Just a contrast of offensive styles. Celtics default to slow, mismatch-hunting while OKC works the defense with all their movement.

This is the exact unit I said I loved in the first half because of all the floors spacing.. offensively speaking of course.. But we need to make stops..
2 things need to go.. my lack of spell check and Joe.. :nod:

Those 3s for the Cs are run busters!

OKC goes on a run and the Cs end it by making 3s.

Might be the only time we had a chance to run this Q.

Cs need to start defending without fouling.

Bench has been terrific tonight. Everyone contributing and picking up the slack.
and that's "MR. Irrelevant" to you!!

Keep Jaylen on the bench for now. Hauser has been a good alternative.

Even with Denver beating Miami 4-1, in the finals, Denver was forced to play Miami's pace.

It's a given that the pace slows down in the playoffs.

If the Cs want Banner 18 they have to master the half court offense.

Did we sign him? Damn should lock in banner 18. Not sure why he’s fouling so much though.
