Dejounte is shooting 55% against Tatum (23pts total). 3rd most match-up behind Trae vs White (41pts@35%) and Trae vs Al (25pts@52%). Is that off Dejounte-Collins 2 man game?

2nd half
Celts 106 ORtg (2nd to the worst) 119DRtg (12 of 16)

4th Qtr
Celts 111 ORtg (11 of 16) 121 DRtg (12 of 16)

Celts does not have an extra gear. They just play good basketball for full 48. You’ll beat this team by being resilient and having composure and a good closer down the stretch.
There’s never been a time in history when we look back and say that the people who were censoring free speech were the good guys.

I'd like DJM to play off ball more. Those are his best attributes. He's the quickest and fastest the team has. Backdoor lobs for him should be a thing. Running off screens for a 3 or attack closeouts for a short midranger.

Not feeling too good about game 6 of this series. Boston will be ready to go, the Bucks lost will have put a bit of reality to system. Hopefully the Hawks don't come out flat and play up while proving me off on this one.

We at least put up a fight in the series and gained some measure of respect between three victories over Miami and Boston.

This postseason run will be beneficial for Jalen moving forward. not sure if he'll be here long term, but the kid is clearly an NBA caliber talent. Glad he got to experience that on the home court.
