"I have never seen KD defended this well"- SVG

Apparently he missed half his series before he joined Curry and became the defenses secondary focus.

That aside, hell of a game in Boston tonight. Fans are bringing it in these series.

Are they really playing Drummond in crunch time?
Comments to rationalize bad contracts -
1) It's less than the MLE
2) He can be traded later
3) It's only __% of the cap
4) The cap is going up
5) It's only __ years
6) He's a good mentor/locker room guy

Celtics need to put their foot on the Nets throat here. They aren't capitalizing on the Nets meltdown.

But but but, he can pull up from THUUUURTY. Iso Scoring is all that matter, that’s why KD is the GOAT.



I mean the intensity these 2 teams are playing with in trying to take the key stars out of the game is amazing. Brown managed to get some points in the 4th playing hero ball and outmuscling the nets but all of Tatum, Durand, Kyrie and Tatum have played like shite in offense.

So when KD, Kyrie, Lebron and Carmelo team up for 1 last championship run, who will be blamed for the failure?

Jayson Tatum has truly taken the next step as a player. Great playmaking.
