Refs calling us for some questions moving screen, but Hartenstein is allowed to hip check Tatum....

Kick-ahead passes are among my favorite things players do on the court. Jrue needs to pass out more on his drives though.

Knicks are so horny for offensive rebound that they’re giving up these transition plays lol.

Need JB to get going. Don’t care if he can score baskets in fast breaks but need to see more out of him in the half court offense which is what playoff basketball is gonna be like most of the time

I love Derrick.
SamIam 2010: Truth's ability to play so incredibly efficiently is so UNDERAPPRECIATED. Bballcool 2012: Amazing how great Pierce has been for so long. Continues to defy age! KG 2013: P is original Celtic. Wherever he goes, we go. This is The Truth's house.

Pacers may drop 140. All but two of their players are in double digit scoring. When do we play the Wiz?

DWhite didn’t lead the team in net rating for last season for no reason. When he’s out there, the Celtics are great. Just needs to stay out of foul trouble which is almost never the case with him.

4 blocks already for KP.

Celtic defense automatically became better just by the addition of KP.

It's hard to score when a 7-3 guy is defending the paint.

KP is making Joe look good.

Not overreacting, but we have a clear #1 & 2
[quote=“dkb964”]156-1 Celtics are frauds when pressure is put on them. They would have been toast if Luka was not stupid enough to foul himself out. Enjoy this ONE finals win. There will never be another with the Js and the Celtics cant afford stacked team.[/quote]

This starting 5 for us is so good. They're only gonna get better as they keep developing chemistry. Remember, 2 of the 5 guys are brand new to the team..

Yeah. Made a few mistakes in the 1st quarter. But it seems like he got the jitters out of the way and in the 2nd and 3rd quarters we're back to seeing the real D-white.

The block on Barrett was beautiful.
