Awesome move by Lue starting Kyle.  Worked like a charm (+16).

What the hell is Simmons made of?  There have been some poised rookies in this league but damn.  He and Mitchell look like 10 year vets.  

This fool damn near gets into a fight with James Johnson, composed himself, then scores on him repeatedly.  I think he plans on playing his whole career without shooting threes because he fully understands the philosophy of dominating the paint and that it shapes the flow of the game in terms of physicality, far more impactful than making a few threes.  He’s also smart enough to know with all the shooters on his squad it’ll be downright stupid to take attempts away from them.  The quality of his triple doubles almost guarantee that his team wins in an era where triple doubles have been watered down so much.

It seems Al magically manipulates advanced numbers (21 PER on only 18.6% usage, ridiculous 6.3 BPM in the playoffs). It’s time for be Celtics to finally dominate on the road and do the impossible.  Totally killing the Cavs in 3 out of the 4 factors (offensive glass, turnovers, and FTs per FGA).  They’re shooting awfully, still have a +14 offensive rating.  

Lue is awful and likely gone next season.  I thought for sure Hood, Clarkson, and Hill were specifically brought in to prevent LeBron from pounding the ball and getting gassed.  Two of the them are only playing decent defense, the other relegated to a bench scrub after successfully running Point for the Jazz for a couple weeks.  WTF.

Genius Brad blew it, Seeees in the bonus early in the 4th and yet they kept jacking up 3s, Tatum with the hot hand and they weren't going to him.

Go fishing Celts! Cry your green tears.
