I feel like Kidd actually made Luka a GTD to bait Tatum into hunting him for isos.

Brothers hates Tatum, but clearly fouled on the drive. You have to give them that. I wish Tatum would drive to score. He is looking to pass for 3 too much.

Lively really has turned into a pumpkin
When will we just change the name of 25 of the 30 teams to the Washington Generals?

Please advise….

The draft weaknesses of Jaysons athleticism despite his high skill level were spot on. He just has too many games where his relative mid athleticism compared to other wings in the league is very apparent. Hes prolly the 4th most athletic wing in this series. And if the 3s not falling he has major struggle scoring.

Celtics have 6 more points from FTs and have had 4 more possessions.

I think Celtics are playing better but just can't seem to hit.

Boston's defense is just so impressive. One of the key traits of great modern teams compared to teams of the past is having guys on the court 1 through 5 who can guard and move their feet. Boston is the pinnacle of that right now.
