I like shai taking the pull up three even though he missed it.

So this is my first game of the season where I’ve really been able to sit down and really watch it.

Just a few notes from the first few minutes:

You can tell Adam is slowing down. Maybe he is saving himself and will go really hard in his contract year, but it seems like he’s slacking. He’s not setting those crisp screens I’m used to seeing. Also, what was that shot he threw up? Gross.

If it means we keep on our own pick, keep doing it, Shai!

The best part of these jerseys is that my eye isn’t immediately drawn to the truck stop patch.

Can't make free throws...

I love when shai plays confident.

Great first half, but man, how did we blow that 4-on-1 fastbreak at the end without scoring? Could/should be up 11 at the half.

I’m sure shai wishes he had that one over.

Yeah, he should've given it up. He had three trailing teammates with no Celtic in sight.

Gallo is a damn problem
I love that dude’s game so much, having him as a 4 with this team is a perfect match

He’s extremely awkward looking at times but very effective.

One critique I have of Paul is he’s had some really odd unforced turnovers this year.

Tatum has developed in to such a good player. Very enjoyable to watch when he’s not torching your team.

Hopefully Bazley’s injury isn’t too serious. I feel like I’ve seen some growth from him lately that hasn’t shown up in stat sheet. He’s made some really nice moves that he wasn’t able to finish but that’s leaps and bounds better than early in the year.

Our defense has been very solid today. Hami looking good on his recoveries. He didn’t look trash as someone else said he was. Is he usually trash? I don’t know. But he is looking good today.

He’s been pretty bad since he came back from his injury. He’s had a tendency to drive in to traffic and force contested shots.

Diallo and garbage can Nader playing all these minutes over Bazley and Dort is atrocious coaching / rotations

Bazley is hurt and Dort has four fouls.
