Ice cold and no Trae in the building...or Middleton...Jimmy ducking too. Lucky he didn't play or it's another game we would've lost.

Nice professional win. You'd think it would get boring, but it doesn't.

JB, Derrick excellent...but let's face it, this is all about PP and the Kornet Blockade aka The Bamboozler.

PP the best bargain #1 option in the league.

Great thread!
Thanks!

PP and Brown for me
Kornet was great
Peterson is a player. Keep him in the rotation and let the old and injured rest

Jrue will get Wally Pipped at least in the closing lineup if Pritchard continues this hot streak. You won't be able to justify keeping Pritchard off the floor. This team is so much better to watch when White is playing as well. More White and Pritchard on the ball = blowout wins. Both of their improved shot making makes this team pretty close to KD Warriors dominant with a healthy Porzingis. The Jays just need to play their games and it's hard to see any team getting more than 2 wins in a series.

Can we give Peterson JW's contract, and send Walsh to Europe with Walker lol

Kornet is the BAM-STOPPER! Luke against Bam is starting to look how Jason Collins stuck around year after year because he could standup prime Dwight Howard.

Lakers and Lebron getting waxed by the Wolves is the icing on a very satisfying cake.

Great games from Payton Pritchard and Jaylen Brown. Solid games from Derrick White and Neemias Queta. Meaningful games from
Kornet, Tatum and a VERY NICE COMING OUT PARTY FOR DREW PETERSON. Overall a team win despite missing Porzingis, Horford and Holiday. Very nice to cruise to a win with 3 of the Top 8 out.

An Alternative Perspective:

Pts. + Rebounds + (0.5 x Assists) + Steals + (0.5 x Blocks) - Missed Field Goals - (0.5 x Missed Free Throws) - Turnovers - (0.5 x Fouls)

+26 Payton Pritchard 33 minutes
+22.5 Jaylen Brown 31 minutes


+18 Derrick White 31 minutes

+11 Luke Kornet 27 minutes
+11 Jayson Tatum 36 minutes
+10.5 Drew Peterson 23 minutes
+9 Neemias Queta 15 minutes
+1 JD Davison 1 minute

+0.5 Xavier Tillman 10 minutes
+0.5 Jordan Walsh 13 minutes
0 Jaden Springer less than 1 minute
-1 Baylor Scheierman 10 minutes

Team Total = 109

I am more impressed with Pritchard's defensive improvement than anything. That is going to keep him on the floor when the shot isn't falling.

I liked the part where they killed the Heat. Kornet picking up where he left off in game 5 of the Miami series. He had Bam all messed up. Glad to see the young guys get minutes.

Voted JB and PP. Shout-out to Kornet and the rest of SRG (which is one of the unimaginative/uncreative nicknames a bench unit can have). Props to JT trying to play every game but he shoulda just sat (and I would've whined had we lost).

The Heat about to fade into irrevelancy if they're not yet there already.

Cs held the Heat to 40.2% effective FG%. That's our best defensive eFG% this season and the Heat's worst eFG%.

via Taylor Snow:

The Celtics have held Miami under 90 points in four straight matchups.

Absurd in today's game.

via Jared Weiss:

Payton Pritchard asked if he talked trash to Erik Spoelstra: ā€œI’m sure I said something. Honestly, I black out in those moments at times.ā€

via Jack Simone:

Joe Mazzulla on Drew Peterson: "To me, he's done a great job, one, he plays with a level of confidence, and two, I always like guys who are a better defender than people think."

This game featured 4 members of the recent US Olympic team -- all of whom were outplayed by some other Americans on the floor.

Comfortable win, no stress no drama. Time to rest now.
