Celts Cleave The Land! Game 3 Victory Cigar vs CLE 5/11 (BOS leads 2-1)

[Fierce1]

bench al, start hauser. go small and play 5 out and kill them with the drive & kick game

That's an interesting lineup.

But with a comfortable win and the Cavs held under 100, I don't think Joe makes changes at this point.

Celtics win. Yay!
I read on the General Board that Tatum is the Michael Jordan of Tobias Harris’s

[brackdan70]

Liked the way they played today. Nice bouce back. Tough D .

Yeah, right!

But if Tatum becomes a free-agent, every team with cap space will offer him the max.

I want to congratulate Joe on his excellent game adjustment.. Sitting Sam Howser after all solid first half on offense and defense was borderline genius..

Playing Al 39 minutes is definitely playing chess.. Everyone else is playing checkers..

Tatum with by far his best game of the POs. If he does this consistently and we bench both Horford/Kornet the rest of the POs, we taking home the chip.

[Shak_Celts]

I was happy Tatum went at them, I thought he started g2 the same way but this time he was a man on a mission and his shot stopped failing him (until the 4th). He was aggressive on offense in g2 but I thought he was aggressive in every aspect tonight! He rebounds it a lot most of the time anyway but I thought his body language was different, like more of "Eat this B!" Had a little pissed off to his demeanor!

I like that tat doesn't get up too high or too low and waste energy, he always plays and is consistently good, not always great, but rarely piss poor. He's been taken for granted. We deserve him and I hope we all get to see a chip this season (beyond). He's a good dude and player! I'm thankful.

[31to6]

Good win.

Tatum and Brown will get the votes, but Jrue set the tone and everyone followed.

Voted Jrue.

Yep. Jrue is the easy vote for me. From there it's deciding between the Jays.

[Riverwalk2021]

The Celtics defensive focus is a lot better on the road for some reason.

They get comfortable at home.

Since 2022, Cs are really good on the road.

horford playing 39 minutes at this stage in his career isnt fair to him or the team. he simply shouldnt be playing more than 20 min in any game even with KP hurt. give X some run. he can offer most of what horford is offering at this stage in his career

Especially if Al's gonna shoot 0/6 from 3

When do we start telling each other that we don’t know ball?

I don't know what that reporter did when al ate them up about his 3 pt shooting but he's been mediocre since then in the playoffs. Some type of spell they put on al, must have felt that Al embarrassed em, Al gave the impression of "google me!" Every time our team says something a little warm to the media we get bleh results with the same thing they talked about. Al 3s, Assassin shooting from White, "playoff Tatum", and defense with Joe last season and more! We gotta start giving more PR type answers when we are questioned, the team tends to overthink things or something.

Defense was tight and Tatum made some big boy baskets.

Imagine Brad trading for a player like Tillman as an insurance policy. Then imagine Tillman playing well when he gets his chance. Then imagine again that KP goes down with an injury. Al and Kornet stink it up.. Especially on defense...

Then imagine Joe not playing Tillman at all.. This reeks of total disrespect for Brad..

Brad should slap his bitch face..

And fire him as soon as possible..

In about 10 games.

That's being unreasonable.

If we base it on results, the Celtics won comfortably.

It's not like we just won by a miracle 3, like what Nembhard did to the Knicks.

If Joe insists on doing it his way and the Celtics lose, that's on Joe.

But asking Brad to fire Joe at this stage is just being unreasonable.

When do we start telling each other that we don’t know ball?

I don't really, I love it though. Not to say I don't know a lot more than casual fans but I don't know much compared to people who watch a lot (as much as I do lol) AND study it, those who know and can express what they see.

When you love it like most of us do, it doesn't really matter unless we're trying to get a job. We all help each other here so we get enough knowing out of it!
