It's so important to have a PG who can beat his guy off the bounce, which is why Smart will never be good as a PG. He's a utility guy who really defends. Has value, but a PG he is not. Thankfully, Schroder is tearing it up.

smart is tearing it up too. no thanks in not being a scorer in today's nba huh?

I like Smart. Just saying he lacks an essential component for being a good PG. With him, the ball swings around the perimeter.I like a PG who can put pressure on the defense and beat his guy off the bounce. Doesn't mean I don't like Marcus. Just not as a PG.

lordy please. i hate every time rob lands!!

i was worried too at first. but then i saw Grant smiling so figured rob was fine.

unless rob is injured but Grant was smiling anyways - in which case Grant must be cut immediately! #halfkidding

indy doing its job for us. need more of the top teams to lose. jazz let me down. orlando too but that was a longshot from inception!

[Dogen]

Pritchard has been a complete non factor this year. I understand the broken nose has not helped him, but dang, he's been a zero. Romeo was okay, even though his shot is not falling. I think there's a lot more to his game, and if we're just patient, it'll eventually come together for him.

Maybe he was mainly Ainge's guy. In any case, I'm not too worried, he needs to get his shot going and can contribute as a role player. Get back on track and get his 92 points.

Dennis so good. Timelord so good. Brown so good. Horford looking good. Celtics defense looking good. Cmon Tatum get it together!

you know brown and horford aren't playing tonight, right?

Yeah, I meant in general this season how well they have played.

i figured..but it wasn't totally clear from your post so just checkin ..

[Shak_Celts]

[zoyathedestroya]

[Red2]

Challenge?

[zoyathedestroya]

OK probably a block but I applaud the effort

[Ben-N1ce]

He's clearly outside the circle..we'll see. Worth a chalkenge since it's an and 1

he was late and leaned a little to take it in the chest.

[Hal14]

are you f&cking kidding me? if that isn't a charge, what is?

looking at the replay, grant got to the spot before allen, his feet were set and he was well outside of the restricted area.

damn!

[Dogen]

Challenge?

Yeah, that was Draymond Green level stuff by Grant. How is that not offensive?

[Red2]

Wow Schroeder got clobbered and no call

[Shak_Celts]

when tatum goes it looks good. w.e the move, when he just goes its pretty.

[Red2]

Nice Tatum!

[Red2]

Wtf was that Tatum???

[Red2]

Time out

[Shak_Celts]

backside has to see that.

[zoyathedestroya]

Grant helps on the PnR, no one sucked into the paint to cover his man.
