Jaylen not dunking on purpose?

I know the Cs believe in the three, but it seems like they might as well just take the layup on every possession.

sometimes I see timelord make passes like that and im like why can't he be a sabonis lite (who is jokic lite)?
Agreed. His passing game is something we might see more of going foward; they've flashed him in the high post playing Jokic-style at times, too.

Boston gave up four offensive rebounds in the first 9:21. Atlanta 0-5 from three, 9-14 in the paint

TL has the bad habit of tapping defensive rebounds, something the great Bill Russell always advised not to do.

All I have access to through my ESPN app is the above the rim view with no commentary. It’s kind of great.

Atlanta has absolutely no answer defensively. We’re officially in “the only thing that can beat the Celtics is themselves” territory in this series.

Atlanta's shot quality was a bit too good that quarter, for sure. 59% expected effective field goal percentage.

Need better defense
9-16 threes and only up 4 is a bad sign. I disagree with this game being like a freeroll. We need to win one of these two games to not make this a 3-game series. Tonight is not unimportant to the C’s.

If the Hawks win this one, they have hope for Game 4. If they lose tonite, there's a decent shot they roll over Sunday.

Wtf kind of call is that on the tip? Especially after the asshole wouldn’t throw the ball up.
