One reason why I can't wait for Jaden Springer and X is because they will give energy on defefense. Boston's starters play so casual on defense to start a game I'm getting sick of it.
2 things need to go.. my lack of spell check and Joe.. :nod:

White deserves some DPOY of the year consideration. His rim protection is ridiculous. He's also one of the best POA defenders in the NBA.

Ben Simmons shooting is an automatic transition because his teammates just drop everything and watch.

He and White together will wreak havoc at the POA. Jrue has fallen off at the point of attack but amazing at guarding bigger players.

Should have traded for Walker. Instant offense off the bench.

Horford is having fun out there.
You think that he can go for another 2 years?

And, at what level?

Bridges looks less and less impressive every time I see him. Anybody agree?

He's not really a #1.
Was better when he was down the Chart line.

He was always a good roleplayer at best. Trade board thinks the Nets can get Darius Garland for him.

Is three point defending an issue for this team?

I agree with Scal for once. Zone is not great.Celtics defense when it's good it's all about ball pressure. When they dont do that teams score pretty easy.

Walker cooking Pritchard. Extra crispy. Tatum doing worse to that scrub Dennis.

Lonnie Walker, for a sneaky good 4-4.
