I've been singing this tune for a while and the shame of it is when Brissett actually showed a solid first half.

Even more so when you consider Toronto went small..

I worry that with the way Joe likes this KP-Luke double big, that he might actually go to it in the playoffs.

Tatum woke up and dominated the 3rd. Double bigs actually got us back in the game. But NOT the Al-KP pairing. Shoutout to Luke lol.

JT put on a show in the last 4 minutes and the Celtics end up winning the 3rd qtr.

So much for 3rd qtr. woes.

Really feels like Tatum is pacing this regular season even with his numbers looking good. Still would like better shot selections at the end of quarters. Don’t understand why it’s strictly iso three

Rest JT for 4 minutes then put him back in to finish off the Raps.

Nice response once they attacked the rim defense challenged interior, but of course topped with the rotted cherry 3pt heave to end the quarter

Those iso 3s will come in handy in the playoffs and finals.

Kyrie won a ring with that iso 3 in Game 7 of the 2016 Finals.

Good help D by Al on that scottie barnes iso attack.

Al's defense this season has been freaking awesome, man.

He legit has an all-defense team case at age 37.
Nothing wrong with having a different opinion - as long as it's done respectfully. It'd be lame if we all agreed on everything :)
