This Bos team is relentless and they will wear you Down. A win here would easily be the best WIn of the season.
Big game tonight, I was really impressed by the C’s when I watched their game against the Cavs, they are a very balanced squad all around. So let’s take it to them tonight!
No FSN tonight - ESPN has Jeff "Get off my lawn!" Van Gundy as color commentator.
Top Five Ways Danny Ainge has Fleeced the T-Wolves" since 2006
5. Justin Reed
4. Mark Blount
3. Johnny Flynn (one of the draft picks in the KG trade)
2. Theo Ratliff
1. Ricky Davis
Yeah, it's a real "murderer's d'oh!" They also gifted us Gerald Green, Ryan Gomes, Wayne Ellington (pick from KG trade), Bassy Telfair, Big Al (still a favorite of mine), and the immortal Marcus Banks
"We won't give you Rondo....how about Sebastian Telfair?"
Dear god, I can only get Tommy
I saw Thibs smile I am quite shook

The first step towards recovery is admitting that you have an issue... It’s OK – you’re among friends.
Screw Boston
This game will be fun Because Butler might go MVP mode tonight
Tatum knows what he is doing on the court
Some eye popping stats
42% FT rate
68% of his shot attempts are at the rim or 3pters
That's crazy considering what his player profile out of Duke was
17% Defensive rebounding rate, that's Kawhi, prime-Melo rebounding level from a wing
No wonder Celtics have been rebounding the ball well considering their smallish team (9th in DREB%)
Totally impressive
Coming back from break they reported(Celtics feed) Stephens was saying to move the ball and attack Towns
Kyrie listed us as a destination
Big difference between our offense and theirs. Celtics run plays. We run isos with 2 players not included in any action.
Man wiggins is TRASH
Damn tatum
Ugh, hate seeing Ojeleye Dream scenario for me after Butler trade was announced was Anonuby at #16 and finding someway into 2nd round early and getting Ojeleye or Bacon.
Not a lot of scoring. And a bench player is killing us again
The cold arena seems to be having an effect on everyone's shooting. Bricks everywhere.
Smart is wrecking us.
Nice flop by smart and he continues to get rewarded. 1 bad call and then they get fts to close the half. Crazy.
maybe they are tired Crawford bricked the crap out that 3 attempt
probably stayed up all night playing Fortnite again
That was so gross Not your comment, mind you, but the fact that 2 millionaire buffoon tweeners whose only worry in this world is to be rested stay till dawn pkaying a stupid videogame. I can only compare that Behaviour to a middle aged man who stays watching meaningless NBA games all night when he’s got to work early next day. And he gets depressed by what he sees and starts drinking whiskey…
At least J Crossover drilled that 3 to tie it up Now one for his last sixteen 3pt attempts…
You would have no idea this was a game between two of the best teams in the nba If you didn’t know the teams’ records beforehand. Just brutal basketball on both sides
****ing hell Marcus Smart is hitting 20 footers
Otoh, Marcus Smart with the confidence to shoot jumpers for the next 30m
I am all aboard the "Fire Thibs" train. This team, while it is winning more than many past teams, is not built well. We have no shooting, and the guys that want to shoot shouldn’t be. And WHY ON EARTH have Wiggins stand in the corner EVERY. SINGLE. POSSESSION. Have him cut or something, it will at least make things a big easier for everybody
Firing Thibodeau is dumb. For one, finding a better coach will be difficult. For another, you will lose Jimmy Butler, the best thing to happen to this franchise since Kevin Garnett. Don’t be dumb. Don’t fire Thibodeau.
Crawford is a complete sieve on defense, Smart is scoring at will against him
If you’re going to play ‘take a drink every time the play by play guy mentions Taytum’s age,’ you might want to wear a helmet or something.
Tatum couldn't play that game He’s only 19!
Wake me up when one of the teams starts scoring. I don’t care which.
These youths run a faster offense than the wolves and their 3 pt rate is pretty similar.
Am I the only one who thinks all of the Celtics players should be traded to more likable teams?
You might has a point, there.
I never found Kyrie, Smart or Gordon likable, so they can stay
Smart is a flopper, so no likable, and there’s something in Kyrie’s hairline that creeps me out.
His hairline is a flat circle
Jesus, Boston is physical AF
I love the Celtics feed. Heinsohn is like the drunk guy at the bar yelling at the screen.
Celtics announcers are among the worst in the NBA, they're commentary is biased to the point of being comical
There’s a different road announce team as Heinshon is old and on his way out. Scalabrine is pretty good and not biased because he spent little time in Boston.
I lived in Boston 20 years ago and watched a lot of their local broadcasts back (CHANNEL 68, yeah!) Tommy seemed ridiculously old and out-of-it back then. And that TWENTY YEARS AGO
Back then Tommy would always go on and on about how much better Antoine Walker was than Kevin Garnett
This game is FUN. These teams are GOOD. Marcus Smart FLOPS.
I hate playing against Smart, f***ing annoying gnat. Would love to have him.
What a half for KAT. I think someone told him how poor Boston is at rebounding and the stats he could get.
It is with a heavy heart that I must inform you once again That the Andersons got tickets to the game
In case you were watching the ESPN halftime show I think the Celtics are playing a team called the Wolfs. At least I think that's their name since they weren’t mentioned once.
Brown > Wiggins
There's a big list on the left of that equation.
Is there a troll barking at the Stadium? Oops, nah, just Thibs calling defense plays
Love watching Jalen Brown brick threes. Reminds me so much of the 90's. With that fade? I’m telling you.
Celtics will not shoot this poorly all game We gotta take advantage
Baffling move by Kyrie Twice in the last few minutes he has blown by Brooks (yeah, ain’t hard to do), then, instead of taking the easy layup, he passed. Smh
Boxing out? Why bother
Boxing Day has passed
Why isn't there another PG on the team? I know, like, Kirk Heinrich isn’t great, but, he could play right now.
He's coaching in one of those made up states Montana, Dakota, can’t remember which one
Hey, come on, now He’s in charge of the basketball program at the Sanford Sports Science Center here in loverly Sioux Falls, SOUTH Dakota (the true Dakota). And, yeah, he would definitely be an improvement over Broke…errrrr, Brooks.
Doubt we win another game anytime soon
Have they mentioned the Horford/KAT relationship one time?
Bayne of our existence Wolf Bayne?
The Timberwolves need to find a way to acquire Lonzo Ball... Immediately. Then work on signing the other two Ball brothers somehow.
Just win the game Wolves... Geeez, I hate the Celtics.
Rozier thinks hes good now?
Only thing that could trend this game in a direction that its even worse than this is if they show KG in stands cheering the Celtics run on in a Boston jersey.
Four wide open threes in the same possession is bound to lead to one made three #math
Is that one of them "statistics" things ever'buddy always goin on about??
What difference does it make if Boston misses 8 out of 10 3-pointers If they get an offensive rebound on nearly every single miss??
Getting killed on giving up second-chance points Celts way deeper.
These are the type of games we will realize we aren't as good as our record And lament the fact that we have lost at least 5 or 6 games that should have been easy wins earlier in the year.
Losing to the team with the 2nd best record in the nba on the road shouldn't change anyone's evaluation of this team
Celtics on the road is def a reasonable loss.
This team has enormous talent and a unbelievable lack of basketball IQ outside of Butler and Taj And that includes the coach
It sure was nice of the Celts to let KAT have that 20-20
We suck We’re way too slow. We’re playing old school basketball in a modern league. My high school team of white farm boys out on the prairies of Minnesota in 1963 played more exciting basketball. Thibodeau apparently doesn’t realize that evolution marches on.
We win ugly Ugly people deserve to be loved too Learn to love ugly (or watch the Warriors instead)
God forbid the offense struggles against the league’s #1 defense
Should have traded Wiggins.
For Kyrie
Think the Celtics would trade Wiggins for Tatum straight up?
No not a chance. Wiggins can’t even guard Tatum as a rookie. In 2-3 years Tatum is going to be an All Star. Wiggins doesn’t look like he is ever going to get to that level.
I'm not that high on Tatum. It might be because I’m sick of Boston fans telling me he’s the second coming.
He seems kind of blah to me, but he's young Brown on the other hand, I don’t see anything
Put your glasses on
WTF is going on w/ Wigg's Free throws?
He sucks. Pretty sure that's it.
This also shows how great an asset having depth is. Celtics can go 8-10 guys deep and get contributions. We get zilch after man 6.
Game 1 of our test against good teams this month was a failure. Also was hoping we could show up against the good east teams but nope. We just cant eff with the east this season. We are their B*****
I mean.. This team smoked the Cavs by 20 last night. Let’s not get carried away.
I really enjoyed the Celtics broadcast tonight
They wore us down!

Ok, the one about the Anderson's getting tickets to the game really busted me up, lol. I swear that commercial plays at least 5 or 6 times in every game I watch!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the comment! I know! How'd they get tickets? LOL
