Based on watching the highlights Jaylen Brown, and Jayson Tatum played very well. Jaylen Brown is clutch. Great team Win.

I believe, but I still can't believe how we're doing this. Road trip sweep! Best road record since 2008 -- 28-10 with 3 games to go. We stole two games against the hottest teams in the league the past week while missing so many key players. Our final possession had Larkin as our "seasoned vet" ffs.

I like how our guys are playing pissed that people (including some of our own fans) have already counted them out this season. We'll see but gotta love the fight and grit in these guys.

Shane Larkin is a lion!!! This team is unbelievable. Damn without Horford.

Joy to watch, all heart and fight.

We're off to Boston. We just need this 1 vs Toronto. Then we can I guess rest guys cause we're 1 or 2 wins away from clinching #2.
Good assessment:

I knew that before the season even started. LeBron as good as he is, is also one of the luckiest superstars I've seen.

So does the steel tariff apply to the Celtics balls?

Details? That was one hell of a first live game, lol.


was a blast. had pretty good seats. there were a few Cs fans there which was cool. It was a thing of beauty when the crowd went silent after tatums dunk tied it at 94 and you could hear Cs fans going crazy.

Mitchell is quick, but looked gassed in the 4th. Gobert is tall. Exum looked really really good in the few minutes he played.

Semi flashed his Abs once as he was adjusting uni and the woman next to me was very impressed.

Tatum and Brown are going to be studs in this league, but I was really impressed with Larkin's ability to turn up the intensity at the end of the game. His hard drive on that last play set up everything.

Great game, glad the boys pulled it out.

Jaylen Smokes it.

A lasting impression, and I guess I'm dating myself now, was watching Lennox Lewis play in a high school tournament when I was at University of Waterloo. Talk about a man among boys!

This team is out here breaking hearts, ruining rebuilds.

I had to go take a peek at the Jazz board and some of their fans don't even want to make the 8 seed any more! The JV C's made them throw the toys out of the cot. Coach Quin and The Volume Shooter have turned into pumpkins if you ask them this morning!

Brad is the best coach in the league, and that includes Pop. Brad is better right now.

What a game I'm still reeling. Still exhausted because sleep doesn't come naturally after something like that.

Downtown Jaylen Brown and Tatum carrying this team is beautiful.

Brown gets the stogie

Man I fell asleep after the 1st quarter. After our hot start (12 points in 3 minutes) I think we only scored 6 over the final 9 minutes of the quarter. Woke up at half time, didn't even check the score, figured it wasn't worth watching our backups get their brains beat in. :o I never regret sleeping but damn what a win. Brown, Tatum, Rozier are freaking legit! Brad is a god. All hail the great Bradley Stevens :bowdown:

Went to Vegas after the Portland game and have a bunch to catch up on. Finished SAC last night, sounds like this one is going to be a lot more fun!

I forgot to add this last night. I thought Monroe was HORRIBLE the entire game UNTIL the end. I thought he really took Gobert out of it a few possessions and he made him work (made a late bucket we needed too). Rozier was tragic and it hurt us so much you could see it the whole time but it magnified how much he was hurting us when he went totally opposite and produced in the 4th. We need Rozier to be productive! Thank you for brushing off a miserable game you two, we NEEDED every bit of what you gave in that 4th! RESILIENCY!

Toss up between Larkin and Brown. Monroe was pretty underwhelming on offensive end but surprisingly good on defense. Larkin resurrecting his NBA career under Brad.

Monroe had a lot of missed opportunities at the rim, and he really needs to finish stronger, but he had 4 straight points when we were down by 6 points with just over 2 minutes to go in the game. He got a lay in down low and then hit two clutch free throws. We then tied it up on Tatum’s dunk.
