Oh hell yeah you guys we defeated those nasty moo cows and got our revenge! TAKE THAT ENTIRE CITY OF CHICAGO!!

JAYSON TATUM!! 43/16/10 and monster 2nd half to blow it open!

KP and JB were great too! And congrats Jrue on 1000 career games! And we did BIG WIN yay!

Magic Monday, Go C's!

Can JT win both the VC and the CP?

I'm giving it to Jaden Springer who led Boston with the highest field goal percentage. Tatum gets a puff

Hahaha!!!

Cs have everything they need to win championships.

Sometimes complacency becomes a problem, but overall this team is destined to repeat.

IMO, both Tatum and Brown play with more purpose, when only one of them is in the Game.
It's like, there's not enough to go around, when they're both in?

They need to work on that complacency.
Gotta start putting in the Stay Ready Group, during the Games (not Garbage Time).

JT for VC and CP

Nice bounce back revenge with better defense
Liked the zone adjustment by Joe

JB and White need to contact JT's shooting coach, especially JB who is in a slump

CHI shot only 33% from 3 - you live by the 3 and you die by the 3 (unless you can also score in the paint )

Probably Tatum’s best ever game so only one choice today. He was unreal.

Side note: Its been awesome to watch Jaylen taking an even bigger step as a playmaker this year

I believe part of the reason why the bench does not get more minutes is because the star players need to get their numbers.

It's just part of the business.

FUN GAME!

Tatum was awesome. Onto the next one!

This is the exact reason why I wasn’t fazed by the game a couple of nights ago. This team’s playing on autopilot but when needed can kick into a different gear than anyone else.

I’m not worried about them shooting 50+ 3’s a game in the regular season if it means less risk of injury & fatigue.

Looks like JT will get another player of the week award.

So true.

Tough call tonight. Might have to lean towards Tatum.

Wow! Helluva game by Tatum! That’s more like it.

2nd best defensive game of the Celtics in terms of opponent eFG% (44.9%). How you bounce back from a very poor defensive effort in the 4th last meeting.

Celtics are now 16-0 when limiting opponents under 110 points and 13-1 when limiting opponents to below 54.0% eFG%. No matter how many threes they put up.

Defense is key. Bulls still got 21 fastbreak points -- were really good at turning our mistakes into points -- but had trouble scoring in the half court. Looks like Joe went double big most of the night other than the minutes the starting five played together.

(Tatum consistently doing 90% of whatever this was will make him garner more support for MVP.)

Xmas party. Watched most of it. SKATED (tat fyi) ON EM!!! I don’t agree on the CP but it’s not important. WIN WIN WINNER!!!!

But for the "too many threes" crowd, they heard you... This was the lowest 3-pt attempt rate game for the Cs this season (45.0%) and their highest % of points in the paint (48.8%).

I wouldn't expect too many of these paint dominant games in the regular season though. Still nice to know they can shift gears when called upon.
