This pace favors us tbh. Wolves would want to slow this down and make it a grind out game.

I don't know what to make of it that we have the two Kornet Contesters in the whole league on our team...

Man, I feel for Gobert.

JB just made one of the best posters in the NBA.

That was insane!

Honestly good defense both sides so far, Bette shot making. Edwards is great. KAT getting smothered by Jrue and KP was beauty

Bar fight pace tonight so far. JB earning that money.

That one very well could have been best in his career. Giannis maybe but oof. That one was something.

So good to have a team were we don't need the 2 Jays to both go off at the same time. The top 6 always get 3-4 contributing now.

McDaniels is giving Tatum trouble. Rest of the starters are more than picking up the slack though. Don’t think either foul on Horford was actually a foul. Boxing out isn’t a foul lol

Same coach from last season.

It's not the coach, it's the players.

Last season Celtic fans were saying Joe doesn't know how to coach defense.

The Cs just didn't have the personnel last season.

Man. say what you want about JB but you can't deny the fact that he's got accumulated a ton of sick poster dunks in his career and he's only 27.
Nothing wrong with having a different opinion - as long as it's done respectfully. It'd be lame if we all agreed on everything :)

We need a better shot than Porzingis sidestep three from 5 feet behind the line.

Joe all but admitted to not prioritizing defense last season but if you want to make it about him, yes he’s been very solid thus far

Full court press worked. Jrue on Towns worked. KP on McDaniels worked. Joe for CotY.
