Our Celtics gave the entire NBA world a show.

I wonder what new negative spin they can come up with now.

I was most impressed with all the starters' effort on defense. They turned it around on that end even though most of them were cold shooting. Awesome win! Our bench is just awful though. KP can't come back soon enough.

Every one of the dozen seemed timely too. White decided blocking guards was too easy so he started going after Turner, lol

Tatum had a near triple double; the Boston media will now have an expose' on why he didn't get it.

I'd give him all the rest he needs at this point.


100%. No reason for him to play at all.


I'd like to see him get some court time, but if Celtics close on Monday there is almost 2 weeks before finals so they'll all be rested ...and maybe rusty.

Tillman played 8 minutes in the second half, during which the Pacers scored seven points if I'm calculating right. He was also on the floor when we cut into the Pacers lead a bit towards the end of the first half. Giving him a shout out. Jrue stole the VC tho, IMO.

Side note, Pacers were +13 in the four minutes McDermott played.

Great teams have that switch, not going to say we looked like a great team tonight, but was a fun comeback regardless.

What an incredible win. Tatum with the huge stat line and 0 turnovers.

Jrue with the DPOY level defence and an absolute championship mindset.

Ol Al for the threes!

Let’s go Celtics!!!!


Tatum made some great passes tonight as well. Great game.

Behind the back pass to Al at the 3pt line when Tatum was inside the paint drawing 2 defenders.

That's Larry Legend stuff right there.

The Boston media is pro-Tatum. Most of those guys are fans.

I'm sure DWhite got 4 tonight but they only credited him with 3. Bitch ass statkeepers.

Voted for Tatum, Jrue and Uncle Al

All were vital to this win in their own different way.

Not going to lie, thought we were toast early in that 3rd quarter!

I never doubted, even when they were down 15 points, 8 minutes into the 3rd quarter. "Back Against the Wall" Celtics have always responded. And damn did they do it. Tatum played like a MVP, Reliable Papa Al shot us back into the game, and Jrue. Oh my god, when the Bucks fans were talking about Playoff Jrue, they must've been talking about this. I love you Jrue Holiday.

Tatum gets the VC, but Big Al and Jrue gets many puffs as well.

Yeah, X was great. Clogs things up on O a little, but we really needed the D and he came through.

Celts looked like toast in Game 1 too.

That's why you don't quit on these guys because these guys don't quit.

Horford Impressed me the most.
