JT made great plays even when he's not shooting well.

Great outlet pass to Jrue for the touchdown, grabbed rebounds, and forced the Wolves to call timeout after draining a 3.

Let Tatum be.

The Luke haters sure are quiet right now :)

Luke and Jrue looking good out there.
Nothing wrong with having a different opinion - as long as it's done respectfully. It'd be lame if we all agreed on everything :)

A guy like Kevin Love would be perfect for this Celtics team.


They do need a stretch big but not someone as slow as Love. Not sure you can even play Love in the playoffs these days. Need someone more mobile. Not sure many players who fit that description are available though.

Tatum's ankle must be bothering him. Hasn't driven once. All fades and threes.

No reason for JT to keep taking the fadeaway back your defender down all the way, force your way to the paint don’t bail the defense out.

Brissett doing a little too much

Wolves quick to adjust. We were getting easy scores on dumpoffs earlier. Those passes no longer there now. Touch paint, kick out.

JB really helps with the rebounding.

I think the Cs would not have gotten pounded on the glass against the Pistons if JB played.

Whoah! I PP PP too, I was always impressed by the all-around game, the low turnover rate, and that he was
very underrated by Celtics fans - how many would have settled for a Middle 2 in a trade for him? On the Trade Board,
I said he was worth a First Round pick, something I mentioned very earlier here.
