I realize this is an all star game but it’s funny how nick nurses annoying player usage still rears it’s head in the all star game. It’s not like we don’t have another capable talented guard on the bench but he opts for small ball. only way to justify playing kemba is if butler was hurt.


If you look at both teams, they went with all starters and one old guy (Lowry on our team, CP3 on the other). I think it's just unwritten to go with the starters in the stretch of the 4th. Lowry and CP3 are veterans and were left in there as respect over Trae and Doncic.

No need to dissect this game like it was a finals matchup. If anything, shows us how vulnerable Celtics are with Kemba as their closer. :lol:

Kemba shouldn't have played over Butler, but Butler was so bad to start the game. 4 straight turnovers or something. I missed the second and third for the most part.


He tried to bully ball several times to start the fourth, and it was totally ineffective against intense D. Then he started to purposely hide from the ball. Mentally weak. Were taking down the Bucks in the ECF.

My thought as well, Jimmy is clutch and would have hit some shots in the post plus can guard better than Kemba.

Nurse's decision to play choker Kemba may have cost them the game. Should have been Jimmy.

Reminds me of what's going to happen with McCaw/Davis in the playoffs

So the children of Team Giannis won’t get the same education as Team Lebron?

Poooor poor children.

I think it was amusing that the refs called a charge on Kawhi/Lowry but did not call the more obvious Lebron charge on Lowry.

Kemba and siakam should have been pulled in the fourth tbh. Especially on the last possession on d.

The last 15 points of that reminded me of the Philly series. Just ugly offence. I like out chances coming out of the east. Only Miami has a true closer.

A sign that maybe we should be rooting for the Clippers to come out of the West?
