the box scores look sexy but it seems kyrie misses a bunch of shots compared to his team


He's had some early shooting woes but never for the entire game. The Celtics didn't acquire Kyrie to carry the team in scoring every night- they tried that model with IT4 and look where it got them (ousted easily by the Cavs) - they acquired him to be a true PG and he's looked stellar thus far - always looking to make a pass first and find the open guy. He's been completely unselfish and has proven that he can be effective on the defensive side of the ball as well. And in the clutch? - he's been great and is able to take over the game on both sides of the floor.

The big Kyrie box scores are surely to come, but no one in Boston really cares about that - we're happy to see our team playing excellent ball under an excellent young head coach - nn for individual accolades

Tatum just blocked the fuck out of Schroder lol.

I always loved and hated Schroder lol.

Gorman gave Tatum the ultimate compliment.

"He reminds me of the Paul Pierce in his prime."

Paul Pierce in his prime was one of the most underrated stars in the entire NBA.

That block was nasty
1 on 1 defense vs Dennis

If Tatum and Brown keep shooting 3s like this
Oh baby

Dude but the chain of events? Beautiful.

Marcus Smart lock down, made Schroder move to the left, his weakest side, and force a play. Rozier keeps the ball alive with the well timed rebound, and Tatum gets the pass for the 3?!?!
