about shooting 3pts not defense. Nah nik you tweeking we need him he our 2nd best rim protector and he better rebounder then KP and Al what does that tell u. Kornet is the weakest link. Queta didn’t get in till the 4th and he outplayed Luke Kornet and Al Horford

3. the goat shouldnt be getting 3 DNPs

4. Much functional than Kornet. Both don't shoot, but at least Queta is strong and tough.

5. If he'd been first off the bench, I dont think there would have been a 24 pt deficit to begin with. Queta's a perfect match for the Pacer's speed, and how undisciplined they are. I hope this outing earns him some more minutes. I do think the reason he doesnt see the floor is because he's a pretty significant step behind Kornet in operating inside the schemes – neither guy can shoot, but Kornet is spooky efficient and incredibly precise, despite being a pretty middling athlete, whereas Queta thrives in chaos bc of his speed, strength, and how he sees the game – seriously, he sees the air at the rim, and can move in the paint, better than anyone on the team. Queta is more individually productive, but Kornet facilitates the offense better, which I think matters a great deal to Mazzulla.

   Notable, though – the gap between Kornet and Queta on offense is MUCH smaller than it was last year. I certainly think we'll see Queta against the Pacers, the Grizz, and anyone else with a ton of movement in their offense. Great video, it's been fun knowing you'll make content on Queta anytime he shows out, I come looking for it.

6. I know people will say I'm crazy saying this, but the way Queta handles rebounds, not only deflecting them, but deflecting them to a team mate, reminds me of Russell. Go ahead call me crazy. This kid is golden.

7. I think he can really help the Celts in certain spots.

8. i think we're gonna need Queta and Walsh this season. Neemy gives us some physicality and explosiveness that you have to have against a physical, quick team like Indy.

9. I think the difference between him and Kornet is simply comfort. Kornet is still transitioning from a stretch 5 while Nemi is a true rim rolling paint patroller

10. I like how 7' 0" Queta grabs boards w/ authority instead of being 7'2" & weakly tapping to essentially anyone or out of bounds.

11. Hopefully this game earned him his minutes

12. If you’re going to take this sports blogging thing seriously, I would recommend taking a speech class young brother. Starting a video with yo yo yo, shows a lack of education. Couldn’t watch the rest of the video after that.

13. They need to play him over Tillman. So called X needs to get traded.

14. Yes indeed that coach mazulla is so blind not using Queta he just keep using the slow tillman and kornet what the……

15. 15/22 minutes ?

16. Queta definitely needs more playing time. Great Breakdown video.

17. Queta and Tillman remind me of when we still had Rob and Grant Williams. Their styles of play are so similar to those guys.

18. some thoughts (i been lowkey watching 4 awhile now)
    slow down man.. you talk sooo fast it's like tough to follow sometimes especially as a non-american
    you replay alot of same footage when u not even talking bout it then when u get to it, we watching same content why you get to talking about it.

    keep up the good work
    bless u and go celtics

19. Reminds me of a watered down Rob Williams III

20. Ive been saying this since early last season. His only issue is foul troubles

21. NEEMIAD QUETA IS THE LUKE CAGE OF THE DEFENSE JUSTICE LEAGUE… AND BRAD AND JOE WILL BRING HIM ALONG SLOWLY… BUT BY THE END OF THE SEASON THE N.B.A. WILL BE SAYING DAMN CELTICS HAVE ANOTHER WEAPON IN THE ROLLING ARSENAL OF THE BLACK BEAUTY AND GREEN SLIME DEFENSE!!!😮😮😮

22. The Celts have a lot of options. Thanks, Nik. Love the breakdowns.

23. 4:30, hey are you allowed to move on a screen if the defensive player makes contact and pushes/drags you?

24. Would like seeing Queta get more time during games when we are struggling a bit in the paint and of course with offensive rebounds. Luke does well with offensive rebounds but Queta just has some additional skills that are handy, like being a bigger lob threat

25. It’s crazy cuz we’re complimented for having 5 shooters on the floor for spacing. But this goes to show sometimes we need a physical more conventional 5 to just do the simple things

26. Tillman has been trash so far.

27. Would be interesting to see him get more game time with the starters. While he's a bit rough around the edges still, it feels like he has more potential upside than Kornet. No shade on Kornet – he's a decent role player.

28. Good 1, Q definitely did his thing

29. Remember Mazzulla do crazy things & let's say a bit unorthodox (like Stevens). Seems Mazzulla is trying different things & artificially making the games closer for the Celtics to practice different situations from games 2-5. He used a lot of Kornet to try certain things & trying the double bigs. Queta's passing & screen setting seems less effective than Kornet & skill set a bit different. He used Walsh as well. So I expect him to put these guys in for 12-15 mins a game eventually to get them real reps (not in garbage time).

30. I'll always say this. Queta with IQ and passing of Kornet is their starter. (without KP ofc). Kornet is not shooting 3s too, but he's screening ans passing up-top, drawing out the Big, makes him useable for Joe. Clearing up the lane for slashing and mid-range

31. Queta is a beast, in some matchups he's way better than Kornet

32. Bruh Celtics always finding somebody lmao
