Kyrie has been absolutely embarrassing both games. So much for these redemption articles.

Tatum shut me up with his defense tonight. Bad shooting night, but he made up for it on defense.

I prefer Holiday and White handling the ball instead of Tatum and Brown.

Dude has been incredible. Straight jacket on Kyrie and making all the hustle plays while leading the Celtics in scoring.


Overall I think the Mavs benefitted by speeding up the pace tonight. There were indeed some ugly transition ball handling moments from both Washington and DJJ.

So is Doris going to say anything about KP after speculating he was injured or is she just going to leave us hanging?

Celtics with the better 3% than Mavs now..

Mavs with an equal FT% would be equal to Celtics right now.

There is no weak point in the BOS defense that Kyrie can attack

Don't think the announcers are doing Tatum any favors by trying to paint this game with rose-colored glasses, he's obviously been a huge disappointment.
