11/28 vs Bulls (7:30pm) - win big or... stay home

[SteveF]

Donovan NOT HAPPY.

 

[PedroKsBambino]

What college will Billy Donovan be coaching next year?

 

[Ale Xander]

Hahaha love this

 

[MyDaughterLovesTomGordon]

Seven minutes left, tho. They can't keep doing that.

 

[Deathofthebambino]

If only had the Garden had a free Dunkins Iced for 2 missed free throws. People would really be going insane.

 

[Ed Hillel]

lmfao

 

[Scoops Bolling]

If only had the Garden had a free Dunkins Iced for 2 missed free throws. People would really be going insane.

That would cause a riot.

This is brilliant

 

[Ed Hillel]

Sick feed Part 2

 

[bankshot1]

Drummond gonna foul himself out to foil this plot

 

[Jed Zeppelin]

Joe is going to have the most devoted end-of-benchers in the league.

 

[Ed Hillel]

Why foul Drummond if you're not gonna bother to play D the next possession?

 

[Ale Xander]

Nice pass

 

[ifmanis5]

Tourney aside I am enjoying a blowout.

 

[Ed Hillel]

Pritch missed Jaylen for a monster jam.

 

[Ale Xander]

Hysterical basketball

 

[OnWisc]

Every person upset or arguing about the score of this game already has more money than I’m likely to make in my lifetime. I get it, but I’m not about to feel bad.

 

[Ed Hillel]

Hey that was a travel bros

 

[McBride11]

Why are top 6ers still out there?

 

[snowmanny]

Bulls announcers railing on the point differential component now.

This seems in poor taste even with the IST implications.

Hate the game not the player

 

[Ed Hillel]

Why are top 6ers still out there?

Point differential!

 

[Salem's Lot]

Tourney aside I am enjoying a blowout.

Literally the only reason why I’m still watching a blow out on a Tuesday night in November. The idea works.

 

[teddykgb]

Coby White would be an all star if he only played against the Celtics for 82

 

[Ed Hillel]

Al not helping on D there was weird.

 

[PedroKsBambino]

Like CJM showing off some tactics

 

[Helmet Head]

This is kind of dumb

 

[Ed Hillel]

lol

 

[Buck Showalter]

This seems in poor taste even with the IST implications.

Can't disagree.

The league caused this though.

 

[MyDaughterLovesTomGordon]

This last four minutes is super interesting. Really going to keep the starts in against the scrubinis?

 

[benhogan]

pull the JAYs

 

[Ed Hillel]

I wish Joe would coach with this urgency when the lead goes from 12 to 6 instead of 36 to 30.

 

[JakeRae]

Celtics unsurprisingly are struggling to continue to play with intensity up 30+. They know they need the extra points but the scoreboard has a large psychological impact.

 

[patinorange]

Some half court three pointer will kill their chances.

 

[ifmanis5]

Update:

With the Knicks up 94-76 with 7 minutes to go, here's where things currently stand: Knicks: plus-38 Celtics: plus-35 Bucks: plus-34 At this point, if Brooklyn wins, all 3 of those teams will advance. If Brooklyn loses, Orlando will win Group C, and the lowest of those 3 is out

 

[PedroKsBambino]

Donovan should go bench—he needs team to be able to trade the starters soon

 

[OnWisc]

They do. I saw it last time I was out there.

I bet they’ve got some supremely complicated patterns for the holidays.

 

[SteveF]

Brooklyn is maybe 50/50 to win anyway.

 

[radsoxfan]

These guys are having a mental tug of war.

They know they should want to get a bigger differential, but they also can’t help but give up on D like they would in a normal 30 point game.

 

[schillzilla]

they should add more IST games next year so point differential is not so necessary. It’s kind of embarrassing that teams feel they have to do this for the tourney.

 

[TripleOT]

Mazzulla cares little about norms.

 

[Deathofthebambino]

Folks worried about Jaylen's deal should remember guys like Zach Levine (and his 2 points) are on a 5yr, 215mil deal. This season alone, he's making 9mil more than Jaylen.

Al Horford has been a fucking beast tonight.

It is super tight, gotta keep the foot on the gas.

 

[Helmet Head]

Just turned on the game. What point differential do they ideally need to get to make the next round?

Just heard sack scal say 40 points

 

[Mystic Merlin]

Missed bunny leads to a transition mismatch

 

[Ale Xander]

I would take the J’s out now

 

[JCizzle]

These guys are having a mental tug of war.

They know they should want to get a bigger differential, but they also can’t help but give up on D like they would in a normal 30 point game.

I think this is exactly it.

 

[OnWisc]

They should go to assist differential. That would make it even more interesting.

 

[PedroKsBambino]

Even in a blowout the Celtics starters suck in last four minutes

 

[ObstructedView]

Watch our starters flub this against their bench in garbage time.

 

[MyDaughterLovesTomGordon]

Bulls backups feeling it.
