Moose is such a key piece of this team. The Tatum and Smart PnR with him will solve world hunger.
The Derrick White game
40 before 20. We’re Phil Jackson’s title favorite
**Game Recap**
*The Celtics turned into the 2019 Warriors*
Tatum = KD
Buffalo = Steph
Hauser = Klay
Moose = Cousins
Blake = Jerebko
BUFFAFUCKINGLO
This is going to be remembered as the Moose Welcome and Buffalo Anniversary game.
Derrick white game.
I hate listening to Doris Burke talk about Golden State.
Where were you when Derrick White turned into Steph Curry
40 before 20
Tatum needs rest, please.
Officially the first of 4 potential contenders.
White with the game of the year and Tatum still out scores him 🙂
Fuck Steve Clifford and the Hornets. Just made the last 4 minutes of that game painful and slow for zero reason
Buffalo did work tonight.
I love him.
I still love seeing rozzay hit shots.
Goat banter between Tatum and White
JT and DWhite went 25/40 FG for 74 pts lmao
Muscala fit in nicely
Hauser remains back
Keep it rollin
Damn Buffalo 🦬 33pts-10ast!!! That’s a super start stat line!
In another universe, we could have kept Hayward (if he was healthy) and Terry with our current young core
Charlotte played well in the 2nd half, if the C’s don’t have a historic three point shooting night that could’ve gotten really weird…
Well, it wasn’t the blowout I was expecting up 28 in the 3rd, and it wasn’t great to see the Celtics keep on turning it over, but down Brown, Smart and Horford any win is a good win at the end of the day. And despite all of that bad stuff there was plenty of good too, such as…
-The Moose with a 12 point, 4/8 from 3 debut
-White going 8/14 from 3 for 33 points to go with 9 assists and 3 blocks. He was doing a bit of everything all game long
-Tatum with a very casual 41/4/4 and it didn’t even feel like he was even close to going all out in this one. He’s also now shooting 41% from 3 over his last 16 games as well EDIT: Tatum had 41, my bad
-Rob with 16 boards in just 27 minutes
-Hauser going 4/9 from deep, and is now shooting 46.5% from 3 since the 2 straight DNPs
For those who were waiting for this: the Celtics have hit Phil Jackson’s contender definition of 40 wins before 20 losses.
Sad that we let them get back in the game, but happy that Tatum got his 40 piece and Derrick got his 30 piece. The moose is legit.
Where were u during the Derrick White game
Brad stevens is a fucking genius, no way around it
Low key Sam Houser +21 in this one. My man is gaining some serious confidence
Celtics very good. Buffalo + Moose = Green Stampede. Tatum 41 on 20, witness Him. Hornets are mediocre and flashy at best. We stopped giving a fuck about halfway through the third.
40 before 20!
Tatum with the casual 41
Jesus disguised as Derrick White tonight
Also Muscala should lean into the Moose nickname and put up 3 finger antlers as a celebration
Having Scal and Cedric Maxwell call the game just feels like you’re watching with some friends. They were a lot of fun
its like tatum just decided “no more,” flipped a switch, and single-handedly stopped charlotte at the end. king shit
The Buffalo needed another member of the herd to join the team to finally achieve his ultimate form
fake hayward >>>> hayward
Treat moose well ;(
Joe’s also being tough on Abby Chin
Great game. So many people were losing their shit cause we didn’t maintain a 24 point lead. But these players are people who need a game where they lax a bit. It was still an easy win and they don’t need to be diving for balls and sprinting on every single play for an easy February game. Good win
I love this fucking team.
Inserting Muscala into a fully healthy lineup gives us much better continuity on the bench. He plays a lot like Horford.
This team is so scarily deep. Even with 3 starters out they still drop 120 pts
Nice win tonight boys
I’m so happy Mike played well in his debut. He’s a perfect fit for you guys. Take care of Moose, we OKC fans fucking love him
