most of that comes with brunson on the bench. I really think we should run more Mikal on ball with Brunson off (brunson is so elite on C&S) we can take advantage of that and helps take some load of brunsons shoulders.

I'm very comfortable with Mikal on ball running P&R as the ball handler.

That's a fact. It's easy to critique Thibs because it's like how haven't we figured out 2 big lineups with Brunson and Mikal having playmaking duties yet? It's right there.


I am tough on Thibs but I get why he likes to roll with Hart for the most part...he just has a knack for making big plays...but this isn't an ideal matchup for him. They want to shoot a lot of 3's and they aren't even guarding him defensively. This series we clearly look better with either Mitch being an interior presence or Deuce just simply the threat of another shooter.

Deuce threat to shoot or Mitch's size are making bigger contributions this series.

Who do you think the Celtics will start in Game 5?

will it be Holiday/White/Brown/Horford/Porzingis?



Good question. KP still looks bad… maybe Pritchard?


KP is duie for a big game, Boston is like a wounded animal and still dangerous.

Interesting wrinkle Mitch was able to play more minutes this game because it looks like he was instructed to only attempt shots on lob situations. Outside of that he was just hitting the boards and passing it out immediately. Nullified the hack a Mitch strategy. Also the refs not calling fouls for Cs early in the quarters winded up keeping Mitch in the game.

Man if some of those early 3 balls go down you are talking about an alltime performance on both ends

Mikal from deep scares me, the only difference in the 4th is he's aggressive about getting to his spots in the mid range usually.

After seeing a bunch of plays run that we didn’t do all season, I have a theory they’re saving some when we make it to the conference finals and even more for the finals.

We were up 3-2 on them and lost with home court advantage in game 7. Even if we weren't 100 percent, a healthy Jalen and Donte should have beaten them.

Haliburton, Millsap, and Turner surrounded with a ton of role players have proven to make a solid team. They seem like overachievers but for whatever reason, but somehow they are getting it done.

Knicks have 7 players they can count on.

Pacers have as many as 10 players getting 10 mpg or more, with 8 of them having played every playoff game thus far. Two of the 10 players (Bennedict Mathurin and Ben Sheppard) have played 8 and 7 games each.

Pacers could really surprise and give us a total nail biter

Under Carlisle they're a very tight knit group, they love playing for each other and for the coach

I think we win in 6 or 7


What are you talking about I think they’ll be favored lol


Not a shot, Knicks have second shortest odds to win chip rite now behind OKC, Indi will go home REAL quick once the matchup is set, we don't be missing 4 of our top 6.

Silver always going to rig the playoffs for the midwesterners who really don't like the NBA but he's always courting to be fans.

On the other hand, their post capitalism depression of living in the former shadow of USA industrial greatness makes them prime candidates to develop sports betting addictions, so we can expect to see a lot more Cavs, Pistons, Pacers in the playoffs!

It's possible. Like it makes no sense to me we'll run 2 big with JB and Precious but not JB with KAT and Mitch.

Everybody better be praying for the Nuggets to beat OKC. That’s the only team we should be concerned about seeing in the Finals
