Celts Storm Back, Defeat The Mighty Yabu! Victory Cigar vs PHI 2/2

Post #1 » by **bisme37** » Mon Feb 3, 2025 1:36 am

Lol you guys I was very disgruntled 20 minutes ago and have no idea how we won that thing but yay! What a comeback!

Most of the game was a nightmare yikes! C's couldn't hit a shot and got repeatedly torched my Maxey, Yabu and a bunch of scrubs.

Then I noticed my clothes matched the Sixers color scheme, so I changed into my green pajama pants (seriously lol). And then we erased a 26pt deficit and won!

Jayson Tatum! (So good Doris was hyperventilating!) Derrick and Jaylen and Kristaps and Jrue and Sam and CELTICS BABY!

Cavs Tuesday, Go C's!

Never in doubt.

Great consistent 48 minutes from all involved.

The C's have been playing possum all season and Joe's a 4D chess grandmaster.

I was disgusted by this team but now I understand.

TBH, we Sucked!!!

I'm starting to side with the "Fire Joe!!!" crowd.

We have 14 NBA Players (13 tonight) and 3 Two-Ways.
But Mazzulla only plays 8.5 Players. Not good.

Magnificent game by Tatum.

Hopefully that win is enough to propel their second half of season.

So Boston's comeback broke the RealGM forum I see. Meanwhile it was Tatum's epic second half with NO Double Bigs (NOT a Coincidence IMO) Hauser spaced it out so Tatum could shine. But Beating Philly with that Game Day Roster was NOT impressive. Once Tatum had it going White and Jrue stepped up with Big 3s.

Who smokes it? The Celtics two best players, Tatum and White. Tatum was in MVP form in the 2nd half and White was a two-way monster. Win ofthe year.

Tatum played like League MVP, AGAIN. Too bad he had to play 44 minutes. Whew, an 8 point win after being down 26 is spectacular. Didn't look good when they couldn't shoot or rebound in the 1rst Half. Eventually Jaylen Brown, Zinger and Derrick White had good games, and Sam Hauser played very well in his 24 minutes. The Second Half Defense was Spectacular.

An Alternative Perspective:

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

+37 Jayson Tatum 44 minutes

+22.5 Jaylen Brown 42 minutes
+17 Kristaps Porzingis 31 minutes
+15.5 Derrick White 34 minutes
+11 Sam Hauser 24 minutes

+10 Jrue Holiday 34 minutes
+4 Al Horford 11 minutes

+2.5 Luke Kornet 13 minutes
-2.5 Jaden Springer 7 minutes

Team Total = 117

Celtics have until Thursday to use Al's salary for somebody useful. Attach what picks you need to find a playable big wing.

I blame Joe Mazzulla for this winning streak.

Also rough week-end for the Tatum isn't clutch crowd. Almost as rough as the Mavs fans last couple days. Almost.

It's because the Celtic star players want their individual stats.

Look at the Cavs.
The Cavs play 10 men every game.
That's why nobody is getting more than 31 minutes per game.

When you look at their stats, nobody is averaging 25 ppg or higher even when they're scoring 122 ppg, top 2 in the league.

Spida is having a great season, but his scoring average is down, one of the lowest of his career.

So if Joe uses 10 men, JT, JB, and KP will all have lower scoring averages.

This is on the players.

For a team as talented as the Celtics, no one should be averaging 25 ppg or more.

Only reason why Joe is having success with the Cs is because the players have his back and in return, Joe will let them try to achieve their personal goals.

Three straight!!!

A win against Cleveland will match our longest winstreak of the season lol!

Had it all the way

Voted the Jays but hat tips to Hauser and White

Fencer reregistered · Post #16 » by **Fencer reregistered** » Mon Feb 3, 2025 4:06 am

Hauser, Kornet and Brown were all at +17 or +18.

Nobody else beat +2.

White rounding back into form is the biggest thing that could happen to us.

Ruma85 makes the Game Thread on the GB we win.

Not a coincidence White played well the last 3 games and Cs win 3 straight.

Messed around, got down by 25+ late in the 3rd, then turned on a switch like it was nothing.

Don’t ever do that against a playoff calibre team lol.

Who smokes el cigarillo mas grande?
