That last TOV by JB is what I am talking about.
Come on, after 9 seasons?
Driving 1 on 3 with an open Zinger?
He will never change.
SamIam 2010: Truth's ability to play so incredibly efficiently is so UNDERAPPRECIATED. Bballcool 2012: Amazing how great Pierce has been for so long. Continues to defy age! KG 2013: P is original Celtic. Wherever he goes, we go. This is The Truth's house.

All four TOs courtesy of JB and PP. Only 4 in that half. Plus the efficient shooting! Defense has been okayish.

JT should just stop with all those dribble dribble iso side step, step back 3’s. He rarely makes them. He is better with those wide open catch and shoot 3’s.

Pretty satisfied with that first half tbh, albeit against an injury depleted Orlando, I enjoy less three ball, more intelligent/higher % 2 point bucket and drives to the paint. The Jays and KP leading the way

Much better than the nightmare fuel that was the Toronto game

I'm gonna forgive that horrendous final possession by JT considering that is the best offensive half he's played in a while

Shot distribution has been great esp since JT has shot better than his usual.

Tatum plays 22 mins. Queta plays 1.
Spread the responsibilities around a little more.

Derrick White has to be hurt, I can't believe how bad his shooting has fallen off

JT with KD pullup. We like.

Great find by JB. White dive cleared the middle.
