    That seems like a good playoff kind of defense if you ask me, that's what the Celtics can do well, as for us, we better be ready for the postseason because that's how the games will be called most of the times.

    i've seen enough of these games. the team with the lead almost always just barely holds onto the game but screws up just enough to lose. you knew tucker would miss a free throw to give the celtics a chance and you know, for the mvp narrative, kyrie is hitting this in james' eye. we lose in OT after another james brick step back 3.

    He has to because otherwise he's gonna get blocked. Driving straight to the left? That **** ain't working anymore, big men are anticipating that move more often than not. Harden got nothin' other than jacking up threes.

    This is when we need to have a big man in the game and get the ball to the post.

    Harden is a step slower now than he was at the beginning of the game - you see the difference Chris Paul makes. That slight slow down means he can't get around the guy and that's why he can't finish or gets blocked.

    He's tired
