Watching True Grit instead of this beat down.

They’re down six. Shooting 2-16 from 3. They definitely have a shot.

True Grit is a great movie

Yeah, both of them!

My NBATV feed is warped anyways.

The Nuggets aren't playing particurly well. To the credit of Thompson (and others) they have done a good job on Jokic.
Porter Jr missed a lot of makeable shots, he's inconsistent.

TBH I don't think we're playing all that poorly.  We need to attack the basket more - that's when we were having the most success - but we've also just missed a lot of pretty good shots.  Both teams have, really.

Defense is okay.  Not concerned about Porter taking 14 shots to get 13 points.  More concerned with the fact that they've missed a lot of good shots.  Would also like to see us turn them over more.

Well it's a given that the C's will go down by double digits at some point.  I feel like almost every game I'm willing the C's to get back into the game.  Shooting 11% from 3 against a good team should spell disaster but somehow it isn't, yet.  Come out strong Celtics.  Time to bring Kemba off the bench and let him earn his minutes.

We can’t let jokic get into the game in the 2nd half.

Yeah... I think he'll have something to say before the end of the game.  He's too good to stay quiet for long. 

On the other hand, Tatum and Brown haven't done much either.  So when he wakes up, hopefully we can match him.

Jokic > JT & JB

Bad challenge...

[Neurotic Guy]

Ball was not going (btw - a shot Kemba should never miss) but Rob might have got there too soon.

Looked like the edge of the ball was still over the cylinder.

[Atzar]

Kemba has been getting dusted off the bounce and that can't happen as easily as it has lately.  I can live with guys shooting over him from time to time.  But he needs to stay in front of his man much better.

Brown looks slow...half asleep

Nice Kemba!
