In order to obtain decent shots from three, I think you should start by opening up the floor with points in the paint and the midranger.

I remember the press conference two years when the Celtics lost that way in the playoffs.
Press core: “Do you think that you shot too many threes in this game?”
Joe Mazzula: “No.”

The Celtics decided to show you what a REAL insult to basketball was in game 2!

Yes. Missing 3’s will cost Boston the championship. Possibly this series.

Sixers, you’d think I’d be rooting for the Knicks? When they played us last season in the playoffs…the lack of class from that fanbase was just unbelievable…
I gotta give the Celtics safe passage to beat the Knicks, then the truce is off π…but the Celts are running out of time, they gotta get their act together now. Holiday bad passes, smh, what was that all about…Brown isn’t that good at his handle when in traffic…easy to poke it free and steal.

jwill is an wrong on so many levels. People forget his opinions over time yet he thinks he’s always right.

Ok jwill is annoying me. Making points that don’t matter. Very disliking his high horse statements what the hell has he ever done.
