Victory Cigar!!! BOS 97 @ UTAH 94 (52-23)

Three candidates:

-- Brown for the scoring and that final shot.
-- Larkin for the ridiculous +/- and team-high rebounding.
-- Whoever at Utah had the "bright" idea to dribble the air out of the ball and not get a shot up until less than 24 seconds remained.

Or we could just give it to my wife. After ~20 years of living together and feeling married, we finally got legally married today. Only she was so excited she couldn't sleep the night before, and hence so exhausted that we moved the wedding night to the afternoon, and I was left alone with her back in bed sleeping to watch the end of the game.

Congrats Fencer.
Now your 8 children are no longer illegitimate. JOKING.

6. It turned out the twins weren't mine.

Shane Larkin somehow managed to be a +25 in 34 minutes. Brown deserves the VC, but we definitely needed Larkin out there while Rozier stink it up for the first three quarters.

Brad Stevens is like Bill Belichick, except that he's an admirable human being as well.

Semi as an offensive substitution that works??!! Amazing.

[K For Three]

Does anyone remember watching those Stevens Butler teams who almost won it all? It's like deja vu.

I can still see Gordon Hayward almost pulling off the miracle win with the final heave vs. heavily favored Duke.

[Infinite Llamas]

Damn I'm so pumped about that win I'm still wide awake lol

If they somehow beat Utah tonight, you might as well hand Brad Stevens coach of the year.

If they beat Utah tonight (they won't), I'll dye my hair pink.

^^Lets get that pink hair going!!!!!!! Pics or it didn't happen.

Brad Stevens is incredible. Can we give him a lifetime contract?

[return2glory]

Great win!

What else can you say but this team. Injury after injury after injury. No Horford and no Morris tonight, and we still come up with a huge win on the road against the tough team.

VC goes to Jaylen Brown. Props where props is due. A really good bounce back game for him. With young all like Mitchell, Tatum, Brown and Rozier, Brown played the best in this one. Huge game winner.

Rozier was bad. But came alive in the 4th in a big way. Moose had a bad game but I think he had like 3 or 4 steals. Baynes played well. Nader had a good 1st half. This defense was especially good. Tatum and Larkin were solid.

52 wins. Two more wins to get a all time high for Brad wins in a season. The job has had been doing all year has been amazing. I’ve said for the past 2-3 years that Brad was a top 2 coach. Him and Pop. This year, IMO he is the best coach in the league.

[return2glory]

4-0 on the road trip!!! Incredible with so many guys out.

[Ed Pinkney]

Ridiculous. It is amazing what coaching, structure and some early season success/confidence can do a collective group.

Missing six of their nine best players, on the road. They have no business winning these games.

Ridiculous.

Just wanted to chime in and say, im never betting against the Celtics again. No matter how shorthanded they are.

Stevens put on a clinic that game. Throwing out that zone in the 3rd qtr stopped that Jazz run for good and turned the game back in your favor.

[Duke4life831]

If there was ever a game where the coach was the player of the game this was it. I'm sorry but you guys had no business being in that game haha. Stevens flat out put on a coaching clinic and the fact that he did that against a coach like Snyder is damn impressive. The rotations, the adjustments and that play at the end, damn that was a hell of a game. Great win.

Bradley Stevens

The BIG GUY zone was a pretty crazy stroke of genius. Then subbing in Semi at the end was great. He was really the only option to get the type of look we wanted. In the past we have had success against Gobert, because we had 3 point shooting bigs that could just stretch him out and make him pay for staying in the paint. We had to go with monster lineups tonight with Morriss, Horford, Theis, and everybody else in the world injured.

We just won on the road in Utah against one of the hottest teams in the NBA. 23-4 coming into this game and we win with this squad. It should be shocking, but I'm not even really that surprised.

My wife and I were once written up on our town's police blotter as "teens" playing Pokemon Go outside the town hall at 3 am. We were actually already grandparents then.

But she had pink hair at the time. (It's a more conventional white at the moment.)

[BRUNiNHO91]

Voted Jaylen because he played HUGE, he did a solid job on Mitchell and he made the game winning shot.

But LOL at Brad Stevens. Where the hell did this guy come from? What he did at the end of ths game was jusst pure **** destruction. This dude used Shane Larkin as bait to put Gobert in the blender and then they kick it to an open Semi who then pushes it to an open Brown and you can see Gobert in the middle of the paint with smoke coming out of his ears from how fried his brain was on that play. Dude didn't have a friggin clue what to do..lmao..one of the greatest plays I've ever seen drawn up..absolutely **** genius.

Shane Larkin again with an absurd game. Terry Rozier hit a couple 3's when this game was slipping away..this team is pretty damn clutch. These guys really deserved better health going into the playoffs. I think this group could have done something really special if they had everybody right. Not even talking Hayward or Theis..but Marcus and Kyrie.

Brad folds his arms like a Boss with bonus points when he does the Picardian Face Palm...

Lmao — this team is insane. How the heck did we go into a red-hot Jazz’ building and win? WITHOUT KYRIE, HAYWARD, THEIS, HORFORD AND MORRIS.
