Washington Wizards at Boston Celtics - Play-in Game #1 5/18/21

[PAOBoston]

I almost want us to lose out just to avoid the big injury to one of our guys that seemingly is going to happpen

This is literally my biggest fear right now.

How can Brad be okay with those end-of-quarter Tatum possessions?

Westbrook has 13 rebounds in the first half lol

Celtics as a team have 19.

Tatum with no block out on Westbrook

we should be allowed to sub out TT for Khloe at the FT line.  she can't do any worse

What an odd game.  Celts lucky to be down just 2 after shooting just 35% and mustering only 6 total assists as a team.

If we had been in the penalty, Smart would've been shooting free throws there and the game would be tied.

Not too bad, just down 2 after a crappy half. We need to start strong. In the 3rd quarter.

If we had been in the penalty, Smart would've been shooting free throws there and the game would be tied.

I'd rather play the "if" game with field goal percentages, since they tend to even out a bit. Especially when it's a near 20% difference.

A very small percentage of his rebounds are contested.  I forget the exact number but it's really low.  He gets the free ones and otherwise doesn't help on the glass.

His unwillingness to do any dirty work is one of my biggest beefs with his game at this point.  He doesn't play physical on defense.  He often doesn't play physical on offense.  He doesn't box out.  He plays like he's still a string bean like he was when he entered the league, but the dude needs to realize how big he is - he can bully people if he wants to.

To be fair Westbrook is basically Smart on steroids. Makes a ton of boneheaded plays and takes a ton of bad shots.
