I hardly ever watch the NBA but watched this game (No MLB games on) and it reminded of the Hawkeyes playing NW in the 2022 BTT... Everything going right and the offense doing whatever it wanted no matter what Miami or NW did...

Luka did not play tonight (coach's decision).

Nikola Vucevic, who took Luka's minutes, played 23 minutes and was 1-10 (10%) from the field, 0-5 from three for 2 pts, 7 rebs, 2 assists, 2 steals and 1 turnover.

With 3 games left in the season: 1 win by Boston or 1 loss by the Knicks guarantees Boston the #2 seed for the Eastern Conference playoffs.

Vuc was not only missing, he had multiple airballs & some huge bricks in the final six minutes. They brought in Queta with two minutes left. Pretty pathetic showing from Vuc last night.

No matter what happens he's had an incredible season and been a very valuable asset for the Celtics. And at the end of the year he might just end up with a ring. Which would be pretty cool. Unfortunately it looks like he's not going to get much time moving forward.

Gotta be frustrating for Luka. Start three or four games ago and now with Nikola back he sits. Nicola is gone next season. No future with him. The praise the Celtics coaching staff heap on Luka is pretty hollow. Actions more than words tell the real story.
