Need to close this half out. Dont let this lead get under 20

[Silas]

Tatum with a solid 1st half...20pts,7rebs,3assists,1stl,1blck,
+28...and 0 turnovers.

Kelly O will be a nice addition for the Celtics

I was never a big KO fan, but he would be a great addition as backup to KP who can pass and hit a 3.

God, I love Brissett's energy out there.

just got out of work and starting watching the game
wow we are killing them!

[jpotter33]

Porzingis is an excellent zone buster. The perfect guy to sit in the middle as the passer given his height and length. Could be very helpful against those like Miami in the playoffs.

[jpotter33]

Okay, let's sit Porzingis and Jrue the rest of the second half and let him play tomorrow. Play the Jays and White in the third to sustain the lead, and then get them out late third/early fourth.

A 31 point lead should suffice for that strategy.

[celticinorlando]

No let down in the second half

[liam]

Sweet half!

[Surferdad]

Aw, was hoping to have a doubling at the half 70-35. Came close.

[blink]

JB with a 2nd game in a row with rough shooting.   we need to get him going with some easy baskets.

other than that, we look unstoppable in this game at least.

Definitely.  On top of that both Al and Tatum are great zone busters.  There's no reason for our team to struggle against a zone.  Get one of those players to the middle of the floor and operate.

I don't know why Zinger has the reputation of being a "bad" passer.  Low assist numbers?  He's shown to me that he makes pretty quick decisions, and has made some really nice passes.  Obviously it helps a lot to be surrounded by high IQ and talented players like ours.

[Surferdad]

Excellent bench stints from Kornet, Hauser and Brissett.

[SHAQATTACK]

Joe had a most excellent game plan.

[Silas]

JB, no, no, no...yes!
