Pretty much everyone has played well tonight, I’m sure it being the Rockets played into though.

I’d be stunned tbh if we saw the offense look anything like this vs Philly on Tuesday. But **** it let’s just enjoy this game.

Make Fournier sign the extension before we play the next game and revert to selfish ball.

Nothing to do with Rockets. Celtics ball movement exceptional tonight. Celtics play this way they can beat anyone.

Yes, let’s see if this style carries over.

My bet is it doesn't. HOw many times have they shown flashes of great ball movement that led to wins, only to revert to terrible basketball the minute they hit adversity again?


Or more specifically, when they face a good team and Tatum needs to prove that he's an alpha by isoing 1v3.

I love the Jays but look what happens when they’re off the court, the ball is flying around.

This is the Marcus I like to see! 5 shots, good defense and double digit assist.

Williams is a quadruple double threat if he plays 35 minutes in a game.

Man how nice is it to have a guy that can hit 4 or 5 shots in a row when he gets them open?

Fantastic shooting lol

This game is a great example:

Celtics play with exceptional ball movement Evan Fournier is a very valuable player.

Celtics play the “it’s my turn” offense then Fournier becomes useless.

Hopefully this is a turning point

Credit to Smart for playing smart in this game.

Smart now has 10 assists and lots of defense.

Smart should average double digit assists on this team for real.
