Celts Launch Rockets Out Of The Gym! Victory Cigar vs HOU 1/13 

Post#1 » by bisme37 » Sun Jan 14, 2024 2:21 am

Omg you guys we bounced back and smashed those dudes hooray!

The JAYS were COOKING tonight and dominated the game! KP and Derrick were great too and Payton was balling off the bench!

Early on it looked like we might be in for a grind, but then the C's went juggernaut mode and turned the game into a Celtics highlight video lol. Fun game to watch and a great way to shake off the bad night on Thursday. Even the refs ejecting JT couldn't kill the vibe!

Raps Monday, Go C's!

JB is playing the best ball of his career. Lock down D and efficiently scoring the ball. JT was insane as well.

Tatum’s first half was insane, Jaylen’s third quarter was insane. KP was amazing on both ends, White hit shots again.

Celtics have now won 19 straight at home, with a point differential of 15.5 ppg. That would be on pace for second best all-time (at least according to AI), behind the 1972 Lakers and ahead of the 1996 Bulls.

7 of the top 10 teams in home point differential went on to win the title. The other 3 -- 2016 GSW, 1992 POR, 1997 UTA -- all made the Finals.

I consider tonight expected but yet fun as hell..

VC for Tatum on who clearly has found his jump shot...

brown for his overall great play..

and a shout out for AL who looked young again..

Well, my main takeaway is the c's are much better when they make 50% of their threes then when they make only 25% like against the Bucks.

Much like how we shouldn't read too much into the Bucks game given the scheduling and three-point variance, probably shouldn't read too much into this one for the same reason. Rockets on a travel B2B, C's on fire from three.

Still, nice bounce back win. Good to see the Jay's on fire.

C's win 2 easier games @Tor and vsSAS before 7 consecutive games against teams that are .500 for better to finish out January. vsDEN, @HOU, @DAL(B2B), @MIA, vsLAC, vsNOP, vsIND(B2B), vsLAL.

Voted Brad Steven (other) for not using the TPE for Tate.

I changed the thread title lol, I couldn't remember if I'd already used that one since I'll sometimes come up with something and then the game goes the other way and I change it.

Tatum wrecked the Rockets doubles/traps tonight, that’s more playoff practice. They are super physical, and their traps were pretty aggressive. Didn’t matter lol.

Jaylen’s three ball is beautiful again.

Great team effort. Brown, Tatum and Pritchard (in that order) were exceptional, but everyone showed up tonight.

Welcome back Ime! 145-113

JT & JB were awesome with 59 points on 32 shots. Nice bounce back game. Got JT for VC (set the tone in the first half) and JB for CP (love the two blocks).

Hopefully tonight the beginning of a 5+ winning streak
