The Cs have lost 8 games so far this season. 3 were in OT, and 3 of the others were decided by 4 pts or less.

I believe that at no point have they lost more than 3 games out of 10.

I really believe JT has been coasting a good part of the season so far but he probably heard all the noise as of late so it doesn’t surprise me that he’s reminding the doubters who he is.

Although the Jays were bigtime, it should be pointed out that White's rebound on Tatum's missed FT and quick recognition of Jrue open in the corner and with Jrue who was off but still hitting was

HUGE

The last 2 games

Tatum has 83 points on 49 shots
Brown has 75 points on 42 shots

I feel like this forum truly doesn’t appreciate what we have here as fans of the Boston Celtics

I really didn't think the Celtics had a chance of winning this with how they played in the 3rd quarter and most of the 4th. Impressive win in the end. Tatum and Brown carried the win. Horford, as always, was being targeted and couldn't stop anyone.

Sam's two threes in the early part of the fourth were also important to keep things close.

Since spraining his ankle and getting the next game off, Tatum’s last 8 games, 32/8/5 on a 66% TS, and a +22 net rating lol.

My memory outside of the Boston Celtics may be vague, but since 2024 started I believe Tatum has out played everyone.. except maybe Jokic??

But Tatum making an MVP Push may be coming.

In fairness, it can be easy to take them for granted at times. They have raised the expectations high for quite some time.

Bill Simmons @BillSimmons
about 23 minutes ago

Jaylen took a lot of **** for his contract… but this is the best he’s ever played. He has a real case for the 3rd All-Star forward spot in the East after Giannis and Tatum.

If they manage to win a championship and stay here long term they'll go down as one of the greatest Celtics duo's of all time.

Its nice to know that on nights when nobody else on the team has it Tatum+Brown can still carry you to a win over a very good team.

That’s the point, fans take them for granted.

I think Tatum is suffering with multiple injuries which makes something like he did tonight even more impressive

In at least four losses, there was some considerable Venmo activity from certain referee accounts.

Gutsy win, D picked up w curve balls, feeding the O, driving consistently to the rack, knocking down FTs, and by the end of the game 3s in rhythm

Nice that both Philly and cHeat lost. Indy won and of course Mathurin 4-13, 0-1 from 3 grrr
