White was awesome. The points were great, but the blocks were even better. JB with an excellent bounce back game. Well balanced team effort against a team that shouldn’t be so good, but they are.

I really don't like these guys playing over 30 mins, in the RS. It's too long of a Season.
Get those Quality Bench Players in there.


I get tightening the rotation in Big matchups. but absolutely need the bench to play more. But remember this is a coach who played Old man Al almost 40 minutes per late last year. what a surprise when Horford's shot failed him in the playoffs. Boston has so many good starters that they can easily mix starters with bench players at all times.

Miami probably wins the game tonight had they traded for Dame.

Or Jrue.

Oh well. **** Heat Culture

Five starters scoring 17+ each. Must be a rarity. Dick Lipe, you here?

Horford played more than 35 minutes once after the all star break and that was a double OT game in early march. He also didn't play the second leg of back to backs. But you do you.

Herro wouldn’t be there though and he cooked us pretty hard.

But yh..Oh well indeed. Always good beating these greasy pieces of ****. I’m starting to hate these guys more than the Lakers.

Great bounce back game from Jaylen tonight. Derrick White was phenomenal, easy VC. Kristaps had his moments but I thought he got cooked pretty good by Bam most of the game.

Brissett I thought was really good for us also. Pritchard has to find ways to be more effective out there in his minutes.

Great win.

playing Al over 30 -35 min per is like 120 min per in dog years. Al is an old Dog and should never play that much. and Yes Al played in a 49 min game.. OT or not.

Doris Burke and that other lady is just a troll job by ESPN. What an absolutely **** ass water duo to feed your fans. The outrage when the refs called the Jimmy foul on White at the end was sickening. ‘It was a foul, BUUUUTT..’ like stfu greasy Heat nut hugging idiots.

Per Grande, Celtics were 4-16 last season when down by 13+ at any point of the game. Cs came back from being down 13 in the first half to win by 8. Now also 2-0 in clutch games.

I'm in Al Horford's camp but his limit should be 24 mpg. I'd have the medical team write it into the team files so Joe has to abide.

That's the Jrue effect.

Last season Smart was so unpredictable in the clutch.

Jrue as the PG gives the Cs stability and consistency.

2 wins on pure talent, but good news because they can play much better.

Not solely. Having a big like Porzingis who can catch inside or on the roll AND make something out of it is a game-changer esp against a Miami team that likes to play zone.

White was also more of the PG in this game, not Jrue.

Couldn't watch the game but I've just watched the highlights. I think Jimmy Butler will have D. White nightmares for a while.

Return to Boston Celtics
