Our bench is slowly becoming a strength instead of a weakness

Good stuff, Brissett!

White with the lowest +/- so far. I'm disappoint.

Are these the first threes he has made all season?

Don’t think so but it’s not many

As much as we want to complain about the amount of threes we take, we're just hard to beat when we make them.

When they're not falling, Cs gotta find a way to attack the paint and score from there. OReb, postups, force TOs, get to the line.

How so Kings game we had 8 3pm in the 1st quarter . This game we made 6 . We just settled for a lot more this game so yea if he went hit them at the clip of the kings game we would have a obscene 12 3pm.

We made 2/3 of our threes in the 1st quarter of last game, this game we had 1/3.

We only shot 12 and made 8 in the quarter last game, if we shot 12 and made 6 tonight that be 50%.

Queta working on his O rebounding. :lol:

ConstableGeneva · Post #150 » by **ConstableGeneva** » Sat Dec 23, 2023 9:21 pm

Whoever's saying Queta has good touch has his pants on fire lol.

BK_2020 · Post #151 » by **BK_2020** » Sat Dec 23, 2023 9:21 pm

Maybe Queta shouldn't hurl those hook shots at the rim, just softly float them in.

PierceFan4ever · Post #152 » by **PierceFan4ever** » Sat Dec 23, 2023 9:22 pm

Sheesh Queta has a pretty bad touch around the rim but his rebounding and hustle has been great

playa-hater · Post #153 » by **playa-hater** » Sat Dec 23, 2023 9:22 pm

Okay, so big Q can't make the first one. But at least he keeps going and getting his misses.. Is literally Is an expert on getting his own shot l o l..

YEAH HAUSER!!
Wyc and his Hollywood friend brought out the Three Point Magic.

Queta is very usable. Not an amazing baby hook and is foul prone but couldn’t ask for a lot better

Holiday leads the team -- with ties -- in point, rebounds and assists.

Edit: At least, he did when I first typed that.

ConstableGeneva · Post #157 » by **ConstableGeneva** » Sat Dec 23, 2023 9:22 pm

Tatum taking on PG. Good initial denial. Wish we completed that possession

8 Celtics with a 3-ball in the first half. Amazing.

playa-hater · Post #159 » by **playa-hater** » Sat Dec 23, 2023 9:23 pm

Defenses hasn't been bad but we need to get that rebound.

White is super off today
