Saturday Afternoon AFL: 1995 - Round 1 - Richmond vs Fremantle (1995)
Rich vs Frem, at the MCG.
Fremantle football club's debut. Cometti killing it in the commentary box early, Ridley kicks the opener for the Dockers. Richardson takes a good grab and converts. Bell with a good start in his debut, with 2 early goals, Fremantle up 4 at quarter-time. The Tigers despite their accuracy woes hit the lead in the 2nd, really starting to get on top of things. Ridley kicks a good goal across the body on the angle, for his third, Richmond lead by 12 at the half. Stiff ruck free against Burton, resulting in a gimme goal. The Tigers extending the margin to 24 going into the 4th. Burton impressing in his debut, despite the deficit. Freo makes a late push, getting it back within a goal. Richmond though home by 5 points. Bell after the great start, ended the game with just the 6 disposals and 2 goals. The Tigers won the hit-outs, with an equal amount of the footy, though used it more via foot. Richmond with 6 more scoring shots, the Dockers with better accuracy. Brendon Gale best afield despite off injured in the final term, with 17 disposals, 7 marks and 2 goals. Campbell 27 disposals, 7 marks and a goal. Broderick 18 disposals and a goal. For Freo, Allan 28 disposals, 4 tackles and a goal. Burton 21 disposals, 13 hit-outs and 7 marks. Ridley 12 disposals, 5 marks and 3 goals.

633 Squadron (1964)
Keep your eyes open. We're going in.
In 633 Squadron, a RAF squadron is assigned to knock out a German rocket fuel factory in Norway. The factory supplies fuel for the Nazi effort to launch rockets on England during D-Day.
The characters and dialogue pretty empty, with plenty of silly visuals and ample dull downtime, however there's some resonating potency in the weighted story, of those willing to make sacrifices for the greater good. Cliff Robertson gives a solid lead performance, Maria Perschy as the attractive love interest. The bombing scenes akin to the attack on the Death Star in Star Wars, hehe. Could go higher or lower on this one.
NBA on Bally Sports: Nov 26 2023 - Hawks vs Celtics (2023)
Hawks @ Celtics, Nov 26 2023.
Holiday and Porzingis out for Boston. With some suspect calls early, Tatum's living at the line. Young keeping Atlanta in it, down 7 at the quarter break. Bogdanovic 3 of 3 from in off the bench, Brown with a big-time flush on Capela. The Hawks getting nothing inside, the Celtics out to a sizeable 16-point halftime lead. Bogdanovic continues on knocking down the 3-ball, without a miss, Boston still hold an 8-point lead going into the 4th though. Young doing as much as he can, but the Atlanta can't get stops, on Tatum in particular. The Celtics give them chances late, but still home comfortably. Boston shot better from the field, Atlanta from 3, Boston just 13 of 47. The Celtics took better care of the ball and were +15 on the boards. Tatum with 34 points, 9 boards and 2 steals, though 6 turnovers. Horford 6 points, 15 boards, 2 blocks and no turnovers, with quality defense. White 15 points, 11 assists and 3 steals. Brown 21 points and 7 boards. For Atlanta, Bogdanovic an efficient 23 points off the bench, 7 of 10 from deep and 7 boards, though 4 turnovers. Young 33 points, 7 assists and 5 boards, but 5 turnovers. Hunter an efficient 24 points. Murray just 2 of 13 from the field.

NBA on Bally Sports: Nov 25 2023 - Mavericks vs Clippers (2023)
Mavs @ Clippers, Nov 25 2023.
The Clippers scoring easily at the basket verse the Dallas defense, Mann with 8 quick points. Doncic goes off with injury for much of the term, the Clippers take an 11-point lead to the quarter break. Doncic returns, seems fine. Dallas in no way emulates their coach's playing style, other than Doncic being a triple-double guy. Kidd was a great defender, passer, rebounder, leader and all-round player, he would literally pick up LeBron defensively consistently throughout that Championship series verse Miami and contain him, which is absurd. A largely overlooked factor, making a difference in so many ways. The margin remains 11 at the half, without Leonard even making a shot. The Clippers go up 20 in the 3rd and the Mavericks never challenge, going down by 19 points. Neither team shot well, the Clippers better from both the field and 3 though and with much more production at the line. Both teams took care of the ball, Dallas just 9 turnovers, however the Clippers +20 on the boards. George with 25 points and 9 boards, just 1 turnover. Powell a very efficient 15 points off the bench, without a blemish. Westbrook 14 points off the bench, with 7 assists and 8 boards, 4 offensive. Mann 17 points. Zubac 11 points and 14 boards, 4 offensive. Leonard and Harden combine 4 of 20 from the field. For Dallas, Irving 26 points and 6 boards, just 1 turnover. Doncic 30 points, 2 steals and 2 blocks. Their other starters just 3 of 12 from the field, for 9 points.

Friday Night Football: Round 15: Richmond vs Essendon (1995)
Rich vs Ess, at the MCG.
Stars out of the lineup for each side, Richardson and Knights the Tigers, Mercuri and Fletcher the Bombers. A lot of whistles being blown early, but no score. Hird kicks the opener for Essendon, soon followed by Denham. Hird setting up his team and involved in everything. Richmond ends the term well though, to be within 5 at the quarter break. Hird involved in consecutive goals in the 2nd, kicking the latter. Maxfield slots it on the run from the angle. Hird on fire though, takes a great grab and converts from 55. O'Donnell follows from outside 50 and Symons intercepting well down back for Essendon. Jurica with a lucky grubber from 50 and then soon kicks another, for his fourth. A good half, the Bombers lead by 12. Brendon Gale kicks back to back goals to start the 3rd and it's square. Back and forth in the term, Essendon up 2 going into the last. Hird's marking superb all game, while Salmon inaccurate on goal. "He's just too good Hird," as he marks, plays on and slots his fifth. A tight game, the Tigers hit the lead late, before Essendon ties it up again and it's a draw... Fitting. Richmond marginally won the hit-outs, the Bombers with much more of the footy. The Tigers applied 12 more tackles and used it mostly via foot, Essendon with 2 more scoring shots. Hird best afield, with 23 disposals, 13 marks, pretty much all contested, 4 tackles and 5 goals. Symons 22 disposals and 9 marks. Denham 25 disposals, 4 tackles and 2 goals. For Richmond, Broderick 26 disposals, 5 tackles and 2 goals. Jurica 10 disposals, 5 marks and 5 goals. Brendon Gale 19 disposals, 10 marks and 3 goals.
3. (Ess) J. Hird, 2. (Rich) P. Broderick, 1. (Rich) S. Jurica.
Collide (2016)
More like a fender bender.
In Collide, an American backpacker gets involved with a ring of drug smugglers and winds up on the run.
The story's weak, as well as the execution of it. While it has its moments, it's trying to be too slick for its own good and fails, as it's altogether lax and unrealistic. For instance; Geran says the truck driver's like the Terminator, yet the protagonist who's not a professional, had like 1000 bullets shot at him by professionals and not one landed. Nicholas Hoult as lead was entirely forgettable and I thought Ben Kingsley overdid it, mocking the role. Anthony Hopkins and Felicity Jones however did themselves no disservice.
NBA on ESPN: Nov 24 2023 - Heat vs Knicks (2023)
Heat @ Knicks, Nov 23 2023.
In-Season Tournament - Herro and Robinson out for Miami. New York starts on a 10-1 run, but the Heat turn it around and take a 3-point lead to the quarter break. Both offenses struggle in the 2nd, the Knicks seem to turn down easier shots for more difficult ones. Butler with an and1, a steal and a 3 consecutively, New York ahead by 1 at the half though. Miami goes on a massive 19-0 run to start the 3rd, up 16 going into the last. The Heat go cold in the 4th though and the Knicks cut into the deficit. Miami uncharacteristically giving up too many open 3's and New York goes on to take the lead and end up getting the narrow victory. The Heat really poor in the 4th, putting up just 11 points. The Knicks shot better from the field and 3, Miami with more production at the line, hitting 20 of 21. The Heat took much better care of the ball, New York +5 on the boards. Brunson with 24 points, Quickley 20 off the bench. Randle 13 points, 7 assists and 8 boards, but 6 turnovers. For Miami, Butler 23 points. Adebayo 21 points, 12 boards and 2 steals.

Evidence (2013)
Poor.
In Evidence, a detective hunts down a killer using video footage shot by the victims of a massacre at an abandoned gas station.
It's a bad found footage shaky cam slasher. What we see purposely isn't clear, with random cuts, minimal dialogue, incoherent and implausible. The characterization's thin all-round, we simply don't care about any of the characters or anything that's happening. Hardly any time is spent in real-time, the detectives should've had more depth and screen time or not been there at all. I mean, what a waste of actress Radha Mitchell. There's no reasoning behind these killings either, other than to make a film. Not sure what it has to offer, found it sleep inducing myself.
NBA on ESPN: Nov 22 2023 - Bucks vs Celtics (2023)
Bucks @ Celtics, Nov 22 2023.
The annoying Mark Jones in commentary... Brown attacks and flushes it right off the bat and Boston starts on a 10-0 run, harassing Giannis. The Celtics out to a 12-point lead at the quarter break. They go up 20 in the 2nd, knocking down the 3-ball... Someone needs to shut up Mark Jones jeez, Boston up 14 at the half. Lillard with a steal and transition dunk, but Milwaukee can't cut into the lead. Lopez keeping the Bucks around. Lillard comes with a push, but leaves it too late, Boston gets the win. The Celtics shot well, better from the field and 3. Milwaukee took better care of the ball, with just 9 turnovers and +4 on the boards. Brown with an efficient 26 points and 8 assists, just 1 turnover. Tatum 23 points and 11 boards. Porzingis 21 points and 6 boards. Horford 11 points, 6 assists and 8 boards off the bench, with no turnovers. For the Bucks, Lopez an efficient 28 points, 7 boards, 5 offensive, with no turnovers. Lillard 27 points, 5 assists, 5 boards and 2 steals. Giannis an inefficient 21 points, 5 assists, 13 boards and 2 steals.

The NBA on TNT: Nov 21 2023 - Cavaliers vs 76ers (2023)
Cavs @ Sixers, Nov 21 2023.
In-Season Tournament - Mitchell out for Cleveland. Wow, this court is really red. Porter again with instant offense off the bench for the Cavs, Philly's bench on the other hand doesn't look so good. Cleveland up 3 at the quarter break. Porter making all the right plays, Thompson blocks Reed at the rim. Maxey catches fire in the 2nd, but the Cavs still go up double-digits. Strus hits the buzzer-beater 3 to give Cleveland a 12-point lead going into halftime. It's all Garland in the 3rd, the Cavs up 9 going into the 4th. The Sixers tie it up late, Mobley with a good block and retrieve on Harris at the rim. Beverley hits a lucky clutch floater, but Garland responds and it goes to OT. Philly guards take Garland out of the play in OT, but Porter takes it straight into Embiid and puts the Cavs ahead. It's back and forth, Cleveland pulls out the win. The Cavs shot better from the field and 3, Philly with more production at the line, Cleveland +12 on the boards. Garland with 32 points, 8 assists, 5 boards and 3 steals. Porter 12 points and 9 assists off the bench. Allen 26 points, 13 boards, 6 offensive. For Philly, Embiid 32 points, 5 assists, 13 boards, 2 steals and 5 blocks, but 6 turnovers. Harris an efficient 23 points and 2 steals, with no turnovers. Maxey 30 points and 6 assists, just 1 turnover.

A Delicate Balance (1973)
It has something, not sure it's something you want though... i.e. the plague.
In A Delicate Balance, a well-to-do Connecticut family is upended when the grown daughter's godparents, seized by a nameless terror, decide to come live with them.
The film's part captivating, part nonsensical rambling twaddle, in one location and uneventful. Almost unbearable early on, with it seems their days and nights spend drinking. It is clearly intruding by their friends, they could've just asked to stay there for a while and it would've been fine. Them telling the daughter what to do is altogether another story, you have no place doing that. The conclusion's pretty weak, something that would simply negate the whole thing given a little thought.
NBA on Bally Sports: Nov 20 2023 - Clippers vs Spurs (2023)
Clippers @ Spurs, Nov 20 2023.
Vassell out for San Antonio. Wow, they just changed a foul call on Wembanyama after he complained, can't recall seeing that happen before. Like I've seen them take it back with an inadvertent whistle, but not just change their mind without a review. Looks like the commentary on Wembanyama's going to be saying "Wish he would play in the paint more" for ever, certainly has the skills though. Kawhi and George hitting nothing but net on all their 3's in the opening term, the Clippers up 6. Wow, the Clippers have traded all their picks til 2030, that's nutters. They extend the lead to 11 going into halftime. The Clippers kick the lead out to 20, with a pretty dominant Kawhi, the Spurs though cut it to 14 going into the last. George good in the 4th, the Clippers unchallenged in this one. The Clippers shot better from the field and 3, with also more production from the line, San Antonio just 26% from 3. The Spurs turned it over a lot more, the Clipper just 7 turnovers and +2 on the boards. Leonard with 21 points and no turnovers, sitting much of the 4th. George an efficient 28 points, 6 assists and 5 boards. Theis a good addition, with an efficient 19 points and 7 boards off the bench. Harden 13 points, 10 assists, 2 steals and no turnovers. Powell 19 points, 5 boards and 2 steals off the bench. For San Antonio, Johnson 22 points, 5 assists and 10 boards.

NBA on Bally Sports: Nov 19 2023 - Nuggets vs Cavaliers (2023)
Nuggets @ Cavs, Nov 19 2023.
Mitchell out for Cleveland, Murray the Nuggets. Mobley with multiple defensive stops on Porter and the Cavs knocking down the 3-ball, up 2 at the quarter break. Wade falling over out of bounds, hits the spinning contested 3 to beat the shot-clock. Rookie Porter with a quick 11 off the bench for Cleveland. Denver's rookie Strawther with a block and transition dunk, followed by a 3. The Cavs take an 8-point lead to the half. Cleveland doing a good job consistently getting into the paint in the 3rd, Jokic picks up his fifth foul early in the term and Cleveland goes up 20. Porter hits back to back 3's for the Nuggets, the second well contested. Cleveland's Porter with the steal and transition dunk though and the Cavs up 17 going into the 4th. Rookie Porter impresses here, Cleveland home comfortably. Both teams shot well, the Cavs better from the field, Denver from 3. The Nuggets took a bit better care of the ball, Cleveland +14 on the boards. Porter for the Cavs, with an efficient 21 points and 2 steals off the bench. Garland an efficient 26 points and 6 assists. Mobley 16 points, 5 assists, 10 boards and 2 blocks. For Denver, Jokic 18 points, 7 assists and 10 boards. Porter 21 points and 6 boards.

Saratoga (1937)
Watchable, fine.
In Saratoga, bookie Duke Bradley turns an eye to the daughter of the now deceased gambler and her millionaire fiancee, after winning a stud farm in lieu of gambling debts.
The film's mildly amusing, but silly just the same. Like why wouldn't Carol tell Madison that he's being hustled by Duke from the get-go and would Madison not see other price offers about and lose trust in Duke. The racing's not that well done and little detail within giving the setting. The performances are mostly overdone, but they're likeable enough. It seems to me that Clark Gable plays the same sort of role in every film... though decent.
NBA on ESPN: Nov 17 2023 - Kings vs Spurs (2023)
Kings @ Spurs, Nov 17 2023.
In-Season Tournament - Vassell out for San Antonio. Wembanyama doing it easy early, for a Spurs 9-0 run start and Johnson hits back to back 3's, Sacramento in a hole. Monk with an 8-0 run himself off the bench for the Kings though, bringing the them back within 2 at the quarter break. Collins picks up the slack for San Antonio in the 2nd. Fox with the step-back 3 to end the half and it's all square. Sacramento goes up double-digits early in the 3rd, but the Spurs bring it back to a 1-point deficit going into the 4th, with Wembanyama's defensive impact. The Kings kick away late to get the victory, with Fox leading the way. Sacramento shot well, better from the field and marginally from 3, the boards and turnovers pretty even. Fox with a very efficient 43 points, 7 assists and 8 boards, with just 1 turnover. Monk an efficient 20 points off the bench, 6 of 9 from deep, with 8 assists and only 1 turnover. Sabonis an efficient 27 points, 7 assists and 14 boards. For San Antonio, Collins an efficient 28 points, 5 assists, 8 boards and 3 steals. Johnson 21 points, 7 assists and 9 boards. Wembanyama 27 points, 9 boards and 2 steals.

NBA on Bally Sports: Nov 16 2023 - Nets vs Heat (2023)
Nets @ Heat, Nov 16 2023.
Herro out for Miami. The Heat start cold, but Butler methodically gets them back and they take a 3-point lead to the quarter break. Claxton with a good block and retrieve, then gets the and1 dunk the trip down and another soon after on an oop. Miami ends the half of a 14-0 run though, up 8. It's a steady dose of Jimmy in the 3rd and he takes over late in the term, the Heat up 12 going into the 4th. Bam takes Claxton to the basket and slams it on him, Shaq style. Rookie Jaquez looks quite comfortable on the floor witnessing multiple games. The Nets don't challenge, Miami with its 7th straight win. The Heat shot well, better from all areas and took better care of the ball, Brooklyn +8 on the boards. Butler with a very efficient 36 points, 5 boards and 3 blocks. Robinson an efficient 26 points, no turnovers. Adebayo 20 points, 7 boards and 2 steals. For the Nets, Claxton an efficient 16 points, 7 of 7 from the field, 6 boards and 3 blocks. Bridges 23 points, 5 assists and 7 boards. Walker 23 points off the bench.

Prey (2022)
No.
If you're a Predator fan, which I'm not, how could you not be disappointed with Prey, it's so demeaning...
Essentially it's a girl that wants to be a boy, consistently running away, fortunate to survive. She isn't made an example of and doesn't learn from her failures. Everyone around her dies and it ends with a stupid fantasy outcome... I don't even know what that ending is. I mean, she's not even in physical shape to be doing any such things. I'm surprised the dog survived, not dying defending its master even. I really don't understand this rating or the praise it has gotten. It's poorly done and implausible.
The NBA on TNT: Nov 14 2023 - Clippers vs Nuggets (2023)
Clippers @ Nuggets, Nov 14 2023.
In-Season Tournament - Murray out for Denver. Harden off to a poor start for the Clippers, not sure why they didn't acquire a big. Should probably be winning here though, with Murray out. I dunno why they aren't putting Jokic in pick and roll coverage every single possession, wearing him out and trying to get him in foul trouble, with all these scorers. Only Harden's doing it thus far, Denver up 2 at the quarter break. The ball isn't moving for the Clippers and they have no pace, yet Leonard isn't getting the ball in the post either. The Nuggets up double-digits in the 2nd, but the Clippers hit two much needed 3's to end the half, down 8. The Clippers missing way too many close-range shots and Porter starts to get going as the Clippers are coming. Leonard with multiple steals and Harden in the groove, puts the Clippers ahead. Gordon hits a buzzer-beater 3 though to tie it up going into the 4th. The Clippers gotta finish at the basket, instead of always kicking it out for a 3. Not gonna be a contender doing that unless you have Steph Curry. George goes to work to push the Clippers back ahead, playing small-ball. Goes to the wire, Denver pulls out the win. The Nuggets shot better from the field, the Clippers from 3. The Clippers took better care of the ball and were +6 on the boards. Gordon with an efficient 20 points, 5 assists and 5 boards. Jokic not having a great shooting night, though 14 of 14 from the line, for 32 points, 9 assists and 16 boards. For the Clippers, George an efficient 35 points, 7 boards and 3 steals, with just 1 turnover. Harden 21 points and just 1 turnover. Leonard 5 steals. Zubac 13 boards, 7 offensive.
3. (Lac) P. George, 2. (Den) A. Gordon, 1. (Den) N. Jokic.
Mine Games (2012)
Bad.
Mine Games fails on many fronts, without enough reasoning and poorly executed.
So a schizophrenic with a murderous alter ego, elects not to take his medication and everyone dies. I mean, he shouldn't be there in the first place and yes lets explore an abandoned mine, because of the fun... The time loop made things happen, but only because of him being susceptible to it. The performances are pretty amateurish and it's quite dull. Having seen Joseph Cross play the evildoer before, there was little doubt that Michael would be responsible. Like there's not even a backstory, the time loop just is.
NBA on NBC: Nov 13 2023 - Knicks vs Celtics (2023)
Knicks @ Celtics, Nov 13 2023.
Barrett out for New York. Tatum's attacks to the basket are so under control and sure of himself these days, the touches are more divided though with the current roster, Boston up 1 at the quarter break. Tatum with the and1 in the 2nd, as the Knicks were pulling away. White with a good block, leading to a Tatum transition hoop. Brown hits a 3 just before the halftime buzzer, New York up 1. Brunson with a steal and 3 to start the 3rd and Robinson shuts down consecutive attacks by Tatum and Brown. Grimes hits back to back 3's, the Celtics with a strong finish to the term though, up 8 going into the last. Hart with a crazy 3, passing off Holiday's back to himself and then Brunson hits a big contested 3 as well. Tatum though takes over, to put the Knicks away. An excellent game here, with good commentary. Boston shot well, better from the field and 3. Both teams taking care of the ball, New York with just 8 turnovers, the boards even. Tatum with an efficient 35 points, 7 assists and 6 boards. Porzingis with an efficient 21 points and 6 boards, just 1 turnover. Holiday 14 points and 7 boards, 4 offensive. Hauser 4 of 6 from deep off the bench. For the Knicks, Brunson with 26 points.

NBA on Bally Sports: Nov 12 2023 - Heat vs Spurs (2023)
Heat @ Spurs, Nov 12 2023.
Herro and Lowry out for the Heat. Sochan contains Butler and switches out onto Robinson to block the 3-point attempt. Bassey with a nice backdoor pass to McDermott for the flush, San Antonio out to a sizeable 14-point lead at the quarter break. Robinson with back to back success getting to the hoop, then the 3, Miami putting together a 17-0 run, bringing the deficit back to 3 going into halftime. Sochan with back to back 3's and the Spurs quickly kick the lead back out to double-digits, before the Heat bring the deficit back to going into the 4th. Wembanyama impacts in so many facets of the game, though not always positively. Robinson giving us plenty of moves tonight, perhaps his most complete offensive game and Miami able to close it with veteran leadership. The Spurs shot better from the field and 3, the Heat with significantly more production from the line, at 93%. Miami took much better care of the ball as well, with only 4 turnovers, San Antonio +9 on the boards. Robinson with an efficient 26 points and 5 boards, with no turnovers. Adebayo 24 points, 6 assists, 11 boards, 4 offensive and 3 steals, no turnovers. Butler 19 points and 6 boards. For the Spurs, Sochan 16 points, 6 of 9 from the field, with 5 boards and 2 blocks. Johnson 20 points, 6 assists and 12 boards. Wembanyama an inefficient 18 points, 7 assists and 11 boards, with 7 turnovers.

Just Before Dawn (1981)
Pretty bad, but some of it suffice.
In Just Before Dawn, five young people venture into the backwoods of Oregon to claim a property, and find themselves being stalked by a hulking, machete-wielding psychopath.
A weird film. Forest Ranger comes to help in darkness, shoots one of the killers then leaves them to camp the night... Constance kills the other with her bare hands, while her strong boyfriend Reddick of "The Killing " watches on in fear, watching her being suffocated. Movie ends, nothing addressed. Was starting to think Warren was in on it, owning the property and bringing them here, but guess not. Deborah Benson was a suffice actress. The two killer brothers are about as amateur as you can get, without reason or thought.
NBA on NBC: Nov 11 2023 - Raptors vs Celtics (2023)
Raptors @ Celtics, Nov 11 2023.
Trent out for Toronto. Barnes with a 3, then a steal the play down for a Raptors transition hoop. Toronto playing a big lineup and doing a good job pressuring, Boston still lead by 4 at the quarter break though. Hauser hits back to back 3's in the 2nd, to put the Celtics up double-digits, up 9 at the half. They kick out to 20 in the 3rd, Porzingis doing all the right things on the floor for Boston. It becomes a blowout in 4th. The Celtics shot significantly better from the field and better from 3, the Raptors with more production at the line. Toronto with just 8 turnovers, Boston +9 on the boards. Brown with an efficient 29 points and 5 boards. Porzingis an efficient 21 points and 7 boards. Tatum 27 points and 5 boards. Hauser and Flynn knocking down shots off the bench for either side, each with 12 points.

Christopher Strong (1933)
Watchable, not great.
In Christopher Strong, a famous female flier and a member of Parliament drift into a potentially disastrous affair.
The whole thing feels sinister from the outset and that feeling remains throughout the film. The lead Colin Clive, stone faced and bland. Katharine Hepburn though the main appeal, not quite her captivating self here in her second film. Perhaps in part to appease the director's vision, dunno. The daughter naive in the first place, to not ponder beyond her own existence, having Cynthia drive Christopher home, plus pretty annoying. However I did find the wife's position interesting in that she neither acts hostile or steps away and even shows grace towards the.
NBA on ESPN: Nov 10 2023 - Nets vs Celtics (2023)
Nets @ Celtics, Nov 10 2023.
In-Season Tournament - Brown with the and1, then a 3 and another, Boston up 5 at the quarter break. Brown with a nice steal in the 2nd and the Celtics go up double-digits, up 12 at the half. Not enough defensive pressure being applied by Brooklyn, despite the team being built of other team's lockdown defenders, Boston up 9 going into the last. Pritchard killing it on the offensive glass and the Celtics kick the lead out to 20 in the 4th and home comfortably. The Nets actually shot better from both the field and 3. Both teams taking care of the ball, Boston with just 7 turnovers and +6 on the boards, with 17 offensive. Brown with an efficient 28 points and 5 assists.
