They did play this Toronto team a couple days ago lol.
Scored 96, about 20 points below the league average.

Toronto has quit tonight right from the start


It's basically their version of Marshawn Lynch's "I'm here so I don't get fined."

Celtics will be a problem come playoff (PLAYOFFS???? PLAYOFFS?!?!?!?!?) time. I like them. A lot. No 21 Savage.

I agree one reason why I keep trying to promote Sam howza even when he doesn't make his shots which happens sometimes hes always going to be a threat..

if this score holds up, we'll see plenty of JD/kabengele/Champagnie minutes in the 2nd half.

hell, this game means nothing so we should see plenty of them in the 2nd half either way lol.
Nothing wrong with having a different opinion - as long as it's done respectfully. It'd be lame if we all agreed on everything :)

I feel as if it's a system issue. They've relied so heavily on transition over the years that they have no idea how to play in the half court against a good defense

A lot of Turnovers by the Celtics, huh?
These guys (lineups) not used to playing together.

If Sam gets tons of consistent playing time, he will be automatic from 3. You won’t get that without consistent mins. Plus he fits well with Jt.

I'm sure we have scored but it seems like we have never scored on the 1st possession in the 2 for 1 situation..

I think it's because we have been playing at a fast pace we have a ton of assist and a ton of turnovers to meet that is all about pace.

Very rare. It’s almost always a rushed pullup three.

Yep, Warriors syndrome. I don’t mind the passing turnovers.

I never understood why we can't attack the rim quickly versus that pull up 3..

Interior defense has been special today. Rob makes a ton of difference.

They both should be.

We can suit up 15 guys. Gallo, JB, Smart and Brogdon are out so JD and Kabengele should both be suited up. Our g league season is over now..

I'm actually p***** at Larry Bird cause I remember when he had 29.9.. It's like he literally didn't care about any individual stats..
