Did Dame being out let them start Holliday again or were the Celtics not ok with that

I mean they had an excellent defense even before Jrue so I guess the conclusion is that Giannis and Lopez aren't that good?

They are starting backcourts made entirely up of people who suck rear end. Dame paired with Beasley and then Cam Payne paired with Beasley last night.

Prior to Jrue being on the team they still sometimes played some guards who tried on defense.

edit: the conclusion is that the Pacers are loving cool

mavs defence is like noticing somebody on the subway getting bug eyed and clutching their stomach and starting to bend at the waist and realizing that they're about to poo poo or puke themselves in public and you think oh god i wish there was something i could do to help but you can't do anything and then you make eye contact and the fear and shame in their eyes makes your heart feel like it weighs a hundred pounds and they just start poopin and pukin and it's awful in part because it smells so so bad but it's far more awful realizing the level of embarrassment they must be feeling

Someone asked Ant about this and just generally how he was still being pretty aggressive on defense even though he had 5 fouls and his response was basically "man they ain't gonna foul me out" which is very funny but is also probably going to lead to him fouling out in the next week or two on a very weak call to prove a point lol

It's really funny that 1 1/2 games without AD caused the Lakers to swing from the upper-middle to below the line. Although I guess when you lose or win every game by 3 possessions then you lose by 30 it changes the chart. (also probably commentary about looking at the chart at this point but whatever)

I think he's going to get this offseason to turn this into something that looks like it has a future. If they can't add shooting to just a median nba level I think that's the end of it. Unless our esteemed prison telephony owner wants to keep tanking forever

Haliburton is just a joy to watch. Too bad nobody will ever see him because the Pacers have one national game.

I hate to say something nice about college basketball but their new interpretation of the charge call seems better. You have to be in position before the player puts his plant foot down rather than before the player leaves the air. Seems less dangerous for everyone involved and less incentive to flop.

Ooh I like that. The worst thing about college ball has always been guys undercutting players going up for dunks/layups and being rewarded for it.

Crazy to think that in a couple games Bridges will be back, and before last season he was the promising young guy to pair with Melo, not Mark Williams/Brandon Miller
