Abracadabra We Won! Victory Cigar vs ORL 11/9

[Celts17Pride]

Walsh did his THANG!! He was doing some of everything low key. He had played good minutes in all 3 of these games and Joe keeps rewarding him. Thanks Walshy and Joe!!


Best night for Garza, we lose without his contribution! He was on his “STHU SHAK!!” Wonderful!!

We also fall into the pits of despair without that FLAMES OF THE ANFERNO in the first half. Literally would not have been in this game without that huge burst! He did what needed to be done!! (I already told you, people who go off in the first half don’t usually do it in the 2nd. Defense changes for you and you are likely tired.)


Wasn’t a fan of JB’s night, he did some things okay but had a very selfish night imo. Just didn’t look like he cared to have help, he wanted to win it himself, causing us to fall behind.

White had A couplewonderful moments, we needed every bit of it!! MORE PLEASE!! Huge 3!!! Usually a big 4th Q assassin!

I thought Hugo was underrated and very key too. Deflections, steals, defense, and a BIG 3!! He’s very active. (Needs more rebounds and don’t be so afraid on offense)


WINNER WINNER MAGE FOR DINNER!!!

Brown’s quick pass out of the double team lead to the DWhite 3 ball and Brown’s drive and kick out lead to the Walsh 3 ball. Brown also hit the late 3 ball.

Suggs flopped on the offensive foul call and got it. The refs call on Simons offensive foul on another Suggs flop is an embarrassment.

Not Brown’s best game but he did what he had to do to get a win

There are games this season, where we lose and I'm fine with it because it improves our chances of landed a top 6-12 pick. But on nights like this, I wanted this win bad for guys like Garza, Walsh, Hugo, White, Brown, Simons and the entire team because they played hard and they played really well.

[Celts17Pride]

Refs should be embarrassed on the Simons wicked shoulder rise that almost killed Suggs. That one inch that Simons raised up could have killed someone.

NBA refs are an embarrassment

[redslastlaugh]

They've put in the work
&
They've been hearing the doubters saying they're not players and they might as well just pack it up and give up on the season
&
They reached down and no matter whoever said IT WASN'T GOING TO HAPPEN they came out to play tonight
&
showed their Celtic Pride and got the win!

Proud of the boys!

Voted Walsh and Garza
Great win, amazing job by the bench
The Pats game was the big one, but finishing it off with a Boston double-dip in FL made for a great sporting day!

[31to6]

the defense the Celtics wings can play is really impressive
Cs were even on the glass, only 14 TO and only put up 33 3s tonight; didn't get outshot at the FT line either
Jaylen really force some fadeaways against Wagner -- hope he's receptive to film-based critique on those possessions
Psyched for Walsh to hit that dagger 3 -- maybe it turns out to be the high point of his Celtics career, but maybe not

[MaxwellSmart]

Eddie House was correct in the post game show...Orlando like to act like tough guys all game, then they FLOP on all of the plays to try and get calls....It's total BS.....But we won so I'm happy.

[tfribs45]

Complete team win, Simon’s was fire, Garza and Walsh solid moments , Hugo was pesky and hit a key three. Just a real strong team win. Sorry tank mafia lol

[Fierce1]

This is not even the Celtics we'll be seeing in a couple of months.

I'm sure we'll be seeing more wins like this.

[Fierce1]

BTW, no mention of Joe not calling a timeout in the last 32 seconds and the Cs only leading by 2?

Joe trusted the players and the players came through.

Credit JB for not forcing the shot and passing to an open teammate.

Great execution in the last 32 seconds, even without a timeout.

[bfchs123]

Kind of intrigued to see what the defensive lineup Joe had in at the end could do. Decent amount of scoring too with JB and White

White
Minott
Hugo
JB
Walsh

[VeryMuchWoke]

Simons is very explosive but not a good fit.

Give him another 20 games....I'm not saying he'll figure it out, but he may.

[ThePigeon]

Great win! Beat these punks
Finally got a different lineup to end the game, one that hustles on defense
Great game by Garza and Walsh
Hugo did his damage
Anferno with the scoring burst

And again - Hauser with a bad game, Minott didn't play well and Boucher DNP, Baylor DNP and Hugo with only 12 minutes.

[Fierce1]

Simons is very explosive but not a good fit.

Give him another 20 games....I'm not saying he'll figure it out, but he may.

He's just too small.

I'd rather Brad trades him for Grayson Allen and Nick Richards.

That way the Cs get a veteran SG, a decent Center, and save money as well.

[djFan71]

Walsh and Simons. Can’t take Walsh off the floor lately. Simon’s obviously hit his looks, but I also really liked his passing tonight. Garza came up big as well. Joe is doing a nice job riding the bench players when they’re playing well, and sitting other guys. Fun game.

PP is also too small but he is a player
Simons can be useful but not at the current price

Grayson is not a PG. I think that Brad will just dump him for a two-way to cut budget. He will elevate one of the two ways or get another minimum contract player

That's why I said until Brad resolves the Tatum and Simons situation, I can't give a definitive answer on what direction the Cs are headed.

If Tatum doesn't return and Simons is not traded then tanking in the last 30 games should be an option.

This win against this big Orlando Magic team is impressive.

It's really very encouraging seeing the Cs win because of defense and hustle.

Last year's Cs were looking old.

Cs even only attempted 33 3s in this game.

The Cs are evolving.

Should just do what the Pacers are doing and full on tank resting Siakam and such but we insist on being middle of the pack, the absolute worst place to be in the NBA, just DUMB.

It's true the Pacers are starting to tank.

Maybe that's why the Pacers have ZERO championships and the Celtics have 18 chips.

Sixers have been tanking since 2013 and how many finals appearance do they have to show for?

Point is tanking is loser's mentality.

Why would you tank this early when you have an All-NBA player in Jaylen Brown and surrounded by the likes of White and PP.

I understand tanking when you're best player is Jeff Green and 2nd best player is Avery Bradley.

If the Celtic ownership and management were planning on tanking or rebuilding then they would have traded Derrick White and Jaylen Brown last summer.

What the Celtics are doing now is not dumb, it's Celtic Pride!

swap him into the starting lineup then you'll see his true value, no way PP should be starting over him right now. PP and White has not worked out well....
