I'd rather see Brown taking it to hoop against a tough defender than Tatum. Tatum's work at the hoop is more nuanced and his athleticism frees up his shot quite often. Lately, the refs have not been giving him many fouls on these moves. On the other hand, Brown goes through defenders and can...

I don't know exactly what your point is though... every team needs a player like Brown who can drive the lane and take the defense with him. I don't think stats like the ones you've posted take into account how these outside shooters have such high shooting percentages. It might have something...

Did everyone see this? Am I the only one who thought of Giselle?

No way. He got bumped, took two steps and then jumped into Tatum. The contact might not have been intentional but the type of contact was. He went up like a CB defending a pass.

He might've been bumped, but it looked to me like he jumped a bit as well. You get bumped, you stumble, you don't usually leave your feet like that. Does anyone have a .gif of that play?

Tatum was doubled almost every time he touched the ball. He only posted up against that double team a few times. I don't think he was selfish in this game. You don't get a triple-double if you don't pass the ball. Tatum's problem was his terrible shooting. I think Brown going to the hoop was a...

Tatum scored his first career playoff triple-double... yet somehow it felt like he had a crappy game. How many dumb passes did he make anyway? 3 or was it 4? I was pretty surprised with how many points he ended up with considering how terribly he shot. FGs were 7-18 (38.9%) and he was a pitiful...

You're talking about a Celtics team that lost to several teams this year when those teams lost leading scorers before the game. If anything, they seem to play worse when the opposing team loses star players.

I don't get why Smith's 3 year $75 Million contract extension should upset Brown, who signed a 4 year $100 Million contract extension in 2022 with 2024 being one of his mega payout years (the other being the imaginary one that he'll never see at the end). The AAV numbers are pretty close.

I hope they've tested the water cooler in the Pittsburgh WR room for lead.

Hauser hasn't been shooting well since he almost blew out his ankle. You have to wonder if it's not still bothering him.

For some reason, I could've sworn it was Sunday night. Did they change it to Monday?

Last nights game is what I'm talking about. The second stringers wanted this win and played their asses off. I expect to see more of the same Sunday. The biggest problem with that is that Jordan, Queta & Davison will be in Portland, ME Sunday for the G League championship game - unless the...

Maybe. But do you really need film on leaving Hauser isolated one-on-one in the high post with Giannis?? Do we need to know that isn't going to work? I'm pretty sure they did it twice in the Bucks game.

The starters don't appear to be interested in playing defense. Pritchard has one gear - overdrive - and he always plays tough D. Just sit the starters if they want a break. Treating these games like a shootaround can't be good for the team with the playoffs right around the corner, especially...
