To be continued from last game...
Picking up from last game, Mazzulla did not over play older players and it was key to success. J. Brown drove the lane and not only led the team in point paints but assists. Ball movement was the key 2h.
I am going to classify this game as a Love it play 5x at +3. I also parlayed 2u to win 21.4u BOSTON ML/DENVER ML.
Best of both worlds in a low risk high reward ML parlay.
Please refer to Boston thread for angles. Keeping this short and sweet. Boston found ball movement again and translated to easier buckets. Knicks will double J. Brown tonight to give up the ball at certain strategic points in the game, esp if he keeps scoring in the paint. Celtics outscored the Celtics by 20 points in game 5.
I expect Thibs to try to get Boston to play the one dimensional jump shot game to his advantage. Mazzulla needs to counteract with another PG or a drive and score/dish player, if J.Brown is contained with a rover defensive 2nd. The team that wins point paints tonight will have the advantage to cover if not win. 3pt shots if taken in masses have to be in the 38-40 percent range made. I prefer the grind it out game 7 mentality in the paint. EITHER WAY, ball movement will win this game for the Celtics.
Houser and Kornet did beyond what was expected. A repeat tough. Bring Queta off the bench for 3-5 minute blows. Give Thibs something to think about.
BTW apologize for the 2x loss tonight with OKC. Double down on Denver who found the key to keep OKC in a one one dimensional game and J. Williams frustrated. Interesting how OKC kept chucking up jump shots that created the 12 point separation. Sort of reminded me of the Knick series. OKC at home is no guarantee..
