Kp has let so many rebounds go.

[Shak_Celts]

Bloody not beaten!

[Bill Lumbergh]

Jeez, that looked like it hurt like a bastard.

I love KP's attitude.

[playa-hater]

Does that apply to the playoffs too?

If so, whose minutes would you give him?
If not, then it's a reasonable choice for Joe to play exactly the playoff guys tonight.

He doesn't have enough experience for the playoffs. But the point is what if there is an injury. Wouldn't it be nice that he gets some experience in these meaningless games?

All else being equal, sure. But perhaps Joe thinks giving the regulars another runthrough is more important.

And note that it wouldn't be just one injury. In fact, what combination of two injuries would bring Baylor (or alternatively Torrey Craig) in? Both Jays? Probably. Tatum and Jrue? Ditto. Who else?

I presume Baylor will get a lot of minutes in the last couple games of the season.

If either sam Hauser goes out or payton pritchard, i guess you can just cut the rotation down. But I don't think you can just forget about using a perimeter player. By using luke cornet instead.

Seriously, I cant tell you how many times, I pull up the box score after a game and it's Tatum 2-9 3PTA, or 1-7 or 3-11 or whatever ... seems like a regular occurence lately

Tatum can’t hit anything from 3 lately..

I don’t know if that’s true, but that means he’s kicking behind on 2s because he’s been on one! Thank you tat!! If he gets the 3 going teams may have to file charges!

Don't tell me how to explain it, but we've won more when Tatum takes at least 10 threes in a game during Mazzulla era.

10+: 84.7% (98 games)
< 10: 63.9% (119 games)

Sweet dime by JB to Luke.

[Shak_Celts]

We can’t stop anybody atp

[Bill Lumbergh]

Not Sam's night. Play Baylor.

[ConstableGeneva]

DWhite is a hoot.

[Bill Lumbergh]

Best JB pass I've ever seen.

[ConstableGeneva]

Come on Luke, gotta make that one.

[Shak_Celts]

We just need to settle down

[Shak_Celts]

Hit the fts and you’ll be OK!

[playa-hater]

Say what you want about Luke.. He is definitely entertaining at minimum.

[ConstableGeneva]

At least Luke's parents are enjoying this.

[Shak_Celts]

Go slap to h

[doogie_hauser]

Hate it when we play at home, get a big lead and the players start thinking they are the Harlem Globetrotters. It's complacent and extremely annoying to watch and potentially costly

I don’t have a problem with him taking them I just want them to go in

[ConstableGeneva]

Didn't know Luke's mom is a TV news anchor and that he used to blog about Catholic churches he visits during road games.

[Bill Lumbergh]

He's just consistently productive at this point.
