Detroit Demolished! Victory Cigar vs DET 12/12

[fallguy]

Pritchard is the evolutionary Vinnie Johnson.

[Fierce1]

Cs won the 3pt battle 60-21.

Also won the rebounding battle 51-43.

Lost in points in the paint 46-48.

Those are the 3 things to watch out for when it comes to Mazzulla Ball.

Constable, need name now!! Must roll off the tongue!! Pritchard and White!! 3pt assassins!!

Hairless Horrors?

Pritchard is the evolutionary Vinnie Johnson.

Including with the offensive rebounding.

So what's a modern evolution of a Microwave -- an Air Fryer? (Even if it is, perhaps that should be saved for somebody who plays over the rim ...)

Porzingis/Kornet/Peterson/Jaylen/Pritchard is, on the whole, a very White lineup.

How many times do you see a group on the floor that is majority White American?

Future pun ideas:

Something about "monumental" for Washington.
Something about "No L" for Christmas.

JT and the Exciting Whites -- Pritchard/Hauser/Kornet/Peterson/Scheierman/Porzingis/DWhite -- have only played 62 possessions this season. 102 possessions all of last season (Svi instead of Scheierman).

Not quite 1985-6. 7 of the top 9 minutes guys -- and 8 of the 10 who got any starts -- were White.

And 1 of the 2 exceptions had freckles.

However, the head coach was Black.

Can't use their jersey numbers and call them 9/11 "something" when we already have Al-Queta. Can't use any references to Boston and bombs. Can't use their initials, show our love for them, and call them P-D-philia.

Beer and Pritchels?

This is proof that the system works.

It was just a few years ago that the Celtics had a losing record when Tatum does not play.

Joe said they have egos, but they put it in the right place.

Those old enough to remember the 1990s Bulls, this Celtics team is very similar to that dynasty.

They're very good, they emphasize ball movement, and they have great wing players.

Otherwise I don't see the analogy. Most notably, the Bulls featured a bunch of players who each excelled at one end of the court only.

I'm not referring to style, I'm referring to the winning and dominance.

VC/CP:

PP, White, (and Tatum) are all on pace to make 300+ threes this season. If they don't miss any more games, that is. Single-season record for a Celtic in made threes is 245 set by Isaiah Thomas in 2016-17.

[Fierce1]

10 years from now, JT will break Steph's 3pt record.

That is if JT continues taking and making 3s at his current pace.

went JB for VC w/pritch, for what he *didn't* do. with tatum out he didn't force things, he didn't try to be a hero, he didn't even try to be the leading scorer. just let the game come to him and played solid on both ends. me likey this new jaylen.

I promise I voted the same for the same reason *before* reading your post.
JB was feeling himself with some nice passes tonight, including one in the 1st quarter where he pranced up the sideline with the ball, looked the defense off, and dropped a perfect dime to a posting Horford for an easy score.

year or two ago he would have HAD TO try to go for 40 on a night like this
now he didn't even get into it with Beef Stew
just jogged around, made good plays, helped lead the team to an easy W

you love to see it

[31to6]

Pritch and Buffalo smoke it.

Fun and mostly stress free win after the first quarter (which is good for my blood pressure)

Enjoyed some vintage Luke Kornet highlights too which was a treat.

Bit disappointed with the lack of fight by these young Pistons from an neutral perspective, esp after they crushed the Knicks at MSG a few days ago.

I love the fact we are gifted with another game vs the Wiz for not making the NBA Cup 2nd round (lol Knicks)

Pistons need an identity.

Cade is a great player, but he's more like JT when it comes to leadership.

They need a Draymond type player.

Beef Stew is a bargain bin Draymond.

In fact, Stewart and Sasser both did Dikembe 'finger wags' during last night's game after blocking shots by the Celtics, in the midst of a game their team lost by 24 points

good game good effort, Detroit basketball

Yeah, the toughness part, but Stew is not a leader.
