Celtics (17-7) at Mavericks (18-8) Game #25 12/18/19

Porzingis is destroying the Cs tonight. They have no answer for him.

Seems Brown was bothering him some in the 1st half.

[PAOBoston]

Kemba/Brown/Tatum have 55 of the 68 points right now

[RPGenerate]

Seem to be doing better with Enes on the floor

Yup, and it has been the case for a lot of the games this season.  We play really solid ball with him on the floor despite his defensive shortcomings.

I agree. Not sure why he doesn't get more run than he does

Because he's really bad on defense. He's working now because the Mavs have no perimeter offense without Luka.

He is individually quite bad, especially on the perimeter, but our defence doesn't seem to struggle with him on the court.

Go Grant!

Don't think I've ever seen Wanamaker pass on a fast-break when he has the opportunity to shoot

[PAOBoston]

Good way to close the quarter

[Atzar]

In fairness, nobody was running with him and he was 1-on-1.  I don't mind the fact that he shot there.



On a separate note, why was Powell b----ing there?  He had Kemba by the head.  There was nothing to dispute.

Grant Williams scores 5 straight points, then stops penetration and forces a bad shot by Dallas.

Yeah, he's the point guard version of Marcus Morris.

The shot will come around.  I sincerely believe that.  And when it does, we'll have a very useful player on our hands.  I was a fan of him in college and I'm still a fan of him now, despite the 0-for-whatever start he had from three.

Grant Williams was fantastic that quarter

Probably just leftover anger from the tech? I would assume at least.

Ha, true. Thankfully less of a hothead and more efficient (but also less talented)

[Tr1boy]

I want Brad to have Tatum handle the ball on buzzer beaters

Kemba is just not very good in that situation unless open

Blocked everytime at the net

He was surprised he didn't get yet another call....

Grant sets a pretty mean screen
