Omg we did it you guys this is amazing!

Derrick White was insane in the 4th!! Huge game from Jaylen! And Luke Kornet doesn't suck I tell ya!

Celts were in control all night and cruising to a win, but they came out sluggish in the 4th it all went to hell lol. But they fought back and got the win! Nice job after the grueling game last night and without 3 of our top 6.

2 stressful ass games in a row I'm wiped!

Spurs Sunday, Go C's!

Pretty amazing that the Celtics could pull a win out over Toronto without their 1rst, 2nd and 6th Best Players. It took a 1rst Team All-NBA game from Jaylen Brown to do it. But the Celtics got plenty of support from the rest of the Team, especially on the boards.
Luke Kornet played like an All-Star thanks to a lot of great feeds by the Celtic guards. Queta came thru marvelously, and Hauser did a respectable job. Derrick White woke up late in the 4th to bring home the victory on a night he was otherwise not his usual self. Maybe that early goaltend denying him a bucket due to a ref blunder got in his head, but he brought home the victory.

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)

+29.5 Jaylen Brown 40 minutes 7 Turnovers
+26.5 Luke Kornet 33 minutes

+16 Derrick White 35 minutes
+14 Sam Hauser 34 minutes
+11.5 Neemias Queta 14 minutes
+6.5 Oshae Brisset 15 minutes

+6.5 Payton Pritchard 25 minutes
+6 Jrue Holiday 32 minutes
+4.5 Svi Mykhailiuk 7 minutes
+1 Dalano Banotn 2 minutes

Team Total = 122

Undefeated at home still. Just finding ways to win.

Joe's next challenge: Sit all of top 6 and win against Wemby/Pop/Spurs.

Kind of a strange game, but another damn win. I’d go Luke for VC and White for CP.

20/8/3 with 3 blocks for Luke, who is absolutely better than Queta

I voted for Luke Francis and Luke Francis only.

VC to Derrick
CP to Kornet

Brown would’ve got the VC had he not reverted to Jaylen of last year in the second half although that lob to Kornet late was nice.

Just for future reference, can we stop giving the ball to Jrue late to shoot free throws ?

Derek White with back to back games trying to steal a victory from the Celtics. Yesterday he did not box out his man and let him get a game tying offensive rebound and tip on the last seconds. Today he fouls with 1.4 seconds left. Not exactly clutch play.

Still kind of annoyed we had to play at 60% for back to back games despite no actual long term injuries

I got Luke for VC

21/5/7/3/2 on 19 shots would've gotten Tatum booed out of the building. But since it's Derrick White and we all love him, he gets CP.

Played well and clutch. Helped save White from his boneheaded play.

White and KP need to shoot late FT.

those 7 turnovers eliminated jb for me, but he was our best player tonight.


KORNET CAME AND DOMINATED, especially since he hasn't played in a long time and after they went small! SAVED our asses multiple times!


I voted... TEAM... duh!!

He made all the clutch plays, and Tatum is a top 6-10 player. He's held to a higher standard.

A great scoring game from Jaylen but those turnovers were ugly. Kornet had a great game with 20-8-3 and 3 blocks. The Raptors just gave up trying to stop him and removed Poeltl from the game altogether. White coming up big at the end. Also Svi finally did some good things.
