TCOB VS OUR ONLY SERIOUS COMPETITION ATM - ALTHOUGH GIANNIS & DAME WILL BE THERE LATER.
BIID IS BIID & MAXEY IS BEGINNING HIS ENTRY TO SUPER STARDOM.

JT - TAKE THE **** OVER WHEN NECESSARY!
Move the ball.
Relentless D.
Zing, keep zinging 3s, posting up & protecting the rim. REBOUND MORE!
Jru & Derrick do your thing on both ends.
Sam keep shooting!
7 - Play SMART to your clear cut strengths & minimize your inevitable brain dead & selfish 1 on 3s & TOs. You did this better VS the Knicks.
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.

We're catching another team on 2nd night of a B2B. They're playing the Pacers tonight. Embiid might sit the frontend.
Read on Twitter

Gotta stop their hot streak if Pacers don't. They've won 8 straight after dropping opener vs. Bucks.

If the players ignore Joe’s gameplan (Threes and Drop Defense) like they have done the last 3 games we can easily win.

We took 43, 44, and 52 threes the last three games lmao. Looks like someone's forgetting his meds.

Back to back for Philly. No Batum or Oubre. C's motivated to get revenge after losing to Philly last time.

This *should* be a win for us..
Nothing wrong with having a different opinion - as long as it's done respectfully. It'd be lame if we all agreed on everything :)

I expect a big win.

Jrue and White lock up Maxey

KP runs Embiid off the court.

20+ points win for the good guys.

It would have been a complete joke otherwise. :lol: Did you take a look at what they've had so far? They been just chilling at home almost the whole time. Can't wait for the mid-season collapse when those road games start coming in.

Those were in rhythm threes not the chuckfest that Mazzulla likes. We are winning in spite of him.

In the 19-20 season, we lost each of the first 3 games we played vs Philly. Then swept them in the playoffs.

Also, the team played a ton of drop the last few games lol.

But yeah, the team is ignoring not just Mazzulla, but Lee and Cassell too.

I don't know how you watch these Celtics and think that they are forced against their will to shoot threes.

After finishing 3rd in offense and 8th in defense last year, Philly is all the way up to 3rd on offense and 7th on defense this season.

Return to Boston Celtics
