With Ant, the ball gets sticky. With Towns, he makes careless mistakes or tries to show off all his skills.

Both are great players, but we play so much better as a team. I’m glad Finch is installing more guardrails.

You simply can't do that if you want to be elite. Denver doesn't do that, the Celtics wont do that.

He dribbles it off his foot but then proceeded to flop for no reason.

I feel like you need to trust Edwards here. Took way too long to put him back in.

I don't want a moral victory. I don't want us to give them a good game. I want a FREAKING WIN!!

Imagine getting this W. Nothing will be more convincing to our players that we are on the right path than a win here. Especially on a night where Towns was bad, if this team can beat the number team in the NBA with a terrible KAT performance, the sky is the limit.

True. BOS has a lot more experience closing out games like this, but I really want us to win this one!

Might be why he misses more free throws at times. He tends to make them more consistently when he’s less fatigued.

I agree with you if only for a night. He's got to control his brain a lot better. He is a very, very emotional guy.

Too often it gets the best of him. It's as simple as that.

There isn't any reason the team can't convince him of that. It's hard to change what you are.

Isn't it amazing how good things are when they're going good? He plays great but then......

Why no Conley? Because he has sucked all night?

He's 28 years-old, in his 9th season and will break 20K career minutes this year.

It's who he is.
