Hauser playing well????
What game are you watching. That scrub can’t hit a 3 to save his life. Momentum killer

He's 3-7 or 42% from three.

Holiday has been getting kind of cooked all game defensively. Not his best day.

Get queta in. Kornet is useless on D and can’t rebound

Making the Raptors look like '17 Warriors offensively

I really want this one. F Toronto.

Would be such a **** way to lose the first game to this awful team.

What’s up with zinger in and out of lineups lately? We know about JT’s ankle, is it the same for KP?

They are saying it's his calf.

Calf. He probably plays if this was a playoff game.

At least play one of KP or horf.

Sheesh. Always gotta be careful with that then.

Celtics are better with Tatum and KP. They shouldn't trade them at deadline.

That means rest. Load management.

The one overlooked benefit of bigs that can shoot threes is you can play two of them at the same time. Kornet and Queta aren't bad defenders but they can't be left out on an island either with Jaylen as the 2nd biggest guy on the floor.

Turnovers losing game.
7 w 6

Mazzulla has a lot more trust in Kornet as a player than I ever will.

this has been such a pathetic collapse.

The stretch to start the 4th with Brown on the bench and Toronto goes 18-3 run to start the 4th is what is losing this game

playa-hater · Post #338 » by **playa-hater** » Sat Dec 30, 2023 2:34 am

Kornet grabbed two defensive rebounds in the first two possessions of the game.. In the next twenty seven minutes he has one defensive rebound..

Triple7 · Post #339 » by **Triple7** » Sat Dec 30, 2023 2:35 am

I’ll put queta in. He’s a lob threat all the time when White attacks inside. Plus he can body up Barnes inside. Kornet is just too soft
