lol KG’s energy is crazy


KG called for Horfraud to make the game winner. WTF was he a smoking?


I was thinking the same thing :lol:


Haha he ended up naming Morris, Rozier and Horford. He named 3/5 players, he had a 60% chance to say "I told you" haha. Not the craziest thing haha.

He had it right the first time, though, all the way at the beginning of the video. :wink:

I think they both had solid games myself but hrford getting bashed for while putting up a +2 whole Morris getting praised while putting up a -15 is silly to me. Horford has been on a bad shooting stretch but literally did everything else for the team

Just watched the replay. Wow, Tatum was a beast. Rozie had a game despite the poor shooting percentage and Morris, oh Marcus, been tough on you all year but I gotta give it up. Smooth shooting and supreme clutchness.

Props and an extra cigar to Melo for missing those 2 free throws and giving us the chance to win.

Putrid again. That lay up he missed was an absolute joke. Greg Monroe went out there and dropped 17 and 6 in 22 minutes without breaking a sweat and Horford with a PATHETIC 5 and 6 in 33. What a **** joke.

This team deserved this win. Jayson Tatum deserved this win. This kid as been absurd and he's showing what he would be if he had the chance to be THE GUY. Marcus Morris deserved this win..he's been awesome for the last few weeks. Monroe has been terrific in his limited time out there..Terry Rozier has been wonderful for us..Larkin out here doing big things..key player in the 4th tonight.

It's remarkable that this team can still win without Kyrie, Smart, Brown and Theis..all these young dudes, these end off bench guys going balls to the wal and our 'All Star' dude trashing it up all game long! Get your **** **** together man..

Btw if I neever saw a minute of Abdel Nader on this team again it would be too soon.
A new dawn will rise in Boston. ‎#StayLoyal THANK YOU TRUTH!

Just shows you how useless plus minus really is. Abdel Nader was a +7 and the guy didn't do a **** thing right all game long. Horford was trash as he has been for a few weeks now.

That wasn't the easiest of drive/kick-outs. Tatum made at least as good a play as Morris did.

I didn’t say otherwise. But for me, Morris gets it for making the shot

Just watched on replay and without doubt gave it to Tatum. Morris and Rosier made big shots at the wnd. Larkin also had a good game. Man we swept the Thunder. Both games were come from behind efforts.

Tatum looks great when the first option. Problem is here, when team is healthy, he is isnt.

But tatum, terry and morris for davis doesnt seem so much like an underpay now.

Irving/larkin
Brown/smart
Hayward/semi? Ring chaser?
Horford/yabs? Ring chaser?
Davis/theis

Thats a scary scary team.

1/13 combined from Semi and Nader last night. Just brutal. They really need Brown back ASAP going forward.

This clip is great for so many reasons. First he predicts three different guys to take the game winner.

Two, KG: "keep it all together...[Danny Ainge is] overthinking things, mess it all up." If I were Freud, I’d say he is talking about his own experiences.

Marcus Morris on if he had any hesitation before taking winning 3: “Hesitation? I don’t even know how to spell that ****"

clutch shot by Morris in the end but he was overall a negative contributor. poor D and leads just vanish when he steps on the floor. I like Morris coming off the bench for about 20 min a game.

Horford as always was solid despite missing a lot of shots. Guy just know how to play. Tatum gets the smoke for a great game, all around game, passing ,rebounding, solid D, and big buckets.

Let this **** go, I feel like a broken record saying this over and over, but let AD turn down his player option in two seasons and we can take him as we waive goodbye to Horford. We don’t have to bet the farm to get him. Two more wasted seasons in that sweathole, should be all he needs to leave voluntarily.

We seem to win a few of these crazy games this season. Don’t seem to lose any like these as well. Go Celtics!

Plus minus is nearly a worthless NBA stat. I've seen guys play 10 minutes get 15+ putting up two points while guys shoot score 25 on 10/12 shooting grabbing ten boards in 25 minutes have -15

I thought KG was kidding based on your description, but he got real quiet and serious when he said that. Haha, I wonder where KG thinks Ainge messed up. Perk probably. KG loved Perk. Maybe Tony Allen too. Tony Allen made his own choice, though, so maybe not.

I agree, though. Keep it together Danny please.

Sometimes Kyrie's demeanor and his post game interviews leave me wondering how invested he really is in this team, but it was reassuring seeing how genuinely animated he was last night.
