Celts Son The Suns! Victory Cigar vs PHO 3/26

Post #1 » by **bisme37** » Thu Mar 27, 2025 4:29 am

What the heck we won yet another big game this is getting ridiculous you guys like how?!?

Kristaps and Jaylen and Al and Derrick and Jrue and Sam and Baylor and take your pick because everyone killed it!

The Suns defense was abysmal and the Celts took full advantage, getting whatever they wanted all night, which involved draining hella 3's and dunking on they head and whatnot. It was a serious ass whooping lol. Yay!

Spurs Saturday, Go C's!

Fabulous team performance. KP for VC and Brown for CP. Honorable mention: Scheierman for his hit on Grayson Allen.

After each game he plays vs. the C's, KD likely spends an hour self-flagellating. He'll make a better decision next time.

Celtics have overtaken OKC for 2nd best road point differential in NBA history. Did it without Tillman too.

My votes went to C&C. But shoutout to Horford, Holiday, and White for the stability they provide.

Baylor keeps looking good every time he steps on the floor.

Lakers eek out a game against the Pacers, now they’re the greatest thing on earth again. I know this is about us winning, but they aren’t even showing anything about us in our game just finished!

I waited all night just to see BS go "White Chocolate" and it was well worth it.

Who needs Tatum??

C's have attempted 50+ threes in each of the last 4 games. Hit 40% on them. I hear less complaining about the volume when we make them.

Gotta fake it before you make it. :lol:

Really, if Jb wasnt so bad at shooting them, maybe our percentage would have changed minds on it earlier (jrue and Sam early too). Don’t bring down the percentage with anchors and people would have loved the shooting.

I would have gone with Celtics tear Phoenix 'asunder ' for OP title but I digress.

An extenely satisfying and dominant four quarter performance in which we never trailed once in the game. Jaylen and Zinger aka Cookies 'n' Cream get my votes.

Really really enjoyable and stress free game. More please

Posted on the general season thread how our 3-pt volume/attempt rate hasn't changed from pre-run to this current run we're having (22-4 now). We just happen to be making more threes. Sam getting his stroke back has helped boost our numbers. 7 guys in 40+% range during that span although 3 are low volume -- Peterson, Scheierman, and Craig. Tatum, Brown, and Holiday gotta make more moving forward (esp playoffs).

This is only the 20th time the Celtics have shot 50/40/90 as a team in a game in the Brad Stevens era (since 2013-14). They're undefeated in such games. 11 of these games have come since Mazzulla became coach.

I’m slighting JB a little and going with our starting bigs.

We can solve our apron issues by trading Tatum and then just playing the Suns every game.

Phoenix doesn't rise; in ashes?

Uh, no. Too soon for anything that might be misconstrued as a wildfire joke ...

The ball movement was great. I trust that more than hunting mismatches. There are moments when hunting makes sense but it makes more sense to be engaged as a collective.

The double big lines lookes good in clogging the paint but getting out to the 3 point and defending the 3

Playoff Al is rounding into form nicely, isn't he ?

People that want to save Porzingis to save a few bucks for the new owner, this is why you keep him.

Who smokes the big cigar?
