Omg you guys we won another big game this is crazy!

Jaylen was cookin early, Jayson stepped up late, Jrue and KP and White and Horford were great and a lot of guys played well and chipped in on both ends. Celts led all night, got some key rebounds and big buckets late, and came away with another nice win.

Magic tomorrow (please win!), Go C's!

Wow. I don't think that I've been more impressed by Jaylen Brown. Two consecutive impressive games. With a more team oriented view. It just seemed like he played more of a team game. 2nd consecutive game the 4th quarter D was stellar. Al Horford played like a young man.

An alternative perspective:

Pts. + Rebounds + (0.5 x Assists) + Steals + (0.5 x Blocks) - Missed FGs - (0.5 x Missed Free Throws) - Turnovers - (0.5 x Fouls)

+23.5 Jayson Tatum 36 minutes

+18 Jaylen Brown 36 minutes
+17.5 Al Horford 23 minutes
+15.5 Kristaps Porzingis 31 minutes
+15.5 Derrick White 35 minutes
+13 Jrue Holiday 37 minutes
+8.5 Sam Hauser 18 Minutes

+3.5 Lamar Stevens 9 minutes
+3 Payton Pritchard 14 minutes

Team Total = 118

Voted for these two...



I'm off to spam JT's twitter and IG with calls to cut it out with those dumb pullup threes.

Is that what sleeping walking to Victory looks like?? Yeah I know any win.. But dang..

They showed some flashes of dominance and some terrible basketball. How they struggle or take such bad shots with 5 good to great offense players boggles the mind.

Celtics two all-stars from last year lead the way tonight. I got Tatum for VC and Brown for CP.

Porzingis, Jrue and DWhite all played well. Hauser and Stevens with some nice contributions. Big Al continues to be AWESOME!

Excellent team win. Tough to win two straight against a good Cleveland team.

Bring on Orlando!!!!!!!

Yeah, it was a lackluster win against a Cavs team that looked completely disinterested in playing any defense during the last 5 minutes of the game.

Just another casual Celtics win. It's whatever.

Am In the only one who doesn't like Hauser only getting 18 minutes tonight?? I mean he has played and shot extremely well lately. If he is on, he should get much closer to 25 -30 minutes. What is the point in having such a good weapon??

GOOD WIN! Keep em coming!

Every starter with 2 TOs each. None for the bench. Starting guards, Hauser, and Horford led the way in +/- and it felt like it. KP efficient everywhere except from 3 (we need this to hit at some point).

Hauser should get more than 3 shots in 18 mins of play. Pritchard took just one shot, the ultimate sacrifice. Lamar brings energy and hustle but not much else. Maybe that's all we need from him on most nights.

Need more than 3 shots for Hauser.

Just want to point out that since the "0 assists" graphic Brown has had 4, 4 and 5 assists the last three games. Solid playmaking for him.

Tatum with 12 points, 6 rebounds and 1 block in the fourth to close the door on any Cavaliers comeback.
Hauser with 9 points on 3 shots.
Another under control game from Brown.
Efficient performances from Horford, Holiday, White and Porzingis.
Still undefeated at home.

And posters will claim Boston needs a scorer off the bench.. we can barely get shots for Hauser..

Solid win. Thoughts:

-The rare game where Jaylen's decision-making was better than JT's. Tatum continues to take dopey threes on below-league average percentages and I hated the slow down in the fourth quarter with JT initiating above the break in the halfcourt. Jaylen wasn't perfect but I'll take this game from him 100 times out of 100. He's clearly trying to adapt his game and tonight was a good example of that.

-KP is an absurd weapon we should use more. But his long distance shots feel forced and *too* long distance. To be fair, teams aren't giving him that shot, but it's a thing.

-Jrue does so much on the defensive end it's mind-blowing. Multiple efforts on multiple guys on multiple plays.

-PP had some nice moments. He's rounding into a competent backup maybe?

-Too many turnovers but a lot of them were in the context of guys trying to make plays for their teammates. I'll take those in December.

-Not enough Sam threes as always but by now I think we're all positive he's a rotation piece in the playoffs. Which gives us 7 locked in.

We had a LAMAR sighting!
