Game after game, I'm subjected to Marcus Smart and his 27.5% from three on 5+ attempts per game; but, they tell me - or at least they used to - that he makes "winning plays." Boston desperately needs a point guard.

No one has given me a feeling of joy watching sports like Steph.

I said a few weeks ago Celts basically playing with 1 hand tied behind their back because of their lack of shooting. They have 1 of the worst shooting teams in the league, hard to win that way nowadays.

His game ages like fine wine.

Does Curry seem physically diminished at all? Maybe he has lost a half inch of vertical or a hair of straight line speed from his mid-20s? But he mostly seems the same, except much stronger.

At this point, he seems to have more raw strength than most players his height, which is amazing given where he started.

In terms of attention to training and nutrition, he obviously is at the level of guys like Lebron, Djokic, and Tom Brady.

One time, many years back, my wife told me I was right; about 20 minutes later she changed her mind & that was the end of that.

They need Brown (39.7). When GrWilliams (41.4) is your floor spacer, you're in trouble; Boston too often ends up playing in an iso-ball phone booth at the offensive end.

This seems like purely a personnel issue, I don't think it can be fixed without better offensive players.

Although I do think the Celts are a pretty solid team overall once JB is back. But they can lose to anyone in the modern game by building mansions with all these bricks.

Correct. And to make matters worse, Tatum and Jaylen haven't been very efficient this season in isos.

My turn, your turn iso-ball sucks donkey dick; especially with the NBA now allowing increased defensive physicality. This was one of the issues that Udoka was hired to address. Boston's pace (96.6) is 27th in the league, ugh.

Boston's in Atlanta tonight; last time they played, the Hawks were up 72-49 at the half. But in all fairness, the game was nowhere near as close as the half-time score would indicate. It was complete humiliation from jump street.

Steph is amazing. Not sure how long the Warriors D can stay this good, but damn.

There is really no excuse for the bolded, either. This isn't a team full of plodders.

And now Brow is grimacing and grabbing his thigh. Time to freshen up those street clothes for a three week stretch as a cheerleader on the bench.

I doubt anyone in the league actually thought JULIUS was any good, but Knicks missed an opportunity to cash in on him
