I told y’all we should be traded Brown for Mitchell. And all of yall said no. That trade would’ve went through last year as well. Celtics weakness is still lack of dribble penetration and ball handling

Mitchell would have bounced the first chance he got. Hell the only reason Brown stayed is because the Celtics were able to make him the highest paid player in the game. If he doesn't make All NBA, we're talking about Jaylen playing for the Hawks or Heat right now.

Why would Mitchell bounce? Him and Tatum could run the league

Same reason he's going to end up bouncing from Cleveland, not a desirable destination. He's been linked to Miami for 2 years.

That's it JT! No egg hatching, just a decisive move

[zoyathedestroya]

Nice start. JT all the way at the rim. Pull Mobley out of the paint and it's a free layup.

[Dogen]

bingo. mitchell is way too comfortable. send someone in the game who is going to fight through screens like a pitbull and stay on his hip and make things difficult for him. he's doing whatever the **** he wants out there

This is a common occurance. White and Holiday are good defenders, but they can't stick with certain players all game.

Watching the WC games, I wonder how the Celtics will fare if the refs call the games like the other series. DAL/OKC is very intense. Wolves are playing great defense (until game 3). Indiana and NY has been a grind too. Celtics looking a bit too entitled for my liking, it's going tp catch up with them. They need someone to come in a rain on the Cav's three point parade.

It really is just Mitchell in that half. His teammates were 2/15 IINM.

True, but Mitchell can basically do it all by himself. If this turns into a mano-a-mano thing with JT in the second half, I don't like those odds. Mitchell gets ridiculously hot and is looking too free out there. I just wanna see Jaden fold him. Not hurt him, just fold him.

[MapleRed]

Finally Derrick White!

[VeryMuchWoke]

I think letting Mitchell try to carry them for an entire series is not a bad strategy

[BRUNiNHO91]

JT the big baller came out to play!!

[zoyathedestroya]

Finally White drops one.

[RB34]

Let’s go Celtics! Put the foot down!

[MapleRed]

We're cookin' now!

[PierceFan4ever]

What a **** start!!!

Tatum’s rebounding, whites aggression, brown moving. Lets **** goooooo

[Bar Fight]

Lets **** go

[Sweet Serenity]

Couldn’t have asked for a better start out of the half.

[tfmiii]

That's how to move!

[zoyathedestroya]

VERY GOOD. MORE.

[Bird84]

That's good basketball!

[RB34]

Ball movement! Buckets!

[Dogen]

Nice start to the third! Celtics style of ball.

[Memokerobi]

Hell yeah! Good basketball
