KP has been getting buckets and that's one of the biggest things I was looking for. Poise and effectiveness from KP.

Those shots from KP & DWhite, at the end of the half, were huge. We were otherwise looking completely out of sorts.

I'm glad that Jaylen hasn't been hogging ballhandling tonight, but if nothing else we need to be making better use of him as a cutter, post up option, etc.

All in all we're up 15, I'll take that

Despite the lead, you can tell they are already taking the foot off the gas.

Agreed. Need to take them down a peg.

Like Herro, I really thought the Celtics would get him in the draft. I really like Jaquez, and only hate his face when playing the Celtics. He would have been a great guy off our bench with Al, Sam and Pritchard, but Pat snagged him a few picks before.

I just hope he doesn't go all Magic Johnson on us like Herro did in the bubble. Sam's shooting has so far been a nice antidote to Jaime's all-around court game.

Sit 7 for the rest of the game, season, & as long as he is on this team
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.

I hate being up 15 and holding the opponent to 45 points in a half too.

His shot is so smooth.

Yup, the aggression was there at the start but slowly the energy has gotten down. Need to step on their throat and wipe them out

Apart from that Herro wide open corner three (KP didn't close out), love how we're running them off the arc. White and Jrue barely contributed on scoring but chasing off the Heat shooters and fighting through screens matter when they don't have much to rely on on offense.

Oh cool, we’re playing really well, on pace to win by 25+ despite not playing real ball in a bit. Getting whatever shots they want offensively, just have missed some wide open looks.

I've made a point of avoiding anything that involved Kendrick Perkins. Just caught him at the half time panel. Jesus Christ he's got fat, his shadow has to way 75lb on it's own.
