Yeah. This is why I pushed against "Put Paolo in the post" narrative all year. Not until he has some actual moves there.

Why is our “best” shooter not the one making entry pass… KCP or Harris should be the one making it, and if defense sinks it’s a catch and shoot three… Just ignorant basketball…

Boston is going to roll a big to the basket. They run that every time out of a timeout

That's a good call actually

Defense falling apart a bit.

It's all about hitting open jump shoots

We need to put bigger players in.

Couldn’t miss in the 1st Q. Can’t hit in the 2nd

We going to have to grind this out

I would not be running anything through Paolo right now when Franz is on the court. Franz is making all the right reads and making his shots

I'm impressed with this team

Also, its harder to double when attacking from the perimeter opposed to the post. Hence part of why Paolo has worked on (& improved on) since his rookie season

When he was a rookie the majority of his turnovers were strips on drives

Paolo is dreadful...aside from that and 1 lol

Way to redeem the blown layup Paolo

Wendell has been really good defensively

Three on Tatum

WCJ has had the best stretch of his season rebounding the ball this series

Pretty impressive against both Zingis & Horford as starters

I think Paolo's conditioning is still bad
