82 points in a half without Tatum? Trade that bum's ass for a 2nd round pick already.

That 2nd quarter was a massacre. Anferno was the firestarter, then everyone else just caught fire.

My boy Jaylen with 29 points in the half. It would be fun to watch him gun for 50 again, but with the way the Hawks are playing, he might get benched midway through the 3rd if our barrage keeps up.

I don’t think the game will be close enough for him to play enough, but who knows

Yeah I'm feelin this comment. Don't love him as a starter but the way he can heat up coming off the bench and play solid D at the other end makes this a difficult job for Brad here.We obviously have too many wing but knowing that one of them can get THIS hot makes it hard to just say trade him.

I watch these things, not only has Hauser been on fire but he has been playing tremendous defense on Jalen Johnson the first half as the primary defender on him.

What is the Celtic player record for threes in a game? Maybe Sam has a shot.

Not a single one of our guys has been subpar tonight. Everyone has played well. Great team effort.

Hauser doing more than holding his ground on Jalen Johnson. Johnson is 1 for 6 for 4 points. He does have 5 rebounds and 4 assists. Great job by Sam

It seems so crazy that Marcus has that record, considering that we had Ray Allen on the team. This is definitely within reach for Sam.

Pretty obvious that Tatum can't wait to get out on the floor with a lineup of DWhite, Simons, Hauser, and Garza to absolutely shoot the **** out of the ball.

Joe needs his props. He's done a hell of a job this year.
