Eh, I'd be perfectly happy with an 18 point win.

Smart handling the ball = the offense grinding to a halt. That stretch at the beginning of the second was bad.

To be clear (if it wasn't), IT4 doesn't win games by himself! Our team play and hustle wins games! We may not have top-tier talents but our guys are talented! Stop being extreme!

264 minutes between now and the end of the regular season (disregarding potential OTs).

i say we let him play every single one - only way to get him integrated and up-to-speed in time for the playoffs.

The Celtics need to stop messing around and put these guys around. If you let them hang around, they'll beat you like last time.

Rozier's 4 points in first half was more than the rest of our bench put together. Good for him. Not so good for the rest.

LA on a 17 19-2 run spanning the quarters. That's... not good.

I've seen over the years that it's hard for some fans of teams to give credit to player A without sh-tting all over the other players in the discussion.

There have been times where Isiah wasn't playing so well and the team was still in position to win games; the first half of the Golden State game is an example.

We're obviously better when he's on his game; the second half of the Golden State game is an example. He's obviously a key player and very valuable player to the team, but hopefully that point can be made without sounding ridiculous against other players who clearly do have talent that contributes.

Feels like the Celtics think they just needed to play 24 minutes and the win was their's. No hustle and getting beat all over right now.
