Also, while he can't shoot, I like Brissett, feels like he's usually a positive for us when he's on

Five-way tie for the VC tonight between Brown/White/KP/PP and Jrue. All guys showed up, played their game, and the c's rolled. C's had FIVE players score 20+.

Going to have to watch the ankle situation going forward. KP rolled his pretty badly, stayed in the game, but ankles often stiffen up after the first game finishes. Between him and Tatum its possible they miss a few more games.

Derick White meanwhile is on an insane heater. Just ever three he takes goes in. I don't know if people remember this but shooting was his WEAKNESS when the c's acquired him.

Shoutout to JB, who's playing really well as a facilitator. Since the B2B 0 assist games Brown has 36 assists vs 18 turnovers in 7 games. Very consistent passing and game control from him the lats few weeks.

If the Cs played GSW today, Steph would be on the bench in the 4th qtr.

It would have been an early "night, night" for GSW.

BY far the most fun and best game of the year.

Edit.. damn.. forgot about Jrue

You also forgot about Joe.

The coach produced 5 20-point scorers in this game!

He didn't, Stevens did !!

It's the right thing to do.

Players have families too.

Went with JB but could've gone in a bunch of different directions for VC. For CP, went with Jrue for the complete all around game at both ends. Honestly coulda gona team or KP. Just a nice professional win to wash the bad taste out from last night. Glad to have KP back on the court. It's amazing just how much everything is better when KP plays. We must do EVERYTHING possible to make sure he's as healthy as can be when the playoffs hit. He is the difference-maker.

Stevens lost the locker room.

Brad failed as a coach.

The key is for Brissett not to stand out on the 3 point line. Then teams will just leave him open and let him shoot. It seems like he kept cutting and going to the rim on shot attempts and getting RBs. That is what he can do well.

Some of you guys refuse to give Joe credit when it's the coach who made sure the Cs were ready to play today after that devastating loss yesterday.

The coach was also responsible for making the substitutions that resulted in 5 players scoring 20 points or more.

If D'Antoni or Nash was the coach of this Celtics team, this Celtics team would not be as good.

KP an absolute monster. Totally owned the game in the third quarter. Then did a postgame interview where he cleverly downplayed the value of shooting endless threes with no conscience.

Jaylen only took three threes. Made another couple of nice passes you wouldn't expect. And he really has something against the rim this year. Going in hard and often.

White is a monster even if he's not a top-100 player. We need to find him more shots.

First quarter was nuts. The shooting on both sides!

Bubble wrap?? or start Queta and put KP on Ice until May??

GOAT GM is Brad.

And the reason why he hired Joe is because Joe is his understudy.

When Ime was removed, Joe was not the ideal replacement, but Brad had a hidden agenda.
Brad wanted to win using Brad's system.
Joe is using Brad's system.

So when the Cs win a chip, it will vindicate Brad.

Simply put, Joe is Brad's guy.

Now you know why GSW has ZERO chance against the Cs if KP is healthy. :lol:

He'll probably miss playoff games no matter what we do. He's going to get banged around and something in his legs will knock him out for a few games. I think we have to plan for it.

Who smokes the big cigar?
