MVP voters are in love with stats, so Jokic and Luka are probably ahead of him right now.

Tatum for sure, but coin flip between KP and Jrue IMO

Feels like we led for every second this game..
2 things need to go.. my lack of spell check and Joe.. :nod:

lol great thread title. One of the better Victor Cigar thread titles I've seen. Cracked me up.

It wasn't pretty. It was probably closer than it should've been.

But whatever. Nets were try-hards. They were tough, scrappy, hit some shots.

But we were good enough to win by double digits. I'll take it.

5-0.

Congrats to JT on 10,000 career points!

Jrue and KP continue to be an awesome fit. Good stuff by Al and Kornet.
Nothing wrong with having a different opinion - as long as it's done respectfully. It'd be lame if we all agreed on everything :)

Big test coming up going to Minnesota next to face the 3-2 Timberwolves. They were the first team to beat Denver and we gotta make sure they don't do it to us too.

KP really making an impact on both ends of the floor.

Those airball 3s by the Nets late in the 4th were contested by KP.

JT MVP
Jrue barelly missed trip dub.
Zinger awesome. Blocked or altered about 30 shuts.
Al was outstanding on D.
Luke was very nice.
#7 had a few moments, but shot like ****.

5-0
82-0
#18

Not the kind of hard-fought game I expected against the shorthanded Nets, but I'll take the W.

I think we won this game when Jrue settled us down and got a few of our guys easy buckets in the fourth.
VC for Jrue!

I looked at the box score at half time and was surprised to see that five Celtics had more rebounds than Tatum.

He finished the game with two more boards than the next closest teammate. His rebounding is super underrated, it’s so consistent.

Celtics were 9 1/2 point favorites. They won by 10. :)

I didn’t think we played that well, but won by 10 so it’s fine lol. Gotta love it when a double digit win feels meh. Can’t be sharp all 82 but talent wins. Hopefully a more complete performance next game.

Last season the Cs would've lost this game because they would've been down by 10 or more when the Nets hit the Cs with a barrage of 3s early in the 3rd.

But Jrue made sure that won't happen.

Jrue is not the type to just jack up a 3 when his team is down big.

What Jrue did was get in the paint and score 2s to stop the Nets run.

He seemed to secure all the crucial boards in the second half.

Kornet good game, Pritchard pretty bad but nets are a bad matchup for him tbh. I’m hoping we can get some stevens in one of these days.

Jrue controlled the game. Over and above the stand out plays, he just runs the floor and offence so well

The order looks a lot different if you strip out the guys who weren't forced to go to college for a season too
