Those 2 turnovers at the final minute of the game is very huge because the Celtics converted it into points and yes those 4 free throws by Williams sealed the deal.
You can also in his face a bit of a pressure because his free throw will dictate the outcome of the game.

A blooper has been made when one announcer thought that it will go to Overtime where in fact the Celtics win. The Announcers are in another world . Now the Bulls are in a 3 game losing streak and 0.5 games behind Brooklyn who is in 2nd. With the absence of Lavine for a brief moment, I think that Bulls will not hold the top spot for some time. Seeing the current standings and the top 4 in the East all have 27 wins so there is a chance that we might see new team at the top after a few games.

^ It was such a close game. Firstly congrats to the Celtics for the win. I thought that the Bulls might win this match but the Celtics proved me wrong. It all came down to the last minutes of the game and this is the type of game we want to see more. Nail-biting and thrilling - not knowing till the last second who would win. Both the teams played really well IMO.

^ players from the Celtics hit the double-digit mark and the trio of Derozan, Vucevic, and Dosunmu scored 20+ points for the Bulls. The last two turnovers were quite the most impactful event in the match as I think that is a big reason why the Celtics won.

They really missed the services of a high caliber point guard, which is Holiday. And it's evident in this game as there are no one that can distributed the ball around.

Again, Giannis try to do it by himself, but without any help other than Middleton, the defending champion looks like an ordinary team.

Toronto is on a roll right now as they are almost at full strength with this victory.

What I find amazing from Jrue's game is his defense, he never failed to be included in the all-defensive first or second teams almost every season, VanVleet was a problem outside but Siakam was a beast, they needed that exterior defense pretty much, and George Hill is not known for his defense, they also needed Khris Middleton's production points, sadly, he was underperforming and in result, they lost to the Raptors, it was a different energy when they faced the Warriors  vs. how they faced the Raptors.

They are only dominant inside if they have Brook Lopez, without him that dominant is not consistent. Jrue is a big piece for the Bucks especially on the defensive side and on making plays as well. I was also thinking that the Bucks could win, but disappointed with the result as they lose at home after beating the Warriors.

Lakers are always exposed every time they play a good team or a playoff team. Sometimes they'll have some winning streak but only against a weaker team and we should not be misled by what they show because they are as a team are messing up this season.

 How could management have so quickly dismembered and dismantled a world championship team? This is the worst defeat of the Lakers ever to Denver. Very bad defense from Lakers. I mean some years ago they lost at home with Lebron James elegantly on the bench waiting for the LA Derby against the Clippers two days later

Absolutely, Kuminga really needs more match time. He was on top of his form. I can say that the bench players saved the Golden State Warriors against The Bulls this time. But I am eager to see what happens when Draymond Green returns from injury and Stephen Curry gets his form right. Having this kind of backup from the bench players, I think the Golden State Warriors are looking at the championship this time.



The bulls had their 5th loss this season. Even they were on the lead of 20 points against The Trail Brazzers. I think that it was their worst loss this season. They even got a good start, 10-4 lead. But they could keep it up till the last moment. Bulls learned in a hard way that in a pro game like this, they need to keep up the play till the last moment. The bulls now have a perfect form. Every player is in the good shape. With DeMar DeRozan, Nikola Vucevic, and others, they have a really strong lineup. All they need to do is shake it off and give their all in the next matches. I think they are the team to dominate.

Slowly but surely, better for Klay to slowly getting his rhythm back.

Though they are losing but the exposure he's getting inside the court will allow him to adjust. There are more players who
can really provide, but the interior of GSW will remain the same.

Once Green, Iggy, Steph and Klay start to heat up, the whole squad will feel the impact, getting closer to the playoffs now,
good to see them playing the same form back then when they still the dominating champ.

You're certainly right, that was their big mistake as they trade 5 of their keyplayers just for Westbrook alone and they were fine before Westbrook was included in the equation. Also, the fact that they let Caruso and Caldwell-Pope go was indeed a very bad idea as they can be more flexible and useful in times like these so that LeBron can do his own attacks and doesn't carry the team too often.
