I mean White and PP being the first 40-40 combo in Celtics history is just the craziest stat to me

PP and White for Co-VC

Mike Tirico gets a puff too, fun having him. Cracked me up for some reason hearing him do the random regional ads we have, he did great lol

No doubt who should smoke the cigars tonight.

I wanted to mention Brown. He had a bad offensive game but he did recognize who was on and let them go crazy (like he should every game but doesn't). Well done.

Also, the Blazers are coming. Might take a couple years but they're on the right path.

When was the last time a team had 4 guys drop 40 in a season? Has that happened before?

Edit* the Knicks, this season :nonono:

Pritch just had the best game of the year by a Celtic (Technically I think he's tied with Tatum). White had a MONSTER GAME. Horford and Queta played very well, and Jordan Walsh MIGHT have just had his best game of the year. Everyone else was "eh'. Only reason Celtics won is Pritch had the best game of the year by any Celtic, White was MONSTER, with support from Al and Queta.

An Alternative Perspective:

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)

+48.5 Payton Pritchard 43 minutes

+35.5 Derrick White 39 minutes


+15.5 Al Horford 31 minutes

+10 Jaylen Brown 40 Minutes
+8.5 Jordan Walsh 21 minutes
+5.5 Neemias Queta 11 minutes

+4 Sam Hauser 32 minutes
+3.5 Luke Kornet 23 minutes

Team Total = 131

84 points on 46 FG attempts.

Adjust for 9-9 FT shooting as you choose.

All with only 3 TOs (and 7 assists).

13 rebounds as well, 4 of them offensive.

3 steals, 1 block, only 2 fouls committed.

PP will win 6th man of the year and still I think people don't appreciate what a great player he is. He is legit a Big time weapon on offense. F*ck you IME for burying him. Ime now doing it to Reed Sheppard. D White and PP just Proved that Boston often has too many mouths to feed and not enough BBs.

Not Hondo and Russell. Not Bird and McHale, Not Pierce and KG or Ray Allen, Not Tatum and Brown. BUT D White and Payton Pritchard make history Twice. Nine 3s and a double 40+ piece .. Take your bows gents!
There is no prize for coming so close Do something!

The Celtics have 5 guys with the scoring talent to conceivably be involved in this kind of night. (Porzingis)

Comparing to the 1980s:

Bird -- obviously
McHale -- obviously
Parish -- yes
Ainge -- yes
Maxwell/Walton -- no
Wedman, in his Celtic years -- mayyyyybe ... and is he really ahead of Hauser?
DJ -- ditto

We could have omitted the poll on this one.
[quote=“dkb964”]156-1 Celtics are frauds when pressure is put on them. They would have been toast if Luka was not stupid enough to foul himself out. Enjoy this ONE finals win. There will never be another with the Js and the Celtics cant afford stacked team.[/quote]
