The Celtics are playing hard and you guys are competitive.

Rough first half for Jalen except for the rebounding and defense. He's not really the type of player right now that is comfortable going one on one.. that's where more of his pass first nature shows. But he can have fun working on that. He needs to work on his strength and hit the weight room hard which I don't see being an issue. But the intangibles are through the roof and I'm looking forward to what he does at the end of this game because I think it'll close.

We actually attack the mismatches? I'm really glad Clifford is gone.

Cole Anthony is feeling himself. Dude is being allowed to attack the rim and has shown a massive improved shooting stroke so far.

Crazy when you have an actual coach and not Thanos pretending to be a human.

We're actually attacking other team's weaknesses/playing matchups instead of forcing bully-ball regardless of the defenders... I'm... so... HAPPY!!!!

They've run very few plays. Very few actions period. Mostly simple DHO's and isolations.

Great hustle by Bamba to throw it off and save the possession.

Bamba still looks like he needs a hug after every play. But he's playing a lot better, so I'll take it.
