I don’t understand why that’s a foul. Sauce just backed up and Monroe fell because he was leaning on sauce. I hate that foul.

Isn't that the Chuckster-drawing-the-foul play? Or, even better, when Charles took a big step back and the player on offense wound up off balance.

Man Tatum is so smooth offensively

He is so much better offensivesly than I thought he would be.

 

[CardsSunsDbacks]

It was a play on words that apparently flew way under your radar.

Apparently so.

 

[Mainstreet]

Maybe Bender can be our new defensive center.

Bender finally hits a shot, a corner 3.

Man once Jackson gets a mid range pull up watch out. He reminds me a lot of Derozzen

Final:

Celtics 102 - Suns 94

Jackson with 23 points and 6 rebounds.

Funny stuff. Tatum and Jackson had identical points and rebounds.

Funny stuff. Tatum and Jackson had identical points and rebounds.

And Jackson is much better defensively. #Winning

I will take it. Jackson really responded to the challenge tonight.

It has more to do with Coach T's O-play book of let's hold the ball at the top of the key for 10 seconds, then hand it off to Bender to hand it off or dribble to the wing and hand it off.

It is true, that with Booker and Warren out our offense is a complete train wreck, but that does not change that Payton is a terrible shooter and not much of a threat to penetrate. Perhaps he'd be better at both with more help, but he certainly isn't capable of carrying anyone.

Jackson and Tatum both look like the goods while there are questions about Ball and Fultz.

Jackson looks like he's just scratching the surface.

I can't even watch Bender and Chriss anymore

They've been going against each other since HS. I bet this was a grudge game for both of them. Makes it exciting when they step up.

"Chriss has learned how to avoid the contract."

Bender drives to the hoop, I get excited about the intelligence involved, then he doesn't even glance at the hoop, but looks desperately for a pass.

Next year kids, when you can buy your own beer, maybe you can prove yourself as basketball players.

You must be registered for see images attach

Don't see why we cannot be like Boston in a couple of years. We have about the same talent and youth, we just need to mature and get in some veterans and change our coaching and culture, you know, completely.

Except that dirt Tatum has on his chin. You can't pull off the Curtis Mayfield look just yet kiddo.

 

[leclerc]

I like that Ulis and Reed get some minutes.

I think you are right. Reportedly they are good friends.

 

[WildBB]

Indeed it was a nice block.

Chriss is starting to understand the game.

It seems like one of the coaches ( Corbin?) FINALLY got to him and he seems to be adjusting the way he goes about his buisness.

I agree. Someone seems to have gotten through to Chriss. If I had to choose between Chriss or Bender today, I would choose Chriss but we know how that goes.
