The Jays are the best duo in the league. Crazy too they missed some really clean looks could’ve easily been 45/45.
Nice cruise control win, Jays did their part.. Timelord looked absolutely immense, beast mode activated!
REALLY wanted to see that 40-40 game. And to think that the Jays may still be ascending. Super fun time to be a Celtic fan. So much to look forward to.
Imagine if they made a new NBA Jam game. The Jays duo would be cracked fr
#GIVE
Good win boys, we onto the clippers
The fact that we have 2 first options that can easily drop 30+, hell even 40+, every night is so unfair and I love it
Looked like they maybe were gonna play to the competition at first but then they started looking like their peak selves, best Rob game of the year, Jays went crazy, that was fun to watch
Celtics = Balls
TATUM AND BROWN BEST DUOOO
Most points in a 6 game stretch of Tatums career
Jaylen a world class bucket getter
Rob is back, and still an all-star caliber player
Finish this homestand strong on Thursday
Rob is a game changer. Can’t wait when he plays 30+ minutes with the Jays.
Rob is coming into form. His impact is ridiculous
38 and 39 is pretty good
Another solid win:
– Js go off with 38 and 39.
– Timelord completely changing our game with the boards
– Grant hit those b2b 3s put this game away
– White and Smart doing their things
– Justin Jackson makes a 3
EDIT: How could I forget Brogdon, team high 8 assists!
We made so many dunks this game. I like it.
The Lord of Time has returned.
Please sign the jays up for the next 10 years
Just remember this:
* Brown got 39 points
* Tatum got 38 points
They gave the player of the game to Rob Williams, and that’s not really so controversial.
How good is this team ?
Now imagine if Hauser wasn’t having his little slump.
No 40/40 for the Jays, but a clean win is a clean win. Good teams beat the teams they’re supposed to beat. Head into this Clippers matchup with this same mentality and we can win easily
this is becoming the norm for JT & JB and it’s DAMN GOOD to watch man
The C’s were settling for way too many 3’s early, but they turned it up just enough starting in the middle of the 3rd to get the win. If I had anything to complain about beyond the early 3’s it’d just be that it’s too bad we didn’t get to see Tatum(38 points) and Brown(39) both go for 40+ points. As for some other quick thoughts…
-Despite r/NBA’s assumptions, turns out that the Celtics knew what they were doing with Rob’s knee. He looks no worse for wear out there aside from sometimes looking gassed as he continues to improve his conditioning, but tonight he looked great on both sides and also had his first double-double of the season with 11 points and 15 boards
-Grant with a somewhat quiet night statistically, but he finished a +16 and he earned it. Thought he also played well on both ends tonight
-Brogdon with season high 8 assists. I thought he struggled a bit in the 1st half, but looked a lot better in the 2nd half
Rob as always been a stat sheet stuffer. The stuff he does on the minutes he gets has been insane ever since his first year. Seeing him do that after surgery and a lot of recovery is a great sign.
Tatum’s windmill dunk when all alone in the front court was delicious basketball viewing
One thing is for sure..Rob Williams should be starting
Keys on the game: You know your team is bad when Justin Jackson hits a three on you. Lol
I’m gonna cry, Rob came back and he’s everything I dreamed he could be for this team and more. All those dumb motherfuckers on r/nba who said the offense would get worse with him back better get ready lol its only just begun
