That was a fun game. We won despite DWhite being out, no small feat.

Queta was -10 in a 12-pt win. Pritchard was -4. Matched the eye test.
Everyone else played decent to great.

Q may not see another minute for a month. We have to find some way to figure out the d when Prichard is out there, this is just the regular season, what will it look like in the playoffs? We need him!

55-shooting rule strikes again. C's held Denver below 55% eFG% while shooting above 55% themselves. WIN.

Sam seems like he's moving better lately, hopefully, this is a great sign for the future! I won't say he's back back, but he looks like he's getting in a better groove, excluding the OKC game. We need him too!

Nice win.
VC to KP and Jrue. I felt before the game that KP would have a strong game in this one.
Nice to see Jrue finally have a big game. He is too good not to start playing at a high level.
We got outcoached for 3 and half quarters in this game. The game was tied in the 4th quarter, with 8 minutes remaining in the game. They didn't have Joker. No excuse for us playing even with them.
Queta played well in the 1st half. He got in the game accidently because Kornet picked up a few quick fouls. That's the only reason Joe played him.
Pritchard has a combined 3 points in the last 2 games. Brad build the bench before the deadline or before someone else picks up Walker.

JT 11-23 from the field, 1-9 from 3
Just play inside. Shoot the open 3s or cook the bigs
Joe just mentioned the open corner 3s we conceded. Hope he takes notes and will change something

Queta has always been boom or bust. When he's good, he's really good. When he's bad, it's painful to watch. Why Joe relies more heavily on guys like Horford or Kornet who may not have high ceilings, but offer more stability.

More C&S threes for JT, cut out the pullups. He'll average 30+ easy.

And we won a game while taking only 35 3s (making 12) while DEN took and made more (14-36)

Unless you're a big it's not likely you're going to play inside all the time. I think he's above-average shooting the three this season, surely for his career, I would like him to keep taking them. He'll get back to cooking soon.

Just shows the Celtics are not just a 3pt shooting team.
Only 35 attempts from 3, way below their average of 50 per game.
Joe used 9 players in this game and that's the Cs missing White and Walsh.
This regular season for the Celtics is about getting better and gathering data.
That's why I don't get all the fuss about why this team is not great.
I even heard "one hit wonder".
Seriously?
How many hits have Donovan Mitchell and SGA have in the conference finals?
Those who can't appreciate Joe and what they're trying to do in this regular season are not seeing the big picture.

I want Joe to throw caution to the wind and play Springer with most of the starters for a good little stretch in a game. could have done it since white was out. They must work him in practice. He obviously can play one second of defense because that's the only time he gets out there.

Moment off the game when our studio guys asked if getting hit in the balls hurt more in high altitude
