Celts Climb Out of 1st Half Toilet, Avoid Getting Pist On! VC vs DET 12/28

[bisme37]

Holy **** you guys!!

Nightmare 1st half!

Then Tatum, Porzingis and White took over to save us from disaster!

Then we almost lost again but didn't and it went to OT!!

AND THEN WE WON!

I almost died for real!!

I’m starting a petition to have White take game winning shots over Tatum.

If the coaching staff don’t listen we storm the Auerbach Center.

Destroy the video with this icepick (right after I finish sticking it into my eyes).

Bench was nowhere tonight. Celts gave up 66 points in the 1rst Half, while scoring 47. Down 19 at the Half. Were bricking 3's, not driving and not rebounding. Celts made their comeback when Tatum started to attack the basket, make Free Throws and some layups. Had to since they only shot 10-37 (27%) from 3 as a Team during regulation. OT was the Derrick White Show. Too bad Joe had to overplay all the starters with Jaylen Brown out. l don't think that Horford should be playing 37 minutes, or Tatum 43 minutes.

As for most impactful, clearly Porzingis.

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)

+33 Kristaps Porzingis 36 minutes

+24 Jayson Tatum 43 minutes
+22.5 Derrick White 38 minutes

+15.5 Jrue Holiday 44 minutes
+13.5 Al Horford 37 minutes

+7 Payton Pritchard 23 minutes
+5.5 Neemias Queta 20 minutes
+3.5 Sam Hauser 18 minutes
+1 Oshae Brissett 6 minutes

Team Total = 125.5

So do we all agree we make KP and D White our go to at the end of games going forward??!

[Smart2Nesmith43]

Well they all count the same. That's a good thing because there's no way this would count for a whole win otherwise.

[ConstableGeneva]

Sometimes I hate this team that I love. What a dumb first half. Undefeated at home still though!

Voted for KP and White again. Tatum can sit in a corner thinking about his pullup threes even if we don't win this without him.

[playa-hater]

first great Thread title as usual..

If there was such thing as an a o s with a victory, this may be it..

[BK_2020]

We didn't get the dominant win we were hoping for but we got something much more valuable. This game taught us a valuable lesson of trusting in our guys to pull through against the worst ever squad.

[Bar Fight]

Disgraceful first half. Forced JT to play 43 minutes on the front end of a back to back.

[ConstableGeneva]

Tatum joins Bird as the only Celtics players to put up 30p/10a/8r/5s in a RS game. I doubt Larry did it against one of the best teams in NBA history though.

[Celts17Pride]

KP easy VC. Celtics didn’t go to him enough. I got DWhite for CP, great player. Tatum was very good except for his shot. Horford, Holiday, Queta, Pritchard all had their moments.

Pathetic first half. Can’t say that enough.
Excellent 2nd half and OT.

Win is a win!

[bfchs123]

Even though it didn’t work, good on Joe for calling a timeout on the end of regulation play.

[JaMarco]

They REALLY would have lost this game last year.

[ConstableGeneva]

Cs now 4-6 when shooting below 33% from 3! Undefeated otherwise (20-0).

[Riverwalk2021]

The inability of Tatum to close games is very concerning.

KP and White are our two best clutch players clearly, and I don't think it's debatable at this point.

[TheSheriff]

I appreciate Tatum’s shooting wasnt there, but he did everything else. I can’t give it to KP with how terrible they were on the glass.

[lon3lytoaster]

Kristaps is mana from heaven

Tatum joins Bird as the only Celtics players to put up 30p/10a/8r/5s in a RS game. I doubt Larry did it against one of the best teams in NBA history though.

Jaylen brown and a couple buckets
What's the difference between us and Detroit
Smallest win all year
