Unless you are a reasonably good shooting seven footer, i like having someone near the basket for rebounding and vertical spacing. If Kornet shoots outside, whobrebounds?? Only PP

I'm not trying to run plays that pull Luke out of the paint and give him 3pt attempts. It's just when he's already on the perimeter to set a pick or whatever, gets the ball with no defender near him, and passes instead of taking the open shot. It's just odd to me, since he used to shoot and make 3s for other teams.

Celtics more active the last 2 games.

That's what been missing the last month or so.

Cs just seems faster and have more intensity the last 2 games.

Guess they were really just bored.

Kornet one of the best offensive rebounding bigs in the league, along with Queta. We have enough 3-pt shooters. Like those two chasing for O boards, before PP gets to them that is.
