Hey wow you guys we bounced back from our mini losing streak and won the big-ass game this is amazing!

Derrick Big Balls White! Al OG Horford! Jaylen and Jayson (kinda) and Payton and Queta (!) and team!

Sleepy start to the game considering the two heavyweights on the court. Early start, chilly weather, crowd was dead, and both teams came out very sloppy.

Thankfully the C's woke up and executed the game plan well for the most part. Kept them out of transition, won the rebounding battle, and made more shots. 2nd half got pretty stressful but we responded well, made some big defensive plays in the clutch and held them off. Good win, much appreciated!


Blazers Wednesday, Go C's!






.

Nice team W. Both Tatum and Brown made dumb decisions/mistakes at the end but we don't win this game without them.

Great game by Queta.

Jokic must be the only creative robot in the market.

Gotta be Horford, excellent defense on mvp. Big moments for D white as well

Thank you DWhite.
Played good basketball at the start and then keep giving away last minutes of each QT to Denver and they come back.
JT and JB no comments in the last QT outside that JB block..

Big shots by White down the stretch.

Al turned back time.

White smokes, for saving our asses over and over again in the fourth.

Also shouting out Queta, for nearly posting a double double and a team best +11 in 17 minutes.

Cs did this without KP and Jrue.

Health will be the key this season.

Jb had more defensive recoveries in the 4th that will go unnoticed because it wasn’t a recorded stat. He definitely needed to stop shooting, he was off that q. They were excellent looks for him but he stunk converting.

Thanks for the game threads constable! Helps keep things rocking!


Bis thank you too as always!

Only 5th instance of Horford with 19+ pts and 3+ stls in a Celtics uniform. We are 5-0 in those games.
Only 11th instance of White with 5+ 3pms and 2+ stls in a Celtics uniform. We are 9-2 in those games.

Those two get my vote. Stepped up in KP and JT's absence.

Happy birthday to JT! One of the most accomplished almost-27 year old that's ever played in the league. No matter what the naysayers tell ya.

We go as far as DWhite will lead us.

C's only took 43.6% of their shots from 3, one of their lowest 3-pt attempt rates of the season.

Last season, Cs had a 3-pt attempt rate of 47.1% for the whole season. They've only had 10 games this season where they've attempted that much or less. 6-4 now in those games.

So weird that Nuggets took more threes than the Cs and Cs won points in the paint battle. Looks like Cs had extra effort in taking away the paint.

Did Brown make a shot in the last quarter? If so, I missed it. Thank goodness Horford was running the floor on that critical play.

Great to take that victory home, good job!!

Only other thing that I’ve got is AoS for Craig after he quit with 1.8 seconds left in the half, didn’t grab a rebound of the missed Ft right in front of him nor try to play D on a three quarter shot that then hit the rim.

Don't think Jrue will be completely healthy for awhile. I'm reading it takes 4-8 weeks for his kind of injury, mallet finger, to completely heal. Depending on severity. Anyone can feel free to correct me though.

This seasons been an injury filled one for Craig, so minutes were pretty low. But last season he had one game where he got less that 10 minutes logged in the 53 games he played in. He only started 14 of those games.

He’s gonna need minutes to get acclimated in the system.

Nuggets defense was tough imo, Cs ball movement also not that great.

Good win, awful JT performance. His continued scoring/efficiency inconsistency at this stage of his career is frustrating. He wonders why he isn't the "face of the league". Look no further

Tatum and Brown look tired.
Joe really needs to play them fewer minutes. Craig, Walsh, Queta, Hauser can all play more. We will win some and lose some but need to be ready for the postseason.
