Up 73-62 at HT after giving away a 20+ point lead.

Tatum 22 points in 17 minutes. P-Rabbit 16 points from the bench.

Bosoxfan5990 · 10-26-2024, 07:50 PM

This is what happens when you live and die by the 3. Only up 1 end 3.

Bosoxfan5990 · 10-26-2024, 08:30 PM

Kept it tight, but eeked out the win 124-118.

Tatum finishes 37/4/2. Jaylen with a 24/10/5 double-double. Pritchard with 19 off the bench.

3-0.

Nice win last night. I love how this team just turns it on in crunch time.

They would have lost last night's game in previous years.

Celtics play the Bucks tonight as almost double-digit favorites, which is wild considering the Bucks are supposed to be a legit contender (they're not). This is the second game in a row where their opponent is playing the 2nd half of a back-to-back.

Bosoxfan5990 · 10-28-2024, 09:07 PM

Another blowout win against an alleged Eastern Conference contender (119-108).

Tatum with a pedestrian 15/8/4 after struggling from 3 (1/8).

6 players in double-digits, including a 30/6/4 from Brown and 28/5/3 from Pritchard, who's been a real spark from the bench.

Torro · 10-29-2024, 04:36 AM

If Pritchard can keep up this production, he will have a case for 6th man.

2 wins over the contenders in the east (Knicks and Bucks), feels like Celtics is running over everyone if Tatum is in the zone, while with bad shooting day its just going to be more of a competition, but still a victory

Exactly. There are some ultra-sensitive Tatum fans on this board. He's a very good player on an incredible team.

If by very good, you mean All-NBA, then yes.

Im just wondering why people were not bringing it up when GSW won the first 3 chips and Curry was not the finals MVP in none of these runs. Not just 1 time but 3 times. Everyone kinda looked to find something negative to say about Tatum even when he won.

You must agree that people are rather trying to find something negative, rather than positive when it comes to Tatum (I'm sure many were happy that Brown won the Finals MVP only because that provided something negative to say about Tatum).

People hate a winner.

ECF re-match tonight at Indiana. Somehow only small favorites against a 1-3 team...

Nomad · 10-30-2024, 03:25 PM

I was a little surprised at the 6.5 spread myself. There are a few things going. 1) the 1-3 record actually masks really nice progression against the Magic last game. Even with Banchero going off for a record night, the Pacers pulled ahead from a 10 point deficit to an 8 point lead with 7 minutes left.

Yes, they did get slammed by the Nesmith foul-out + technical foul sequence with two minutes left, plus Nebihard and Hali doing their usual walk up the floor turnovers. But the refs were literally calling a foul every time Nesmith looked at Paolo wrong. I got to think they have been watching tape and working on that for 3 days straight.

Add to it that Math is basically super rested (ditto McConnell), IJax is raring to go, and Nesmith has his ex-team in the spotlights. Gainbridge gives Indy an advantage and they will be a lot more desperate than Boston. That said, if Pritchard and co. continue their lights out 3-point shooting and Hali can't find his stroke, the Pacers are toast.

Let's see more of this and less of that:

Nomad · 10-30-2024, 05:11 PM

Carslisle elucidates that Myles is out, Isaiah Jackson will start, Jarace Walker and Enrique Freeman should get substantial minutes.

blackbears86 · 10-30-2024, 08:42 PM

Tatum carrying the team in the 4th quarter. He's playing fantastic.

They lose by 3 in OT, but came back in the 4th after being down 21. Knew the line looked fishy.

Tatum with a 37/8/4 line, including the game-tying 3 to send it to OT.

Brown a dismal 1/11 from 3, including the miss on the potential game-tying attempt at the end of OT.

The road to 81-1 continues.

Nomad · 10-30-2024, 10:12 PM

How many games they have against the Pacers to make that a naw?

yes, they have to be very good to be all-NBA

Bosoxfan5990 · 11-01-2024, 03:04 PM

Celtics at Charlotte tonight. Double-digit favorites again.

Horford has already been ruled out for load management.

Bosoxfan5990 · 11-01-2024, 06:38 PM

Tatum with 16 in the 1Q.

Bosoxfan5990 · 11-01-2024, 08:34 PM

Celtics improve to 5-1. They really pulled away towards the end of the game.

Tatum 32/11/3. Jaylen with 25 points. This team is a force.

Bosoxfan5990 · 11-01-2024, 08:35 PM

They have a rematch in Charlotte tomorrow night.

Hey guys, Longtime lurker here on BO. Joining the party and with OP's permission, start posting a Tatum card (Or any Celtic from the current Championship team) after every win. Love this one from Noir!
