Giving back 8 points at the end there started with Brown's two missed free throws.
Tatum has 4 turnovers, Brown 1.

I have a lot of doubt about our ability to stay focused here and keep the defensive intensity up.
Let up a little and Doncic and Irving go off and we are in trouble.

Defense wins games.

Can't expect 18 points from KP in this second half. Time for JT, White and Jrue to fill in the gaps.

Feels like Boston should be up more than 21. Dallas has been pitiful but still in the game.

Theie biggest asset is making other teams beat themselves with dumb turnovers.

again should be up 30

dallas cannot contain us when we play smart

inside out attack mismatches

That would also be a part coaching issue. Need to get in their ears and play smart. Burn those timeouts and yell at them to play smart.

Defense wins games.

Darn right. Keep playing defense like that and they cannot touch us.

[jpotter33]

For the love of God, just please come out with energy still and don't relax because of the big lead. You know they'll be coming out with energy to try and make this a game.

[hpantazo]

Gotta admit, Mazzulla bringing Porzingis off the bench to start today was a smart, vet move.

[Roy H.]

muting at half

do not wanna hear the parrot SAS

I switched over to NBCSports Boston.

[celticinorlando]

Dallas is going to get back to lobs, corner 3s this half.


Must have at least a 15 point lead heading into the 4th

[Vermont Green]

I hate the miked up stuff. Not sure why. It just seems dumb.

[SCeltic34]

DWhite feeling it!

[Phantom255x]

Really need a good start here. If Dallas gets this to under 15 quickly, new game

[Yuckabuck33]

How many points is Tatum going to give up?

[Boston Garden Leprechaun]

lead evaporating

STOP TAKING LAZY SHOTS HAVE WE NOT LEARNED

[Phantom255x]

Need more from JT
