Heck yeah, you guys! I don't know what the buck that ending was lmao... but we held on for a big WIN!

The JB & KP Show was incredible! Plus JT, Horford, White, Jrue, Sam and Pritch! I had a whole other thing written here about how awesome we are but deleted it when it got tight down the stretch lol. (Fake comeback and crap refs pfft!)

But the Celtics played a good game tonight and were the superior team and I'll take it!

Happy Thanksgiving! Early game vs Magic Friday, Go C's!

Shoutout to Horford for being the only adult in that 4th Q.

Two games in a row now where they lose double digit leads in the final minutes. They managed to pull it out this time, but it can't keep happening.

Brown & Horf!

Great bounce back game. Those refs had me shaking my fist in the air.

Well, it seems that we've killed one of the 4 heads of the Buckheard so called monster. Wolverus seems to be a bigger challange in Minnesota.

This is the point of the season where you can’t celebrate beating the Vegas rival because you just threw one out to Charlotte.

Glad they kept it going at home for sure.

Doris Burke needs to be shot out of a cannon though.

Gotta go Brown. Nice comeback game for him.

Al gets honorable mention.

Brown and Porzingis becoming best friends smokes the cigar and was the only takeaway for me this game.

Wasn’t a great closeout but they’re a legitimately good team offensively and have Dame so they’re always going to be tough to put away.

No doubt the usual whiners will whinge about how much we suck though and how bad Mazzulla is

Celtics would have lost if Middleton played.


Oh wait he played??

Excellent team win. Jaylen Brown played a great game and is VC for me. I also thought Jayson Tatum played a great game. You could see he lost stamina at the end but still made big plays. Tatum for CP.

Horford is awesome!!!!

Nice team win, bench played well.

Brown deserves it.

But Horford gets a few puffs for manning up in the 4th.

He was really the only player who did

Gave it to Brown and KP for their Stockton to Malone impersonation.

That was a horrfic 4th Q but still a good win. Excellent three quarters. Brown easily player of the game. White gets my second vote with efficient shooting and did a bit of everything. Great D. Porzingis was good overall but defensively got bullied a bit and that flopping and T sequence got the Bucks back into the game. The bench was excellent. Tatum/Jrue were poor overall.

Weird game, lucky to come up with the W. Tatum clearly not himself, and he complained way too much in that near 4th Q collapse. Got to be better on the defensive boards.

It's early, but Cs showing signs of "this is not last season's Celtics".

Championship teams win ugly games.

The 4th was ugly, but the Cs did enough to hold on.

It's too early in the season to expect perfection from the Celtics.

Come on, it's still November.

These refs absolutely wanted to make sure the Bucks covered the spread.

Al was great individually too
