White’s difficult 3pt shooting talent has to be top 5.

What difference a game makes as I think PP is shut out in this contest.

Both the Lakers and GS seem to be back...


Lakers and GS are not nba finals team. No way. Lebron should checked for that juice.

White looking like our 2nd best player means we’re unstoppable. Loving Jrue’s physical game on both ends. Jrue/White are the perfect playoff guard compliments.

I feel like White was being ignored on offense earlier in the game mainly by KP not making the extra pass. Get white involved more! Also no reason for him not to be in the lineup with Tatum and the bench. PP looked awful today so there should be another one of white/Jrue in there.

Never rule out a motivated Doncic. He's already taken a team to the Finals and kills OKC ..

I’ve said this all season but White is the perfect 2c option behind KP 2a and Brown 2b. The Celtics’ strength are their entire starting 5.

Basically beat the Knicks twice in the same game. Let's not make it 3 tomes in 1 game

True, they lost to the Cavs by 30+...
Good assessment:
