I wish JB would stop settling for 3.  He's getting great shots when he's going to the rim.

+1
Just need to be more aware of how we are playing / shooting.
Starters are 3/20 from 3.  Why keep doing stuff that isn’t working

But that's half of his game guys.

Part of the reason he blasts past his defenders is because they gotta keep him honest on the 3 point line.

He's shooting 35% anyway so it's not like he's putrid.

I agree typically JB is a good 3 point shooter.  One of our best.  But tonight he is 1/8.  Is that going to somehow change for tonight and he will hit his next 5?   If you are off on your 3 point shot, look to score in other ways.  JB isn’t the worst offender because he is taking the ball to the hole.  But still there is a thing about understanding that your 3 ball isn’t falling and adjust.  It varies from game to game.

Every single shooter, in the history of the NBA, says that you gotta keep shooting. "The next one is going in".

On top of that, he's taken it inside 12 times too.

I know he has taken it inside, I said it in my post right above yours!  Lol.

Apologies :] I'm half reading here, half watching the game and ... well not working as much as I should be :')

No need for apologies.  TP!

Grant Williams for most improved.

Probably only Celtics fans will notice though.

I really really really wish you'd get the challenge back.

I also really really really wish they'd just pay another ref to look at that instant replay instantly. Correct calls where required.

The technology is SO there for it. This doesn't have to take 10 seconds.

Of all the young guys, he’s the only one to crack the rotation.

If the other guys would only get a chance to play

I reckon you got your cause and effect reversed.

Good spot for some minutes for Pritchard.

Sure doesn't feel like a 21pt lead.

Okay, theory;

At the very least for this game, JB has taken what used to be JT's role.

And that's been the case a couple games the last week or so.

Nice numbers Mr. Tatum.
