4 drives, 3 drips to the free throw line and 1 layup.  That's more like it.

Getting into the paint rather than settling for early shot clock 3's = good

Amazing what happens when you don't chuck 3's
Back to wanting Joe fired.

I'm a bit tired of the TNT commentators constantly making excuses for Luka tonight.

We are seeing how playing defense makes a difference.  OKC in the rear view!

Damon is coaching this game, correct? Has to be cause the team already gave up on Joe.

Lol. TP.

We really are going to live and die by the 3 this season.

Either Uncle Joe is too dim-witted and stubborn to demand changes in the way the team is playing or,
like Brad Stevens, he is afraid of his players.

Jaylen not playing with his head today

JB’s 4th foul wasn’t a foul.  Phantom call.
Bad call.
when you're in foul trouble, you keep your hands off the offense.   I do agree it was a crap call but he's got to be smarter

Joe doesn’t have job security like Udoka did.

Haven’t been relying on the 3, but Jaylen wide open in the lane kicks to Al for the 3 miss.  And 7 in a row for Macs.

Udoka had job security? When

When he signed that multi year deal that Wyc still doesn’t want to pay.
