I thought we played really good basketball from right after the IST loss to Indy to the second game of our back to back series with Indy despite the losses to GSW and OKC.

Since that second Indy game, even though we’ve gone 5-2, I feel our level of play slipped. Hopefully it picks up.

Brown and Tatum are saving their best for Grant Williams tomorrow night.

7th Celtics game in franchise history where they record 50+ rebounds, 30+ assists, 10+ steals, and 10+ blocks in a game. Just the 2nd of its kind this season by an NBA team -- OKC vs. MEM the other one. Unignore me for more useless stats trivia.

If you can get a road win against a semi decent team with 2 rotation guys out then you take it.

Nice to see Brown get the triple double despite being a little out of Rythm with his shooting, his teammates very clearly knew he was on 9 assists and both White and Brisset attacked the basket hoping to get him the 10th.

Awesome game from KP. When his three pointer is on he's unstoppable.

I wouldn't read too much into Joe's weird subbing pattern tonight and sitting the Jays late 1st half other than the Celtics having another tough game tomorrow.

Celtics previously just 1-8 in games where they shoot below 55% TS%. Now it's 2-8.

I didn't see the Game. But, how did Queta get 2 Fouls in 3 mins???

Poor defensive positioning and slow feet. Went up against two drives but he wasn't really vertical.

And the Cs still won comfortably in this game.

The Cs also only lost by 2 against the Nuggets.

I definitely saw more White with the ball in ending quarters and the Cs feeding KP late in the game.

This is what it means to have an adjustment period.

The Jays will have to buy in and stop resorting to the default mode of iso ball.

Hopefully both Jays will figure it out by April.

Classic January-style nobody-really-cares trash game. But we won, so whatever.

Going to miss chatting tomorrow too but we got the win without me so it should be fine again. We won, that’s all that matters atp. I’ll be worried about rounding into form in another 20ish games. I want us to try any and everything before then!
