Simple request, guys. No need to complicate this lol.

Or anyone else who saw the plays. Open question.

Simons, when he sets it up, holds onto the ball waaay too long.
He does it quiet a bit. Plenty of examples. :wink:

How great is it that even when Walsh gets his 3rd foul you say "No problem. Time to put in Hugo."?
and that's "MR. Irrelevant" to you!!

They didn’t let the Toronto momentum get to them and kept pushing! Love it!

I missed Walsh's 3rd Foul. But, the 2nd one was a useless Foul.

Mazzulla is trading offense for defense with Simons. It’s working. It’s just odd all the Celtics flying around on defense and one guy just standing there

In his defense (no pun!) he's often in the game in situations of sub-optimal offensive options, and may be the primary ballhandler and scorer.

Having said that, he needs to better. Especially out there with Scheierman for example. They should be building some rapport as bench mates. Baylor is not getting enough touches to initiate the offense and I'd rather see Simons off ball more when possible.

What do y'all think about, when an offensive player fishes for Fouls?
To me, sometimes it gets to be too much.

Yeah. We haven't been using Scheierman too much on-ball.
He can do it. Just needs more time doing it.

For sure. James Harden on the Rockets was unwatchable, for this reason, among others

Ingram is tough today, making some contested shots
