Only 6 Celtics teams had a better record. Only 3 Celtics teams had a better point differential after 41 games.

Celtics were playing without Porzingis (knee) and White (ankle). Spurs Yugo couldn't keep pace with Celtics Ferrari. Nice to see starters not play heavy minutes for a change. Nice to see the bench actually contribute.

An alternative view:

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

-2 Svi Mykhailiuk 4 minutes

Team Total = 120.5

Jrue VC.

PP CP.

This is one of PP's better games.

Played really well on both ends of the floor.

He's no defensive stopper on defense, but the effort and the hard work is there.

We took care of business.. Nothing really else matters.. Nothing you can really judge from this game..

Except jordan Walsh is an outstanding rebounder..

I can't wait to see what we do against Denver..

I’d go Jrue. Tatum dominated the first half, but seeing Holiday go off is always amazing. Jaylen had a very good game too.

Next game is a heavyweight fight.

Never doubted them for a minute. Friday's game is gonna be a tough test if they want to make it 21-0.

What current Celtic averages 48 rebounds per 36 minutes? Better than Bill Russell.

On the court i'm certainly not the biggest luke Kornet fan.. But I just watched his End of game interview.. He really is a super cool dude..

Excited for the next game. Well, next five games. All are tough -- DEN, @HOU, @DAL (B2B), @MIA, LAC. Then it's mostly cupcake teams from Feb to Apr.

Against a good team or a bad team. I am always pumped to see a player hit 6 out of 7 .. 3 point shots. That can only serve to give confidence going forward.. Very happy for JRUE..

Jordan Mickey…..I mean Jordan Walsh

Halfway through the season, Cs are still on pace for best home point differential in franchise history.



I suggest we spend 2nd half of the season maintaining that home pace while dominating on the road.

All of this has far greater meaning if we win 18... If not it will just be a tease for me.

I doubt you're alone, but does that mean we can't enjoy the ride along the way and marvel at what's happening at the time rather than in hindsight, only if they win the chip?

Obviously.

But this also indicates we have a really strong team this season. Playoff games still have to be played though.
