I almost forgot how it feels like to have fun watching Celtics basketball. Thanks for reminding. Tatum gets the VC with Kanter as close 2nd.

Celtic Kemba vs Laker Lebron: 1-0

**** LA!!

Oh yeah, an to that little 6ers bitch that posted at the end of our last post game thread, I’ll be watching on Saturday to see how your team fairs against the the Lakers. My guess is not as good.
“There’s a sense of pride, there’s an edge you have to have to play here. I can only imagine the love, the reception, if you hung one of those banners up. It would be incredible — it’s going to be incredible. I know it.” —Jayson Tatum

If you bitched and moaned about losing before the game started, you're not allowed to vote tonight. Same goes for anyone who said anything along the lines of "Oh golly gosh! I can't believe what we're seeing tonight!"

Second of all - Tatum smokes it.

Sooo torn between Kanter and Tatum. Went with Kanter though for that period in the game he was gobbling up everything and the lead ballooned. He had a tough matchup tonight too.

Great team effort.

Don't know why they can't do this more games but when this team is missing a starter or two they often can struggle. Maybe they had to hit rock bottom a bit to see the light?

Still have not lost 4 in a row this year.

Amazing team win, so damn close to having 6 players with 20+. I don’t recall a night where the core guys were doing that, either 1 in a slump and at least 1 injured.

It’s Tatum’s night, but I’ll vote Kanter for the consolation prize. He was a huge difference maker as soon as he came on and put a stop to the height-bullying.

Going Tatum for the 2nd quarter explosion, but Kemba and Kanter right there. Hayward also had a good game.

NVM: had already hit Kemba. I'm OK with that. He's got a painfully low number of VCs for being our best player this year.

One of the most satisfying regular season wins in Stevens era. Keep doing this to other teams. Thanks.

First of all, great win! Much needed.

I had a good feeling going into this one that we would win. Didn’t expect a blowout. Lol.

Tatum, Walker and Brown were all good.
Tatum was actually really good.

Kanter changed the game when he came in and dominated the first half. Kanter was the best big on either team.

VC goes to Enes Kanter!

I voted for Kanter but would’ve voted for “Jaylens Dunk” if it were on the poll.

Lol, AD dropped a 9-4-2 line. After all the **** he gave Boston for a solid 6 months, thats the best he could muster?

LOL

Imagine overpaying a rental like AD. Imagine not having Tatum instead.

When he leaves for Chicago to continue MJ's legacy, the Lakers might win 20 games next year. And when they trade Kuzma for Dion Waiters, who knows? They might only lose by 20 next year!

Hopefully this is a new turning point for the second half of the season. Needed a statement swagger win again....this was very VERY needed.

Voting for Vincent Poirier for hitting that Big 3 and ripping out the hearts of the Lakers.

Great team win!!!!

14 offensive rebounds vs. the Lakers' 24 defensive ones.

Tatum and Kanter easily! Whoever would be fine. Consolation to Stevens for keeping the rotations tight, and no Gleague lineup tonight. This is how the lineups should be. Keep the hot hands in long!

Just happy we played our best players.

Why are we 2-6? Mainly it is dudes it playing. We are not built with depth. We have which end players, and then really low quality back ups outside of Smart and Kanter.

Bench biggest flaw.
