Offensively the KAT/Brunson pnr has to work like it’s 2 all nba players or we’re dead. If it’s successful, that will open up open looks for others, which they then have to knock down. Defensively, I’m sending OG under screens on Tatum and hoping he can recover quickly enough to bother him. Despite how he looked against us, Tatum is not that great of an off the dribble 3 point shooter, only 33% on the year.

nice try jennifer but we both know you’re still about 90 minutes away from accusing mikal bridges of embarrassing your entire family for committing a three second violation

That’s not Al, that’s his Innie. The opening tip is like the elevator bell on the Severed Floor.

(Speaking of the opening tip… don’t worry, milo… I’m prepared to run a regression analysis on every incremental inch KAT jumps and will tell you all about it.)

I honestly don’t even remember Boston picking on Brunson that much. They probably did but my biggest memory of the Celtics games is how many easy dunks and open threes they got while they screened KAT into oblivion away from the ball.

We’re still waiting for Thibs’ countermove to that stratagem.

I think Leon and some of the players are waiting, too. The missing piece this year was Mitch, and I think Thibs keeps or loses his job based on whether the Powers That Be think coach had enough time with the full roster. I think he did.
