Mavs looking great. Spurs need a go to scorer.

Payton Pritchard low key has one of the very best value contracts in the league.

Bit of a late bloomer, but become a very valuable rotation piece off the bench, and his team-mates love him.

Every championship or contending team needs a glue guy like Pritchard

Is it a hot take to say he could start for some teams at pg?

Oh please, if you have league pass, you have the option to listen to the Wizards commentary team.

I feel like those opposition fans deliberately watch the games with the Celtics commentary in order to be deliberately offended.

The Chicago, Toronto and especially Pacers callers are far more irritating and biased than Drew and Scal, plus that nut from Charlotte but he is just so damn entertaining.


LMAO enough with "no it's you" knee-jerk defense. You don't even listen to Raptors' broadcast. They are Canadian nice, always complementing the other team's strengths and why we have to worry about them even when we had good teams and would obviously beat the other team. Our teams always are full of praise for Celtics.

And no, I watch what's on cable first, and this game's on NBA TV Canada. Which is showing Boston broadcast. No choice.


Okay my apologies for that.

I am biased of course but I don't think Scal and Drew are that bad. We have a very very good team and tbh it's hard not to kind of laugh at The Wizards (although I feel bad for their long suffering fans and season ticket fans who deserve so much better)

I live in Australia and league pass (whilst still an unreliable piece of junk) is still the only way I can watch all Celtics games without a VPN or an illegal stream (which I will never do)


Accepted. I would say they're a step below Warriors' broadcast which is unlistenable. They literally sound like Warriors fans on discussion boards. I deliberately mute if it is their broadcast. Thankfully, they suck last few years so I don't have to listen to them anymore.

Luka's got some weird mohawk thing going. It's not a good look.

Never forget Neemias Queta was waived by the Kings, yet the Celtics found a use for him.

"The first time in Klay Thompson's life he will be left wide open"

The guy was the 3rd option on a GOAT-level team with prime Curry and Durant. And last season Curry was still drawing doubles. I think he can get slightly more open looks in Dallas than in GS last year, but this narrative has gone too far. GS's system was designed to get him and Curry open 3s, which he did get and hit. I mean 2 years ago he led the league in 3s made, sheesh.

Hope it's not a serious injury for Carrington.

They are winning but yet to be convinced the Mavs off season additions have made them better (and Derrick Jones Jnr and Josh Green are significant outs)

Champagne had two wide open 3s. He must hit those.

Spurs should have signed klay. He would have been the perfect vet fit for that team.
