D-White is our 3rd best player and when he’s involved we’re tough to beat

Funny how the Celtics are probably playing a C or C+ games against the 2 best team the East has to offer and have been up double digits all game with a lead of about 20 on the road.

Getting DWhite involved on offense usually yields positive results :)

Man, tough shotmaking pushed the lead but, it’s not great offensive basketball. Sometimes you’ll make 3 30% shots in a row… and it’s called fools gold…. That said, I’ll take it, lol

Idk White is better just standing in the corner uninvolved if you ask me. I think JB’s isos and Horford’s post ups are more effective

Loving the response by the boys after the Knicks got within 3. Absolutely satisfying soul destroying stuff

You guys keep supplying the evidence for what I firmly believe. We have a coach who has the opportunity to make that happen but doesn't.

But I Cannot agree more with what you just stated.

Still think it’s a healthy KP but if Derrick white is balling, it doesn’t matter if the jays are playing okay the Celtics are probably gonna win. He changes everything if he’s hitting threes

More boneheads than you'd like to see, but, definitely excellent game. I've been in the club for a while, very active.

The two man game with him and Tatum is automatic.

Brown was amazing last year, but White's easily better than Brown this year.
