both teams with 9 free throws. Both teams with 9 TOVs. We’re 16/46 from Three, they’re 11/34 from Three.
But they cooked us on ball movement winning assists 35 to 24. And that’s the ball game.

This is why sharing the plane with the team is ass. They are all buddies. Now accountability from the Homer commentators for how bad the team has been playing.

And they been bad for weeks.

And that other ass clown spends the entire night thinking up new **** Nick names

Tricky, but you use Ben Simmons expiring contract as matching and get Cam Thomas as the actual asset of the trade.

3-pt shooting not ideal. But 20/46 from 2 is just laughable. Dunno how many JB missed at the rim. Not to mention 9 misses at the FREE throw line.

Time to hear Jayson Tatum whisper in the postgame interview, Brown with his passive aggressive bull and Joe saying ‘own your space’ and ‘spacing’ 500 times to justify his **** defensive team.

Starting to really sour on some of these **** dudes.
WHAT THEY GON’ SAY NOW? ‎ THANK YOU TRUTH!

Pile on Joe??? Everyone has no problem "piling on" the Players. we have 15+ players. But only 1 HC.. let that sink in..
2 things need to go.. my lack of spell check and Joe.. :nod:

20/46 from 2. 9 missed FTs. Can’t have high assist rate when you’re missing a ton of shots.

Raptors were 34/55 from 2.

Would concede though that Raps had easier passes within the 3-pt line and in the paint since they had more movement and cutting. Cs were standing outside the arc while Jays iso.

The worst announcing duo in the league. I envy the people who don’t live in New England that have league pass and can choose other broadcasts.
“Derrick White will get 20 points now”
“I promise you Derrick Whites next three goes in”
I can’t believe it’s 2025 and we don’t have an option to watch games like we are there live without broadcasters

These guys playing now like they hate each other out there. No fun being had at all. Ball isn’t moving well. A guy like White plays off of the energy of the team. Why does it seem like we play Horford 40 minutes a game? KO has all but abandoned any semblance of a post game. Brown will make the all star team but it will be a sham. Dude is having his worst season in years.

Ok rant over lol.

Yeah it’s starting to get annoying. I get it, it’s fine when things are going well but lately it’s been garbage. Tatum gets an iso “oh yeahhhh go to work JT, cook, cook” JT then bricks a three Celtics down 12 with 5 minutes left in the game. Like nobody wants to hear that **** at that moment in the game.
