Man gino time in the garden on a brisk early Winters night, with the Lakers in town. And lebron is on their team. Enjoy these moments people, they don't happen very often!

[greenroom31]

Tatum duh

Hope everyone who gave up on him after 10 games is still looking to trade him

[Bad-Thoma]

Obviously Tatum but the 3 headed defensive guard hydra of Marcus, Dennis, and Josh all came up huge on both sides of the ball. Good game from Al, good minutes from Grant as well.

[1st banana]

Went Tatum obviously he flat out dominated on both ends and attacked the basket relentlessly.

Whole team tho played great best game of the year clearly. Josh was great al was great smart and Dennis were great.

Killed them on the boards 51-33 let’s **** go just bitched the weaker team. **** the lakers and their whiny players.

[Jammer]

Did not think that the Celtics had enough to get it done without Brown and Rob Williams. But stellar guard play, which has been missing, along with an Explosion from Jayson Tatum, and steady Al Horford and Josh Richardson, carried the team tonight.

An alternative view:

Pts. + Rebounds + (0.5 x Assists) + Steals + (0.5 x Blocks) - Missed FGs - (0.5 x Missed Free Throws) - Turnovers - (0.5 x Fouls)

+37 Jayson Tatum (34 minutes) finally the Tatum that we were expecting showed up
+27 Marcus Smart (30 minutes) need a lot more IMPACTFUL games from Smart than team has been getting

+18 Dennis Schroder (34 minutes)
+17.5 Al Horford (32 minutes) steady Al

+11.5 Josh Richardson (29 minutes)

+6 Enes Kanter (16 minutes)
+6 Grant Williams (28 minutes)
+4 Payton Pritchard (9 minutes)

+3.5 Romeo Langford (22 minutes)
+1 Aaron Nesmith (4 minutes)
+1 Juancho Hernangomez (4 minutes)

Voted for Smart. Didn't think Celtics would get anything from him.

[Feed Your Head]

Tatum went full alpha, on both ends.

Smart was brilliant.

Schroder way more good than bad, especially the last three quarters.

J Rich is my new binky.

Read on Twitter

Tatum dominated his future team lol.

[Shak_Celts]

other east games aren't going well for us but at least we MOPPED LA! LBJ "trade all their asses!"

[playa-hater]

Smart played well but how is this not a clean sweep by Tatum??

[PierceFan4ever]

Forgive me for being harsh on you this season king

you trader!!

[The_Ghost_of_JB]

Tatum gets it no question but Horford smart and Schroeder were all great. What makes this more impressive is the Celtics didn't have Williams or Brown.

They look completely overmatched in the first quarter but the last three quarters were some of the best basketball I've seen in a while.

Los Angeles quite frankly looks their age and are going to struggle defensively. I'm not going to count them out but I can't help but wonder what they're going to look like after 70 more games of this.

[Ben-N1ce]

2 good games in Row for Tatum. He's really got to find a way to attack consistently so when shots aren't falling at least he can get some FT'S. Less fade aways two games in a row. Yay.

[playa-hater]

Now all we have to do is get revenge on OKC.. I remember!!

[Parliament10]

Always Nice to Beat LA.

[Feed Your Head]

Smart driving more and more to the rim, the results have been very good. He doesn’t need to drive to score, but it forces the defense the collapse.
