It’s crazy we have legit MVP caliber scorers next to a MVP caliber floor general. Look at those Suns teams and they existed to finish Nash plays. Here our guys are fine existing outside of the offense with the shooting and IQ to exist within. Most of their assist don’t come from passing to each other but the rest of the team.

Good win. Very sloppy start, lots of turnovers and Harden definitely wasn't confined to his hotel during the all star break.

But then scary hours happened and it's just what this team does.

Celtics just don't matchup well with us. Nice clean win.

Love the chemistry on this team. Even after the slow 1st Q - we all knew the storm was coming. We put 120 regardless.

Shamet was huge tonight - replacing Harris' production. Felt like he hit a lot of big momentum swinging shots. Crazy part is Celtics were STILL doubling off of him because they were scared of Harden/Kyrie :lol:

Really hope Claxton keeps getting time. Some sloppiness today but I see the potential every time he's out there. This guy could REALLY help us.

How do we fit Blake in the rotation with the way the team is playing? :lol:

These Frankenstein lineups are starting to pay dividends...

How triggered do you have to be as a celtics fan to watch Kyrie absolutely ether you for the second time, and then watch every player on the celtics rush over to give kyrie hugs and dap and love after the game in a nets blowout win?

Not only that, but has consistently taken a giant dump on all the celtics best defenders. Smart got abused by him both games. Brown got abused by him. Tatum got torched.

Makes it even sweeter that Kemba was awful on both ends and finished with just 11 points.

Tell us again how Kyrie was a cancer, how his teammates hated him, and how Kemba is better

LOL :lol:

Correct.

Why? He was playing games before he was bought out, wasn't he?

Yes, he was averaging 31mpg before they say him the last 3 weeks. I know, it's kind of an illogical excuse to not play a guy, but obfuscation is the Marks way.

Really, they just want time for a recent acquisition to learn the system and acclimate.
Some people really have a way with words. Other people... not... have... way.

Kemba looks bad. I actually like him since he's a local guy so i am kind of shocked at how his game has tanked this badly.

OH WELL :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: !!!!!!!!!!!!

I've been saying it for a while... He's no longer a starting caliber player. If Boston made him their 6th man they'd instantly see some improvement.

King: Kyrie. someone should call the caps with how bad he gutted them

Knight: Shamet. not just hitting all the threes... but some big momentum ones to boot

Jester: Our enitre Center rotations hands. we had a billion fumbles on interior passes and big to big passes. we win by a 100 otherwise.

Tyler Johnson gave us some good minutes. he has really proven to be a solid part of this rotation.

Only person I've ever seen who can easily have a 60/60/100 night if he's feeling it...all while getting those shots in a myriad of different ways.

He actually has the best scoring skillset in the history of the sport in terms of a full package.











...And we might just have 2 other players that deserve to be in the Top 10 all time scoring skillsets on the same team :o
