I hate when people do that.
Oh what, now it means nothing just because you lost early and didn’t advance?
There’s always value in competitive games.
And hey, nowhere does it say they all have to be pretty.
The consistency and efficiency this season have been nice and his two-way impact continues to improve.
To me, last night was a great example of his continued growth as a player.
It was pretty clear early on that coming off a week of rest Tatum was pretty rusty offensively.
NBA Champion Jayson Tatum?
Now, it doesn’t seem to phase him.
I would argue a lot of his early struggles came from him settling a little bit which is understandable.
Why go all out against the Wizards?
This was also a chance for anyone who was maybe nervous about his knee to exhale.
Tatum’s knee issue is the same thing as Al’s big toe.
It’s Payton Pritchard Time
What the hell are we witnessing?
Hondo, McHale….Pritchard?
Why is that not a totally crazy sentence to punch in out?
Shit, Malcolm Brogdon won 6MOY as a Celtic and even he wasn’t doing shit like this!
It’s every single night, regardless off the opponent.
Payton Pritchard this season?
A cool 3.9 3PM on 8.9 3PA good for 43.5%.
Do with that information what you will.
Payton Pritchard wants it more than 99% of anyone else on the court.
His activity on the glass is all pure effort.
Perhaps my favorite part of Pritchard’s night didn’t even come on the floor.
Outside of that, it’s hard to complain.
With Derrick, it does feel like we’re starting to crawl out of his brutal shooting slump.
I’m not sure it gets better than that.
Unfortunately they stink, so that strategy wasn’t all that effective.
The Bad
- Jaylen Brown had a weird game.
It was a “meh” night.
That wasn’t great.
We know what those selfish types of games look like, and that’s not what this was.
- Yes, like you, I’m back to being nervous about Porzingis' health.
I can’t help it.
Every minute of my day consists of being concerned about the health of KP.
A 21 point lead when they came in got down to what, 12?
The minutes all look the same.
What the hell even is that?
A horrific 72.6%.
At 21-5, the wagon continues to roll on into this next little mini-break.
Some might even call it a blessing in disguise.
