Tatum’s defense the last two games has been ridiculous.

His floor game tonight was A+, 7 assists, only 1 TO. Plus I’ll gladly take the 25 on a 60% TS on an off shooting night.

I think White has a legitimate chance to make the all star team.

KP and AD were so good tonight destroying every mismatch they had.

Christmas saved!!!

Not a great second quarter but Boston turned it around. I love the fact that Boston started taking it to the hoop in the 4th and not jack up a bunch of threes.

Hope everyone had an amazing Christmas!

Celtics are difficult to beat with KP. Voted for KP and White.

Why can't Olynyk simply get a BUYOUT from Utah. They're not planning on re-signing him, and he might want to ring chase.

On the other hand, if he's traded, he preserves his Bird Rights (currently makes around $12.2M).

White, Porzingis, and Jrue as as a supporting cast is unfair.

Porzingis makes things so easy on both ends. The perfect fit for this team. Brad should be arrested for grand larceny.

White is by far the most underrated player in the NBA. He has star impact at a 19 percent usage. Put this man in the All Star game.

Jrue playing incredibly controlled and efficient.

Could've gone in several directions but went with White for the double-double 18/11 and terrific defense all night for VC. CP goes to Team. Never felt like any one player dominated today but many players all had their moments like a great ensemble cast, everyone had their moment tonight. KP with the doub;le-double. JT followed through on his "less is more" quote and really gave the game what it needed tonight. Didn't need him to take over tonight because Jrue Holiday has been stepping up his offense as he's gotten more comfortable. When all 5 starters score in double figures it's just pick your poison for opponents.
and that's "MR. Irrelevant" to you!!

Whit has a case on objective facts but he won’t get close. He should be 1st team all defense for sure though.

KP’s passing ability is quite a surprise, the team should throw him the ball in the post more.

All I know is that now that the hardest part of the schedule is done, this starting 5 has the opportunity over the next 35 games to just improve their cohesion against some middling teams. JT talks about this team still being able to reach another level. The last few games we've seen a deliberate increase in pace of play. Just moving faster and getting the ball up quicker into the frontcourt and what has REALLY helped is that when Jaylen gets the ball on the upquick now, he's no longer forcing 1 on 3 drives into traffic for turnovers. The passing from him and everyone else has really been superb lately.

Oh yeah. We have the best backcourt in basketball.
and that's "MR. Irrelevant" to you!!

Or they could swap Horford and a Pick?

We had All star PG’s, good backcourt combos over the years, but DWhite along with Jrue might be my favourite….
