Hooray you guys we won another big game this is incredible!

Tatum with a spectacular 31 in the 1st half and 41/14/5 on the night! Jrue and Al were great too and Derrick and Jaylen made some big shots late.

First half was a Tatum highlight reel, and the Celts were in full control in the 3rd quarter. Then some sloppy plays in the 4th helped the Nets get back in the game, but thankfully we outplayed them late and got the win.

Nets again tomorrow, Go C's!

Celtics couldn't put this one away. Even without Porzingis, it still makes me nervous.
Tatum played better than most League MVPs.
Brown had another stinker game, talk about overpaid.

Jayson Tatum, Al Horford and Jrue Holiday made up for Brown's inefficiency (12 bricks, 5 Fouls, 4 TO's, 2 missed FTs, 1 Rebound).

Al played well, but he was gassed and perhaps should have been limited to 30 minutes instead of 36 minutes. Kornet or Queta could have had those 6 minutes from Horford.

I'm worried that the bench had another "bleh" game, although Tatum, Horford and Jrue covered for them.

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)

+44.5 Jayson Tatum 38 minutes
+25 Al Horford 36 minutes
+17.5 Jrue Holiday 35 minutes

+12 Derrick White 38 minutes
+6.5 Luke Kornet 15 minutes

+3.5 Jaylen Brown 37 minutes
+2.5 Oshae Brissett 9 minutes
+2 Sam Hauser 14 minutes
-1 Payton Pritchard 15 minutes

This Celtics team has the most burn the tape wins in NBA history

Tatum unstoppable on both ends, Jrue with the quiet stealthy great game. But does the win count if KP didn't play?

Good wire to wire win with a RGM-Celtics meltdown at the end, pretty typical day in the office.

42-12 we go. Tatum VC, I’ll give the CP to Jrue due to the 12 assists but Tatum could smoke the whole thing tbh

41 points, 14 rebounds, 5 assists, 2 steals, and a block. Bird (2x) only Celtic to put up those numbers, but never under 40 minutes and not on the road.

6 game lead over the east.

Tatum was great. Brown was smh. When are the new guys joining the team?

Another boring victory, Is better than an exciting loss I guess..

Still dying to see what x man can bring to the table with jaden springer..

Feels like this team can use new energy like that..

Celtics win but JB loses the shootout vs Cam Thomas. Will Cam pass JB in season scoring stats? Part 2. Tomorrow.

This is hate speech...

When Celtics lead by 20+, Joe activates JB-led offense to add some spice to the game.

If Jaylen keeps playing like this, his TS+ will drop below 99 and break up the beautiful regressive pattern of 103-102-101-100-99 over the last five years.

This is insane lol

Stop it.

You know that prediction in the other thread that Brissett will pick up his team option?

I agree.

Papa White knows the important things in life.

Win is a win. Tatum was great. I dont feel their defense has been all that great for a while. Maybe they trying stuff out. Who knows. They just have too much talent and can win regardless most nights.

I actually think it’s a much better sign than some of the ugly performances in the last two seasons.

Can’t post any images right now but if I could (find it), it would be of Tatum dragging basketballs over Nets logo. He put it on them every way possible! Dominated the first half to show he wasn’t playing about whooping on the teams that don’t get a lot of TV time! Came blazing from go!!


I don’t know why Tatum doesn’t get the recognition in the media when he’s barely turning it over and racking up assists. He should be #2 in voting MVP and I know Shai is doing it up too. Need them to put some respek on his name!!


Tatum is going to lead us to the promised land and THAT’S IT THAT’S ALL!!!

Go Celtics!!
