White is shooting atrocious all season. He's def better than he's shown.

I told you about shooting, it’s a fickle thing. I screamed FOR YEARS, let LBJ cook in first halves, he will tire when it’s closing time. It was the way to beat him! Never get too cocky when you light up the first half, you need every bit of energy for the second half. That’s one reason why the Jays complement each other, Brown usually does his thing in the first half and Tatum closes. You need balance.

I think that Mazzulla is going to Roll with who he has, for now.
González likely plays more, next Game.

It's still early in the season..*but* it eventually we may want to return PP to the 6th man role and put Simons in the starting lineup.

If there continues to be this kind if gap between them as scorers/shot makers..and if Simons continues to be decent on D, then it might be the right move.

Pritchard was awesome as a 6th man..he might not be starter material..
Nothing wrong with having a different opinion - as long as it's done respectfully. It'd be lame if we all agreed on everything :)

He’s too small, Celtics need size due to the rebounding issues

I Have seen every game. My honest opinion is both players are pressing too much and shooting a bit too quick. The quality of shots is not as good as if tatum or playing.
2 things need to go.. my lack of spell check and Joe.. :nod:

Well, I don't know. Maybe a Sam Adams would be good about now.

Because the shots we were hitting in the first half aren’t going in.

He doesn't have Jrue next to him.

Celtics going to have to score 125 points to win in my opinion. That’s 27 points

Queta just in general has bad hands..he held onto the ball nicely though on that 1 play where like 4 cavs were all trying to rip it away from him..
