What happened to KP? I assume he is on minutes restriction but is he done for the night?

Seriously, he's being doubled and tripled every time he attacks.

That's why he's passing the ball.

You want him to force shots?

2 or 3 guys on you means you have 1 or 2 teammates open.

I want a nice stress-free fourth quarter. Don't let them back into it.

Game of runs. I’m more impressed that we’ve pushed it back out. That’s growth.

Sure but you cant end 2 qt like that and start 3 qt even worse :banghead:


I hear ya! Old Celtics would have capitulated completely. Now we’re up 20 heading into the 4th.

Nah. Tatum still gets the superstar focus from the other teams. JB stepping up for the team this season though. Won’t be many JB haters left.

He's looking to trade an All NBA Defensive Team and an All NBA Team for an ECF MVP and Finals MVP. Good trade in my mind.

Aside from the turnovers (which is a big deal), JT has been good. If he cleans that up then he is doing everything we need him to do IMO.

Ngl Kyrie had two wide open 3’s that would have really put us on our heels and he clanked both. But yh for the most part we took everything they have away.
