Agreed, but to be fair Miami is fighting to make the playoffs but the Celtics have a fairly comfy lead over the rest of the league.

They are rolling out mostly bums. No excuse.

He’s not a dumb player.

He’s not an instinctual player.

He’s not a dumb player.

He’s not an instinctual player.

In other words he's a dumb low iq player.

Porzingis shouldn't have come back into the Games.
Concerned.

I don't think it's an excuse but I do think there's a natural human tendency to let up on the gas a bit in those circumstances. There will be some who are wired different but I do think most normal humans have that tendency.

Al v Pritch v Derrick debate

Negative BBIQ for asswipe 7 not debatable
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.

White finds PP in the corner off KP pick. Just didn't make the shot.
