a Walsh dunk would be nice. will Tillman play? I'm assuming Springer won't be with the team yet (but who knows?) Here's the latest I saw on Tillman, not sure if there's more up to date info:

(this is Keith Smith on twitter responding to question re: Tillman playing today)

No idea. He wasn't on the injury report, but that's not uncommon with the trade happening so recently. He might also be available and not play. It's going to take him a bit to get settled into what the Celtics do on offense and defense.

The original Baltimore Bullets were the last NBA team to fold. Might as well spindle and mutilate them while they're in town.

In media avail today, Tillman said he doesn’t have a timetable to return from knee soreness yet. No idea if he’s really injured, but he missed last three games for Memphis.

Wizz on the Wiz. Play the whole bench to keep them poised for the rest of the season.

Players just don't know how to defend players in the post anymore.

Edit: Not quite old man yelling at cloud. Players just don't practice it anymore.

B-Ref doesn't have splits by quarter. Am I just imagining it, or is the 1Q 3-point shooting dreadful? Feels like it's been forever since they came out and hit 4 of the first 8 or something.

The Tatum 3 ball really comes and goes. Seems like he’s either absolutely scorching or he can’t find the ocean

No excuse if we lose tonight, even if we shoot 10% from three. We can get into the paint at will.

I think it's just a function of being a heavy jump shooting team. They are more subject to variance.

I track things related to shot attempts, and the biggest difference I've seen as the season has gone along is they have generated fewer and fewer opponent turnovers and the defensive rebounding has gotten worse (by about 1-1.5%)

don't turnovers tend to go down league wide as the year goes on?
