Celtics (20-6) at Kings (16-9) Game #27 12/20/23

[blink]

I like seeing Jrue getting some more shots, and finding the range from 3.
Hopefully this helps to get him going moving forward

I like Zinger a lot but he's gotta be a little stronger on defense.  As good as Sabonis is he can't give up as much ground as he does.

They should put a smaller stronger guy on Sabonis.

Really nice half, offensively. Hate to say it but I sense a real cooling-off coming in the 3d quarter and nothing to fall back on.

[blink]

We need to come out and win this game in the 2nd half.  Clev, Indy, Miami, Philly all won tonight.
We need to keep our lead in the standings.

Considering we were playing at this time less than 24 hours ago and don’t have Horford or Tatum, it is very possible. I am impressed with the first half a lot though either way. Our starting 5 all played between 17-19 in first half which seems high to me.

It’s a little high, but there’s no game until Saturday, so it’s not excessive.

He comes down on his foot. Has to be a flagrant. Textbook.

Hopefully KP can play through it and be good with a few days rest. That one looked worse than Tatum's.

[blink]

we don't need more injuries...oh man

[celticsclay]

I worry the most about porzingas in this situation. Don’t make him. Play through this if he is hurt we need him so bad.

[Silas]

Good call refs...def a flagrant 1.

[SCeltic34]

Nice.  5 point possession.

[RPGenerate]

I love the balls from Porzingis to go for that same play again.

[jpotter33]

I don't know why we don't run more of that for KP. Between his height and release point, he can virtually shoot over anyone, especially on the mismatch.

[Silas]

Didn't realize that KP is a tough guy.

[SCeltic34]

Nice.  Keep abusing the matchup.  Make Sacramento adjust.  If they want to double, swing the ball.
