BOS favored by 10 1/2. Porzingis making season debut.

Our boyz are bringing it. Take the points.

Sh*t just got real. He'll probably will be on minutes restriction though

Horford and Kornet are doubtful, they might need Porz

This should be a good game. Defense brings the best offense against Boston. We might have to watch Harden though as he seemed to pull his back a little on the last drive last night.

Porzingas makes his return tonight

Kai Jones backup minutes or small ball?

Offense is stagnant. Harden shooting too early in the possession.

With Bamba resting on the b2b, Ty goes small, a sign he doesn't trust Kai, whose plus/minus is worst on the Clippers.

Kobe the better choice. Not that going small is working either...

Mann is getting lit up by Pritchard

Just gotta stay within striking distance and hope they cool off. But god I hate watching how Boston plays the game of basketball, ruins the game.

The prime Spurs are owed an apology by everyone who ever called them boring. This Celtics team is what boring basketball actually looks like. They're a one-trick pony that does nothing but spam threes all game. It works, but it's unwatchable.

Welp.....

Of course Porzingis comes back tonight.. and yeah, going about as bad as it can be..

Miss Kawhi and Powell's steadiness and their versatility against this team, especially.

If any team is capable of coming back into it, its this team.. but, yeah likely the end of it soon.

good start to the 2nd half..

Hit some threes with a few stops.. boom back in it : )

Almost 50 3's is ridiculous. I know the league has been trending up in 3's forever but this style of play is boring. What makes it worse is that it is working for them.

Silver can keep forcing new stupid gimmicks every year, but this right here is reason #1 why the NBA's ratings are tanking and he'll never address it. The worst part is that the only way to compete with teams like the Celtics is to become them and start chucking up 50+ threes every game yourself. There's no room for diversity in play style anymore because any style other than this one has a low mathematical ceiling.

The Celtics only won a title last year because of who they played. If they play a team that would run them off the 3, they'd lose. It's not a sustainable offense

And it literally is just a chuck fest. They don't really run sets

Forgive me, I couldn't watch the second half.
