I lived to see Luka guarding JRUE HOLIDAY like he’s Westbrook.

I don’t want to block you by any stretch, but I wish I could mute every post of yours that mentions Tatum’s name. It’s not personal. I love Tatum. My last post said at his worse he is better than Scottie Pippen. But forcing Luka and Kyrie defend dribble drives is the key to this series. You’re banned from the MAN UP BUS, but I agree with you here. They need to force at least Luka to defend every chance they have. |

I’m not huge on how they played offense in that second quarter, ball movement died down a lot. Probably a lot due to Dallas playing crazy on defense, but the Celtics need to get back to attacking Luka and Kyrie.

I guess I misunderstood you, but that was a clear moving screen. I called that in real time. Tillman moved a lot more than I saw live lol but NBA refs try to compensate bad non fouls by calling nonsense. It’s one of my many pet peeves with the league. |

Did Mazz challenge that? That’s a bad challenge because it’s a clear foul on Doncic, watch the refs call whatever bullshit on our possession. Not how challenges work. Told you. |

LEGENDARY transition defense by Dallas with 5 seconds left in the quarter. If we sweep or gentleman sweep, they should consider firing Kidd.

Close the paint, foul dudes if you have to. Don’t allow Luka to just softly throw a layup a foot away. Maul him and send him to the line.
The offense still looks fine, shots aren’t falling but we’re still generating better looks than Dallas.

Lethargic start, defend the paint guys.

Kornet is a folk hero, but he shouldn’t play tonight lol. Dallas is a f*ckballing team and their only offense is mismatch hunting. Try to put someone who won’t get exposed.

Now imagine no Irving trade and per rumors we take a certain young star on the Thunder. Which if I remember right was the extra pick from trading down to get Tatum. No, the extra pick from the Tatum deal urned into Romeo Langford. The picks the Cavs used on Sexton was ours, it was a Brooklyn pick believe it or not lol. |

Pick your poison here friends: if something is TORN and he’s day to day, are doing this to throw the Mavs off scouting for Al or is he going to play and we’re doing this to screw them like they did with Luka? Because they know if he’s going to be able to play or not, I refuse to believe otherwise.

Yeah, I think The Porzingod is out. Please don’t play Kornet, go small if you have to.

Eh. I'm sorry friend, they had so much go their way that I don't even consider that hypothesis lol. |

2024 WAR Hunter Renfroe -0.2 David Hamilton 1.2 We won the trade! lol Honestly if David Hamilton is a decent player they won the trade on paper by a mile (as they did with basically every trade Bloom made). Though the issue with that move wasn't really the prospects it was and still remains that Jackie Bradley Jr. as starting outfielder was a bad plan. That was Bloom’s John Lackey trade. It killed him. |

Even if we don’t chip for some bizarre circumstance, how can you not love this team? From Joey Mazz to the last bench guy, everyone is so level headed and humble, just a great group of mature and intelligent guys.
Jrue is a beautiful human being. I was already a fan even back in his Philly days and he has done nothing to dissuade me from that. I remember last season when the Heat were beating the Bucks in a game where Jimmy Butler taunted him about scoring all this points “on his head”. I feel like I understand now that there are some guys you just can’t taunt, they are just immune to that sh*t to a point it doesn’t even register lol.

Luka’s conditioning remains a huge issue for him. He looks exhausted and is making uncharacteristically bad plays. Didn’t even bother to close out on that Jrue three. He still gets almost zero criticism from NBA media for never being in shape and barely trying on defense. The Celtics attacked him relentless tonight, and most of their best offense came when they went directly at Luka. Wcp my friend, how likely is it that Silver got Foster on standby to extend this series? |

Feels like we stole one even though we were at home. How worried should we be about Porzingis? The Celtics were clearly the better team all game long, they got a bit stiff trying to kill time, but I expect them to do better in the next game. We should be worried about The Porzingod. |

Was it Brown, White or the rim who blocked that shot?

Jrue and White are the best defensive backcourt ever. F*ck it, I said it.
