Start the quarters with Mitchell and force the Celtics to make a decision on whether to get into foul trouble early or not.

I wasn't going to count out celtics but heads are going to role if the rest of the games are like this.

If the Knicks make a run early in the 4th quarter, PTSD will kick in for Celtics and they'll fall apart. Again. :lol:

What was this? Did someone else make a game thread and jinx the season?

This what I've been saying. That's coaching, playing chess, and making quick adjustments.

It’s sort of the stupid person’s view to do the same stuff in G3 when you have the champs on the ropes

A good and creative gameplan requires you to come with something surprising but that’s not something Thibs can do

We were lucky to win Detroit so it’s “dangerous” for a guy like Thibs to win games that are questionable bc it cements that he won’t try to keep the opponent off balance with something new

Thibs really should be making this adjustment, we are so much better on defense with Mitch out there

We've been down 20+ every game and now Boston is awake, not going to end well.

It starts with the best player!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

He’s hasn’t been good all series!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Game 4 is a legacy game for him imo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If he continues to play like this we need to start having some tough conversations soon!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If they hack Mitch on every possession for an entire game we’d score maybe 25 or 30 points in the game
