If Cleveland out attempts Boston from the Foul line, Boston will have the record for being out shot for 21 games in a row (If I heard correctly)

Boston's live and Die from 3 says Hello.

Meanwhile, I will make it my mission to "demand" Boston re-start Minott. The man has shot 60+ and 50+% from 2 and 3 the last 10 games and still is one of the better defenders and finishers we have. Also think he should play certainly more than his 16min per average.
2 things need to go.. my lack of spell check and Joe.. :nod:

I do like Walsh but I think Minott may be the better overall player at this point. I’ll second giving him the starters spot.

He's scoring much more efficiently than Hauser, defending better than Hauser and rebounding better than Hauser but plays less minutes. Ugh

Looks like Amari, Harper Jr and Shulga are all with the Boston Team.
Maine played at 3pm today, and none were present.

Interesting. My guess is Garza starts and so does Simons. Not saying that is my choice.

With the Cavs being such a Big team upfront, you would think Amari gets at least 20 min. Garza will be in foul trouble quickly.

Amari Williams vs Jarrett Allen and Evan Mobley ... LETS GO, lol
and with White out, we may even see Ron Harper Jr because we're going to be short on point guard

I can see Garza Starting, for the continuity, and Amari coming in for some good mins.
We need another Big, though. We used Minott, last time. IDK if we'll do that, again?

Big game for Simons with White out. Let’s see that scoring creation.
TBH, Baylor and/or Josh may ball out and Anf still may not play a ton, but I’ll take anyone stepping up. Doesn’t really matter who.

Noooo!! White may be up and down, but he’s miles better than whatever we’d have in his place! Sure Simons can move up, but that just leaves his spot EMPTY!!!! Ffs


Edit: matter of fact, who tackled white???? Curse on their car, may the engine fall out, while it sits in the driveway (don’t wish injury lol)!

It hasn't been announced but I think:

Pritchard
Scheierman
Walsh
Brown
Garza

First career Baylor start, I'm guessing

Celtics 3rd in 3s attempted per game this season at 43.1 per game
https://www.nba.com/stats/teams/traditional?PerMode=PerGame&dir=A&sort=FG3A

last year they set a record (right?) at 48.2 per game
https://www.nba.com/stats/teams/traditional?PerMode=PerGame&Season=2024-25&dir=A&sort=FG3A

Don't have stats for midrange jumpers, but aren't we the middy team now?

Either way: jumpers won't get you to the line, unless you're Harden or SGA. Jaylen flirted with getting quite a few FTs off of elbow jumpers early this season, but then I guess pissed off enough refs that he now shouldn't expect nearly as many going forward. Bummer that!

If that team doesn't have "top 3 pick" potential, nothing does 8-)
