Tatum's duck might be one of the most impressive. I have seen him do in forever.. And before I can finish this post. He hits a 3 so once again. I called it perfectly.
2 things need to go.. my lack of spell check and Joe.. :nod:

Meanwhile, JB keeps taking it into traffic with blinders on.

How you do it. Draw extra defender, kick. Good job JB.

I did say that was going to happen in this thread. Or another..

Boston plays tooo unmotivated Too many times to have fans interested as much as they should.

Still don't get the Kornet hate. Or the disgust for the Al-Luke pairing.

Luke as the secondary defender is very good.

Guess this is what Joe is envisioning for the double big.

The paint is just tough to score on if the Cs have a double big.

Kornet and Jaylen being excellent so far

Loving the defence and ball trapping we are giving the Knicks so far.

JB making tough shots is good. Him needing/having to take them, not so much. Get that ball moving.

It's always a happy time when the Celtics are mangling the Knicks...

League really trending towards the double big.

Maybe that's why Dallas did the Luka trade.

Even last game OKC started both Chet and Hartenstein.
