    I’d rather see CJ get the shots Norman Powell is taking. CJ is a scorer.

    Let Norm be sticky on defense.

    So are you saying that every team should limit their good players time on court, and aim to just barely finish in the playoffs

    All arenas do that. Even when it’s sold out.

    Since being put back in the rotation I'd make the case that Simons has been average to above average defensively. Very encouraging.

    For the final couple games yes. Resting players at end of season won’t drop Utah and Phoenix to 6 seed.

    Even the Boston announcers said they had never seen Powell shoot a three off a curl before? Why haven't we seen it again since the first minute?

    9 or 10 player rotation tonight it appears if it’s close depending on fouls. Guessing Little gets the minutes over DJJ.

    I think it’s so funny how our MLE guy isn’t in the rotation Olshey keeps taking Ls in free agency

    Dame with the unselfish assist to Ant for 3! Then plays good defense to draw the moving screen call

    Well strong finish at the end. With the sub though the defense went soft.

    Zero need for DJJ tonight. Let Little uses his strength against these skinny Celtics.

    Thus far, I like how we took every punch, and we counter-punched back. This defensive focus and ball movement makes for some beautiful basketball.

    neither team is playing good defense for more than a possession, here or there
