    Derrick White, playoff Alpha

    1/8 from 3 last night :eek: but 79/174 for 45.4% in the playoffs over the last 2 seasons the thread title is still standing strong

    Round 2: Celtics vs Cavs

    It's not really scoreboard-related. It's the approach they were taking early. There's more to defense than this BUT my "oh crap they aren't playing with intensity tonight" antenna goes up immediately when the CAVs ball handlers aren't being harrassed in the half-court (I prefer 3/4 court...

    Round 2: Celtics vs Cavs

    1 loss & a Marcus Smart call-out for his offensive distribution powers. Didn't have that one on my BINGO card. We certainly could have used young Marcus' defensive intensity for sure. 120 pts to these CAVs is criminal. Of course, shooting variance is going to favor CLE when they are permitted...

    5/9: ECSF Game 2: Cavs@Celtics

    I just don't understand why Jrue & Brown aren't getting physical with Dono or garland or Strus when they initiate from the top, they are standing 3' away letting them operate

    White came into this game smoking hot, you'd think they'd find him early & often...

    5/9: ECSF Game 2: Cavs@Celtics

    have they pressured the ball once on D? picking up D under the 3pt line is pathetic

    5/9: ECSF Game 2: Cavs@Celtics

    need to pick up the on-ball defense. lackadaisical, just letting the CAVs comfortably get into sets

    Round 2: Celtics vs Cavs

    Brad's handiwork created All-Star level talent 1-5 (with #6-9 being excellent complimentary role players) This team can withstand injuries & shooting slumps from a few players, even if they play the San Antonio Nuggets, Luka's Mavs, Bron/IST Banner raising Lakers, & now the MJ Edwards Wolves in...

    Later Charles Lee

    Keeps JJ Redick at ESPN/ABC, which is helpful to our viewing pleasure. JJ doesn't mind correcting the nitwits that surround him (Perk, SAS, Doris, etc)

    (2) New York Knicks vs (6) Indiana Pacers - 2024 EC Second Round

    I have two words for you: Hostile Crowd They are going to be primed & on top of the zebras from the tip. Good luck Scott Foster, Zach Zarba, etc that is an assignment no Ref wants.

    Round 2: Celtics vs Cavs

    The Tatum melodrama is reaching new levels. Everyone here loves JT, his shot has been off for the last 2 weeks. It will return, hopefully sometime soon.

    Round 2: Celtics vs Cavs

    I can't imagine we'd be very happy if 3 of our TOP 4 scorers shot like crap (with the 4th guy missing). BUT that's probably what it will take for the CAVs to beat these Celtics. I wonder if we'll still see old friend Max Strus guarding Jaylen Brown ;) It must feel like Christmas Morning every...

    Derrick White, playoff Alpha

    Everyone in the rotation can shoot, & only gets better when the bench enters. Has there ever been an NBA team with a TOP 8 that hits 3s like this group? Usually, a team will have one stiff (The Dubs had non 3-point shooters like ZaZa, Looney, Livingston, Bogut) I'm drinking the Mazzulla ball...

    Jayson Tatum's Rise to the Top

    If Tatum continues to draw the best defender & doubles when he puts the ball on the floor we should expect his scoring to be lower with Brown, White & Co seeing a bump against lesser defenders. As long as he defends, rebounds, moves the ball, and shoots efficiently (which he hasn't in these...
