Knowing Carlisle things will be different on Monday

Cs doing a better job, this season, hunting for mismatches.

From what I saw from the Pacers this season, they're not going to double because one of their strengths is not giving up 3pt shots.

So if the Jays want to score inside the paint, it will always be there.

Am I the only one who's noticed how much hate we get from the NBA Top 10's (and 5's)? Someone tell me what's wrong with this picture...

Nasty, plays-with-an-edge Tatum has reared his head twice in the last few games.

This is very promising.

Regarding the frustrating parts...

First Nesmith rudely tried to rip KP's eye out of the socket 5 minutes into the game.

Then at halftime the C's had shot 0 free throws, and the Pacers had been to the line so much that White, Tatum and Hauser were all in foul trouble.

Then we finally got some calls but we couldn't make free throws. Like multiple Celtics went to the line and missed both lol.

And other frustrations but we won so I'll stop complaining about it haha.

“They are a good defensive team,” Haliburton told reporters in Indiana. “They got a lot of different guys who can defend. They are probably the best defensive team in the NBA, I don’t know what the numbers say.”

“They got a lot of long wings. D White and Jrue are probably two of the best on-ball guys in the league. They have long wings flying around and stuff. It’s a good defensive team, good challenge. Look forward to playing them on Monday.”

"long wings flying around and stuff"

Keep giving minutes to Brissett 8-)
Nothing wrong with having a different opinion - as long as it's done respectfully. It'd be lame if we all agreed on everything :)

Nesmith is annoying in a Smart kinda way when he’s not on your team. But we’d all love him if he was still here. Lots still do.

Yes, the hate for Nesmith is ridiculous. I'd love for him to return home one day.


Nope. I couldn't stand watching Nesmith run around like a chicken with his head cut off when he was with the Celtics. It's confusing to me why anyone would want him back in green.

Return to Boston Celtics
