Can we ever do anything besides a Tatum ISO to close quarters?

Dude’s been a lot better at not letting the opponent go on an extended run.

Exactly the point a lot of us were making. Calls a timeout, gets Hauser a wide open 3 and gets the team right back in rhythm. If he does that against the Cavs then the Celtics win that game going away. If he does it in the postseason, were raising a banner

Moves his feet well anticipates.Well ..long enough arms to block some shots.. and looks pretty mean doing it..

So that's win win win for me..

If he can ever learn to shoot as good as Al then wow..

I mean, does anyone think that's a serious possibility? Beyond defense this team is flawed across the board.

You can't tell me the Suns offense is bad.

Offense = Great

Defense = Bad

Simple!

Enjoy what we have right now because time flies and before we know it, it's back to like the Jared Sullinger-Phil Pressey era.

Return to Boston Celtics
