Pritchard and Simons both had a great half. Keep it up!

Speed it up.


I thought he was good. Kept the team afloat when Brown and Pritchard were sitting.

It's tough when the defense doesn't care about the big man. They're daring Simons to pass to Tilman and are happy to live with the results from there. Cavs are smart to employ that strategy. Tilman is no threat with the ball.

I think long term if we keep him, I like the idea of Pritchard and White playing the lion's share of the mins at PG. Both can handle the ball. Both make good decisions with the ball and make quick reads - they don't hold onto it.

Simons is better as a secondary ball handler..or as like an emergency PG if White/Pritchard are both off the floor..When Tatum comes back, he can bring the ball up the floor sometimes too but I like Tatum playing off ball more as a traditional wing/forward type..posting up..operating out of the elbows, attacking in iso situations on the wing, etc.
Nothing wrong with having a different opinion - as long as it's done respectfully. It'd be lame if we all agreed on everything :)

11 turnovers in the first half led by Jaylen with 4. Take care of the ball in the second half and we have a chance to steal this one!

I wouldn't mind keeping him. But that salary this year is just way too high.
If we can't Trade him to get some Cap Relief, then I'd go much cheaper on his next Contract.

Why are the Celtics letting Mobley have wide open 3's?

Mitchell's 6' 10" wingspan allowed that interception of Walsh's pass to Pritch.

Walsh with 4 turnover as a role player is rough.

He's making some rough passes now that he's involved more in the offense. He needs to slow down and make better reads, but it's still progress.

Yeah. He needs to take a split second more to think.

Celtics up 18, on a Back-to-Back.

Just don't give it away.
