Funnest game of the year? It had everything!
Best offense in the league continues to dominate
JT 30 and JB 20 just feels automatic now, but daddy Al coming up with a superb performance.. comfortable win against an elite team!
Batman > Joker
#GIVE
this offense is fuckin ridiculous
Piling up the good wins
Jays best duo on the planet
Al Horford, still that guy
Welcome back, Payton
Keep it rollin tomorrow
So nice to see PP get some quality minutes and make some awesome plays. Really happy that the garden showed him some love
Bruce Brown is a bitch lmao
We continue to clown teams with that inbound move š
Good W.
Jayson Tatum is a lock for MVP. You can’t tell me otherwise.
GINO TIME ONCE AGAIN
Thatās Dennis Rodman disguised as Payton Pritchard.
Bro this team is really good.
I can smell a whole new era of ā4th quarter Celticsā coming and Iām here for it.
God I forgot how much fun PP is to watch when heās cooking
Letās run it back tomorrow!
Gino for the 9-3 Celtics! Loving this start.
Has anyone successfully hit a 3 when Kornet does “The Eclipse” in the paint?
Tatum might be a top 5 player I fear
If someone told me last season we’d win a game by 19 points and score 131 points, I woulda called 911 for that guy, cause he’d be batshit insane.
Now, it’s just an average game.
Gimme some of that JDD action baby
I was worried about our rebounding to start the season without Timelord, but I think we found our solution with Pritchard
jaylen with the 25/8/8 tatum with an efficient 34 while shooting 11 fts
8 points, 7 rebounds, 1 assist and a block in 12 minutes.
Iāll take that Luke Kornet
Jayson Tatum playing like the super star we all knew he always was š„ŗ
Great performance by PP, stepping in and making tons of hustle and grit plays.
This team is on another level offensively right now, we’ll keep chugging along and being in the mix to get the #1 seed.
JD was in there for less than 2 minutes and looked amazing
Donāt gimme that fucking 57 win projection.
FOH WITH THAT SHIT
Joe has a great feel for who should be in the game.
No Brogdon No problem
PP! Nuff said
Hot dawn facilitator Jaylen is top 10. If he can sustain this level of play then he’s an all nba lock
Our defense isn’t what it used to be but I feel like we game plan well. Jokic had a super efficient game but only 3 assists. Guard him straight up. We will take that 30 piece
Hauser missed the shot, but that pass where JD Davison whipped the ball from the baseline to Hauser on the wing was crazy. High, high difficulty.
I NEED and I WANT more PP
Not defensively, but the Celtics are starting to feel like last years second half team again. In the sense that when they “turn it on” they just go scorched earth and separate from other teams.
Hauser is a real asset to the rotation, and we’re still down a starter and pseudo sixth starter in Brogdon. Tatum has entered ‘prime Tatum’ status. Completely different guy from past years.
JB 8 assists damn
There is not a single thing weāve been doing that isnāt repeatable.
Drive, create good shots. Move the ball at a high level. Play consistently smart defense.
We can continue to win like this against any team.
This team is scary good
JT might actually win MVP this year. Unreal.
Other than that, West coast is soft af. Just destroyed one of their elite teams without timelord or Brogdon.
Great game. Finally seeing Jaylen brown passing the ball much better. Could have easily had triple double tonight.
His awareness was great.
Tatum playing like a superstar
Tatum once again demonstrated his elite killer instinct. Great team win.
Itās nice seeing Al with a big offensive game
The Howitzer was running low on munitions tonight, but thankfully, the rest of the team was running on all cylinders. Great first half from Pritchard!
Nuggs fan here. Heck of a team you got there. Good luck the rest of the way.
I enjoyed Davison getting some time tonight. He looks engaged and ready for garbage time, and you could see the effort when he got the chance. Good on him!
