I am definitely not sentimental To players like Many on here are ..Al horford.Should not see the court at all in the fourth quarter crunch time. He fools some people sometimes with an occasional make but he is dreadful. And I mean offensively and defensively. As far as reboundings go he's never even near the rim

Just.watch the videos from most of the season
2 things need to go.. my lack of spell check and Joe.. :nod:

Foul a non-shooter.

It’s uncanny how Tatum misses these

Maine Celtics went to OT, and then lost by 1.

22 FT attempts to 6. This is becoming a bit of a theme.

We've been fouling a lot lately cos I think they're trying something new -- force TOs. We've never been that type of team.

Is this a jinx or a reverse jinx?

Foul up by 3. Don't let them tie it..give them the 2 FT's, we win

Just be careful to not foul them while shooting a 3..
Nothing wrong with having a different opinion - as long as it's done respectfully. It'd be lame if we all agreed on everything :)

Gritty win. Almost blew it in the end. Defense has to get better though. Still not seeing much defensively. 57 3 point attempts tonight.
