Pacers (2-1) at Celtics (3-0) Game #4 11/1/23

JB really has to learn to pass some of these more contested looks up. He doesn't have to try and finish each play. He's had several times out of the PnR and going into the lane when he's taken more difficult shots when there's been open guys.

He’s trying to be like Tatum but he can’t create his own shot quite as well

Honestly I like most of the shots he's getting.  He's attacking the paint, which we want.  Just missing.

5-11 isn't exactly a disaster anyway.  He missed some makeable shots but he's fine.

That was a bad end of the half possession haha!

[SHAQATTACK]

I think we ll go on a good run in the third

[BringToughnessBack]

Easy 75! I couldn’t stop yawning in 2nd quarter!

Boy, Stevens has assembled a perfect team courtesy of Danny drafts/trades and Brad trades.

My old binkie Aaron Nesmith looks legit.

He should come back. He'd be one of our best bench players instantly.

[radiohead]

Neismith could actually be a nice bench piece for us now. He’s developed into a nice player, albeit still inconsistent with his three ball.

The Celtics have now scored at least 75 first-half points twice in the last three days.

Prior to Monday, the team had reached 75 by halftime a total of only 34 times in its history.

It amuses me how wrong the scouting reports were on him coming out of college.  The covid year plays a part, admittedly.  But he was billed as a sweet shooter who does nothing else on the basketball court.  Instead he's a great athlete and a ball of energy whose jumpshot is pretty streaky and he's arguably better going to the basket than he is spotting up. 

I still like him too.  Easy to root for guys who play as hard as he does.

He's missed 4 bunnies short. Good shots though

I've always liked that about him - he just plays hard. Sometimes it's chaotic, but effort isn't teachable and he just tries. His shot looks like it's finally coming around as he's over 40% this year. If that holds up, his contract extension would be a steal for a wing player.

It's less about that and more about the open players he's missing when taking these difficult shots.

They love blowing the whistle on zinger.

Also jrue 1 assist in the 1st half.  Surprising.

[Silas]

Refs are stinking it up.

Good to see Tatum getting to the line. They only way they can stop him is to foul him
