    Shump honestly hasn't joined the team yet. House and Shump hopefully are there, healthy and locked in at the end of things.

    We knew that Boston wouldn't just lay down, but man I can't stand watching us do ISO-offense for an entire half. Ack. It's like we just go away from EVERYthing that's working and just play to protect a lead, instead stepping on their throats.

    Harden fouling out is the only way he will get any rest .

    Huge mistake IMO by MDA to play him the whole 3rd . Luckily we got away with it

    It wasn't a half ... it was maybe 1.25 quarters.

    We played well in the third but weren't aggressive enough attacking the basket/ the refs pushed Boston back in the game

    you can't go away from what was working though. It just won't work, you can't run every single play as an iso. I could see everybody else just sighing as they had to watch.

    AMazing win, the zebras ONCE AGAIN try to make the game about themselves. James and PJ not having any of it doe

    This was as bad if not worst then a Scott Foster reffed game. The NBA will do what it can to give the large franchise Celtics a helping hand

    Shout out to Stevens and D'antoni for not using any of their timeouts late in the game, nullifying the entire reason the refs singlehandedly brought Boston back in the game.

    That was an impressive win, given the 5 on 8 in the 2nd half.

    We didn't really do that though .

    At times I thought harden got a little iso centric ... but it wasn't egregious IMO

    I have noticed over the last 5 games or so Harden hasn't been getting the calls he was like a month ago. The worst thing is, Harden should have had most of those calls.

    Tatum has regressed so much thanks to the cancerous huge ego chucker named kyrie.

    It was egregious in the 4th.. Rockets were up 22 to start the 4th then the refs got a snap chat from Silver.
