Celtics (43-22) vs Trail Blazers (30-37) – 3:30PM, Sun., Aug 2, 2020

[Ben-N1ce]

Defensive effort in the second half was abysmal.

Without kemba that was a strong fight back they adjusted appropriately and I am happy with the outcome.

Best game I've seen in... months! Since the Clips game I guess.

[ConstableGeneva]

We shot 55% from the field, 60% from three (18 makes), had 26 FTs made, and barely won. Winning in the NBA is hard.

Nice game BOS.

Huge fan of Smart, would love him next to DL.

See you next year and good luck in the PO!

That was way too close for comfort but super exciting. Really glad Tatum was back to Tatuming, and Jaylen is playing out of his mind. Great win.

I’ll take the W

[Red2]

Would have been a bad loss that’s for sure

[MagicBagley18]

Besides the obvious with Tatum and brown....Hayward and kemba both appear to be fine and look good. Kemba is especially important- looks like the burst is back and that’s great news.

Thanks, awesome comeback. Seems like our games with you are always close over the last few years

Tatum's handle is insane now. Jaylen's shot release is 1000x quicker than it was when he entered the league

[greenroom31]

Still getting our legs and rhythm back so any win is good. Great 1st half from Tatum and Hayward, better 4th quarter from Brown. Lillard is terrifying when he gets it going. Seems like he will make everything.

Think we lose this one. Given our stake in the Mem pick and the likelihood of facing Philly round 1, wouldnt be the worst thing IMO.

I now know what I have to do going forward. I hope none of yall take it personal.

[Curmudgeon]

I knew that Portland would come back. You could just feel it. But what irks me is that the refs tried to screw us again. That was not a backcourt violation. And the decision was not reviewable. This needs to be fixed by the league.

[Red2]

Marc Davis clearly has an ax to grind with the Celts

[SMTBSI]

Kind of worked out as they had a shot to tie if Nurkic doesn't throw it away.

But their shot to tie was going to be a harder shot than just taking a three out of the timeout in the first place?

They were obviously hoping we'd miss a free throw.

That doesn't change anything though. Even getting a two from full court with 2 seconds left is harder than getting a three out of a timeout with 6.4 seconds left. There's no scenario where I can see what they did making sense.
