2/10 O/U on # of usual starters: 1.5

[joe dokes]

It seems that Grant often plays worse in blowout wins. Like he gets so caught up in it he forgets to play.

 

[benhogan]

nice timeout

 

[The Mort Report]

If we get to garbage time, our 5 will probably be Muscala, PP, Hauser, Grant and Kornet. That's silly good for those minutes

 

[128]

nice timeout

He's gotten better about trying to nip these runs in the bud when the C's are up big and start slipping.

 

[joe dokes]

Yup! But I’m out west and easily could have missed it. The NBA is so savvy about putting games where people want them when “other stuff” is happening.

Celtics-Lakers were a superb owl Sunday matchup for several years, iirc.

Celtics-Lakers were a superb owl Sunday matchup for several years, iirc.

I remember it as the C's-76ers in the mid 80s

 

[128]

C's are sleep-walking, though it probably won't matter.

 

[joe dokes]

That's about 5 passes that Rob hasnt been ready for.

 

[128]

This is really poor by Boston.

 

[DeadlySplitter]

Uh, guys?

 

[Minneapolis Millers]

Did TL have a secret hand removal surgery?

 

[128]

Hornets may cut their deficit to single digits by the end of the quarter.

 

[teddykgb]

Must have turned it over 10 times in 3 minutes

 

[JCizzle]

This is not optimal.

 

[Lazy vs Crazy]

Tatum really is going to play another 40 minute night huh?

 

[128]

So much for resting Tatum in the fourth quarter.

 

[OnWisc]

So much for resting Tatum in the fourth quarter.

Meh, the whole team rested in the third.

 

[joe dokes]

Hornets may cut their deficit to single digits by the end of the quarter.

A better team would have.

 

[ifmanis5]

Three at the end avoids a minor cheesedick.

 

[128]

Much-needed 3-pointer by the new guy.

 

[joe dokes]

Brogdon and Grant have quietly been not good tonight.

 

[Reverend]

“pass it to the black team”

That’s coaching.

 

[OnWisc]

“pass it to the black team”

That’s coaching.

They’re not listening.

 

[McBride11]

“pass it to the black team”

That’s coaching.

Lol. What was that interview? CJM pissed off?

 

[The Mort Report]

Muscala is ok I guess

 

[Reverend]

“Don’t get bored of executing.”

 

[joe dokes]

Brogdon, grant, Tatum, rob out.
Muscala, Hauser, white, griffin in.
Boom.

 

[bosockboy]

Holy crap this might be the deepest NBA squad I’ve ever seen. Blake is a serviceable bench guy and he’s our 13th man.

Felt more like a clown car for awhile there, but point taken.

Not unless they go to OT.

 

[McBride11]

Brogdon, grant, Tatum, rob out.
Muscala, Hauser, white, griffin in.
Boom.

Really not sure where JB and Smart fit in anymore.

New plan, start Muscala Hauser white griffin and PP. Then bring in the 'starters' to run over the 2nd units

 

[MyDaughterLovesTomGordon]

Might need to touch the paint once or twice more in the game, guys.

 

[128]

Not sure challenging PJ Washington on the break was a good idea by Pritch.

 

[teddykgb]

Might need to touch the paint once or twice more in the game, guys.

As long as it isn’t Pritchard layups

 

[Minneapolis Millers]

Might need to touch the paint once or twice more in the game, guys.

No sh!t. A couple extra passes, a drive here and there. And get back on D. Jeezus. Should know how to play with a lead.

 

[joe dokes]

I don't see enough shitty teams get blown out by better teams, but I'm guessing the 10 minute run of shitty play by the superior team is not uncommon.

 

[JCizzle]

Maybe it's just because I watch the Celtics mostly, but it seems like Tatum has an unusual amount of short airballed threes considering his shooting ability.

 

[MyDaughterLovesTomGordon]

U.G.L.Y. offense at the moment. Someone’s gotta drive the lane.

 

[128]

This is closer than it needed to be.

 

[Lazy vs Crazy]

Another rough day for Grant

 

[Ed Hillel]

Dagger

 

[ifmanis5]

Big 3 from Tatum but he's at 34 minutes. Wish they went full blowout and could rest by now.

 

[Ed Hillel]

Timelord is sleepwalking his way to 14 rebounds.

 

[Minneapolis Millers]

Tatum carrying way too much of the down-the-stretch load.

 

[128]

ESPN crew slobbering over Ball, who didn't do shit when the game was in the balance.

 

[JCizzle]

They need to manufacture 10 games off for Tatum over the rest of the season

 

[128]

Tatum carrying way too much of the down-the-stretch load.

As was noted upthread, Brogdon has been off his game tonite. That hasn't helped.

 

[MyDaughterLovesTomGordon]

Scary Terry can still pick your pocket.

 

[CoffeeNerdness]

That backspin three was insane.

 

[OnWisc]

ESPN crew slobbering over Ball, who didn't do shit when the game was in the balance.

He’s only 21!
