Hmmm, Mitchell Robinson out for the season for the Knicks. I missed that one.

Kornet for Quickley, get it done Brad! :lol:

We are scoring well but I don't think it's even our first 74 point half and there's been a number of games where we scored close to 70 in the first half.

Might be right but I am guessing that was last year during one of those redonkioulus three point shooting displays where we were 70% from 3 in a half. Just running it up to the top of the key and launching .

These two teams combined might not shoot as many free throws as Embiid did tonight.

Of course you can push the ball instead of walk it up the court wasting half the clock before somebody even moves.

We are shooting 58% from the three that's why we have 74.
Also we are not fouling which is what makes the offense look so much faster.

This is if of interest to me. Where did you see that Mitch is done for the year?

Edit: (He's maybe still played a lower percentage of games than KP to the end of his 6th year if so. Meh, not quite. 286 for KP (including a whole missed season and , 320 for Mitch.)

[edit] Ok, found it, so Shams. ty for the headsup

I swear i need what some of you have been smoking lately. as soon as we mess up you'll switch the blame from jt. just absurd takes! jb continuously performs poorer on +/-, so we have played better without him for seasons, rightful with SOME of the criticism. to say it about jt is baffling! we went iso to end it, white just hit the shot.

Celts17Pride · Post #270 » by **Celts17Pride** » Thu Dec 21, 2023 4:18 am

Very nice first half, especially the 2nd quarter. Keep it up!!

Yep, get used to initiating offense early instead of with 12-14 secs left.

Someone on the Kings drinking a bottle of coke during the game.

I think it's the part where White drove it and Tatum consistently settles for pullup threes for EOQs is the main difference.
