1/11/2023 Celts host Bobcats

[128]

This feels like a game that's destined to be close in the final minute.

 

[128]

Meh, if Tatum had gone 2/5 from 3, and McCollum had merely gone 4/7, the C's would be up by 15, and the Pels would have 52 points. McCollum is single handedly keeping them in this game.

I agree. The C's defense has been bad. NOLA is extremely short-handed.

 

[Imbricus]

Damn, these guys like to launch threes. Tatum, Brown and Brogdon have all been driving well, so they don't need to shoot as many.

 

[Deathofthebambino]

White had a great start to the game, and a terrible start to the 2nd half.

 

[128]

C's dicking around.

 

[MyDaughterLovesTomGordon]

Tatum’s gonna get T’d up

[Imbricus]

Brogdon's always looking to drive. He's going to be such a weapon in the playoffs.

 

[Light-Tower-Power]

I agree. The C's defense has been bad. NOLA is extremely short-handed.

In fairness the Celtics are down their two best defensive guys, too.

 

[mikeot]

Very entertaining game.

 

[benhogan]

Tatum not running back on D has become a bad habit

 

[128]

Tatum not running back on D has become a bad habit

He doesn't seem fully locked-in tonite.

 

[RSN Diaspora]

That Jaylen fade away…

 

[128]

Jaylen is a grown man.

 

[dhellers]

When Jaylen's legs are healthy, he is an all NBA scorer tier.
George Gervin? Or Bernard King?

 

[benhogan]

Jaxson Hayes is a Center and

Jaylen's rag doll

 

[Imbricus]

Man, Jaylen has gotten so strong, and he's so much better at finishing.

 

[Light-Tower-Power]

That T is so lame.

 

[RSN Diaspora]

Not complaining, but that was a soft T

 

[oumbi]

Why did the refs call that T?

 

[dhellers]

Why did the refs call that T?

Grande sez you make a gun shape with your hand, auto T.

 

[Light-Tower-Power]

When Jaylen's legs are healthy, he is an all NBA scorer tier.
George Gervin? Or Bernard King?

All while struggling from deep on high volume.

 

[Deathofthebambino]

McCollum has been shooting great, but Jaylen has been the best player on the floor since the opening tip.

 

[JCizzle]

What a night from JB!

 

[shawnrbu]

Can’t believe the Garden floor has Milton Rents painted on it.

Red is still rolling in his grave. I guess he didn't need to pay $300M for Tatum though or whatever it will be!

 

[128]

Would be a tension-free fourth quarter be too much to ask for?

 

[Minneapolis Millers]

Just checking the box score. Should Brogdon be getting more run (especially with Smart out)?

 

[The Mort Report]

Tatum/Brogdon/White are insanely good together when penetrating

 

[MyDaughterLovesTomGordon]

Pritch WYD

 

[128]

Pritchard not covering himself in glory here.

 

[timelysarcasm]

c'mon PP.

 

[The Mort Report]

Just checking the box score. Should Brogdon be getting more run (especially with Smart out)?

He's much more of an injury risk than White. His body might not react well from going from 24 minutes a night to 32-34

 

[SteveF]

New Orleans is pretty fortunate this is still a game.

 

[mikeot]

PP’s rustiness is showing, should wear off the longer Smart is out.

 

[bgo544]

Yeah, PP not making a strong case for more minutes here...

 

[128]

Yeah, PP not making a strong case for more minutes here...

Yeah, if I'm Mazzulla, I'm not necessarily inclined to him a long look in Brooklyn tomorrow nite.

 

[bigq]

Yeah, if I'm Mazzulla, I'm not necessarily inclined to him a long look in Brooklyn tomorrow nite.

He will be okay to get a handful of minutes to close out a Celtics blow out win.

 

[benhogan]

I'd like Brown to get 40

seemed off last game

 

[Deathofthebambino]

I want to see Jaylen get his 40 on a cut and monster dunk.

 

[128]

This feels like a game that's destined to be close in the final minute.

Happy to be wrong, and happier still that the C's are the ones in control.

 

[Lazy vs Crazy]

Jaylen Brown's midrange shooting is my favorite thing.

 

[JCizzle]

31 just like that for JT. Dude is legit.

 

[Light-Tower-Power]

41 for Jaylen, 31 for Tatum.

 

[ifmanis5]

Dagger 3, ovah.

 

[Deathofthebambino]

72 from the studs. Not bad.

 

[mikeot]

C’est temps du garbage maintenant.

 

[128]

Dagger 3, ovah.

Even HRB would clear the bench here ...

 

[TripleOT]

CJ 38 points on 24 shots, minus 14
JB 41 points on 21 shots, plus 18
