JB was impressive in the 3rd.

Unfortunate he got a T for arguing with the ref.

The disrespect JT gets from the refs is ridicolous.

That's why I want an upgrade over Sam.

Sam is just too limited.

Cs need someone that can finish on fast breaks, drive to the basket, and make open shots.

I really want to turn this game off. Just look at the way they defend, letting Trey Murphy, the hottest guy on the court, continues to shoot these clean looks. Everyone on the court knows their role is secured so they’re half assing out there guys like Al Horford and Pritchard putting next to zero effort on defense. No wonder springer looks like Gary Payton out there compared to a lot of these Celtics players.

That timeout to avoid the back court is the best piece of coaching I've ever seen from Joe

It’s always nice learning about some player who I have rarely or never have heard of on a sub 500 team, deciding to give Boston the business.

Tonight it’s Trey Murphy. Good on you young man.

If you wanna play an up-and-down game and just play, you should bloody fly JD Davison down to NOLA and give him a uniform, lol

This is good.

KP getting to the FT line and not shooting 3s is what will be the difference in the playoffs.

Officially a close game now.

Hard to beat an opponent when they're banking 3pt shots.
