I think this Pels team is not as good as what their record says.

They are missing a lot of players.

The only significant player missing is Ingram.

BTW, great bounce back game by KP after being called SOFT against the Hawks. Dominated the paint today. 10 rebounds and 4 blocks already.

A Horford hook shot from the midrange, just what we wanted.

He's improving as the season goes on. They seem to be really developing him; it's nice to see.

Maybe it's just me but I didn't really care for him a few months ago as an analyst, but Eddie really getting in his groove now.
Hey you! Can we come together?

Good Foul, by Pritchard.

Pritchard needs to be clutcher. Only 50% on buzzer beaters? Not gonna get it done in the playoffs.

Great Celtic defense.

Just finish them off in the 4th.

Pels really struggling with the Celtic defense.

Suddenly the Pels don't want to shoot 3s even if they're open.

That was a fantastic 3rd quarter. The team doesn't look bored anymore.

Tatum had the ball with about fourteen seconds left on the shock lock.. Why can't we run some sort of off ball movement or play.. Why is?
It always dribble dribble dribble dribbled step back three.. Blame tatum blame the coaches.. I don't care which something has to change..
