The Sam Hauser Show.

Gotta love how Pritchard keeps pushing the pace even in garbage time.

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

Cornbread Maxwell has a term for this type of game.

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

Bench is eating

 

[bankshot1]

This game did not smell like a 30 pt. ass kicking at the half

 

[RSN Diaspora]

Helllllooo home court throughout.

Top seed here we come.

Ain’t it grand?

 

[Light-Tower-Power]

Officially nothing to play for from here on out.

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

This season has been so fun. What a great run they are on. May it continue...

 

[TomRicardo]

I did like double big without Tatum as a rotation piece.

 

[Jed Zeppelin]

On some level they must want 66-16.

 

[benhogan]

Poor Gordon Hayward is washed.

cooked

that one fukn injury completely torpedoed his career

 

[Lose Remerswaal]

Oklahoma is NOT OK

Exactly. We can nitpick to the high heavens, but man first world problems when you look at their body of work. Just appreciate the greatness this year. The Nuggets whom the pundits give no shot against in the Finals, have 7 more losses and a point differential 7 ppg worse than the Celtics.

KP straight up glowing in the postgame chat with Abby.

Fans did not understand this wasn't just another white guy with an old-man game. Hayward's athleticism was a huge part of the package and playing without explosiveness just made him another guy out there.

Oklahoma is NOT OK

And Oklahoma being the youngest team in the league, The Kids Aren't OK (Alright), either.

He wasn’t Utah Hayward but he started out his second year post-injury pretty strongly before he got hurt again and then it was all over. Tough to watch him out there tonight. He looked positively crispy.

I mean they just stuck Pritch on him and didn’t think twice. It’s kind of sad.

DOwnside: C's crunch time stats did not improve 2nite.

 

[Euclis20]

Fans did not understand this wasn't just another white guy with an old-man game. Hayward's athleticism was a huge part of the package and playing without explosiveness just made him another guy out there.

Indeed. For Utah Hayward, 5.3% of his shot attempts were dunks (identical to JB's career rate). Boston Hayward, 4%. Charlotte Hayward, 3.4%. As noted above he was pretty good in 2020 but definitely wasn't the same guy and had some awful injury luck that really never left him for the rest of his career.

DOwnside: C's crunch time stats did not improve 2nite.

On the plus side, their lead in 4th quarter net rating will improve.

 

[HomeRunBaker]

Shades of the '85-86 group.

To add context. The 85-86 team had a total of 8 wins of greater than 20 pts…..

this team already has 16!

Sean Grande:

Cs have had 20 point leads in 18 of their last 22 games. That seems good.

Also:

131-98 with 1:20 left.​

The Boston Celtics taken another 30-point lead.​

2023-24 Celtics​

30-point leads: 17 ​

10 point deficits: 15​

Very good, but I prefer the final score.
