Parlay it with the -9 odds in favor of the Celtics. So you'd win a billion dollars.

They should be doing this more already. At worst they draw more fouls. Hard to get fouled behind the three point line.

If they posted up more their PPP would plummet. Tatum and Porzingis have been really good in the post because they post up against mismatches.

They don't even post up 3 times a game combined..

Just looked it up.

We're tied for 2nd in the league in post up frequency.

So I wouldn't say we have to post up more. I'd just say we should keep posting up about the amount we are right now - and make sure to keep doing it during playoffs and during crunch time of playoff games (when our offense in the past has gotten more stagnant vs tougher defenses).
Nothing wrong with having a different opinion - as long as it's done respectfully. It'd be lame if we all agreed on everything :)

Hard to follow Abbie Chins inflections but I think she just said Brown - available and KP - probable.

If Drew Peterson doesn't score 20 tonight he's a bust.

Always tough to win twice in a row in these situations but hopefully we can protect home court and come out a bit hotter

When you have a dream, you've got to grab it and never let go. Nothing is impossible. The word itself says 'I'm possible!’ There is nothing impossible for those who will try. Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts. You define your own life. Don't let other people write your script. Do not allow people to dim your shine because they are blinded. Tell them to put some sunglasses on. During our darkest moments, we must focus to see the light. Believe you can and you're halfway there.


IT’S OUR TIME, BANNER 18 IS OURS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

There's no failure in sports. It's not a failure, it's steps to success. There's good days, bad days. Some days you are able to be successful, some days you are not, and that's what sports is about.

Jaylen should've let Porzingis reset.

JB for MVP. I'm this close to admitting I'm wrong about him.
