Hot damn you guys we wrecked the Knicks and won the hell out of the big game!

Jayson Tatum! The only thing stopping him was a restraining order! (Mark Jones haha.) Also Payton Pritchard! (On all night like a porch light!) Plus Derrick and JB and Al! And incredible games from Luke Kornet and Neemias Queta!!

Celts were on the attack from the jump and had a double digit lead roughly 5 seconds into the game lol. The Knicks made their run early in the 3rd, but then JT went muy loco and it was a Celtics blowout again. We too good for them dudes! Fun!

Heat Monday, Go C's!






.

What a difference a day makes? From not being able to make a shot or defend against Dallas, to bludgeoning the Knicks in 2 days. Whew! Tatum played like League MVP, AGAIN. Pritchard and Kornet played like All-Stars. Queta and White had solid games. The best thing that you could say about JB was his defense.

An Alternative Perspective:

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)

+32.5 Jayson Tatum 37 minutes
+27 Luke Kornet 29 minutes
+25.5 Payton Pritchard 27 minutes

+17 Derrick White 25 minutes
+14 Neemias Queta 26 minutes

+8.5. Al Horford 31 minutes
+6.5 Jaylen Brown 32 minutes
+4.5 Sam Hauser 17 minutes
+2 Baylor Scheierman 4 minutes
+1.5 Jordan Walsh 4 minutes

-1.5 Xavier Tillman 5 minutes

Team Total = 137.5

JT smokes it.

KP has to look in the mirror and ask himself what this team is doing to be so successful when he sits.

Looking forward to hearing (again) that the Knicks and Cavs are better than the Celtics.

Also, that guy Tatum can play, no? Pritchard and Kornet didn't suck either. Queta rocked.

We're spoiled, brothers and sisters.

Great Prime Time showing, love it.

As far as VC’s: Tatum gets his default BUT Luke was real damn impressive and the correct matchup for tonight’s assignment.

JT!

He's now following the likes of MJ, Lebron, Steph, and other greats by putting on a show at MSG.

Ok If this game doesn't Prove Boston/Tatum and the rest are Trolling Me/Us I don't know what does.

Tatum and PP of course. And a shout out to Kornet who is Bill Walton Lite on offense.. Even If he is Greg Kite on defense... Sorry but that's what I got for tonight

3 words:

Jason **** Tatum

Credit Luke and PP too!

Luke is great for a 3rd string Center.
He's really an improved player now.

PP making his case for 6th man of the year.
6-8 from 3 and 25 pts.
Wow!

Aggressive Tatum impressive Tatum

Inject that win into my veins! Good to see us get up for a big game. Bolsters the we’ll turn it on in the playoffs narrative.

I went with JT and Kornet for the VC. Impressive games from the two of them. Shoutout to PP as well.

Do we look better without KP?

Three way tie between JT, PP and Luke but I went with JT

Beautiful to watch.

Best team in the world when we play like this. If JT could approximate this every game, he'd be MVP hands down.

Credit to Joe for managing JB. And I must say I think we play better when KP isn't siphoning shots and mucking up the offense.

And shout out to PP flowing. (ha)

Everybody was good really.

Luke was great, 7/7 from the floor, +21… I don’t know if Luke is gonna re-up after this season on another one year min. If a team offered him Theis Rocket’s money (4/$36) after the season, it’d be completely believable, and that’d be impossible for Luke to decline.

With Al getting older, I’m feeling glad we have Neemi this year, next year and ‘26-27 under cost-controlled contract. Queta came thru tonight with 11pts/8rebs and, he’s not a flawless player, but he’s a solid option to have on our roster and he’s come thru in big moments

Torrey Craig Era off to the sort of start I expected.

Always extra sweet to beat the Knicks.

Had to vote JT and Pritchard, but immediately regretted not voting Kornet because he was huge throughout. When the Knicks get punked from the start by our third string center my heart just goes to a special place.

Didn’t someone say they brought Bridges in to be a Tatum stopper, hell to contain him?? He’s been cooking him, no grease! Love when Tatum gives the board a hush mouth.

Yeah, that's true, about KP mucking up the offense.

The Celtics and KP have 2 months to figure out how to play with balance.

Serious question does need to be asked concerning KP. I mean, everyone knows he is talented. And Yes they won it last year with him, sort of (he missed many payoff games) But Chemistry issue such as "too many mouths to feed" (my theory)

But how should Boston move forward this season at least??
