Just another day at the office for Holiday.  9 points on 5 shots.  10 assists, 0 turnovers.  2 steals, 2 blocks.  Solid defense.  Ho hum.

If we win the title this year I hope he gets adequate recognition for his contributions.

I’m just happy to see Grayson Allen lose. I can’t stand that guy

I don't understand PHX's bench construction.  They don't have enough 3 point shooting.  Between Wainright, Bol, Roddy, Thad Young, Metu, and Little, they can't space the floor enough.  Too much reliance on their big 3.

They're so top heavy and it's clear that they didn't really have a plan to fill out the backend of their roster after going all in on Beal. The only move they've made post-Beal that felt intentional was the trade for Nurkic.

if we win this year it will be because of all starting 5 plus the bench

all are contributing so too much stress is not put on any 1 guy

I just feel so much better having him and White in there at the end of games. Especially from a decision making standpoint. I loved Smart’s effort, but he didn’t always play… Smart.

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.

TNT guys still not giving the Celtics credit. Made 3s and if they can’t they won’t win.

Can’t wait for the playoffs

Certainly.  But Jrue is sacrificing the most.  He's done a remarkable job picking his spots offensively while facilitating.  Unselfish leader.  I think it's easy to overlook while Tatum and Brown receive most of the praise.

They do have Eric Gordon who’s injured.
