    I would refer to it as methodical Brad Stevens basketball. Really hard to watch the Pistons game today but I gutted most of it out.

    Teams that depend on defensive mistakes have a rough time against the Celtics because they are so fundamentally sound. It's amazing. When they ramp up the energy, teams just cannot generate decent shots against them unless they have a standout isolation player.

    Celts offense remains a work in progress. You never know from game to game but they score just enough to win.

    Pacers is so entertaining to watch, especially at home.

    Trevor Booker is pumped! The Pels are playing soft as dough boys in the 3rd quarter and are getting murdered on the glass.

    Pels are awful. We will get them on a B2B tomorrow and they barely beat the sixers without McConell,embiid,covington

    The Rockets bench led by CP3 should be able to chew up and spit out the sorry Pels bench.

    I'm concerned some about the Rockets focus. If they play with energy, it's an easy win.

    Pelicans have a solid team. Don't sleep on them. Harden won't be able to feast on isos either with Boogie, AD, Holiday & Rondo defending him.

    Tough matchup for us.

    just saw Dipo’s highlights on YouTube...this guy is good

    I laughed at what Indy got for Paul George, but in the end they made out really well

    Nothing about their team is solid. They need someone to go off and out of charakter making every shot to stay in games. They have almost no 3 pt threat outside of D.Miller and maybe boogie (if he’s on) also they have a lot of defensive lapses. Harden had to go 1o1 against portland last night because portland dared him to do so. Will be a different game against the pels. Prepare for about 17~23 threes.

    And btw lmao at holliday containing harden. Holiday isn’t as good as many people think.
