Good gawd. The NBA has got a huge officiating issue/scandal with Shai Gilgeous-Alexander.

On offense, players get called for one-arm pushoff fouls, whereas SGA can do it with impunity.

It clearly magnifies the officiating inconsistency and special treatment 'stars' receive.

The controversy isn't going away any time soon.

"Switching" was a staple of the NBA a generation ago. Offenses were different. Defenses were different.

But it's so infrequent now, I wonder if teams on offense have any clue how to attack.

Boston certainly doesn't look like it tonight.

On defense, OKC switches on screens/picks.
My sense is that very few NBA teams do this any more. They're petrified of 'mismatches'. So the on-ball defender either 1) runs behind the screen, allowing the ball handler to take an open jump shot or 2) run around the screen taking himself out of the play and allowing the ballhandler and screener to advance towards the hoop for a likely 2-on-1 shot attempt (often a lob dunk or layup).

But in all that noise, the player who’s been consistent from opening night gets overlooked. That’s Jaylen Brown. He’s been producing all season long and impacting the game on both ends of the floor, not just putting up numbers when it’s convenient for the narrative.

There’s something about 90s basketball that still lingers—the colors, the attitude, the feeling that every game mattered a little more.

The Boston Celtics Jayson Tatum 90s Vintage Shirt taps into that mood, blending today’s game with the texture of 90s basketball fashion. It feels less like merch and more like a quiet nod to a different era of hoops.

"J T for THREE!" feel like it's been forever since I've heard that live at the Garden. #Celtics
