Okay ?
Have you completely forgotten what happened last season when we went 16-3 ?


I'm confused. So Joe isn't why they lost in 22 but he is the reason they won in 23?

If not, your point is misleading if not completely disingenuous.


It’s a collective effort dude.

We’re 17-4. Stop overreacting.


Sigh.

You may be ok with Joe abilities but that doesn't mean I have to be.

In case you didn't know, Celtics have not yet lost by double digits this season.

Last season the Celts lost by double digits twice after 20 games.

For a championship team, small improvements matter.


It doesn't matter until the playoffs. I don't care if they finish with 25 loses.

But what matters to you doesn't have to matter to me and vice versa.

So if you think little improvements don't matter to you then just ignore my post.


Yes. And objectively, comparing this team to last years is a ridiculous and futile game.

There is no scientific data that can be collected in your efforts. As long as you know that then we're good.

Down Brown and White I thought the Green played good
Mitchel was unconscious in the 4th, like always against the Celtics

PP played great (I think he should get more touches and plays in a close game - he is a winner - instead of the dribble, dribble nowhere to go plays), JT was good and Hauser and Peterson played really well, especially on defense and on the boards. I like Peterson, he is a player
Kornet had his minutes and played hard

Jrue and Al are somewhat off. They'll play better comes playoff

16-4 not 17-4 yet. They better bounce back tomorrow. I hate losing games like this. We should be on top of the eastern conference and not the cavs.


Would you rather lose a game like this to Cleveland? Or a game like this to Washington?
and that's "MR. Irrelevant" to you!!

Only reason why I don't like the Cs losing is the board gets salty. :lol:

Some Celtic fans want an 82-0 record.

Tatum curled so bad in the 4th compared to Mitchell. Pathetic.


I knew this bolded part was coming. I came in here looking specifically for this. You have to understand what you just watched from Donovan Mitchell is special. JT played an excellent game/quarter but Mitchell put on a masterclass hitting like 6 or 7 shots in a row. The ease in which this guy scores is almost unreal. I cannot blame JT at all for losing a shootout against this guy.
