Wasn’t able to watch, but I see a lot of things in that box score that I really like.

Just realized Kanter has 18 rebounds. When was the last time a Cs big had 18 rebounds???

Last Celtic with 18 or more rebounds in a game was Jared Sullinger 12/7/2015 with 20.

Not gonna lie but the Jared Sullinger era feels like 10 years ago. Shocked it only been 5 years.

Amir Johnson had 18 a month later on 1/13/2016.  Amir's reign feels equally long ago, even though he was here more recently than Sully.

What's even more impressive about Kanter's 18 rebounds is he did it in only 21 mins.

Romeo is going to have between 0 and 60 points tonight

Looks like I was right once again.

Brown after 26 games:

19.9 PPG
6.9 RPG
2.3 APG
1.2 SPG
50.4% FG%
37.7% 3PT%
76.1% FT%
60.3% TS%

Anyone else...besides me....predict this for Jaylen.
Thems All-Star numbers right there, especially when you also consider his excellent defense as well as his versatility on the defensive end.

Mavs lead Sixers by 10 towards end of 3rd.

Man, if we could finish 2nd seed, and Philly 3rd, would let Philly and Bucks duke it out and meet winner in ECF.

Not really. 2nd and 3rd play each other so we would get Philly in the ECSF and then the Bucks in the ECF.

What we want is for Philly to fall to 4th or 5th. That way we would only have to play one of them.

Oh that’s right. Yes. Philly 4th. Thx.

Tacko looked good tonight. He's improved since training camp.

It was a fun blow out game. The bench really stepped up.

Brad really ought to give Tacko some burn and I'm not tacking about Gino time.
I'm thinking 2 to 3 min at the end of the first or third quarters where games have not been decided yet. I believe Tacko can definitely help this team and his Defense on the PNR is decent enough I think.

Man I really liked Jaylen, always believed he had all NBA potential. He was my binkie in the 16 draft. But even I was like "I'll be thrilled with 17 ppg." I don't know if I underestimated him so much as I underestimated how top heavy our offense would be. Kemba/Tatum/Jaylen/Hawyard are like 75%+ of the scoring a lot of nights.

It really is just remarkable how much better his ball handling is. He can get anywhere he wants on the court and get to his shot. Now I will say he's shown flashes of actually having a pretty advanced handle in the past, cross overs, in and outs, that sort of thing. But his functional handle is so much tighter.

Tacko has quick feet for a guy his size.
