Celts Lasso Bulls In The 4th! NBA Cup Victory Cigar vs CHI 11/29

Post #1 » by **bisme37** » Sat Nov 30, 2024 3:21 am

Hey cool you guys we won the big game phew that was crazy!

Payton Pritchard 4th quarter monster! Jayson Tatum elite all game! Additionally Kristaps and Derrick and JB!

Fun game, especially if you hate defense lol. Back and forth game but the Celts came up big in the 4th and came away with the win. Yay! Hopefully DWhite is ok after leaving with a sore foot.

I currently have no idea where we stand in the Cup Thing you guys!

Cavs Sunday, Go C's!

Celtics on pace for 69 wins. Nice.

We won. 16-3. Vegas can wait in the summer. PP and JT for my votes.

Beat the Cavs.

Pritchard's heroics kind of clouded Tatum's great game. Both smoke the cigar tonight.

Porzingis and White didn't disappoint. The rest of the team had a night to forget.

Next up: Let's extend the Cavs' back-to-reality week.

Really tough one. Needed all those points to win tonight. Tough game for JB. Hope he bounces back on sunday.

That assist by JB from the corner 3 to Jrue led to all starters scoring in double figures. Then Horford and PP combined for 31 pts off the bench.

Please be alright, DWhite.

Celtics can take best record from Cleveland on Sunday. Order in the league restored.

Queta didn't have a big game stats wise but he almost certainly had a big impact in the final quarter from his sheer physical presence.

I wish Joe played him earlier, but I get the reasoning why he had Al and KP in the game from an offensive spacing perspective.

JT's best game since opening night. Drove to the rim consistently, didn't over rely on threes, got to the line 10 times. He plays like this, he's the MVP of the league in a world without Jokic

11th 35/10/5 game by Tatum. Only 20 away from Larry.

PP 1st Celtics bench player in past 10 seasons to score 19+ pts in a quarter.

Jrue slept for 3 quarters and then made some winning plays

Payton Pritchard should be in the 3 point contest.

I can't be myself on thinking this.

Just looking at the standings for the cup.

The best way for the Celtics to get in is for the Magic to beat the Knicks and for the bucks or Detroit to beat each other by 7 or more.

Otherwise we need the Knicks to beat the magic by 38 points.

For the Cup enthusiasts:

"Pistons win big at Indiana.

It will come down to Tuesday for the Celtics and the NBA Cup.

Boston needs...

Orlando to beat New York AND...

Milwaukee to beat Detroit by 6 OR
Detroit to beat Milwaukee by 7."

JT MVP LEVEL

Pritch was otherworldly

White & Zinger solid

Jru clutch when it mattered

JB showed every one of his many flaws - yuck - ball handling, TOVs, dumb as **** selfish ISOs, FT misses

Derrick better not be significantly hurt!

Kick the Cavs in the ass on Sunday & take over first place permanently!

**** this idiotic cup nonsense.

BTW games like this make me wish I could go back in time to my teenage years when I first became a Celtics fan when I was 12 in 1992 (thanks to Larry Bird) and say things will get better to my teenage self for the rest of that decade when the Bulls kept winning Chips and we were stuck with the miserable ML Carr and esp *yuk* Rick Pitino years of hell.

Growing up in that time in Melbourne (Australia) I was literally the only Celtics fan I knew, everyone else rooted for either the Bulls, Hornets, Rockets or Magic, worse in the 00s, it was Lakers mania UGH

I still bitterly remember those bleak formative seasons as a Celtics tragic, and why I will never take our take our current team and success for granted.

Going through the bad/bleak times only makes the good/halcyon times all the more sweeter

These days you even see Kangaroos wearing Celtics merch down under (not really but you get my point

)

This team and entire franchise just brings so much light and happiness to my life. I feel so lucky and privileged in hindsight I became a Celtic (than a couple of years later, fan of all Boston/NE sports team)

Who smokes the big cigar?
