I f'in hate that his name is Victor. Makes puns difficult. (Vanquish the Victors sounds stupid)

Defense ok, but offense is just "my turn your turn" jacking it up. May be enough vs these guys, but would like to see more attacking. Even wtih Wemby hanging around

Tatum has driven right at Wemby three times---layup, dunk, pass for a layup.

Welcome to high-level NBA kid

The Spurs are barely an NBA team when Wemby sits---it's really ugly at both ends

Not a lot of defensive grit this game. 9 total fouls and I wouldn't say the refs have been letting dudes play.
PBPstats has the Celtics shot quality at just 49%, but their actual EFG% is 74%. Shooting 68.4% from 3 will do that.
Spurs lead in true shot attempts 50-47.

Johnny's scratch was endearing. I actually like PJ but he grates after a while
It wasn't just the voice.. it was the combo of: being a homer to an extent that would make even Tommy Heinsohn blush, all of his catch phrases (fiddlin and diddlin), and the all out passion he had for the game ("OH, THE YELLOW, GUTLESS WAY THEY DO THINGS HERE!").
And the man could describe a basketball game... I fell asleep many nights to the Celtics and Johnny. Actually went to a charity softball game in Needham where I think he was MC for the night.. I still have his autograph from that night... as well as Dom DiMaggio, Jim Nance (NEP), Rick Middleton, Dave Cowens, Rick Miller and various other sports celebrities.

Looks like the Celts should gain a game on Milwaukee and Miami

edit: the photo that NBA.com has for Tatum... it's like the guy never learned how to pose for a photo past middle school. Looks like a big little kid in full unnatural smile.
