To be that small out there and dominate so big. Brunson is amazing

Jrue isn't as big and tall as Ausur. Brunson is not effected by his defense.

Why is Boston just chucking 3's? I always see people saying they're just so much smarter than other teams but ultimately I think they just lived by the 3 last season, and right now they're dying by it.

I haven't watched BOS play in a while. Now I remember why I cannot stand their style of play. When old folks talk about why the game sucks today, they are thinking of BOS. Non stop chucking from 3

Good lord
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.

What I dont get about Tatum is he idolizes Kobe and at times he takes shots that Kobe would never take

Wait…what?

There was a shot Kobe wouldn’t take?

This. Kobe took all types of ridiculous shots, at least Tatum doesn't shoot over double teams.
