The In-Season Tournament forced the Celtics to run up the score as much as they could against the Bulls, which led to some interesting thing happening on the floor that they should probably carry forward with them. From cutting more, to running through Al Horford, to just keeping an attacking mentality, John Karalis of Boston Sports Journal and Tom Westerholm discuss all the ways a very weird game might actually teach some good lessons.

It’s great beating up on scrub teams like the Bulls but the Celtics season will be determined how they perform in playoff 4th quarters against elite defenses who force the Jays into their worst tendencies . So far this season, it has been a mixed bag in that department. I’d like to see White and Porzingis usage go up and Browns go down in the forth quarter.
While I think some of Jaylen's lack of trust is all on him, I can't help but think a lot of it was about… Marcus. Just my intuition.
TOM: " This team's so talented they can get by with Luke Kornet starting a game or two" 😅😅😅 @Andy_Babb
The thing that doesn’t get talked about about last year’s ECF was the amount of holding Miami did every time Jaylen tried to go back door. Chicago did the opposite of that yesterday
I really like that, finally, there is universal recognition of all that Al does. Anyone remember the constant diatribe of "fans" bitching & moaning, ca. 2017, that Al is "overrated," "not a star," "why are we paying him so much?" etc? A legion of people who read points and rebounds and think that's everything.
The four games is simply problematic across the board. Think of it this way: The C's went into the Orlando game, and winning meant clinching. They lost, and suddenly they're needing to win by 23 AND a couple other things happen to advance. These are the kind of crazy swings you get from only 4 games.
The ultimate form of respect in competition is to give your all. It's playing down to your competition that is disrespectful.
Make winning the tournament a trump card to break any tie scenarios for playoff seeding. Chili Peppers during the lollopalooza days were nice. I was still listening lol
