If the Celtics win each quarter by 12, it should help their net rating

Don't waste those.

They really need to add another one in the NBA.

1 more possession in the 1st quarter is the same as 1 more possession in the 4th.

It matters more in the 4th; when the Game tends to be more on the line.

Yeah it feels like a possession means more when the game is 109-108 in the 4th but the fact is, if you had an extra possession earlier and scored your 1.2 then it would be 110.2-108 in the 4th and there's no difference.

Celtics system really working.

Even when guys like Svi are called to step up, the offense doesn't have a letdown.

Joe got this system from Brad Stevens.

I was really hoping Brad would win a chip as Cs coach.

Maine's coach pretty much said Walsh wasn't putting forth effort before the last 2 games, I'm in my feelings about it, I'm mad at him because it is probably the reason he hasn't sniffed minutes at any time this season. If he was going at it as he has recently he may have gotten some garbage minutes earlier. I don't know, just mad because max effort is the only thing going to get him out there in the next few chip seasons.

That's discouraging. I was actually pretty optimistic about how he played when he got scant runs with the big league team.

Could easily be up 30 already since we were running great offense but just missing everything the first 6 min of the game

Kings are also unlucky - they have lost both of their shooting guards to injuries, mind ya.
