Kris Dunn your “he’s still in the nba?” Player of the day. Thank god Danny didn’t make the conventional pick that draft.

I agree Eddie. The ball is hopping because of unselfish players. Simple game. Nobody trying to take 30+ shots.

Joe end of quarter iso tatum is absolute trash and going to cost them a finals birth. He looked like a bum on the last 2 possessions. Can't get by his guy at all. Get him on the right block.

How bad is Walker Kessler that he can't start on this Utah team?

Hauser is playing awesome!

Reasonable, not great first half.

Kornet is just extraordinary. Maybe in career best form these past couple of months.

A true cult hero and heart of this team.

Tough to push a Fg% of .750 (Luke since start of Feb) upwards but man he’s figuring out a way.

Tatum is not that guy behind the 3 point line. He is not explosive laterally and changing directions. So sick of it. Run a real play coach.

He's ok at it in the middle of the game cuz they don't know when he might shoot. So easy to defend on his last second shots. It's sickening.

All this analysis schmanalysis in the media about if Boston can win a title, bear Denver etc.

They forget to mention that when Derrick White goes nuclear forget about it this team is a whole different animal.

Hard to go nuclear when you're only getting 8 shots in a game (DWhite, post-ASB).

Put a single guy on PG Tatum isoing at the top of the key and Cs become stagnant.

I don't wanna jinx it but our magic number is about to go down to 13. 45 secs to go. Go Pacers!

Can make an argument that the Pacers are the fourth best team in the East rn. (I have them ahead of The Knicks and Heat)

And they know he's going to shoot at the end...so easy to defend..and if he doesn't he can't get by guys to make plays so just keep running it Joe...total idiocy.

Yeah, magic number down to 13. Let's get it down to 12. Just win the 2nd half.

What's scarier to a Celtics fan down 1 in a game 7 of the Finals? A Tatum ISO or Jaylen at the free throw line for 2 to win it all :lol:

The two Celtics centers haven't missed a shot at halftime.
