Marv doesn't know who's playing.

Neither does Biden , and he is pres.

Did the qualitative stuff I brought up about Fournier in previous threads rear its head tonight? Slept past the game and saw that playoff Fournier was in full force tonight in the box score.

That wasn’t a playoff game. Let’s see how he does in the series vs the Nets.

I thought we had a solid game and over came some in game adversity.   Tatum really played some D.   This teams me the team might have been sand bagging on D all year.   Still we will find out next series.

I thought the shortened rotation helped us immensely and still think we ought to clean house on the bench crew in the off season.   Why can't we ever get the Ish Smith veteran?

I liked Gafford in the draft and he is going to be a NBA player for a long time.

So Tatum has to score what? 40 efficiently? For us to have a chance.

Tatum is absolutely scoring 40.  And scoring efficiently shouldn’t be an issue against the Wizards.  Scoring enough might be, but whatever the result, I’m sure the C’s will have scored efficiently.  The key to this game is stopping Washington’s dribble penetration.  They’re 5th in the NBA in points in the paint, and it’s not because of Alex Len, or even Robin Lopez.  I really hope Time Lord is able to go tonight to increase the degree of difficulty on those drives, and that we don’t lose contact with their shooters on all the resulting kickouts.

I think we’re going to win by at least 15 tonight.

We've found our sage

Well I said if the Celts were going to win the play-in and make the first round only to get their butts kicked, I hoped it would be a result of Tatum playing out of his mind.

Mission accomplished.

i vote for danny to replace CBS with pho.

Let me be clear, I would take the money.  But I would be sure that contract was guaranteed because I would be fired very quickly.
