C's bench-heavy, double big recovered the lead. About even in 3rd. Best you can hope for. Now execute in the 4th please (STARTERS, WAKE UP!)

So much for the dreaded 3rd qtr.

Cs win the 3rd qtr.

Amazing how a layup can get Tatum going..if only he does that more

Tatum always wants it the hard way! :lol:

Mitchell 4-11 from three yet it still feels like he’s 10-11.

The Derrick white of old would take over the 4th quarter. Lets see what happens

Celtics have had 2nd best bench net rating most of the season behind OKC. They did their job tonight.

Time for starters to pull their weight, esp Jrue and White. No more i-got-this, blinders-on turnovers, JB. JT, DRIVE! KP, stop missing bunnies.

Can we get last year's D. White for just one quarter?

playa-hater · Post #289 » by **playa-hater** » Wed Feb 5, 2025 2:23 am

The so-called double big is with KP so not quite the same.. I clearly always say please no al and cornet.. And please do not start the fourth quarter with those 2..

Fierce1 · Post #290 » by **Fierce1** » Wed Feb 5, 2025 2:23 am

Both Jrue and White only a combined 8 pts so far.

Cs gonna need them in the 4th.

No one other than Horford and Pritch shooting well tonight. Not a good sign. Hopefully the Celts can maintain their suffocating defense, because it doesn't look like they can count on their offense to get this one across the finish line.

Celts need to come out with some intensity in the fourth. Cavs hanging around

The double big will help with the defense.

The Tatum and KP pick and roll is deadly. Expect to see a lot of that in the playoffs

Scott Foster is going to have a say in this game before it’s over.

I'd love to unleash Springer on him about halfway through the 4th quarter.

Derrick white!

playa-hater · Post #298 » by **playa-hater** » Wed Feb 5, 2025 2:26 am

Al and Kornet Are in together to start the fourth!! Prove me wrong right now

ConstableGeneva · Post #299 » by **ConstableGeneva** » Wed Feb 5, 2025 2:27 am

Kornet as a screener opened up so much offense for us tonight. He won't get credit though.

That should be a tech for kicking the ball coach!?
