Game #8: BOS vs. MIL

[jmost]

Solid win over a very good team that had been undefeated coming in, and we did it without Brown and Theis. The good news is that Kyrie is back in form, Gordon is getting closer every game and we're getting contributions from a lot of guys.

Here's my stat of the day: Smart is taking HALF as many shots per game as he did in the last three seasons. I don't know if it's something he's been coached to do (shoot less) or something he's come to himself, but either way, it's great news. 4.5 shots per game is way better than 9.5 shots per game when you are a .333 shooter.

I agree, a solid win. Yesterday's game kind of reminded me of a playoff game vs MIL last season, where MIL shot 60% from the FG, and still lost. Reason - MIL shot all 2's, and BOS was on fire shooting 3's. I think Stevens out coached Budenholzer.

Side note - I think the East is like the game: paper, rocks, scissors. Here goes the NBA version.

1. BOS> MIL, PHI.
2. TOR> BOS, MIL.
3. PHI> TOR.
4. MIL> PHI.

They looked so in control in this game. I think putting Jaylen in the 2nd unit with Terry, Smart, and Baynes could be awesome. You'd have a playoff team 2nd unit
