He CAN hit a pullup 3 on the break though

Shut up Reggie - u dumb ****
SamIam 2010: Truth's ability to play so incredibly efficiently is so UNDERAPPRECIATED. Bballcool 2012: Amazing how great Pierce has been for so long. Continues to defy age! KG 2013: P is original Celtic. Wherever he goes, we go. This is The Truth's house.

At least now we have a counter to Bam with KP around.

100%

You can see the Heat are not getting away with Butler or any small Heat player guarding our Center.

Last season the Heat got away with putting a small player on Rob Williams because Rob was not an offensive threat.

We don’t have that big pulling up for mid ranges last year with Rob and Al. Also Nutler can’t bully pump fake inside with KP like what he did with Al and Rob.

As long as he passes, I'll take a few bad passes over no passes every time.


Not if they injure KP.

Heat are finding out this is not the same Celtics team.

You put Butler or Caleb on KP and it will be a score for the Cs.

Three early turnovers. All passing TOs iinm but passes that don’t have a chance of connecting. At least they’re not dribbling TOs.

I'm appreciative of JB trying to pass... But 'trying' is being kind :(

The issue has been his me-first mentality all along. The fact that he now passes is a huge shift. He'll learn not to make stupid passes in time. Small steps.

So I'm watching this game in silent mode not by choice.. And my view is from behind the backboard.. All because I can't change the **** channel because my remote controls batteries died..

2 things need to go.. my lack of spell check and Joe.. :nod:
