Celts Son The Suns! Victory Cigar vs PHO 3/26

[UNCBlue012]

The Celtics are peaking at the right time and PorzinGOD looks like he's finally got his feet fully under him!

I don't watch other teams regularly so dunno if this claim is true -- never seen a team that uses the dunker spot as effectively as the Celtics do, mainly due to having 4 or 5 three-point threats at all times. You always have to account for the guy near the rim so when a double or even fake help happens whether up top or in the post, you're already drawing dead (okay except when we miss wide open threes via the ball movement created).

And it doesn't matter whether it's Jrue/White or KP/Kornet/Horf moving towards the dunker spot, they will pull defense from the perimeter/nail.

voted team because one team out there was way better than the other. Beat they ass! I’m talking from experience

Really good to see Porzingis grooving like this.

The funny part about this is they really don't have great scorers in these spots, ie, they never really prioritize the kind of classic, athletic leaping dunker types. Kornet is a sneaky effective dunker but I'm not sure Al could score on me in the post at this point. Outside of the Js, KP and the back up Cs (Queta/Kornet), no one else on the team has registered double digit dunks all season long.

This team plays like a juggernaut. We have a system, and it doesn't matter who is playing and who isn't, there is a system and we play by it
The last 3-4 games it seems like everyone is on the same page and it shows

Beautiful basketball with minimal isos and stuck offense. Great ball movement and finding the open man

Great job by Joe and the coaches

Nice win.

VC goes to KP and Al for me. Brown a close 3rd. All 3 played great.

KP with 30 points on only 15 shots. He also had 8 rebounds, 2 blocks and 2 assists.

Al was bouncing. Had 2 dunks. I thought he had a great all around game with 16 and 10 with 5 assists and 2 blocks.

Brown started off hot and set the tone. 24, 5 rebounds and 3 assists.

Both White and Jrue played well. Hauser was good.

Pritchard has an off night. I wanted to see Craig get more minutes against his former team.

Balyor was good. That one pass was great.

Hard to believe the Suns did not offer more resistance when their playoff chances are at stake.

Guess their defense is really that bad.

Booker may never see the Finals again. At least he'll always have his 70-burger in Boston (in a loss).

Rare bounce big to big pass.
