KP need to get amother dribble to the rim. Even with a pump fake he's getting a foul or any shot he wants.

Starters minus Brown haven't been particularly great and the bench is thin

Perfect pass by Jrue. No one can touch that.

Should Jaylen try a defensive style where he's closer to people when they shoot

JB dominating the paint. No one can guard him there. But he's also giving away other end. Mathurin cooking

Defense has to pick up. Don't like this scoring pace. Favors Indy.

Payton Pritchard has to lead the NBA in making shots at the quarter. Or buzzer

Pacers too comfortable. Not feeling our defense one bit. We're barely contesting threes.

He's like 3rd in the league in defensive fg%.

This is fun to watch.

Last season's Celtics was a little predictable on offense.

This season we're getting what we want and that's great ball movement.

Mathurin is what I thought we were getting when we drafted Langford and then some.
"I think the criticism's stupid," Stevens said. "So I don't care. I'm with Jaylen (Brown) on that. Those two had achieved more than most 25 and 26 year olds ever had. I'd rather be in the mix and have my guts ripped out than suck."
