At some point you'll wonder if there's a problem with the ball or rim. Push past that.

You can tell the Celtics have no real plan on offense except get switched onto KAT or Bruson and shoot a 3. Like they dont seem to run actual plays.

He's short and has a hard time getting clean looks because Boston has length and can switch everything.

But Brunson is amazing given his size.

No Reggie, this isn’t unbelievable. Celtics have done this all year.

What is Boston's offensive game plan? No movement, no plays, nothing. I feel like I'm watching Lakers/Minny again.
