    A lot of variance in heavy 3pt shooting teams

    three of the team's best defenders are out. It makes sense the defense was going to take a hit

    The urbanization of Tilmans kiddy island is getting out of control. Tilman is like the worst mix of Puff n Eppy

    as a sarcasm-free poster, I can neither condemn nor condone this comment. But it does strike me as an accurate description of reality

    This is what it would look like regularly for our defense if we trade away 2/3 of our better defenders between Amen, Tari and Jabari

    The Celts are shooting 52% from 3 (with 12 makes) and have 1 TO in the first half. You should be up by more than nine points. Credit to the Rockets for hanging around.

    Really does feel like a long time since we've heard Bootscootin' Boogie from the TC speakers

    Man, that unnecessarily clumsy few minutes following the Celts successful challenge was really annoying.

    We kept forcing weird sht and our halfcourt sets were so bad. We're #1 in the league in Missed Opportunities.

    Can’t play Tate because you know a 3pt foul is going to happen soon as game gets close

    Hurts that Amen and Bari is out cause they would be switching with Tatum

    That's what I'm thinking. You would hope that wouldn't be sustainable, especially with the Celtics themselves being shorthanded and having played last night.
