Celts Successfully Mess With Texas! Victory Cigar vs SAS 2/12

Post #1 » by **bisme37** » Thu Feb 13, 2025 2:23 am

Omg you guys we won another big game this is a dream come true!

JT and KP Show! Unicorns rule, Aliens drool! Derrick and Al! Payton and Sam and Luke and Torrey Craig!

1st half was a Celtics romp as we whooped they butt on both ends and opened a 24 point lead. Fun! 2nd half was more of a grind as the C's shooting cooled off and the Spurs picked up their play. But the game was never really in doubt, and we finished strong and came away with a very nice win going into the break. 10 wins in our last 13! Yay!

Jays in the all-star game this Sunday! Celts off for a week! Sixers next Thursday, Go C's!

Almost nailed it.

JT for VC. The two logical candidates for CP were also the players whose turnovers made this game competitive, so no awards from me.

Wemby is brilliant, but today (17/13) he was kept somewhat under control. God job by the Celtics' defense.

I blame Joe Mazzulla for this result. Winning 7 of their last 8 games is totally unacceptable. A real coach would have won at least 10 of those games.

Tatum with Al for CP for defense on Wemby

We’re beasting!!! They should have gotten White his trip dub!! Tatum sonned those lil dudes! Al said, “NOT IN MY HOUSE PUP!” Zinger did his thing, cooked as he does! TC CAME TO PLAY AND CHEER!!! Hause MONEY!!! Pritch arrived!!! Everybody everywhere!!!

ASG and festivities, JD (the real MVP), Tatum, and JB.

I’ll miss the Celtics real games but a break is a break is a break!!

Good way to go into the break. Should have won by 20 though.
Love the way Tatum has played in the last few. Alpha dog.

Tatum and Zinger get my votes.

Spurs never really looked like winning this game at any stage. We were in total control the entire game.

Wish we didn't stop jacking up so many 3s and go into the paint/drive for field goals but I digress.

Very good defensive game overall

Excited to see Bill Simmons new docu Celtics City on 3/3

Really going into all star break with a lot of momentum and confidence. I am content if not excited lol

Went Tatum for offense and Horford for defense with my votes. Didn't like how White had all those TOs. Hauser good choice for CP too. Welcome to Boston, Torrey Craig. You'll fit just fine.

This game was not a coincidence. Having 2 less mouths to feed made Tatum start out strong and Boston literally never looked back. If either KP or Brown is out, in the regular season that is, Tatum and Boston play better.

OH and what coming out party for Graig.. Fit in like a Glove..

Luv bisme37's thread title.

Tatum played like League MVP, AGAIN, but damn why did Joe play Tatum 38 minutes in a 13 point win? And why did White play 39 minutes, Zinger 37 and Horford 34. Just run them into the ground, Joe, instead of developing the bench. Anyway, Porzingis played like an All-Star. Torrey Craig looked good, but who wouldn't shooting 2-2 from 3 with no major mistakes in 9 minutes.

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)

+31.5 Jayson Tatum 38 minutes

+23.5 Kristaps Porzingis 37 minutes

+16 Derrick White 39 minutes
+14 Sam Hauser 29 minutes

+9 Al Horford 34 minutes
+8 Payton Pritchard 31 minutes
+7 Torrey Craig 9 minutes
+6.5 Luke Kornet 16 minutes

+1 Baylor Scheierman 4 minutes

Team Total = 116.5

8-2 in our last 10.

Do we still want to fire Joe or are we done pancaking over the players being lazy for a month ?

Great team win, ball movement was spot on! JT has been on an incredible run?! “What they going to say now!” Great first half of basketball, looking fwd to the second half!

Fire obviously.

Ime would have called them all bitches and screwed half the staff by now to show them what real men do. His aura would have given them a net rating of +50.

Tatum and White for me, with Al's defense on Wemby a notable mention.

Fierce1 · Post #16 » by **Fierce1** » Thu Feb 13, 2025 3:45 am

JT VC

KP CP

KP hit some big shots in the 3rd and 4th that made sure the Spurs would not make a comeback.

All-time great victory thread title.

Two near triple-doubles, KP incredibly efficient on offense, Al with another strong game, PP with 7 rebounds.

We're cooking the last couple of weeks. And Tatum is playing like an MVP now that we're running more of the offense through him.

Post #19 » by **djFan71** » Thu Feb 13, 2025 5:42 am

We just kinda Embiided Wemby. Ran him in all the actions and gassed the Alien out.

That team is gonna be a problem soon, but luckily not quite this year.

Went Tatum. KP was super efficient, but only if you ignore the 743 possessions he was involved in that resulted in turnovers.

EDIT: Not a shot at the previous post, fallguy. I always do mine before reading the full thread. KP was insane, but it also felt like half the time we tried to go to him we turned the ball over.
