Not a fan of this offense. Need some some top of key ISO and less ball movement.

Throw Peterson in there, too.
He's a decent player.

Apparently there's an overlap between the higher levels of the G league and the lower levels of the NBA.

We do. Hahaha.
I love the continuity from the Boston Bench through the Maine Starters.

Brad really did a great job of acquiring the right players.

Hopefully they can get the lead out where it's safe to bring the starters in...

Nice to watch some real basketball instead of the crap we've been seeing lately from the starters. 43 points in a half vs an NBA team is good defensive effort. The starters were giving up almost that many per quarter.

Would really suck if NY loses and Cleveland wins.

Pritchard's first half stat line would be a decent night for a star player.

23 points on good efficiency.
9/2 for A/TO.
Meh for everything else.

Refreshing to watch. Ball movement was great. Defensive effort is there. No complaining to the refs. No ball stoppers.

Kornet and Pritchard, both already with Double-Doubles. 9 mins left in the 3rd.

29/10 has only been done once by a Celtic this season (Tatum). Pritchard already has that with 20 minutes to go.
