JT for me. Then Al/JB and Grant.

Great persistence.

VC was JB up until Grant got stamped on and still came back out there.

Tatum came up really huge when it counted most..

Big Al came up with I think the biggest shot of the game..


Grant Williams about to get paid 25 million :nod:

Overall I hate that our offense slows up so much and that does include our superstar Tatum.

defense played great even despite the referees helping them often..
2 things need to go.. my lack of spell check and Joe.. :nod:

Boston had every chance to blow that game down the stretch.

Brogdan and Horford with killer 3s to keep the lead steady and Tatum put it home.

One of their best games all playoffs.

A tough game where the entire team performed their roles.

There was a brief few minute stretch where I thought they'd blow it. They had Tatum bringing the ball up, and as usual he was going VERY slow and getting nothing. Then they switched it up and had Brogdon initiate offense, and he got to ball to Tatum in much better positions leading to better offense and two dagger shots.

It's not hard, you have 3 PG's, let one of them bring the ball up. Everything works better that way.

Voted Tatum and Horford. Al made a bunch of huge 3’s and Tatum shut the door. Brown and Smart were great tonight too. Brogdon and Grant much better in the second half. Hope Rob is ok

Mostly the guards brought it up tonight. They had that right.

I’m going Grant. Dude changed the game. Got his head stepped on and came back for more. He and Smart provided that toughness.

Red Sox and Celtics both win against Philadelphia in Philadelphia. Rough night on 11th Street for Philly fans.

If only Tatum could close a game :wink:

Nice cameo by Playoff Al as well.

Great intensity and everyone that saw the floor had positive plays. Fun win.

Smart was our best player in the first half.

Jaylen was out best player in the 2nd half, or at least in the pivotal third quarter.

Tatum...played poorly for the most part, but still finished with a 27/10/5 line and helped close the game out.

Al didn't make his presence felt too too much tonight, but he hit a few incredibly timely shots.

Horford, Grant & Smart we’re awesome but this was the Jay’s game.

Bring that same intensity Sunday & finish this in 5 !
