The only good to come out of this game is the use of HH. He helps us more than Love. Maybe with Vincent back and HH in the rotation we have a chance in game 6.
celts were playing pretty bad for a long time.now they have confidence.not sure if we can get a game .hope we can of course.but we need superman jimmy and healthy gabe
That last play is what we need more of. They're crowding the paint and reaching their hands in to force turnovers whenever Bam drives. Need more kicking out for three point shot attempts
HH coming back to rotation, scratching my head?
Yo
