The Celtics are showing why I'm not sold on them. They're a big fish in a small pond. Minnesota would stifle these guys.

Doesn't matter, cuz it isn't someone who should be able to hold him to those numbers.

A little bit of everyone, tbh. Mitchell, Strus, Okoro, LeVert, and even Mobley have all took turns on him.

Three point shooting has been the difference in this quarter. Cavs are 6 for 8, Boston has missed all their three point attempts

Not great.

Can we please not repeat the Hauser, Pritchard, Kornet experiment? It's clearly a liability against this squad.

Not challenging that third foul was a big mistake from Bickerstaff.
