Boston is struggling to overcome that abysmal first half.

Tatum **** sucks. 6'10" and the only shot he can reliably get is a pull up 3.

With all the weapons we have on the court why has Marcus smart shot 2 3 pointers without moving the ball??

Let me guess because he made some in the 1st half?
2 things need to go.. my lack of spell check and Joe.. :nod:

gotta clean up our PnR defense.
Nothing wrong with having a different opinion - as long as it's done respectfully. It'd be lame if we all agreed on everything :)

So? So don't assume that it's not necessary to dive. The other team might, and they'll get the ball if you are lazy and make lazy bum assumptions.


It wasn't necessary to dive. By the time he took the big, exaggerated jumping motion he didn't get to it any quicker anyway.

You don't dive to the ground to get to the ball faster. You do it to secure the ball vs. leaning over to pick up the ball.
