My vote goes to White. This kid is a godsend. He does everything well, plus he has a huge heart and is so humble. (I don't read lips, but I think he dedicated the win to BostonCouchGM.)

The whole team did a great job tonight, though.

Game started the way I thought it would and it ended the way I thought it would. White is a stud. We need him here long term. Tatum is Tatum. C's in 4.

White was that dude tonight. Tatum for CP.
Loved how we scored in the paint like crazy, then knocked down 3s when they were there.

Any win is a great win in the playoffs. Not much of a home court advantage for Atlanta so if Boston wins Friday it'll be a sweep.

Not going to lie it's incredibly frustrating watching this team get 20-point leads and then watch the lead go down to eight points then all of a sudden we have a game for ourselves.

Boston's got to figure that **** out.

Derrick white, awesome game for him.

Also, if this is it for Mike Gorman, it was a hell of a run old friend. Possibility we sweep and he retires.

Except a **** beginning & a lapse in the beginning of Q4, BRILLIANT DOMINATION!

JT mostly awesome MVP - took a nap for a bit in Q4 w 3 TOV.
Derrick PLAYER OF THE GAME - incredible D - 3 blocks - 26-7-2-1 on 11-16.
#7 overall solid w usual 3 TOV.
BROG came through when Hawks got hot - almost trip dub.
Rob was excellent- especially in Q2 & Q3.
Al was outstanding on D & big 3s.
Marcus had some sustained outstanding play mixed in w some crap.

FINISH THEM IN G3 & they will surrender.

Good feelings!
Feel much better about this W than first W.

Tatum for VC and D White for CP. Could go the other way around. Both were brilliant. Smart had a very nice game with a lot of Marcus plays.

Brown, RW3, Horford and Brogdon all played well and contributed towards the win.

Celtics 2-0!! Attack Game 3!

Let’s Go Celtics!!!!!!

Two playoff wins in a row where we maintain a comfortable lead at the end. Defense has looked great. I feel really good about this.

White has played at a superstar level the first two games of this series haha

If it ain't White it ain't Right :D

Tatum was great as well.

I think that strong finish by Boston may have broke Atlanta..

and Trae Young sucks!!
2 things need to go.. my lack of spell check and Joe.. :nod:

White/JT.

The whole team contributed in ways and got lazy in ways. It's a bad habit that can bite back against an actual contender

White definitely takes VC, with Tatum puffing it with him. Buffalo was simply amazing tonight, and the whole series actually. He's been so important for us.

Let's sweep these guys, they're clearly not at our level. Hawks are actually playing better without Trae lol.
