Brown has to play 20 mins a Game, for the Rest of the way; to get to 65?

That's correct. 20 minutes more than the minutes he should be playing.

there's a less than 0% chance jb makes and all nba team this year. such a stupid decision to play for an individual award you aren't even in consideration for.

JB and this 65-game thing. I hate it. He does not look right out there at all.
and that's "MR. Irrelevant" to you!!

Right on. The lack of self-awareness is almost comical.

Let’s talk about the game and not JUST how much we hate players trying to gut it out when injured

Derrick had a great 1st quarter
Paul Pierce appreciation society.

i can empathize with a player wanting to play hurt to get some individual recognition -- this would obviously make sense for tatum since he's almost a lock for 1st team. but jb? no way in hell he's a top 15 player this season

Pritchard keeps leaving his man from three.

What does a JT/JB/Al/KP-less lineup look like?

White/Jrue/Hauser/Craig/Kornet?

Thank goodness Maine lost the G-league playoffs lol.

Everyone's AVAILABLE except Horford.

Ps Hauser came into the game leading the league in TO% let’s see if he can hang on

Outside of Brown, rebounding has been a major issue in this game. We really need Horford for those double big lineups.

PP a no-show in 1st half. Liability on defense.

What's with this announcer?
He's messed up like 5+ times. Reggie Miller has corrected him a few times..

Maybe we should pepper Queta in there, too?
