Negative opinions have fewer post-game threads to be collected in than positive ones do.

Tatum and Durant each tried 19 2-pt FGs. Tatum hit 6. Durant hit 14.

JT will be as good or better than KD shooting 2-pt FGs when JT is also 35 years old.

We shouldn't take Buffalo for granted. His defensive prowess and shot blocking ability for a player his size is absolutely awe inspiring.

He is my current favourite Celtic because he has all the intangibles and fearless defensive effort and grit that Bill and Larry had, and what Red Auerbach built our franchise upon.

So wish Red was still around to watch Derrick play..he would have absolutely loved him.

And 9/2 tonight on A/TO

There’s no issues if I update my user name to whiteFan71, right? Seems perfectly benign.

There should be an unwritten rule that when the other team's on an 8-0 run, Cs should give the ball to Derrick White. Or call a timeout and bring in Derrick White if he's not on the floor.

Had to miss the 2nd half but looks like Kornet and Pritchard really lit it up.

That's why some of us believe in PP.

I get that Delon Wright is good defensively, but when it comes to bench production, the player who can score and shoot will end up being the better option.

The offense can't get bogged down when the starters rest.

This is where guys like Sam, PP, and even Korny will be useful.
They will score, so if the Celts have the lead, the lead will be maintained or increased.

There should be an unwritten rule that the other team can't go on an 8-0 run. Boom problem solved.

Forget MVP.

Tatum may have lost his first-team all-NBA slot to Durant with this game.

No worries: He's a lock for second-team or better. And injuries aside, Tatum isn't in the default first team anyway, now that it's gone positionless. (Jokic, Embiid, Giannis, Doncic, SGA)

No way KD gets 1st team if Suns are just the 5th or 6th seed.

Is Embiid even eligible with games missed or was that just MVP?

We are giving Embiid 1st team All-NBA for 34
games now?

The hoops people will jump through to keep Tatum off these award lists is pretty wild.

I know that and I’m not worried. Just seems like the awards become sort of fixed mentally for people and literally anything could happen like a guy not playing even and it doesn’t change.

I knew that. Was just trying to be polite throwing out a question more rhetorical than anything lol. But since I’ve found a dog has peed on some of my sneakers and I’m not longer interested in being polite

Right. Hence my use of the word "default".
