They’re 8-9!

It's the style of play. Iso from ATB with everyone just standing around the perimeter, none of this happens. Play with more pace and movement, openings magically appear.

And what a sick block!

Good role player, good fit for this team. Just a really solid 7th/8th man. And he's still getting better.

Extend him this summer!

You don't have to trade him, but an upgrade over him would really increase the Celtics chances of winning the Title.

This isn't the trade thread...but Hauser is more than adequate for a 7th/8th man..

Bench guys really did a good job of moving the ball.

Tatum catching strays in street clothes. Damn.

Yea no percentage bull. If you make that only once in your career you’ve helped your team more than when youre ‘saving’ your shooting percentage

Toronto doesn't have the ability to score in bunches, so the next 5 minutes will be crucial.

If the Raps can't trim the lead to single digits, heading into the 4th, Cs will have a comfortable win.

Poetl continues to foul on every screen

Celtics three point defense has been pretty lazy with this game and the pistons game yesterday. Need to be quicker to tag shooters

Luke is dominant in his return.

BK_2020 · Post #213 » by **BK_2020** » Sat Dec 30, 2023 1:52 am

Maybe Luke can get 20 this game.

Fierce1 · Post #214 » by **Fierce1** » Sat Dec 30, 2023 1:52 am

Raps didn't do anything significant.

Just traded baskets with the Cs.

Cs still looking good for a comfortable win.

Fierce1 · Post #215 » by **Fierce1** » Sat Dec 30, 2023 1:53 am

Celtic coach really deserves credit for what the Cs are doing this season.

This is the 2nd night of a back to back and the team still looks good.

Same thing happened against the Kings.

The coach must be doing something right, right?

kivancb · Post #216 » by **kivancb** » Sat Dec 30, 2023 1:53 am

I like Pöltl as a player, but Luke has really dominated him tonight thus far, which has been a revelation. Good job Luke!

It's just talent. Any coach could win 80% of the games with Luke Kornet and Queta.

Pretty impressive how much Barnes has improved as a shooter. He was legitimately a bad shooter in college, and in HS.

Interesting how the refs seemed to have swallowed their whistles tonight.
