Nice bounce back from PP. Whether he's producing off the bench for us or not is always a huge factor.

I said to myself, “let Jordan Walsh try that” … Put Jordan in, drive the close out from the corner and try to dunk on dudes head!

That’s the great thing about JB, the “low variance” offense as they call it. He takes his guy to the hoop and puts him in the basket, not a lot of variance there, lol!

Jokic should not be ahead of Tatum in the mvp race lmao. MVP has gotten the biggest benefit of the doubt of any player in history. Denver is a crappy team. They don’t win against winning teams yet Jokic is somehow “leading the MVP race”. Corny

Except when a second man meets him there and it's 50/50 from there. Turnover or he finds a late kickout.

Refs just took away Tatum's three with ill-timed tech.

Don’t make a reference or gesture for a timeout, it usually doesn’t end well. :lol:

JB's court awareness is miles ahead of where it was just four or five seasons ago. This is also why his assists and potential assists are up.

Denver just doesn't seem like a legit contender this year.

Celtics failed Al. That trolling job was elite. C's needed to back him up and win that series.
