Laker games should be fun this year if they rack up the losses.

I think one of the commentators said they’re 30th on defence and 2nd offensively. The reverse of what we’ve been this season

I'm a big fan of Dame, but not a big fan of pairing him with McCollum. McCollum seems to me to just be a 90% version of Lillard

I have a general question for everyone regarding the ridiculous pace of play throughout the league.   We can point to the freedom of movement rule or 14 second shot clock after offensive rebounds, but the real cause of high scoring is the absurd pace.  To put things in perspective, the Pelicans led the NBA in pace last season, yet their pace from 2017 would only rank 20th so far this season.

Doesn't this trend only help the Celtics in the long run, especially in the Eastern Conference?  Coach Stevens isn't going to sacrifice defensive principles and smart basketball for the sake of getting up more shots.  We all know the pressure of the postseason leads to a more physical and slower paced brand of basketball.  It's also no surprise that the Raptors are undefeated, yet one of the "slowest" paced teams in the league. 

Personally I would love to see the Celtics play faster once they develop chemistry between the starting 5.  However, there always needs to be some sort of balance.  Most of these others teams are going to be lost when the shots aren't falling.

I’ve been thinking about this as well. All these teams that want to run and gun will look different towards the end of season. Playoff basketball is a different animal. The C’s defensive mindset won’t change and winning games in the 90s won’t be a problem.

Marcus Morris winning us games while Markieff Morris is hurting us by blowing a game against the Kings with a travel.


Wizards were down 2 with under 10 seconds left when Morris traveled.  Kings shoot free throws to go up 4, Wall hits a 3 so Wiz only down 1, Kings miss and make some more free throws, so up 2.

Wizards with the ball down 2 with 2.4 seconds left.  Wizards could still win (but have to inbound and go the length of the court), but our good friend Jeff Green says not on my watch, and throws the ball out of bounds, Kings win  :-\

After 18 months with their Bigs, the Littles were: 46% less likely to use illegal drugs, 27% less likely to use alcohol, 52% less likely to skip school, 37% less likely to skip a class

Jeff Green continues to just be a dang thorn in our side. Decides to mysteriously show up in the playoffs for the Cavs, and now this.

Hurry up and retire Jeff
