he likes attention. He only plays well when everyone is paying attention. I have no idea if this is true, but it sounds right

**Signs apology form***

Game blew open each time when that Cole Anthony and AB backcourt took effect. Both played great minutes.

This is funny and likely true.

heck yeah. Write it in stone. Greatest magic player of all time! Showed up to put the beat down on the sub 500 Atlanta Hawks in the play in. The Celtics might as well forfeit the series to avoid embarrassment. Oh yeah green front implied

Hes a frustrating player for sure, and more often bad than good. But I'll always be a fan of the human being he is.

He was awesome today.

Anthony took several ill-advised threes in this game; that went in. I guess: any shot that splashes is a good shot. That's what Curry taught the league. (Sadly)

The problem with Anthony's selfish style of play is that if his shot is not falling, it was not a good shot. And he is too streaky a shooter to play Curry-ball. In my opinion.

Everyone can look like Steph when shots go in :lol:

Hope he rises his trade value so we can upgrade our guard positions in summer!

If Cole was consistent and reliable the look for this team would be different but I’m not deluding myself into thinking he figured it out. This is Cole, consistently inconsistent. Props on probably his best career game.

THAT Cole is exactly the Lead Guard we could really use...we just need one that can do it at least 2/3 of the time....back to Sexton, Simons, Coby, etc

I'd love to be wrong and see Cole have some kind of "awakening" and flick a switch that unlocks consistency....Clearly, the skill and talent are there, along with the physical attributes and fierce competitiveness. Been too many years though - to be expecting that. Again - prove me wrong and I'll :D

Those ‘ill-advised threes’ is modern NBA basketball unfortunately… the problem is that his shooting percentages don’t call for him to be taking them so often. Wish we had one guy that could shoot those type of shots at an above average clip. What a difference it makes.

Ah yes, Cole from 2 years ago before his injury showed up.

If there was ever a time for him to become hot however. Please have it be in the playoffs. Same with Black.

He suffers from time to time.... from the same issue that I have with Paolo and franz.... they feel like they can make every bucket... and sometimes does not make the right plays... just with less talent. In this game though.... he was well balanced.... picked his spots while getting other involved.

As the receivers of a pass.... i would be more energetic and strong to make a move IF... i know me being in the right place the passer will get me the ball. It's like watching Trae and his bigs.... "I give a solid screen.... I roll hard.... man is a step late... I KNOW there is a high chance that Trae will hit me"

And all that takes time as Paolo and Franz and cole grow as playmakers.

But yup... when everyone is ENGAGED.... this is a totally different team. Engagement brings life to the team.

If someone said that Paolo and Franz combined for 30 points.... they would have not assumed that we would have won that play-in game by 25 points. lol
