Suns (8-15) @ Celtics (19-4) – 1:00 PM, Sat, Dec. 2, 2017

Held Booker 32 points under his last Garden appearance. Why does it seem like he still got 50?

[Edug27]

Actually didn’t hate Smart today.

Team building. It’s a marathon not a sprint

Playing Rozier with under six minutes to go in a close game and leaving Irving on the bench isn’t team building.

That’s gambling.

I think this is what you use the regular season for. You need the role players to get in-game experience in crunch time. Never know who will have to step up later in the season/ post season.

This team knows exactly who it’s rotation players are. Rozier has been in the league for three years and has post-season experience.

Sitting Kyrie Irving while one of the worst teams in the league crawls back from a blowout to a one possession game isn’t smart.

If you have a sure win, you step on their necks and let the far end bench play the final minutes with the win already secured.

What Brad did was a gamble. It works sometimes, it didn’t today. Thankfully we still came away with the W.

I think the team record is distorting things... They haven't been a dominant team just yet. Our team still needs to scrap and play hard to win games. They've been down double digits many times this season despite the great record. They're still going to struggle even against teams with poor records.

Rather see them win than lose either way.

The advances stats bear this out.

Hell just by SRS the Cetlics are 4th behind the Warriors, Rockets, and Raptors.

[greenroom31]

Just another W

[Baller1234a]

W!

[pinoyceltic]

Yeah!

[ConstableGeneva]

20 wins! VC to Tatum.

Anyone else catch the long embrace between Kyrie and Chandler? Hopefully he told him he’s coming here after he’s bought out.

[KevinGamble34]

First team to 20 wins! Great all round game by the Celtics. 6 players in double figures, Horford with a double double - Baynes with +16.

15 games live for 15 wins baby!

Would rather have Monroe.

Another day, another lucky win by the Celtics.

Love listening to our opponents broadcast. All their commentators do is whine about how physical the Celtics play and cry about fouls. How about your team stops playing like creampuffs and scrap

OMG and between that and the 70 point game references non stop I seriously was about to lose it.

horrible to sit through

[bucknersrevenge]

Yeah, I'm out on Morris for the time being. Would rather Theis and Tatum take some of his minutes. He loses his man too easily. Man on man defense, he's good but in the Celtics quick switching defense, he is a step slow all the time.

I think anyone that watches knows their offense cannot be trusted and has been getting carried by the D the vast majority of the time.

Funky stat, but the Celtics have scored at least 108+ in 8 of their last 10 games, including today. Is the offense where we'd want it to be? PROBABLY not, but saying it can't be relied upon seems a bit of a stretch.

And of course, very close, but nice win.

If anybody grew up watching Cs during Bird era...... this game was an example of the classic kind where Cousy would say sometime during 3rd quarter..... “the Cs are going to win this one but they’re not making it easy on themselves....”

Outcome was never in doubt but they should have run away with this one
