47 3's

Sigh

We better hope the law of averages come into play tom. This was a bad shooting performance by the team.

I mean, they shot 36% from deep and won the game. Not bad.

At some point you have to blame the performance on the court on the players on the court. Every loss is not the coach's fault and every win isn't because of the players.

Rockets down by 8 with 4 seconds left and Rockets are fouling lol...

Well Brissett did run the score up before that.

In fairness to Brissett, I think he was just getting the triple double for JB.

Some good points tonight:

Porzingis dominated on both ends

Kornet turned the game around in the 4th

Brown with a triple double and White with a career high in rebounds


Bad points:

The Celtics lost focus on defense and offense and came out with another horrible 3rd quarter to middle of the 4th stretch.

Tatum had a terrible game all around.

Odd end to the game with the Rockets insisting on playing it out down 8-10 with a minute or so left and the Celtics continuing to push it and score on them.

I will double what hpantazo said, it seemed like the twin towers of KP and LK did well in the fourth on defending the paint, lots of blocks and we got a lot of rebounds off their missed shots.  maybe another wrinkle we may have found?

Gotta hand it to Joe.  Subbing Kornet in for Brissett in the 4th was a great move.

tonight’s game really highlights the importance of the porzingis signing. in previous years, the C’s lose these type of games when the J’s aren’t shooting well.

bubble wrap that guy for the playoffs!
