Didn't know this about Oshae. Can't trade him now.

The least memorable game of the season. But we won.

HAHA WE STAY WINNING!!! Loved every minute though i had to watch it in a loud restaurant. Love this team so damn much!! Thought pretty much every player had a solid impact!

Wasn’t always pretty but these wins are more my style, blowouts are boring, especially since we don’t see the two guys I want to see get 5 minutes here and there. I swear we are hiding Walsh, even JD got 2 minutes last season and we had like 50-11 guards ahead of him last season! Walsh could play 2-4, let me see him some more!!

So I had to miss this game unfortunately. But from the box score it looks like they missed a bunch of shots inside the ark and won it with their defense? That about right?

Voted Jrue and JT.

Jrue was incredibly aggressive all game. I'm hoping he will finish a little better at the rim soon. Gonna be fun when he does.

JT picked them apart in the second half. Especially in the 3rd.

I went Jrue and added the CP for Brissett based on late breaking information.
just keep racking up the Ws.

On one hand Tatum has improved his passing. But the other is you have to have faith to whom you are passing it to. White and Jrue have/are proving worthy.

Tatum was making these same passes to like Semi Ojeleye and Brad Wanamaker lol, now we just have a bunch of guys who can actually make defenses pay for trapping Tatum.

Last night's game in my opinion was one of the most boring games of the year. Don't know why, maybe because it was the Raptors. Also I didn't think the Celtics played very well the whole game. A win is a win.

Jrue stepped up with 22/6/7 and got my VC vote. I went with Big Al for CP 10/11/2 (9 defensive rebounds) and played great D all night.

DWhite was good late, JT was very good except for shooting, 14 rebounds all defensive! KP struggled a little bit last night but still contributed 15/6.

Solid road win but the Raptors were bad, 4 for 32 from three. Yikes!

Celtics lead got down to 4 with about 2 minutes to go. So Celtics picked up another clutch win, with White hitting another clutch 3! Go Joe!

Unsure if Cs will be able to survive with a defensive lineup like this one for a few postseason possessions, but they seem connected as ever. Look at White and Horford’s activity! And defensive playmaking & decision-making (yes, that’s a thing!) Raps never got to exploit the PP or Luke mismatches for this particular possession. Maybe smarter offensive teams could.

Question, but why are we stealing their Barney costumes again? Are we planning to wear them ourselves, ransom them, or just being mean?

Overall a good Holiday win (get it??), but nothing too exciting. Always good to sweep a division rival (we use this word very loosely) in back to back years.

Don't tell anyone but my first job when I was a teenager was I worked at a magic store, which was pretty cool, but aside from learning about magic and selling the tricks and whatnot they made me dress up as costumed characters and entertain at kid's birthday parties. And it was the 90s and the most popular character was Barney the freakin Dinosaur. So I was big and purple and sang that "I Love You, You Love Me" song over and over on the weekends until I just couldn't do it anymore lmao.

(And for some reason the families who most often ordered the Barney costume lived in the sketchier parts of town, which added an element of danger to the whole thing lol. I'd get to the location and get out of the car dressed as Barney and have to do a walk of shame to the birthday party while all these tough guy gang member dudes were staring at me like they were hungry for dinosaur.)

Brissett was actually really good on the court last night too. Brought a lot of energy, crashed the boards, swished a 3, and made stuff happen.

Thanks for the laugh bisme! I had a part time summer job dressing as Oakie the Acorn (Oakhurst Dairy Mascot) at parades and fairs. It wasn't the best... So damn hot in those costumes!

Who smokes the big cigar?
