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.

That’s a monster!

The Celtics will be keeping their eyes on the Orlando/New York and Milwaukee/Detroit matchups tonight.

In order to advance to the KO round of the NBA Cup, they need Orlando to win and the winner of the Milwaukee/Detroit game to win by 6 or more.

Very unfortunate for Celtics, the first team out of the cup. The first cup game against Hawks decided it, as the win against Celtics gave Hawks the top spot in the group with same record while Celtics had better scoring +/-, but there was still wild card option if Knicks lost (or won with +33 points)

Yeah Knicks really did them no favors in the 4th there.

Back in the saddle tonight for a home game against Detroit. Double-digit favorites with Detroit on the 2nd half of a back-to-back after the beating they took against Milwaukee last night.

No Tatum, no Jrue, no problem.

You have some great Celtics cards!

[Bosoxfan5990]

Big game at home against Milwaukee tonight.

1st half of a back-to-back as they also play Memphis tomorrow night at home.

[Ismael80]

What a great game last night. The playoff atmosphere, the chippiness, back & forth game and the big shots. A ridiculously good all around Tatum game last night. He was the the best player on the floor last night.

And big shoutout to Jrue man. So many winning plays, big 3's, the dagger and clutch free throws. So glad he's wearing Celtic green.

[Bosoxfan5990]

Beautiful Jrue! He had that big shot at the end of the shot clock to put them up 5 and basically seal the game for them.

[Bosoxfan5990]

Hopefully Marcus Smart actually plays tonight as he didn't play in last year's game in Boston.

[Torro]

Another monster game from Tatum against hot Giannis and Bucks!

Tough loss on a second night of a back to back. That Ja dunk was Vince carter-esqe.

Shout-out to Marcus Smart getting to play tonight. Forever a Celtic.

[Bosoxfan5990]

Agreed! Can't win 'em all.

I was just thinking where the Smart cards were in this thread. Like how it's turned into a showcase for any and all Celtics player. Tatum is a sharer.

[Bosoxfan5990]

No game for the Celtics until Thursday with some Cup action taking place.

[Bosoxfan5990]

Double-digit favorites against Detroit tonight. Tatum and Hauser already ruled out.

Hopefully nothing serious for Tatum, as he normally doesn't sit and they just had plenty of time off.

Pritch Please!

27 & 10 to lead the Celtics tonight! So good!

[Bosoxfan5990]

Someone pass the easy button!

[Bosoxfan5990]

Celtics at Wizards this evening. Almost 20 point favorites. Horford already ruled out for rest. Need the dub to keep pace with Cleveland.

[Bosoxfan5990]

Easy win.

28/12/2 for Tatum.

7 players in double digits.

[boxbuster7]

Thats an understatement

Easy win! I'm a sucker for Lenticular cards. Here's the latest one from Elite.

[Torro]

Great game from Tatum! Also Pritchard starting to get a bigger role, last night he got 37 minutes, and its really hard to say who are the best 5 players on Celtics right now. Besides 6th man, the most improved player might also be Pritch?

[Bosoxfan5990]

Now that the IST is over, the Celtics can focus their efforts on repeating.

Double-digit favorites at home against the Bulls tonight.

Celtics with plenty of rest.
