He was great this second half lol. That first half was as bad as I’ve seen him in the playoffs

Horford with just 24 minutes. Hallelujah!

We’ll need him fresh against DAL/MIN.

So small ball is the answer. Turner didn't play much after we went to that and no Haliburton...I think we're all set from here on out.

Yes, he was good in the 2nd half, but he just needs to be disciplined enough to not take those ugly 3’s, ball stopping isos, and ugly turn around fade aways.

Yes. Brissett is the key to finish this series quickly. Will the village idiot go back to Kornet though?

We'll slightly be better on D but significantly better on O.

Not the downpour from 3 I was expecting but still got the job done.

53/41/85 splits is pretty good.

What do you base that one? She slobbers over Brown and Tatum. She compliments White and Jrue.


Selective hearing.


not at all. She only started the compliments after the Celts were up by 10+. Before that every break that she led into, was building up the Pacers.

I predict we win by 15, Jaylen scores 40 but BK2020 finds a stat that says we were better without him, Stan takes the bait, Player-hater claims he knows more about basketball than Joe because he once bought a basketball on sale at Wal-Mart, and someone starts a thread claiming if we had a better coach we could have won by 16 instead.

Just bumping my own prediction so I can pat myself on the back (backside, where I pulled that prediction out of)

Game after I posted this -- Tatum 5/10 from 3, Horford 7/12 from 3.

Tatum and Horford got their shot back. Hauser is next.

This needed a sad trombone music background...
