That was like a movie script of about 20 games we have won without Kyrie last season. Amazing. A lot of highs and lows with frustrations involved but in the end the Celtics pull thru in epic fashion.

No Kyrie on a back 2 back on the road, against a team fighting for a playoff spot. Shouldn't be too surprising it ended up being a close game.

Yes it should've?

Bucks have lost to the Suns TWICE this year.

We played arguably the best team of the last 5 years on their HC and beat them, then play a b2b without our best player against the FASTEST team in the league.

This was ALWAYS a difficult game.

Couldn't agree more.


Thought he passed up a few. I wish he had Morris' mentality.
and that's "MR. Irrelevant" to you!!

Gordon Hayward still hasn't attempted 20 field goals in a game this season.

Tatum, Al and Hayward were insanely clutch to close that out.

This had to be tough. B2B. No Kyrie.
Celtics are pulling it out.

Is this the Turning Point?

Tatum has only done it twice since being in Boston. This is my biggest gripe with how Stevens has run this offense. But hard to complain right now with back 2 back wins against good teams. Those were two huge wins for you guys.

Yeah this win felt good to me, especially after last night. Feel like we haven’t won many close games as of late too, so a nice confidence boost on that front too.

There seems to have been a few moments where it maybe looked like the turning point for you guys, but didn't end up being it. Curious to see if that long plane ride really was the thing that got everyone clicking for a deep playoff run.

Best thing about it was Hayward stepping up and having the guts to make the big shot after passing up some earlier looks. Good for him.
and that's "MR. Irrelevant" to you!!

Tatum could probably get there more often, but he has trouble taking them in the flow. He is constantly passing up good shots to pump fake into nothing or a long 2.

Scal I can deal with but Draper is horrible. It sounds like listening to players only. He’s a horrible play by play man
