2023-24 Running NBA thread

Cunningham is pretty good, but they've got him playing the LeBron position and I don't think he's really physically up to it. The rest of the roster is a grab bag of mismatch toys which falls on Weaver (and by extension Gores).
A lot of people have been bitching about Williams' coaching, his rotations have been pretty nonsensical at times. It was revealed last week his wife had been undergoing cancer treatments which were apparently successful, so possibly his attentions were divided early in the season. At any rate there's plenty more wrong with the team than the coaching.

 

Lost in a lot of the "Chris Paul sucks in the playoffs" discourse the past few years is that he's still incredibly value night-to-night, if you want to win games. His efficiency has finally tumbled a bit this year, as his FTA per 36 have fallen as well as his 3-point shooting.

 

Celtics/Pistons 66-47 at halftime.

Detroit.

 

Now 77-76 Pistons, 4:00 left in 3Q.

 

100-98 Pistons, 4:00 to play. Gut check time for Celtics

 

Tatum scored on goaltending on Cunningham with 08.0 left. Celtics 108-106

 

Goaltending call was correct- Cunningham got it coming off the backboard

Clock reset to 8.7. Pistons bsll at halfcourt trailing 2.
