Wyc’s gonna be writing some more big checks soon

Damn it, Payton.
Is the Buffalo the best “not top 100 player” in the NBA?
Turns out diving for the ball once in exchange for 10 mediocre offensive plays > solid defense and solid offense.
Can we take a moment to appreciate Joe? His emphasis to the team to play defense this year is very noticeable, and he has all his players bought in to not taking plays of and not fucking around even when they have a big lead.
He’s constantly harping on them making lazy passes or rotations. I think he’s doing well with experimenting with different lineups and subbing them out quickly if they look bad
Nice early bucket for PP. Hope this gets him going
That was goaltending
Guy next to me moved to an empty seat one row in front of us. Hall of fame space creator badge
Derrick ” not in the top 100 ESPN ” White
I love these refs
30 point game if refs had eyes
Refs stop calling Celtic fouls challenge: Impossible
I love Mike. Scal: “Oh we didn’t get that?!?” Mike “well…that’s okay.”
Brissett with the hustle up 18.
JT VS EVERYONE
Theres a reason why JT has his own potato chip!!
Tatum is so much more willing to drive to the rim it’s what we’ve been begging for for years. He’s a fuckin force when he does that.
Only Tatum will put his hands up for a foul after making a clean bucket and being up 20.
Tatum has been turning it over a lil bit but I’d rather it now than the playoffs
Brissett’s got limitations offensively for sure but I really appreciate his hustle
Scal would make a great ref, hes wrong about every call
Pritchard with the baseline blow by for the easy lay-in, you love to see it.
Just when you were done getting rekt by Al Horford, Tingus comes into the game, thats rough
Great hustle by Payton.
Holy hell our defense this year is absolutely fucking suffocating.
We’ll probably still struggle against Warriors a bit because Steph just singularly drives defenses nuts. But Klay is washed af.
But there’s only one Steph.
The other 28 teams are fucked.
PP GOT A BUCKET MAKIN IT RAIN FROM 2 FEET AWAY BABY
Easy rebound, easy layup.
Nice self-pass by Pritchard…
Brissett so much heart
2 man game coming between KP and Jaylen, need to build their chemistry
PP is not good enough to take a 20 second left shot clock 3
So glad Brissett has overtaken Kornet in the rotation. Good stuff Joe.
I love Brissett
82-0 season otw
I straight up having a good time.
We going 101-0 boys
That’s contagious effort and hustle. Love it
20 point in and still got 7 mins in the half left lmfao.
Fucking massacre.
It’s only a small sample size, but it looks like we’re really stepping up our hustle game compared to last season
Celtics starters are 31.5 net rating in 3 games wow
Brissett’s got limitations offensively for sure but I really, **really** appreciate his hustle
Payton made a single layup and then proceeded to shoot a transition 3 like Steph Curry 🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️
Brissett needs to stay in the rotation for sure. Even if it’s 12 minutes you know he’s gonna be all over the place.
the level of difficulty of the Pacers shots compared to our is kinda silly
