Kristaps and Jayson were huge tonight, Jaylen and Jrue and Derrick all did their thing, and Payton was great off the bench!

Celts didn't play any defense in the 1st half and found themselves down at intermission. But they came out of halftime more energized and locked in, and they pulled ahead behind scoring outbursts from JT and KP and some much better team defense in the 2nd half. It was a game we won!!

Heat Sunday, Go C's!

Might want to add Horford to the Poll?

Oops! Sorry Al!

And sorry everyone because it erased all the votes when I added him and now you have to vote again!

I'm so dumb jeez.

Expectations are high here, you know the teams great when you lay an egg and still come out on top. Enjoyed watching them feed KP and fight through the struggle. KP might just be that killa at the end of games that this unit has been missing! Let’s see how Sunday goes, you know the Heat will be up for this one.

Mazulla can’t call wizards good. Loses credibility. He can say offensively talented, which they are.

But they are a complete team and they can’t defend or play In The half court.

Former Wiz and current wizard (JT).

Win was about as lame as that pun, but we won. Just keep racking up the Ws.

Ouch. Wizards average 114.8 ppg. Against the Celtics they score 129. That Championship Level Defense? Even if the Pace of Game caused the Celtics to score 12 points above their average, it's still a cause for concern against Washington, who is 9-42.

I don't know who is more bored of these mid season games right now.. Me or the players..(should read starters)

In a 4 pt game, an improbable 3 pointer looms pretty large.

And by the way -- if Pritchard has actually been practicing heaves, then props to him.

If Joe coached the Bullets, they'd be 0-51.

This team is now assured of tying the regular season record of the 2014-15 Celtics. What an achievement! Congrats to everyone involved!

Yeah players are bored. We probably got the first seed locked up. The ASG will be good for us. Get some rest and incorporate the new guys to our system. X will be a factor for us down the stretch. I believe he will be in the playoffs rotation

Glad we acquired some defensive guys.

Games like this is where the Cs learn to execute in crunch time.

We don't want to be the 2007 Mavs that won 67 games and were beating teams with ease, in the regular season, only to get beat by the #8 seed in the 1st round.

This is KP and JT no doubt. Am just leaning more towards KP tonight because his timely buckets especially in the paint area are what kept the Celtics from discombobulating against the Wizards

He called the Wizards a good team? LOL. That's just an excuse for his team playing down to the competition again.

You guys should stop listening to Joe.

The guy wants to be Pop or Belichick when it comes postgame interviews.

I think Jaylen’s back is bothering him, very little explosion lately. Could be the dog days, but he just doesn’t look as aggressive. To his credit, he isn’t really forcing shots, just letting others do their thing.

JB is saving his energy for the Slam Dunk contest.

I thought it was a brilliant job by Joe to get his starters in condition in January, while playing against the mighty Wizards. having them play an average of 35 minutes per game, With Tatum 38 tonight, So we can be more ready for Miami early Sunday Afternoon..

I also love how he never gave up on them when they refused to play any kind of defense or get back.. Joe is clearly playing chess.

Who smokes the big cigar?
