The modern NBA's not like that, though. 10pt runs happen in 60 seconds of game-time, and can be due to nothing more than random variance.

Got to play all 48.

Very true, but I'm glad we're at least the team up 15 and having to keep their guard up rather than down 15 and having to scramble for a big run.

Definitely. Win the third, leave no doubt.

Hope this aggression continues in the 2nd half. SPO is going to counter this.

Great quarter but closed it weakly. Bad shot by marcus, and iso by TAtum, and they scored the last 5. Other than that, I'll take another half just like that one.

Not sure what the hell Tatum was doing the last couple minutes, but other than that, excellent half

Went back to the same old trash on offense for those last few minutes. Pounding away the clock before settling for bad Tatum jumpers.

Tatum has been ok on offense and terrible on defense. Needs to get with it.

That Tatum end of quarter 3...what is it with the modern nba player that loves to take fade-away 3s off the bounce at the buzzer? Just take a runner and get something Going to the basket there. Makes no sense.

I'm pissed off, we should have been up 20 but they sliced it to 13 again. All I wanted was for the guys to end that half strong but they took their foot off the pedal a bit again.

But I like that half overall. Gotta start out really freaking strong in the 3rd.

They need to set a screen every play on offense. This ISO crap against set D hasn't worked all playoffs unless the absolute worst defenders are on the scorer.

Once again, winning time.

We got our asses kicked.

There's no way I'm happy going from a wide open 3 away from a 20 point lead to look like we don't even care we're playing the game and go into the half up 13.

Not at last game

Not down 1-0

Not against a team without an MVP

**** PATHETIC EFFORT

"Spo outcoached Stevens in those final two minutes of half yet again." -- Celtics fans, probably

Stevens needs to move away from his isolation clock management offense. It is garbage.
