Not that it matters but JT for VC and DW for CP.

Great team win at home!

Against the highest scoring bench in the league. Indy scored 60 themselves. Problem is our starters scored 92 lol.

Tatum's on another level right now. He's combining all those post moves with the mid range shots that Brad wanted him to stop taking early in his career, continuing his three point barrage, and just scoring at any and every point on the floor. He's becoming unguardable.

You know the Pacers board didn't even have a thread for this game.

It was the all consuming fear in their hearts...

Really good team win.

The only negative was that there was like a 5 min stretch there in the 2nd quarter where both Jays were doing too much iso, my turn, your turn stuff.

We cleaned that up in the 3rd quarter though, moved the ball better, got everyone involved better.

Overall, very good win.

You don't want to get too carried away with this win, since the Pacers aren't that good and their best player was out tonight.

But it was a good win. Pretty much all 13 of our guys contributed.

Let's keep this going. Keep winning, keep building on this. Keep building the chemistry with all these new guys. And don't get complacent! It's a long season - eyes on the prize.
Nothing wrong with having a different opinion - as long as it's done respectfully. It'd be lame if we all agreed on everything :)

Also hired Joe, added Cassell + Lee, employed JVG, etc. I think he also buys coffee for everybody as the first guy in the building. Blockbuster Brad does everything.

They are too busy overrating their players on the trade board.
Turner DPOY. Nembhard should net them 3 FRPs, etc.

D. White looked very strong. He's upped his game this year, becoming a huge offensive threat while still maintaining superb defense.

Ainge thought he got the next Paul Pierce when he drafted Tatum in 2017.

Apparently Ainge drafted the closest thing to Larry Joe Bird!


Tatum reminds me of a Grant Hill Kobe Hybrid TBH.. but bigger and maybe better :nod:

Yup. They both looked very good. MUCH better performance for both of them than we saw the other night vs the wizards.

I continue to be so impressed in how much improvement Hauser has made defensively since becoming a Celtic.

He was legit a bad defender in college. even though he was a 4 year college player, even in his senior year he couldn't defend a chair. It's not like he was a bad defender but that was only as a freshman.

It (poor defender) is a big reason why Hauser went undrafted.

But than last season he legit was a solid defender and we're seeing more solid defense so far this season too.

It's a credit to the work he's put in, but also our coaches have helped him, no doubt. And I bet having to defend the Jays in practice everyday has helped him to get better too.

Adding a vote for Jrue after remembering his halftime interview: "The key is the first 5 minutes of the second half" -- dude gets it, knows how to win, and just might continue to do it for the next 95 games

True.

You double JT or JB and the other 3 starters will punish you!

I was kind of scared (especially with Ben Sullivan gone) coming into this season that perhaps his shooting would regress back to career averages (around 34% career from 3 prior to last season).

Good to see that's not happening.

He's looked excellent so far this season - shooting included.
