Well. Pop has finally benched one of the turds. Now he just needs to bench that got Forbes and we will be looking pretty alright

[JeffDuncan]

Yeah the play-by-play has him getting the ft even though it was DeRozan who should get credited.

6:30		Lonnie Walker IV makes 26-foot three point jumper (Patty Mills assists)	114 - 95
6:30		Jaylen Brown shooting foul	114 - 95
6:30		Celtics Full timeout	114 - 95
6:30		Bryn Forbes enters the game for Patty Mills	114 - 95
6:30		Lonnie Walker IV makes free throw 1 of 1	115 - 95

Aha. Yes, no question it was DDR who shot and made the FT. Brown fouled DDR simultaneously with Lonnie's shot.

I don't know, I just find interesting to know if official NBA stat keepers actually ed that up. Has that ever happened before? Maybe with assists, rebounds, stls, etc. but probably never with pts.

These days it might even be a computer error, where the algorithm inserts the name of the one who made the field goal, when a free throw follows. Ordinarily, that would be right.

Does this mean DeRozan scored 31, not 30?

I assume so since the final score stays the same so if you're subtracting a point from one player, you need to add it to another in this specific situation.

Yeah Forbes hit some shots but let's not get lost in that. I can totally see those same shots falling for Lonnie.... or a combination of Lonnie, White, Patty and maybe even for Murray. Regarding his defense... it's all about the minutes he gets. Keep the minutes low and it won't matter. Also, he was kinda lucky on some of those defensive plays. I think that was more of his teammates playing a much more respectable kind of ball. Every time he did something good and i rooted for him i caught myself and remembered that he's only getting lucky. He'd get a B from me and the write-up would say what I've just said.

Damn, Lonnie and DeMar both looked good in those highlights. Lonnie looks fast as

LWIV will be the best two-way player in the league one day. He's going to take Nephew down for us.

[RC_Drunkford]

this is how I envisioned the team when I said run it back and bet on the improvement of the young guys. People want to trade DeRozan for a 3-and-D wing and start Lonnie, but I'd rather have DeRozan AND Lonnie. When Lonnie breaks out you got 2 wings who can create their own shot.

[Keepin' it real]

Any win with Bryson Forbes playing meaningful minutes is fool's gold.

[Allan Rowe vs Wade]

poeltl only 1 block?

The official NBA website has now changed the box score to DeRozan 31 and LWIV 18. The Grassy Knoll Of Basketball has been forced into the light of day by diligent fans.
