The Celtics are outscoring opponents by 15.8 points per 100 possessions in over 900 possessions of Tatum and Kornet on the floor. Dunno what do with that lol. Their 128.4 offensive rating is also in the 99th percentile.

We were killing opposition even when Porzingis missed 22 games (19-3).

Possibly because Jaylen is usually not on the floor with them. It means the ball ends up in Tatum's hands more often.

Tatum/Kornet/Pritch are +27.4 over 330 minutes

Tatum/Kornet/Hauser are +19 over 272 minutes

Tatum/Kornet/Jaylen are +0.3, albeit over a small sample size of 25 minutes

More generally, of all the Tatum player pairs, Tatum/Jaylen ranks the worst (using a six minute cutoff)

Too bad Springer is out. I would have loved to see him get a bunch of minutes. He's a fun prospect with the way he plays defense. If he ever learns to shoot, look out.

Good thing we are both old enough to remember when the kings (and then the pacers) were title contenders.

Sabonis and Fox are good players, and Keegan Murray is a good prospect. Nevertheless, we must be able to win easily. Sabonis might cause problems. He is too strong for KP.

You should have watched that guy's dad. He was really something.

Hauser erupts for 45. Celtics by 10.
Good assessment:

ALL I hope to accomplish in the final 6 games is KP stays healthy, everyone else heals dings, JoE learns a couple X&O moves, and AL/PP start to get reaLLy hot from 3

Hope to see some Walsh by second quarter tonight. He should already have his daily lobster roll and be ready to ...roll.
