Randle earned this with his lazy ass and nonchallancy... but trading away Donte, not getting Mitchell and trading for Bridges were great blunders

First point is gotta give Boston credit. They played the perfect game for most of it.

As a team, there is almost no defensive understanding of each other yet. So that’s where I’m going to leave that part right now. If I’m still saying this in a month, hit me on the back of the head.

KAT: showed better post play than in preseason and generally looked smooth. Solid debut in many ways.

Mikal: Hopefully the monkey is off his back. Good third quarter.

Deuce: The choruses for him to start might be founded. Best contract in the league?

OG needs to show more, but no doubt he will.

Huk took 8 seconds To show that he is better than Sims

As several others have mentioned, I’m glad we played Boston first. We need to take our lumps to grow. Credit to Reggie Miller for giving us some kudos for a change

and most of the games are like this. they make a ton of 3's vs us.



Realistically the only way to defend this is play zone, that is why the Heat have so much success playing them, Spo isn't afraid to say "**** this" and zone up


matchup zone/switch whatever you want to call it you just can't play drop or trap because they have too much spacing and too many guys that can handle the ball and make good decisions with it.

This is not a "this" team issue. Thibs has always struggles to defend teams that shoot a lot of 3's because he is still so worried about protecting the paint. People overhelp way too much vs a team that can shoot.

The Celtics won the championship and they were still underestimated by many fans with Tatum benched in the Olympics and other things. They are a great team.

this is also the celtics the best team in the NBA at home...right now I will chalk it up to just this game.

No rest for the weary though we got another great offense coming in with Indy.

But our huge run after the OG trade we weren't playing that many great teams. So that helped.

"We all thought..."

Some of us have believed in Deuce for awhile now. The man can play and showed up in the real games in the playoffs last year. Yet people want to trade him away for nothing.
