Yeah and Tatum shouldn't come out. Insane he had Kornet, Pritchard and Hauser out there at the same time. Basketball malpractice.


Yep, it's no longer the regular season.

Don't y'all think that those 3 should be alright, with Tatum and another Starter?

But then after the game she texts me about the shoes the players were wearing like that's the main thing to keep an eye on haha. According to her analysis good things come the Celtics' way when JT wears his pink shoes. And Jrue's big game last night was because he wore pink shoes too.

Well her analysis is far better and more interesting than an ESPN analyst's.

The best part about game 1 is they got the win but also have a chip on their shoulder for this one. Shouldn't be any complacency or playing down to the opponent.. I hope.

If our coach keeps asking Horford to drop on the 1-5 PnR, I will report him for elderly abuse.

I really feel like it could finally be our year, especially after last game. Seems like everything has gone our way so far with the exception of the KP injury but all signs point to him coming back soon…

Kornet, Pritchard and Hauser were on the court together for 12 seconds the entire game.

Good point.

In the first 2 series (vs CLE and MIA) we had very convincing wins in game 1. Which is probably a big reason why we lost game 2 in. both series - our guys thought it would be easy and took the opponent too lightly in game 2.

You would think since game 1 vs IND was such a war, and we came so close to losing, they should come out tonight with more focus and take the opponent more seriously.
Nothing wrong with having a different opinion - as long as it's done respectfully. It'd be lame if we all agreed on everything :)

They did take Indy seriously, it is just that Boston struggles to cover three point shooting teams with their drop coverage and the fact that Horford somehow ALWAYS ends up covering faster players that can hit the 3

Also, It isn't like Boston locked down the 3 point shooting of Miami and Cleveland, they had a ton of shots; they just missed everything because neither team could shoot. Indy can shoot. It is is also a recipe for disaster playing Al big minutes and having Kornet and Hauser, who are useless, playing minutes. This is going to be a tough series for Boston.

Of course a couple of these issues can be addressed if KP actually comes back.
