You should feel a lot better about the $2 than the +700.

From a fundamental standpoint it is better for a man to have nothing but be under the protection of Jesus Christ than for him to have everything he could ever want yet be completely without.

They’re not stupidly doubling him then lol, they’re attacking a weakness in his game

After all these years Towns still making that move too quick. He should slow it down and use his height, instead of try to out quick Horford.

He doesnt have any back to the basket footwork or even really good foot work at all. He only knows how to gather step with big strides and thats it.

I know Celtics want to shed some cash at the end of the season, will they really trade Jrue if they win it all?

Or it could be this game

Knicks are legit. Stop sleeping on them. They are outworking the "great" Celtics.

There’s no reason to double him, he can’t even score on single coverage. You only double players that you can’t defend 1 on 1.

Imagine being as garbage as your two stars have been and still leading the game. That Boston roster is ridiculous.
