That's the win of the year, IMO. Sixers reaaaally wanted that game, yet we kept fighting back to set up JT's cold-blooded game-winner.

Tatum will get majority of the spotlight for that insane last shot, but his teammates really carried him this game. Jaylen was magnificent in the 4th quarter, his energy sparking us to a 10-point lead. Horford brough us back from 15 down with 4 straight threes. White and Brogdon were killers off the bench.

The entire team deserves VC for gutting it out in such a hostile environment.

JB was grinding it out all game until his bredren woke up. It was a hard fought W for the team. They don't need to be pretty all the time.

refs tonight, let me put this in a way you'll understand...

Celtics fans can dress up their fake outrage about his game up til that point in whatever you want. Bottomline, Winning player showed up at winning time to get a big win. That's it. On the road against a top 3 team in the East w/ an MVP candidate. Jumper. Ballgame. That's it.

You make it sound so easy.

Don't forget that there was a behind the back dribble before the jumper.

JB was the perfect #2 tonight, doing exactly what he had to do to keep them in it till Tatum finally woke up and finished them.

Back to the JB improvements thread.

embiid's D lost them the game... WHO DOESN'T KNOW AL HAS BEEN AMAZING AT 3S FOR YEARS NOW??!!! Embiid cant sustain if he has to defend out there all game and with his offense load. that destroyed them. al had those shots earlier too, just didnt hit them.

[CelticFaninLBC]

Apparently Tatum had the worst 18, 13 and 6 game in league history.

Voted for horford and white. Tatum was awful the whole game, but he gets a pass for that clutch 3. I would have gone with White, instead of smart to finish. Smart just can’t really shoot. Grant would be lucky if he gets at least 5M per year, with that kind of shooting. Rob should have been in instead of Grant.

1. Any W is a good W - especially VS the Sixers & their talented giant sloth who was given 100 FTs.
2. We need Super Star Tatum 90% of the time, not 10% of the time. He was BEYOND AWFUL for 90% of this game & has had way way too many prolonged periods of poor play lately. Thank goodness he woke up at the very end for the GW 3 & a couple other makes & passes.
3. #7 was overall very good & scored/shot well - still as usual w 4 TOV & selfish play.
4. Without Al’s FIVE THREES & Derrick’s BRILLIANT overall play on both ends once again, we do not accomplish that awesome comeback & we lose by 20. Derrick should have played NOT Marcus at the end. Also Brog should have played NOT Grant at the end.
On a positive, Rob showed the best energy & sprinting we have seen in a long time during the comeback.

44-17
Bucks 42-17
Sixers 39-20 & now we have the tiebreaker if necessary!
Nuggets 42-19 after getting killed by the Grizz!

Next string of games tough - Knicks A, Cavs H, Nets H, Knicks H, Cavs A.
Show us how well you can play please FROM THE TIP!

Need Super Star Tatum from the get go. Or no championship. Stop the BS.
So lucky for our depth w Derrick & Malcolm.

C'mon man, just say it. Just between me and you.

You so mad he made that shot aren't you? LOL
It's alright. You can be mad. I ain't gonna tell no body.

And I tell you again.
Not in the slightest.
I want the Celtics to win EVERY GAME THEY PLAY.

I hear ya. ex. Still not sure I believe it. I imagined you sitting on your couch with a glass of vino watching that last play and being like "mother$^&$^&@#$ he made that shot! I wanna be so mad at him cuz he didn't play well but he stepped up like an ice cold sonofabitch when it mattered."

That's the thing about Tatum. He won't let you stay mad at him.

The Tatum and Brown bashing is ridiculous.

It’s Embarrassing

I wasn't in the game thread but I want to know...

Who were the plastic people?

Name names!

[shackles10]

Don’t get me wrong, Embiid is a great player but the flops, leans/jumps forward into guys, flailing, and lobbying for calls is just embarrassing for a guy his size. The media saying he’s good at drawing fouls instead of calling out how it’s bad basketball is just as bad. The good news is nobody gets those calls like that throughout a series in the playoffs so they’ll continue to be a second round team and nothing more.

[fallguy]

By the way, I say Jaylen is treated unfairly and I’ll stick with that but the crap that was posted about Tatum tonight in the game thread was just straight out embarrassing. Smh

I agree about Jaylen, but I told you lmao. With Jaylen at least it’s about basketball, when Tatum struggles it’s attacks on him

Tonight the posts about JT were a new low for this forum

Absolute embarrassment.

One guy in particular.
