Kind of curious to know what RJ did at the end of the third or start of the fourth, sounds like he murdered someone…

end of third. booker rebound. starts out even with rj and pushes. rj takes a weird angle and lets him go. booker misses layup. rj stands aimlessly while craig comes from half court and puts in the rebound. that was the good part. next was this:

Ayton definitely benefited from CP3. He’s not as good as his line indicated. And, yes, I’m kind of glad that Taj sent CP3 that little love tap near the end of the game.

Pretty gaudy line from Ayton too. 26 and 15 on 17 t-shots with no turnovers. And Paul.

I watched This is a Robbery with my wife and then went to sleep. Apparently this game was not (a robbery.) Decent doc series fwiw but an absolute must watch for all connoisseurs of Boston accents.

I know we couldn’t have ended up with Luka and Bridges but I have been pretty irritated lately about what might have been.

We fought valiantly but they had more firepower at the end of the day. The difference was all of the threes by Mikal, Crowder and Payne. Hell, even Carter threw one in from 30 feet away as time ran out with his eyes closed. We definitely missed IQ and Burks tonight.

Remaining schedule of the teams involved:

NYK (37-30) – @LAC, @LAL, SAS, CHA, BOS;
ATL (37-31) – WAS, WAS, ORL, HOU;
MIA (36-31) – @BOS, @BOS, PHI, @MIL, @DET;
BOS (35-32) – MIA, MIA, @CLE, @MIN, @NYK;

It’s hard to tell what is the best outcome in the MIA-BOS matchups, because we’re still aiming for the 4th/5th game with ATL. For the Top6 goal it’s easy, it’s best that the team farther behind (BOS) loses both, which would (probably) put the Celtics in the play-in (a plus :P) getting the chance to witness the “Terry Rozier revenge game” in the 7th/8th play-in game (another plus). ;D

I went to bed at the end of the 3rd quarter and seems like I missed quite a collapse

But this one is behind us, and we’re still 4th, so not all is bad. 😉 Now let’s try to sweep the LA teams. 🙂

Didn’t watch the game, but reading the game thread i see that we hanged in there until the 4th quarter. Gotta address this trend to have awful 4th quarters, and i think i even prefer our previous trend of having awful 3rd quarters, because that way we still had a quarter to make up for it.
