Didn’t notice if he was perf from the field but he did get 19 pts and 13 dimes too. Hell of a game for a guy that looks like he should be working at dicks sporting goods with Danny Woodhead.

I actually feel like TJ is PP's floor. I am still hoping the ceiling is Mark Price. :D

Every time I tune in to another team's game, I wonder how is it that the Celtics have so many rotation players that lack basic basketball skills lol. Passing being first and foremost. Cutting or relocating to an open space is another.

Lol TJ is a good floor for pp or jj barea. I thought he reminded me of Chauncey but him being mark price gets me hot and bothered times 1000.

The answer would be STEVENS! The players don’t pass and cut to the basket because it’s not Brad’s offensive system. It’s been iso by two or three players, while the rest stand in the corner. it’s been like this for 3 seasons already, and i don’t expect any changes moving forward.

Donovan Mitchell took 34 shots! :o I thought he went hero ball late. They went away from what got them all these wins.


Sixers won on an egregious Embiid flop. League needs to fine him. Then, he brags about it on Twitter.

How are they even remotely similar players? You may as well compare Pritchard to Embiid.

Embiid got shoved by Gobert under the basket. Gobert extends his arm like that all the time, gets away with so much. I wish Theis got the same whistle as Gobert.

But yeah I guess Embiid sold it, as he should.

It was definitely a flop but he embarrassed Gobert might as well have been Theis guarding him prob would’ve fared better.

The offensive foul they called on Mitchell a play or two prior was worse imo Simmons held the **** out of Mitchell’s arm.

True, it's why I don't really care about defending Embiid at all. Just let him take his shots and do whatever, you aren't going to beat him with some stout defensively player. Put Kemba on him, what's the difference? Still gonna get 20 FTA and drop 40 pts. Gobert isn't really a strong post defender himself, his value is his length, not a good matchup against Embiid who just overpowers him.

Mitchell jacked 34 shots, so many stupid shots from him. The tech that ejected him was soft, but Utah wins if Mitchell isn't a dumbass with his shot selection. His team is shooting like 50% from three in the game and he's taking like 10 terrible midrange trash shots.

Yea the Mitchell chucking killed them down the stretch he wanted to put the team on his back and out duel Joel when he should’ve just kept finding bojan in the corner.

He had like 12-15 shots in that 4th quarter that’s not what’s been winning the jazz games.

I’m perfectly content with Joel getting his 40 and 20 as well he’s not great in pnr and his “drop” is lazy af. A few timely doubles here and there but otherwise just play them straight up.

so comparing 3 players with almost the same height, athletic ability, grit and toughness isn't remotely similar??? Are you trolling me?

Tj McConnell is one of the best defensive point guards in basketball with no jumpshot. I don't see much comparison besides being white guards.

is kyle anderson that slow or is he from the future slowing down for us to see him because I have no idea how he gets to the basket seemingly walking there like a grandpa?

exaggerate much? meanwhile "other than White" they have same size, similar toughness, BBIQ, athletic ability (both play under the rim) Price is all-time great shooter, while PP looks somewhere in between TJ and Price.

Perfect Floor-Ceiling comparison, thank you very much.

Didn't like the way Sac beat LAL yesterday, without Lebron. Hope they lose tonight playing Por. Still want H Barnes as the best fit minus a high price Tag.

Filler 1st and two 2nds I am hoping could get it done.

Wow I love Tatum and he is up there in clutch but Jimmy Butler to me has to be the most clutch player in the NBA anyone watching what hes doing right now on TV?
