He ran his mouth. You know refs are soft. They won’t forget until at least next season.

They don’t like JT either :lol:

Really I have not noticed. Hopefully he can finish this game.

Yeah. He's been a little gingerly, at times.

27 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists is one hell of a half for Jaylen Brown. Queta 13 points and 11 rebounds. Good thing those guys played

I'm guessing Boston wont win enough games for Brown to get first team all NBA. Having an outstanding year. That and he will cost us at my top three freaking pick. :-? :(

To be fair, they both complain too much.

Pretty good half I guess.
Queta Solid. Brown best player in the building.

I’m one of few who doesn’t like extra hot first halves. It leaves little for the second half. I have been preaching this for years. Now we don’t have Tatum to get hot to carry the second half, hopefully someone will take it for JB and Hauser. Fingers crossed tho.

He'll likely make at least 3rd All-NBA.

At the rate he's going, JB's making 2nd Team, even if the Cs just win 45 games.

You don't win MVP if your team just wins 40+ games, but you can be an All-NBA Team selection.

I mean, Queta was not real good last year and we were competing for a title. We have more room to develop guys

Queta just didn't get a chance last season because he was behind KP, Al, and Luke.
But back in December, 2023, I predicted Queta would eventually become a starter.
Al and Rob were injured and Queta had a great stretch in that span.

The crazy thing about JB's 27 is that only 1 point has come from the charity stripe. That's nuts.

I really wish the NBA would do something about the foul merchants. It's such a better product when FT's are held to a minimum. It can be a beautiful game sometimes or just a straight slog to watch and for me a lot of it comes down to pace of play and continuity of the game. Tired of so many ticky tack and-1's. I'd rather everybody get the whistle JB is getting tonight (or lack of whistle rather).
