Smart burns some skin on a loose ball that he gets to Maker who uses his body well to keep his defender off the ball for the layup!

Tatum and Walker can be deadly! Tatum, Kemba and Brown, can be deadly!

Looks like it's game over with a little over a minute remaining in the 3rd.

There is a game on TNT and one of the teams is in GREEN. Honestly, I DON'T RECOGNIZE THIS TEAM.
The way THIS TEAM is playing, THIS TEAM can seriously contend for the title.

It's not rocket science, it's just all about the 3s.
If the Celts shoot like in this game and in the game against the Nets, they're an elite team.
Celts lack size, but they can compensate by making a lot of 3s.

They can if they shoot like this and like last game against the Nets. It's all about the 3s because the Celts are a small team.

Over all good half! I see Smart followed up his last pitiful game,with another terrible first half, 1 for 7 shooting! Does he even know he can't shoot? gotta shoot to keep them honest...they actually fall for him more than most of you will admit...and getting better every year...

Yeah we get it Fierce...but it is more complicated than that...the three's have to be open, the flow has to be right, the transitions, the defense...it is more than a coin toss...

We're just about a lock for the #3 seed.
I think everybody should get minutes for the final 3 games.
No player should record more than 30 minutes until the playoffs. And no starter (and Smart and Kanter) should dress for the Wizards game.
We should go hard for a half on Sunday against Orlando but after that, focus should be on rest (and getting Semi, Langford and RWil minutes).

Rest?!?...are you kidding me?...I understand avoiding injury, but these guys are just getting warmed up...yeah, let the kids get some time, but we gotta play the starters a fair amount...

We were up by 35-40pts but once the starters were pulled, low & behold the Raps started making their threes cutting our HUGE lead to just a BIG lead to end the game ...
Your Player of the Game ... Jaylen Brown!

Yes rest. Playing every other night is tough on these guys. Then you throw in a back to back like two days ago and we've played Tuesday, Wednesday and tonight (three games in 4 nights).
During the normal season, they get two or three days off between games. Every other night takes a toll on the body.

This game reminded me of what other teams can do to us, fully disable any offense or defense we have. We did the same to toronto. Every time we move the ball, good things happen.

I think brad needs to switch up as soon as he sees the starters not cutting it. But he leaves them way too long then makes adjustments for the next game. I always critized that about brad.

That's the key, the 3s don't have to be open in today's NBA. Tatum makes 3s even if there's a defender in front of him. The new NBA is about making 3s even if it's not open.

Against teams like Toronto, size is not an issue because the Raps also have small players.
But against bigger teams, the Celts will not be able to stop the big opposing players.
Just look at Nurkic against the Cs.
Even Adebayo had his way with the Celts.
The Celtic defense is limited because of the lack of size of the Celts.
So only way Celts win in the playoffs is if they shoot well from 3-point land.

Brad wanted to extend the starters minutes tonight in prep of playoffs and siad they'd go with 9 guys in the playoffs.
