We may have won the battle but the Toronto bench's feelings were hurt so we lost the war.

Nice job by Joe limiting the starters' minutes.

Only the Jays got over 30 minutes of playing time.

He's a difference maker.


Me too. People get upset about the rebounds but he carves out enough space for Tatum, Jrue, even PP to clean them up. He’ll never be a guy to get 12 consistently because of his frame but he’s been great.

Love him in the hub spot you often see Jokic in at the top of the arc. A noticeably more impactful defender than Rob (at least last year) and at this point I trust him to stay healthy enough barring a freak situation that could happen to anyone.

Can Brad trade a reporter to another team?

This current Celtics team has good chemistry.

No need for any roster moves any time soon.

Missed the game entirely damn. Based on game recap, going with Tatum and KP. Let’s keep it going!

Good win.

I went with KP and Brown for VC. Tatum a close 3rd. All 3 played really well.

Hauser, Al and Pritchard all played well off the bench.

Very good overall team defense, led by Jrue and White.

Good coaching job by Joe. When we lose he gets a lot of the blame, when we win, he hardly ever gets the credit.

The guy is just very strong now.

Last season I was laughed at when I said he's on the same level as Larry Bird.

Right now it's very clear JT belongs on Larry's level.


Tatum still needs to improve his leadership and passing ability to get near Bird's level. Tatum is great.
Bird was at a different level.

Yeah, not saying he's already as good as Larry, but clearly JT is on that level.

That level is certainly above Paul Pierce's level.

Agreed but at this point we can say that he's by far the most talented "homegrown" Celtic in at least three decades, even four possibly. (We'll never know what Len Bias could've been.)

Just saw this, well worth watching. And the last 30 seconds prove that Porzingis reads this board.

I've been excited about their two man game since the preseason. Its getting better. It will be huge down the line to have reliable offensive actions that don't include Tatum. Seems like Holiday and KP are also developing good chemistry. When JT sits, it would be ideal to have KP on the court with JB as much as possible, I think that would really help the non JT minutes

Cs have basically tamed the Raptors. They have now won 13 of the last 16 matchups since Raptors won the title.

Only one player needs that message to be received.


Fortunately, JB and KP seem to get along both on and off the court.
