Very close between the Jays. Tatum looked to be the easy choice but then Jaylen stepped up big time when the game got close.

Still gave Tatum the edge and went JB for the CP. Awesome game by Jrue as well

Al was really good too, it went under the radar, as it always tends to.

Scheduled loss it is not!

Cs now 8-4 in January.

The Clips game is the key.

Cs could still go 12-4 if they beat the Clips.

Miami, on the road, could be a close game though.

That's what separates the Jays from the other stars in the league, they both play good defense.

Best WING duo since MJ and Pip.

He hasn't won since stomping on the Celtics logo.

I still can’t believe he ignored the team and wanted to guard Giannis in the playoffs

I still can’t get over that. I can’t recall a time like that where a guy deliberately went out to throw a series.

Oh well 9-0 since he stomped on Lucky

The Rockets offered more resistance than the Mavs.

Luka, as great a player as he is, he's absolute trash on defense.

JB was shooting jumpers in his grill!

A white version of James Harden, that's what Luka is.

I went death lineup P, since nobody else has mentioned it yet. But I can see how people might vote for some of the 3 Js.
Like KGF, I’m loving the super low turnovers lately.

It's a scheduled loss... for Dallas. That's what happens when you have Boston on your calendar.

Luka’s not white, Luka’s clear.

He's rather hefty for a ghost.

Anecdotal Stat: Celtics are now 15-0 when making at least 15 threes and attempting 30+ FTs since the Bubble Season.

VC/CP:

Watch on YouTube

They scored 73 between themselves, but my favorite JB play was his recognition of Kleber being wide open in the paint and blocked him from behind (erasing JT-Jrue miscomm on D) and my favorite JT play was him not settling for an iso three, driving, and dishing for a wide open Jrue baseline jumper (not shown in the video).

39/11/5/3/2 on 21 shots with 0 turnovers, and +27 in a 9 point win. They got outscored by 18 in the 7 minutes he sat.

Jaylen 34/3/4/2 blocks on 22 shots, also no turnovers. He was -6, but that got dragged down by White who had a much deserved off game. His defense on Luka was awesome, as was everyone on the C’s.

Holiday had a hilarious game, 12 of his 13 shots were threes, 17/6/7 with 1 TO. The team never turns the ball over anymore lol.

Yeah even in the prior loss the TOs were barely existent. So the late game offense wasn't great there but to say it hadn't changed at all wasn't totally there either.

Lowest turnover % for both Jays (but not by much) since they had mid 20s-30s usage (bubble season).

Five of our main rotation players have better than 2:1 A:TO ratio. PP > 5:1!

Who smokes the big cigar?
