Celts Break the Curse, Make Magic Disappear! Victory Cigar vs ORL 12/15

Post #1 » by **bisme37** » Sat Dec 16, 2023 2:50 am

Hey that was fun you guys! We dunked on their heads a bunch of times and got the magic monkey off our backs!

Jayson balled out, Jaylen was electric, Derrick was great and the bench was awesome! Pritchard, Hauser, Queta, Brissett and Stevens... good job, guys! An impressive and satisfying win considering the depleted roster.

Magic again Sunday, Go C's!

I posted too many tweets you guys!

DId not expect an easy win with Porzingis, Horford, Kornet and Dalano Banton out. Thought rebounding and interior defense would be major problems. 7 guys played well, with 4 of the bench guys killing Orlando (Pritch, Hauser, Brissett & Stevens). That will do it. Thought that Joe overplayed Tatum at 39 minutes. Didn't need to stay out that long. I really like Brown when he limits himself to 15 shots instead of 18+.

An alternative perspective:

Pts. + Rebounds + (0.5 x Assists) + Steals + (0.5 x Blocks) - Missed FGs - (0.5 x Missed Free Throws) - Turnovers - (0.5 x Fouls)

+22.5 Derrick White 30 minutes
+22 Payton Pritchard 28 minutes
+22 Jayson Tatum 39 minutes
+18.5 Sam Hauser 31 minutes
+14 Jaylen Brown 30 minutes
+8.5 Oshae Brissett 16 minutes

+8.5 Jrue Holiday 28 minutes
+7 Lamar Stevens 14 minutes

+5 Neemias Queta 18 minutes
-1 Svi Mykhailiuk 5 minutes

Team Total = 127

Mo Wagner is a **** loser and always will be. Period, the end.

Shoutout to the Jays and the whole bench tonight

We remain undefeated at home while putting these Magic fools in their place. I rarely do, but I voted TEAM. Bench stepped up big time today.

Starting to think maybe we shouldn't blow it up.

Most fun regular season game in how long???

If the bench doesn't get a VC now they never will..

Fierce1 · Post #7 » by **Fierce1** » Sat Dec 16, 2023 2:52 am

JT for VC

JB for CP

Most of the Magic defenders were just too little for JT, so he Tatumized them all!

This one goes to Pritchard and Hauser repping the bench.

Look at Hauser's minutes. Look at his box score.

He needs 30 mins a night.

Hauser is going to be very good for a long time in Celtic green.

What a fun game! The C's started cold but then completely dominated the cheeky upstart Magic. Brown's dunks were the highlight for me, but the whole team played well. Pretty good night for the bench.

Let's do this again to this team soon.

Voted PP and Sam. Jaylen did set a tone though. White was terrific as usual. Tatum very good except for the dopey threes.

Fierce1 · Post #13 » by **Fierce1** » Sat Dec 16, 2023 2:55 am

I think this Celtic bench is fine and only needs another big in case something like this, no Al and no KP, happens again.

Queta is fine for the regular season.

The cost of Caruso is just too high.

PP just needs to make 3s when he's open.

Excellent win by the Celtics. Would be awesome if they follow it up with a win on Sunday.

Jaylen Brown was awesome and got the Celtics started but I’m going with Tatum for VC tonight. I thought JT played a near perfect game.

A ton of players played great tonight especially guys that hardly play. Hard to pick just one. Going team for CP.

Hopefully Mazzulla learned a little more about his roster tonight.

Great team win!!!!!!!!!

Favorite stat of the day: SIX guys with at least 4 assists. That doesn't happen a lot, especially for this team. Ball was moving quick today. LOVE the pace and how they pushed at every opportunity.

3:1 assist/turnover ratio while forcing 20+ turnovers. Fun game.

And it will only get better as the season progresses.

The best game so far considering the circumstances. Tatum carrying the load with Brown, but the bench did oh so well.
Pritchard and Hauser are assassins and very capable on defense. And love me some Derrick White!

The Celtics drop 128 points on a top 5 defense on the second night of a back to back to blow out one of the best team in the East with no frontcourt to speak of. Does Mazzulla get any credit ?
1/ Lol no.
2/ Are you kidding me ?

Yeah, Sam's defense has really improved.

You can't pick on him anymore.

Who smokes the big cigar?
