JT punching Brown in the chest repeatedly after the game winner while Brown is like, "be cool, bro" is one of my favorite moments of the year.

A healthy Celtics team would run through the east.

I went with Brown for the winner and also for helping the Celtics build up that lead in the 2nd quarter. But I want to give shout outs to Larkin for being good all night and helping the Celtics stay in the game when Rozier was stinking up the joint. Rozier for turning it around in the 4th quarter and hitting some really clutch 3s. Nader for keeping Mitchell quite in the first half. That was the best defense I have seen him play in a Celtics jersey. And Brad Stevens for giving these kids a never give up attitude.

Brown was great, but I have to give this cigar to Barry Larkin’s kid.

Tatum with everything big at the end of the game. A player getting 1 steal, block and 3pointer is big. He had two of each.

Monroe, a tad awkward, but 4 steals and 4 assists. Extra important with Tito's son not playing.

Larkin, +25 and 9 rebounds, and in the first quarter thought he could shoot over Gobert. Ojeleye had an offensive explosion, and Rozier did late in the game, and Baynes was 6 of 8 with plenty of medium-range shots.

Xavier Silas, he never loses as a Celtic.

Brown with the big shot, obviously, and he used his height during the game tos core over Mitchell Donovan. Nader, not terrible.


As usual, terrible commentators. Laughing at Tatum, saying he had no chance at the worthless NBA Rookie of the Year award, as Simmons and Mitchell Donovan were so good.

This Mitchell, 7 of 20. 4 turnovers. B Simmons, 1 of 4 free throws in the 76ers win, a struggle to beat the injured Knicks.


Memphis won? MarShon Brooks plus Dillon Brooks equals many Brooks and a lot of points.

I truly believe Brad Stevens could have a winning record in this league with his Butler Bulldogs.

VC to Jaylen.


This must be a league record or something, man. People kept saying the Celtics are lucky when they kept winning games like these. It doesn't look like it is luck anymore. These guys play hard and never give up. They remind me of that 2011 Uconn team that won the NCAA title.

Reminds me of Stevens' Butler teams.

Best win of the season? I didnt even watch it yet but HOW. HOW DO WE DO IT???? I’ve never seen anything like this tbh winning all these games with significant injuries to our best players. I keep saying every other win is the best win of the season because this is **** incredible and it should not happen yet we keep winning.

Can’t wait to watch this win when I get home. I’m sure I’m gonna be hard watching this from start to finish.

**** love this team

So Brown and Mitchell scored the same amount of points, only Mitchell played ten more minutes and took TWICE as many shots. Mitchell was a steal in the draft, don't get me wrong he'll be an all star. But the guy is a volume shooter who's been playing forty minutes a night.

Fencer reregistered wrote:Three candidates:

-- Brown for the scoring and that final shot.
-- Larkin for the ridiculous +/- and team-high rebounding.
-- Whoever at Utah had the "bright" idea to dribble the air out of the ball and not get a shot up until less than 24 seconds remained.

Or we could just give it to my wife. After ~20 years of living together and feeling married, we finally got legally married today. Only she was so excited she couldn't sleep the night before, and hence so exhausted that we moved the wedding night to the afternoon, and I was left alone with her back in bed sleeping to watch the end of the game. :)


Congrats Fencer.
Now your 8 children are no longer illegitimate. JOKING.
