This is THE BEST Kemba has looked all season.

He looks AS GOOD AS THE BEGINNING OF LAST SEASON!!!!

I am so pumped to see how fluid, quick and confident Kemba looks. This will really serve us in the playoffs, baby.

And man was it nice to see Aaron Nesmith unlock that sweet 3 point stroke!  Sniper!!!

They made that run without Tatum or Brown. The other guys are really stepping up!!!

Then you are guarding and player rips up through your arm initiating all contact - how is that a foul on guy with arm there first not moving it?  Such a bogus call!

Hate that call. If they had that back when Bird played he goes to the line 20-25 times a game.
Wasn't the rip through one of the things they were going to stop calling as one of the "emphasis" directives that the League puts out at the beginning of a season to the refs, maybe last season?

And yes, if they would have called that a defensive foul in the 80s, Larry Bird would have averaged 25 free throws a game and 50 points a game.

Sing it!

Kemba and Marcus have each attempted 5 3s.  Kemba with 4 good and Smart with 1.  Marcus please stop shooting 3s and continue to play good D and get assists.
Marcus this season shoots 3.55, Kemba 3.45.

It evens out over the season/game :)

They should keep taking them even if they miss. It keeps the defence honest. And when it doesn't, it'll start going in because they get enough space!

They emphasised it no longer being a shooting foul. but the onus is still on the defender to keep his hands out of the cookie jar

Celtics FG 38.8% 3PT 8 for 21
Suns FG 34.9% 3PT 3 for 16

Benches
Celtics 34 minutes 17 points
Suns 32 minutes 8 points

Walker at 7 for 8 and 19 points is the king of the first half.
Nesmith decides to shoot and gets 2 for three from 3.
Tatum 1 for 7 tonight.

Not sure how many times the Phoenix Suns have been limited to 37 points in a half, but, it might be best for the Celtics to seize the moment here.
Something off here, a typo I think.

Celtics FG% is 48.8%

Let's hope we can stop the next PHX run. Super-happy to see Kemba the flame-thrower out there - he is a step ahead of everybody. If we can just get Tatum to like 33% shooting, we should come away with this easy.

He's actually looked this good and fluid for awhile. But tonight he is hot so maybe that is drawing that opinion to you that it is new. But it's not.

Hey Kiorrik, I'm not sure if you are aware, but your picture is upside down  :P

Smart, stop shooting 3’s. You’re not a good 3pt shooter. Get some assists, you play the Point. Yeesh.

No way to talk to the Cs all time leader in threes in a game.

I believe Gandhi is the only person who knew about real democracy — not democracy as the right to go and buy what you want, but democracy as the responsibility to be accountable to everyone around you. Democracy begins with freedom from hunger, freedom from unemployment, freedom from fear, and freedom from hatred.
