What a horrible shooting night. How do you shoot double the amount of free throws, win the rebound and turnover margin by a lot, and have a 30+ point player but the game is still never competitive?

If the Celtics hadn't made the Fultz trade, they would have taken Tatum anyway, so I guess we can't factor Tatum when discussing that trade, right?
The difference is Tatum had a high chance to go between 1 and 3. Those two situations aren't synonymous because once again kuzma was projected for the second round and Lakers chose him in the first.

Why does any of that matter? They got Kuzma with the Nets pick. That's simply a fact. Who knows or cares about what could have or would have happened, that's all speculation. If you want to evaluate the trade, that's a part of it. You're only reaching on this because you want so desperately to discredit the trade from the Lakers standpoint, its pretty transparent.

Pacers back to .666 which is where we were at with Dipo. Holding onto the third seed kinda seems like a pipe dream, but we do have a fairly favorable schedule.

And I agree with you that that's a fact. Could they have not made the trade and got Kuzma? Yes. High probability they would have. So we can agree to disagree there.

dubs twice, rockets twice, raps twice, sixers, bucks, spurs, punished ad pels, can definitely lose to the nets and wizards got them both twice

Red hot Detroit Piss Tons are gunning for the Celtics next. They better wear their fucking MAGA ponchos, because it's gonna get wet. President may even tune in to watch this golden game.

Yeah I didn't see his stats. Sure didnt seem like it tonight tho. Bricked a bunch of open 3s when we needed em. I guess he came through in the end though. Still a pretty ugly win

He came through in the clutch with both an assist and a tough shot. He plays efficient, not flashy.

Once again, the game was only that close because the Nets shot the lights out from 3. When Raps adjusted to that, D'Angelo Russell went to work in the paint. Russell deserves the All-Star appearance, he's been ballin out this season.

Yes. But the probability was much lower since most projections for him were between first and 3. Kuzma was even projected in some instances to go undrafted. He wasn't highly recruited. Hence the agree to disagree.

Again why does that matter and what is your point? That Kuzma somehow doesn't "count" even though he was literally a part of that transaction?

Nets shoot 20/41 from 3 and we still won lol. Damn we good. SBA was poppin in the 4th. Place can still bring the noise

D-Russ got his but Crabbe/Harris is what kept it as close as it was (and the refs).

McCaw also balled the hell out, he's earned himself in the rotation for sure.

Can't wait till Gasol starts because he's just so damn good/savvy at what he does. He had that skyhook workin tonight. As well as poppin 3s and making some sweet dimes. Instantly a fan fave. And this was all without Lin/Fred too.
