Now this is what I call a bounce back game. So **** pumped right now

[exculpatory]

Great bounce back W!

Suffocating Team D.
Incredible 3 point shooting.
Mostly good ball movement.
JT brilliant on both ends. 27-5-5
JB outstanding. 24-8-3
Cobra with 12/1 - A/TO & 24 points with 50% shooting from 3 & great D.
Al quietly rebounded & defended.
RW3 looked better in short minutes.
Grant & Pritch both in double figures

1-1 & now WE have HCA.
Sweep them in Boston - the Heat suck & so does Jimmy Thug-Buckets

CELTICS!

[MrGreenRunsDeep]

G league Butler!

[Setshot33]

Smart and Big Al with a puff. Their ability to settle things down when things get hairy is invaluable.

[SuperDeluxe]

Does anybody have a favourite Jimmy Butler gif they want to share?

Edit: I see that someone already has.

What I wrote in the game thread:

OK. Game's decided. Smart for the VC.

-- 12/1 A/TO.
-- Weakest shooting efficiency on the team, but it wound up not being that bad. And he had a great excuse, in that ...
-- ... he was the only Celtic without Marcus Smart passing to him.
-- 1 rebound away from a triple double.
-- 4 steals + blocks.
-- Surely played through a lot of pain, given the injury.
-- Was essential in White's absence (or else made it possible for White to BE absent and see the birth of his first kid).

Also assumed -- although Marcus mentoned it explicitly in a postgame injury -- he helped the team keep its poise.

[Roger Federer]

Beat me to it

[meatball sub]

everybody keep this team away from the TV the next 2 games and let them keep thinking everybody is saying they're cooked. let tatum still think people think butler is better than him. they feed off that

[1st banana]

Marcus smart is that mother ****! Incredible game he was out there clowning the heat. Ice up Marcus what a game.

Tatum was quietly really really good barely broke a sweat too.

Pritchard and grant great off the bench scoring and defensively.

Jaylen was great first half had a sketchy third quarter but was good all around. Al was steady as usual.

Back to Boston homecourt is ours not let’s hold it.

[Captain_Caveman]

Tossing all the Smarthaters off the bandwagon right now.

[LarryBirdsFingr]

Having belief in themselves for once, this team could finally make it happen

[Fierce1]

Smart gave the Cs a huge lift in this game.

No doubt Smart gets the VC.

On to Boston.
