Banton has a slightly better offensive stat line than Pritchard in slightly fewer minutes.

He's also outrebounding him, as Pritchard is actually the only Celtic to play who doesn't have an offensive rebound.

Just giving great shooters practice shots is dumb as ****. Feels ridiculous that this even needs to be articulated

This team has no competitive fire at all

Even when JT sinks the shot, watching him dribble for 8 seconds beyond the 3pt line is... Bleh!

I have Atlanta Miami and Golden State as the worst possible teams to play drop coverage in and yet that's all we ever do..

And the worst part with that is it'll make everyone think it's okay.. But most of us realize that's not how you're gonna sustain success.. Especially against better teams

The alternative is Kornet/ Queta chasing people out on the three point line. At that point just let them shoot.

I don't think I'll ever see a more ugly fast break result in points for the rest of my life

Mazz finally tells them to stop playing drop coverage.

Finally.

And the possession before on a short roll, he didn't make the first available pass to Horford in the corner and waited until Hauser was open. That's good decision-making.
