HUGE mins for us tonight when KAT needed someone else to contribute.

He was good

Missed the big 3 but that’s okay

He was an afterthought basically for Tom

I was about to post this. Addition by subtraction, Delon gave good minutes.

I will keep saying that if it makes us come back and win. I’ll take the L for the team

He has had a bad series!

I will keep slandering KAT if it means he is able to have games like this. I will take the L for the team.

I'm just saying...feed me the KAT crow when we win this series. We need this KAT all the time. He's not allowed to have a shytty game 2 and then all this crow after a great game 3. We need him to do this G4, G5, G6, Gwhatever...

I think you’re right. But perhaps the coaching staff was all in agreement tonight?

Expanding the rotation says to me that they had a long conversation

You sure some of it didn't happen by circumstance?

Deuce had 3 fouls in under 2 minutes of playing time in the 1st quarter. He had to play Delon. It worked out because Delon was playing smart like a veteran.

Well he racks up foul after foul

let's not get down 20pts again...how about that? Sounds like a good idea to me.

Foul trouble for our 2 best players, down by 20 and still win the game. Incredible

one of them has to be the leader of the 2nd unit

surround brunson with 4 defenders and do the same for KAT

Yep.

Hard to do that with your two all Stars

1st q both play at the start

then one of them sits and the other one stays and fill out personnel needed; jalen and KAT dont play well with each other anyway

the front office needs to get some cheap and effective forwards wings and center

OG swatting that weak sh*t from Nesmith and barking at him was amazing. Finally we’re standing up to these cornballs

I felt that too. One argument on the contrary though...we banished Cam Payne.

Not psycho?

I think coming off the bench helped Hart too, he only played 34 minutes and had some back breaking rebounds in the 4th where he was flying for them. He played the entire 4th and looked fresh for the first time in forever.

We cant listen to the game announcers or the post-game cause all they do is sht on us and root for the pacers

I really dont like the pacers. I respect the Celtics they are actually a good team that won a championship. Pacers can fck off.

What KAT did ignited the whole team

And to be honest, and no hate at JB, but if he doesn’t leave the game, I don’t think it happens

Thibs really needs to go, don’t care about the results anymore

Shout out to our bench including Hart, Deuce, Delon Wright and Shamet. Especially Hart he played even better than the last game as a starter, mad respect to the guy and that huge rebound late in the game was just crazy.

LOL, Carlisle acknowledging that Wright, Shamet, and McBride are good defenders

Yeah, he’s been very inconsistent which is why he has a negative net rating in the playoffs. He hasn’t put together two good games in a row. We need him to do this consistently.
