Char on Sunday. they are in 4th place. 1 game or so ahead of us.

This is a playoff game as far as I am concerned.

Very weird game. We see a lot of ball movement but Tatum and Brown has only 2 assists combined with Jatum at 0.

Good job today by the players defying Stevens' preference of iso-ball. Hope they never listen to him again.

When you put up stat line only 3 other centers in history have done by scoring 20 points and having 8 assists without missing I’m gonna vote for you

BTW, passing can actually be contagious.

For me most of the game it was Smart moving the ball and D-ing up, setting the tone, and right there with him Rob for the same reason. I had to give it to Fournier though for popping the cork, welcome to Boston (finally)!

Voted Fournier to help welcome him to BOSCON. Great to see.

Rob Williams owns these 6’5” Rockets!

Kudos to Smart as well tonight.

Tatum and Brown put up #s but as I posted in the GT tonight was the night where the reality suddenly clicked for me that “damn, these guys must be awful to play with!” I know others have been posting that all season, and Gorman and other media members have talked about it, but after years of wanting us to fully “give them the keys” now I have to admit they weren’t ready. “Growing up” in a winning tradition early in your career means nothing when it’s all about FGA and your branding and you you you.

Case in point: I am CERTAIN that JT and JB will play poorly on Sunday. We will lose to a wounded CHA team at home, and they’ll probably struggle for most of the next week because after tonight’s W (which Rob and Fournier actually brought home) JT and/or JB are probably going to stay up most of the night watching their own highlights on YouTube.

Or, maybe Romeo will save us. Could happen :)

Timelord is simply amazing when he’s engaged like this...

Smart had a great game and good to see Fournier get a feed. Hopefully he can feel settled now.

Ball Movement needs to be the Celtics identity on offense. Keep playing this way the offense will be tough to guard.

Step 2, now work on the defense

Smart/Rob/Kemba did an excellent job of setting up the Jays and Fournier. Tatum and Brown had solid number and they didn’t need to create all the time.

This was my favorite game by Smart all season. I think I'm his only vote at the moment. He was a leader and set the tone on both ends. Loved the game by Rob of course; his finishing was exceptional. He needs to be the starter.

Now everyone is going crazy for RW, when I have been screaming him since Mid-last season and all playoffs. Reason #283 why I hate Stevens, It took a D Theis trade and a TT ghosting to get RW the starting spot.

But someone yelled "Stevens sees him everyday in practice" :-?

Meanwhile I have stated in the RW thread RW does have a top 5 ceiling as a center. Not saying he will get there, but how the hell people can argue that now?

Super athletic, high energy, always plays hard, doesn't need touches, plays his role skill level very efficiently and now the latest, has great passing skills.

Easy Top 5 center potential and our center for now and the future....

7:1 assist/TO ratio is decent.
