☘️ C's have their stud five starting tonight. Keys tonight will be defense and shot selection. C's are wearing those ugly city edition uniforms. JB is going to dominate Mitchell tonight. Not a great start for the C's tonight. Very flat right now. Love seeing Jrue drive to the cup. He should be able to get there all game. No one on Toronto can guard him. Joe calls an early timeout as tonight's game sucks. What's with these slow starts lately? I don't like this trend going on.

But how may times this season are they going to have to "readjust"/ That is my point. Time for Joe Mazzulla to start Al Horford at the center spot and have Kristaps come off the bench to play with the likes of Payton Pritchard, Sa...
