They're just showing off at this point.

So, if they don't practice how the heck do they have such good chemistry?

Are they having no "official" practices? But actually having unofficial practices where they work with their team mates on the plays etc?

Sometimes they have shootarounds on game day or film sessions during their off day. Assistant coaches also talk to individual players in prep for upcoming opponent. Just no actual practices where they can run through their plays more thoroughly as a team.

Don’t worry yall. I called this fella up and he said he is happy to start tomorrow.

He said just give them their damn eggs and they can be tamed. Them and their flipping fans.

So if you’re going tomorrow, bring eggs.

I suspect they are using semantics to avoid the fact that whatever they are doing is plenty good enough to get the team playing well. I'll chalk that up to Brad.

Do Baynes and Theis have kids? Or maybe they still really enjoy playtime?

I'm not sure why what she wrote doesn't show up, but she mentioned 3 guys "watching" 4 kids. So, I'm guessing there are 2 other kids from someone. And no doubt they probably enjoy playtime!

I assume Smart starts in place of Kyrie.

Good luck scoring against starting lineup of Smart-Brown-Tatum-Horford-Baynes. If Marcus sticks to being a ballmover, screensetter, and post-passer on offense, this board will remain calm.

It looks like the kids painted Marcus Smart shot charts and hung them on the wall

I think the board is going to erupt if we win tomorrow without Kyrie and maybe Horford.

screw calm...I want to see at least 15 shots...8 of which should be long contested threes.

And if he will not, we will not.

I’ll guarantee he rocked up in a pair of these bad boys.

Being the respectful Aussies that we all are, he would have taken them off at the door and left them next to this on the way in...
