    This was a bad looking game. It was clear that the Heat's defense was to stop anything going into the paint, which makes it more difficult for Sengun to score (although he still scored well enough on good efficiency). It would really help his game if we had some shooters that can keep the defense honest. Having Tate in the starting line up kills our offensive. We really need more shooters.

    Yes, Tate is like a forbidden fruit, he is good on Defense in most games but he is really super limited in other areas, mainly shooting and Offense.

    Heat clearly game planned to take away the PnR. They were specifically setting the defense up so FVV can't make the pocket pass safely. Also Fred shot 50 percent from 3, can't believe you are blaming him for that.

    Fred has never been shy about feeding Sengun, but it was hard to get the ball to him this game so someone has to take the shots and he made a ridiculous amount of 3's to keep us in it.

    I think he has been shooting well for the last 3 games.

    Basketball is a universal sport. The important thing is that we are talking about basketball :) basketball unites us all, even though we have differences of opinion.

    Should I be surprised to see all 5 Celtics starters in the top 50 in a ranking done by Bill Simmons and co? LOL

    Derrick White at 35 is pure comedy

    Honestly, it's a pretty decent list imo.

    I think it’s interesting that Curry, the Suns and Lakers guys are so high yet are either sitting outside the playoffs or currently in the play in. Top 10-15 guys, in my opinion, should be able to do better.

    agree, aside from the celtics homerism the rest isn't too obnoxious. (although dame is way too high)

    They surely are getting a BS bump but Boston looks to be the best team this season and their top 5 are really really good.

    White is like top 15 in every advanced metric on bballref this season. He’s been awesome.

    It's funny you say this because based on this year alone I think Derrick White has been their second best player. I think he's deserving of that spot.

    This people believe that Giannis is 3 inches taller than Alp and Barnes is better player than Sengun.

    Rubbish,
