Nice win! Love JB starting to round into that All-NBA form after the injury early in the season. Getting better game by game. 7 three's today!

Beauties!

A win is a win. Quick turnaround tomorrow night against the Clippers.

Crazy beginning of the game, JB hitting 5 straight 3 pointers in a row, all 15 points in the first 5min or so from him, thats something Ive never seen before.

Its awesome to see that Celtics are able to get wins in those close games, in the past years they were not as reliable and consistent as they are now!

Agreed. They would find ways to lose many of these games that come down to the wire.

Hopefully fully recovered. I remember initial reports mentioned end of December, so it's good news he's ahead of schedule.

What a fun game! So many good things happened but tonight it's all about this guy. So good to have Porzingis back!

Its awesome to see the Latvian unicorn back in action! I just hope it did not rush with the recovery and actually is 100%. We can win the regular season games anyway, the playoffs are when we actually really need him.

[Bosoxfan5990]

Win by 30+ with Porzingis back is a fun game. Not player scored more than 20 (Tatum & P-Rabbit), with 6 players in double digits.

[Bosoxfan5990]

Celtics at Chicago tonight as double-digit favorites.

Need some help from Cleveland beating Atlanta so the Celtics can win their Group for the Cup if they beat Chicago tonight.

35/14/5 on 12-18 FG% for Tatum & Brown adding 21pts including that NASTY poster dunk on Jalen Smith. JB adding another body to his poster list.

And can we just give Payton Pritchard the 6th man of the year already?!?! Man was ON FIRE in the 4th finishing with 29 pts & 7-11 from downtown.

Nope! 9/75. So close!

[Bosoxfan5990]

Going to need some help to make it to Vegas.

Huge game against Cleveland tomorrow night. Early opportunity to take back the 1 seed.

Dang. Yes! I think the picture played tricks on my eyes wishful thinking for you!

[Bosoxfan5990]

Big matchup today for ECF seeding. If the Celtics win today, they'll have a nice H2H buffer on Cleveland.

[Bosoxfan5990]

Jaylen Brown & Derrick White out.

Are they healthy scratches? If so that's ridiculous. The potential to go up 2-0 on Cleveland, which could mean something come playoff time.

Jaylen was sick and DWhite tweaked something last game.

[Bosoxfan5990]

Disappointing loss, considering they were up 12 after the 3rd. Spida went HAM in the 4th. Have to tip your cap to him and look toward the quick turnaround against Miami tomorrow night.

D-White out with a foot sprain he suffered in the last game (Didn't play the 2nd half) While JB out with an illness. Cavs barely won without both guys. We're good.

Yeah. Crazy shot making by Mitchell. Our offense got stagnant in the 4th. Ball didn't go around as much, 1 pass then shot goes up or straight-up 1 on 1 plays.

Can't believe Pritchard almost pulled off the on-purpose miss from the FT line.

Tatum missed a couple chippies late too

[Bosoxfan5990]

Porzingis, Jrue, Horford, Hauser out, but they still should make quick work of Miami.

Always sweet beating the Heat. JB leads all scorers with 29 and got to rest the whole 4th. Kornet with 6 blocks! Pritchard with 21 off the bench and i'm loving DWhite's new "pocket full of three's" celebration.
