It’s gonna be Cavs/Thunder


If it is, 2 teams that started their rebuild after us, I'm going to be feeling things watching that...


Cavs also made a big move after getting their stud PG in Garland who can actually make plays.

Magic hold on to all their pieces lol

Relatively this has been a decent 3 point shooting night for us

It is amusing to see how little Celtics care about mid range shot defense.
They just allow Franz and Paolo to shoot themself and team in foot by exchanging long 2s for 3s they take.

I can’t be too mad about this. At the end of the day we don’t have Suggs to deal with their guards or MoWag to score off the bench. Mo alone would torch their bench bigs.

derrick white killed us.....most of the time he waited for that moment when we would switch for him to pull up from 3 and he was hitting.....if we're not going to defend it better then we just got to hope for a game where they miss a lot

I get Cole has been terrible but I would almost start him over Joseph next game. Need more of a scoring threat. We need to take a risk and it may pay off, yes I doubt it though

Oo and Franz is leaps and bounds better then mike dunleavy jr..
Basicly a 25-5-5 guy also been a TOP defender at 6-10 is a MAX player on any NBA team

Anyone can put up 24-5-5 in today's league


This is just not true wtf.

I wish we had a roster full of 24/5/5

Nah, he’ll get more time as he regains his confidence. Getting back to home court will be huge for a bunch of our guys, like last post season.

Man, I know coach Mose has had this mantra of "we are enough" or whta not, but in this series, we just actually don't have enough guys who can produce/create offensively. Ofc we know this. Hopefully our role players go nuts at home.

Defended Tatum and Brown well but others went crazy shooting threes.

Boston r the best team in the league

Paolo is the best player on the floor
Wagner is doing very well against Tatum

We r just too short handed, we miss Moe and suggs badly

Suggs, AB, Tyus, Jase
Bane, AB, TDS , Jett
Franz, TDS, Panda
P5, JI, Panda, Moe
Wcj, Goga, Moe

After Paolos first year it should have been imminent to get players around him.

They have not at all.

Actually the complete opposite.
