KP Blasts Off, Celts Avoid Shuttle Disaster! Victory Cigar vs HOU 1/21

Post #1 » by **bisme37** » Mon Jan 22, 2024 2:25 am

Hooray you guys we won the big game and ended that awful one game losing streak!

Kristaps Porzingis! Monster game on both ends! Derrick was great too and Payton and Luke were big off the bench. Edit: And JB had a triple double!

It was a strange Celtics performance in that they were excellent in some parts of the game and unusually terrible in others lol. I don't really know what else to say but it was a win and I'll take it!

Mavs tomorrow, Go C's!

KP and Luke for me...would be White for CP but made a lot of odd mistakes for him tonight while still being good, whereas I thought Luke was very important and consistently good for us.

The odd burn-the-tape win, almost as rare as a Jaylen Brown triple-dumble.

On to the next.

33-10. 9-1 coming off a loss.

S/O to Brissett for giving JB his third career tripdub.

Game of the year easy...

VC for KP. White for puff.

Agreed. He has been looking like a scrub for awhile now. Pritchard has looked a lot better although I don't think either is playable after Round 1 :wink:

Perk's bird brain quote about Mazzulla is spot on but can a bird fly backwards :lol:

Not a great game but a win is a win especially on the road. KP was awesome and gets the VC for me. DWhite was equally as awesome and gets the CP. Nice games for Kornet, Pritchard and Hauser (didn’t shoot well but did other things). Nice triple double by JB, did a little bit of everything.

Get rest, beat Mavs tomorrow

The thing is Hauser is making the minimum. Pritchard is making double that and will start earning $7 mil. a season. Meanwhile minimum guys routinely outplay him as did Aaron holiday tonight. I appreciate his hustle and can-do attitude but he's limitations are not something he can overcome through mental fortitude.

Ime knows neither JT nor JB like physical play, seems like JT just checked out when he didn't get a few calls...

Edit: JB adjusted after rocky start and took what defense allowed

JT... Just seemed like his feud w refs took him out

Voted KP and White. Good that they got this win because i feel tomorrow is a scheduled loss. Luka will torch us once again. Kyrie and GWill probably have this game marked on their calendars as well.

With Al Horford out for rest and Holiday out for minor elbow issue, Jayson Tatum was 50% of his usual self. Ouch. Porzingis, White and Brown played like All-Stars. Kornet played really well while Pritchard and Hauser contributed in their extended minutes.

An alternative view:

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

+26.5 Kristaps Porzingis 33 minutes

+20.5 Derrick White 36 minutes
+20 Jaylen Brown 31 minutes
+17.5 Luke Kornet 23 minutes

+11.5 Payton Pritchard 30 minutes
+11 Jayson Tatum 35 minutes
+10.5 Sam Hauser 31 minutes

+3 Oshae Brisset 18 minutes
0 Neemias Queta 3 minutes

Team Total = 120.5

KP just the first Celtics player to record 30 pts, 5 made threes, and 5 blocks in a game. Third of his career. Six other players have done it in NBA history. Oddest collection of players -- LaFrentz, Boogie, Batum, Cliff Robinson, Brook Lopez, and Millsap. LOL.

They will get hunted mercilessly , Pritchard plays with confidence , Hauser I still don’t trust , I can’t think of a big shot he’s taken snd made . We needed a hybrid Hauser / Pritchard upgrade

I liked Browns game tonight. Never complain about a road win.

Who smokes the big cigar?
