Celtics bench outscored Bucks bench, 31-22. Horford, Hauser, and PP all in double figures. Only KP was in the positive among starters. Our bench with at least +5 each. Pretty much made up for Jrue's awful offensive performance.

Brown and KP were special tonight. The near failure at the end of the game after the collapse in Charlotte is worrisome.
"I think the criticism's stupid," Stevens said. "So I don't care. I'm with Jaylen (Brown) on that. Those two had achieved more than most 25 and 26 year olds ever had. I'd rather be in the mix and have my guts ripped out than suck."

Cs were not lucky.

The Celtics took care of business for 3 quarters.

It's only natural that the Bucks would make some sort of a run.

If the Celtics were not good for 3 quarters then this would've been a different story.

Jrue and White were the only Celtics who played poorly on offense. Jaylen was my pick but a solid team win with the bench chipping in big time.

Brown was great. KP and Horford were great. Tatum’s dunk saved what would have been an absolute meltdown L from this team. That was an incredible play by him.

44 minutes of flawless basketball followed by a 4 minute disaster. Old habits die hard.

Happy about the win, but not too happy with the **** I saw there at the end.

White was good on offense.

Jrue was the only starter playing poorly on offense.

JB quiets the haters a bit tonight! Sick windmill dunk….. solid win , this live and die by the three crap needs to go away, especially when we have a large lead. We literally keep teams hanging around because we’re bricking threes. Whatever happened to going to the rack and getting the easy buckets at the line or simply shooting two’s?! This has to change a bit or it will be the same outcome as last year. Get cold from threes and it’s ovaaaaaaaaaa.

I liked your idea of bringing in Queta and give Lopez a few hard fouls :lol:

Joe using only 8 guys in a game November is interesting. Not sure what to make of it. He changes who he uses from game to game.

Imagine losing to the Hornets and then in the next game beating the Bucks. Jekyll and Hyde, but I will take the win

And this is just around 70% of the Celtics' full potential.

Cs are going to get better once they play a lot more games.

It's a good sign that there is already good chemistry.

Wait a couple of months more and this teams should be a well-oiled machine.

Went Horford. He was the only one with balls out there in the 4th

Return to Boston Celtics
