that was a fun quiz! I only got 6/10

I got 1/1. I had to re-run the first clip six or seven times, play it through once in stop-motion, squint to read the jersey numbers because I don't know most of the Celtics. Took two minutes--too much work.

i blamed kanter on the first one cause i figured it was a safe bet

wtg micah! i got 9/10 and was pleased w/myself but you are definitely qualified to coach the ilh hoops team.

coach mic coach mic

micah coach the Timberwolves

I got 9.5 Micah can I be your assistant?

haha sure mate

awesome just texted Glen Taylor

got 5/10. need to watch the man, not the ball.

6/10!

time for bostonceltics

ask yr doctor if bostonceltics is right for you

i did the quiz and got 7/10, expected like 5/10 at best; def had to pause and rewind every clip a couple times bc my brain is bad and worse every day and the game moves genuinely moves too fast for me on the defensive end

raps need another scorer badly

this is more how i expected this series to go at the start, celtics have all the best guys to break defensive stalemate games

Celtics defense is incredible

ok now this is a little better than i expected it to go

def had to pause and rewind every clip a couple times bc my brain is bad and worse every day and the game moves genuinely moves too fast for me on the defensive end

i definitely had to watch each clip multiple times, first just to square up what players were where even when i know all the guys on the floor, then to watch the on-ball action, then to watch the off-ball actions as many times as i needed to.

if it's this hard to analyze nba defense, it gives a great appreciation for how hard it must be to design, coach, and execute!

5/10 i suxor

really like kemba taking it to them tonight, its still better to run the offense through him than tatum against a really good defensive team like the raps he breaks the d down more

The Raptors have lost by 15 or more points seven times this year. Four of those losses have come to the Celtics.

Millsap STINKS

If he gets the ball on offense, a bad thing is probably happening and him getting back on defense is definitely not happening

he looks like the kind of vet who shouldn’t be playing in the playoffs anymore

He was still good before the bubble but WOOF

Literally the entirety of Michael Porter jr’s basketball IQ is rebounding

What the hell happened to montrezl in the bubble?

as is often the case i don't know exactly what you mean but it's pretty clear that he's been playing himself into shape

lol we are having absurd weather stuff here in the northwest (fire, smoke, extreme winds) and the power for my building went down just as this one was coming to the crux :/ :/

Jamal just didn’t have it tonight

murray and jokic were scared to jump shoot at the end of the game

porter jr is a pretty legit rebounder

Murray 5/17 just isn’t gonna cut it

I understand why he won’t do it because it is insanely frustrating on almost every level, but Malone just needs to bench Millsap and play porter

a vet like millsap would understand, you'd think

pretty much everyone on the clippers is like 28 or older and very physically mature i get why malone would temper porter mins with millsap. nuggs could use an olynyk type player at the back up big position who can fake it at center but not clog up their spacing on offense. millsap and plumlee aren’t bringing anything in this series except muscles

Lol no Plumlee has been great

In fact it might be worth trying twin towers lineups a little, Millsap has been that bad

plumlee has totaled 8 points, 9 rebounds, 7 assists and 10 fouls in 34 minutes. nice per 36 stats if the NBA doubles the individual foul limit.

it's the notes he's NOT playing

Jord 8,9 and 7 in 34 minutes is indeed good

Especially when you’re playing good defense, which he has been doing. Since he’s a good defender. Something you can see in this series if you watch it

If you watched the game tonight and didn’t see that plumlee had a nice game idk what to say

Jord 8,9 and 7 in 34 minutes is indeed good

he’s a decent player i’m not trying to trash him but if you’re a big in the NBA who can’t shoot you need to be high impact everywhere else to really be useful in major playoff series. the nuggets could really use jamychal greene honestly.

Sometimes committing a foul is the right play

only if it's called on a swipe block matt

haven't the plumlees caused enough division and hate in this world????

Murray just needed to play ok and they win that game. He’s overthinking his moves which is understandable since he has either pat Bev kawhi or pg guarding him all of which guard him completely differently and effectively. Millsap has a nice game 2 but Malone needs to be ready to pull the plug quick if it’s evident he’s off for the night. Hardest thing to do as a coach is yank the ol trusty vet who’s cooked but could still have it every few games.
