Hauser with the CP.


I wouldn’t mind it. They forced it to him down low most of the first half dozen possessions to good results. Keep it going longer? See what happens. (I may or may not have him on a fantasy roster:)

He needed more shot attempts and plays called for him in crunch time, for sure.

Seriously, asking any of you. Have you EVER seen two players get called for six offensive fouls in one game?

Celtics/Tatum played sloppy as hell, but the game was never allowed to have any flow.


It’s just frustrating they let Memphis be so physical and we were getting ticky tack bogus calls.

The Celtics continue to struggle with physicality but if the refs are only going to play one side what do you expect I guess

That was a first for me. Now you have to tell me what was up with DW tonight?

Seriously though, no one is talking about that huge block by Zinger at the end of the game. If that shot had gone in, i don't think the Celtics would have won in OT.

Let’s discuss Rob WIlliams III first.
Then Steisma
Then Bill ;)

Honestly interested in seeing how KP’s block rate and fg% against rate compare to Rob’s though!

I’m good with him being the closer. Let Tatum and White play make and draw the attention but Porzingis over the last two was a killer in the clutch, and obviously the dagger in NY on opening night.

This Suns Jazz game is amazing. But not as amazing as the Grizz Cs game though.

Buzzer beater for double overtime!

A W is a W.

Joe sounds mad about the Tatum pass and Jrue blowing the dunk.

You win some. You lose some.

Then there's this, which doesn't feel like it fits in either category.

Yup gotta pick your poison. Have JT with the ball late and see how they cover him, if they double, just find the open guy.

Shouldn’t be rocket science.

Gotta give credit to JT for limiting his 3 ball attempts (after shooting 1/9 the last game) although only taking 1 three tonight might be a bit on the low side. JB, on the other hand, kept shooting them even though he was terrible all game.

I thought with Memphis being pretty much a g league team with so many guys out this is going to be an easy win for Boston and this game was going to be over in 2 hours.

Boy was I wrong. I thought Memphis played harder for a majority of the game. No style points for this one but I'll take a w.
*Insert witty signature here.*
