Brown stepped up. But Al had a couple of huge 3's. White hit the game winning 3. Jrue made big plays on both ends of the floor, as did KP.

Those 5 guys all stepped up..

Our top 6 collectively is just so good.
Nothing wrong with having a different opinion - as long as it's done respectfully. It'd be lame if we all agreed on everything :)

Yup, they pulled it out. Good win.

Obviously, it would have been nice to coast to a blowout win after we were up by double digits.

But toronto has some talent, they have some size, they're tough, scrappy, they played hard, and made it a game on their home floor.

But we grinded it out and got a solid win.

In a strange way it was almost more impressive than a blowout. We didn't used to win these kinds of games.

Groin Strains, are tough to heal.
I don't think he should play, for a game or two.

Just saw Joe's presser. He said Jaylen is okay. I hope he's right, because as you said, groin pulls are no joke.

Should have pulled them earlier to avoid Jaylen pulling his later.

When Tatum sucks, the Celtics lose...

...until this season.

Tatum is going to have bad games. It's good to know that when that happens, his teammates will pick it up. I couldn't say that last year. It doesn't look like it, but this was the best win of the season for the Cs.
