i just cant with smart anymore.  ugh.

He’s just a little loosey goosey. Maybe be conditioning. He’s forcing it.

I wonder too if he feels PP breathing down his neck. Kid is gonna get minutes.

he was literally calling for the last second 3 to the half.   he should never shoot that unless forced.  he just doesnt get it.

Celtics FG 58.1% 3PT 40%
Wash FG 43.2% 3PT 30.8%

Benches
Celtics 40 minutes 17 pts
Wash 36 minutes 8 pts

Tacko fall 10:27 min 2 pts (fg 50%) 1 reb 1 foul 3 BLOCKS

I was trying to think of a nickname for Tacko when I realized his name was well, his name is a nickname.

For moment at the end of the half..

Theis
Tatum
Brown
Smart
Semi were playing a zone looking defense. That group of guys are so very tight on defense. They cover each other so well. Of course Wiz turned it over for the 11th time.

I forgot about Nesmith.  Why isn't he on the court?

Because Brad also forgot about him

if the celtics keep this lead he will get minutes.

i think that he as only played a few games total in the past year (covid eliminating games), had virtually no training camp, and he has trouble with the speed of the nba game. not unusual for a rookie.

as he learns more and picks upon the speed of the nba game he will get minutes and make some good 3 point shots.

Nice flurry to start the third by Semi. 

[Phantom255x]

OMG a great start to a 3rd quarter?? 

[slamtheking]

C's looking dominant even with a really depleted roster tonight.  everyone stepping up to make positive contributions.  great to see

[esel1000]

Just tuning in, I see the Wizards are complete garbage.

[cltc5]

This looks fun.  Bring back IT

[hwangjini_1]

semi is the man this quarter. good to see him finally contribute offensively.

if he keeps this up he will be very valuable to the team.

this is what I expected after they traded for Westbrook.  he doesn't bring winning with him

Scott Brooks: "So the Tacko guy is on the bench and this Semi guy comes in and scores 8 points in a minute and 20 seconds."

[slamtheking]

brown got pushed in the back on that.  should be an And-1
