Playoffs are different, but he averaged 39 against them in two games this season lol, on a 67% TS.

I worry about everyone else against a team like the Wolves.

We shall see how good Malone is now he might actually have to make serious adjustments.

Usually he can get by with plan A and Jokic figuring things out.

I didn’t realize Murray threw something on the court. He should be gone for that.

I’ve been saying that Celtics would whoop the nuggets if Tatum and JB drove

Murray throws a heat pack on the court while the game is going on and no tech. I just don’t get it

All the East teams that are still in the playoffs better be watching. Wolves are looking like the team that is coming out of the West. They have to figure out as early as now how to handle this defense.

Big diff against us, wolves have bigs that can shoot 3’s, but also try to take it inside as well. We have old man horf. Softie Kornet and tillman. We probably need to give queta some burn. We might need his length and height. I don’t expect Porzingis to be reliable at all.

The hope is that if we met one of these teams, they would feel the bright lights more than us since we have seen it before. This level of basketball Minny is displaying I don’t think Boston can hang with. This is why I always pulled the Celtics record vs the Top 4 on the West as a major cause for concern. It’s all good winning 60+ games but we are 1-4 against these 2 teams, 4-8 if you add Dallas and OKC. Not pretty.

I thought they said Jokic is on Jordan’s level. Jokic would’ve been a mid pack against big men his size in 90s and 2000s

Wolves raising their Level. Celtics need to take note and come out the gate imposing their will.

Losing Brown and Uncle Jeff killed their chances
