Impressive numbers for Moore! i always liked him, happy he is playing well.
This is our chance to show Anthony Davis what he's missing. Don't blow it guys!
lets go Celtics! get back on the winning track tonight. get jaylen healthy and start a new winning streak.
Impressive numbers for Moore! i always liked him, happy he is playing well.
He has put in a lot of work. Good for him.
I hope the Celtics kick some ass tonight.
these parking space are just not adequate .
I'll settle for them hustling and making the effort defensively.
Holiday and AD better not kill us on the pick and roll tonight >:(
always wish a former C draftee does well but only as long as the C's pull off a win.Holiday and AD better not kill us on the pick and roll tonight >:(
Look out for Etwuan Moore tonight.
Way to get AD going early, zebras.
Where is Brown tonight?
I can’t watch the game,the defense seems better. Already some steals. Is this correct?
Like the change of Smart starting. Should give us better energy and intensity from the get-go.

ridiculous 3 there by Kyrie.

that was insane!
It was a bad shot, but it went inridiculous 3 there by Kyrie.

Al "Should be traded for ****ing Tristan Thompson" Horford with the slam!

Al "Should be traded for ****ing Tristan Thompson" Horford with the slam!
Did someone actually suggest that trade?
I am aware of his shortcomings, but I feel confident sending out a starting 5 with Smart somewhere in it.
Al Horford like, "you want to trade me as salary filler for Davis? LOL" :laugh:
Marcus Smart needs to start.
Can we just like... not play Terry tonight. :P
Marcus Smart needs to start.
Might you call him... Marcus Start?
(I'm so sorry)

Hayward is giving this lead away

He needs to be more aggressive. Look a Rozzier; one touch one shot.
Hayward 5 touches, no shot
When did Randle get so good?

24 points in six minutes. 7 points in the next five.
What an inconsistent offense this is.
Randle was an underrated acquisition for the Pelicans. I'm kind of surprised LAL simply let him go and then just filled their roster with guys like Stephenson/Rondo, etc. Wasn't he a restricted FA?
He does most nights. He is afraid to shotmany times. This should be fixed by playoff time.Hayward is giving this lead away

Hayward does look really tentative so far.
Fantastic 1st quarter, but it won't mean much if we have a sloppy 2nd quarter which unfortunately we've been prone to this season.It tonight time to be positive! A tp to give you more confidence. ;D
T Rozier ends things on a nice run...
ok, we responded to their little run and pushed up our lead.
very nice

He’s been beasting all year as a 6th man.

That won't stop people, though :P
Can Gordon for a moment just look like he’s having fun out there?
His body language always looks like he’s disgusted
Don't look now - Smart is 8 for his last 12 three pointers.
Great D from Hayward forced a steal then a block. Anyone just looking at ppg to measure his contribution is missing a lot of his value

Hayward makes a lot of passes with 1-2 seconds on the shot clock. He needs to just shoot those

He's shooting exactly 40% (and only 28% from 3) - I don't think he wants to take any more low percentage shots than he has to.
What is withtatum? He seems invisible tonight.

Nice pass up by Baynes. Hate him shooting the 3.
wow Davis is so freaking long - that block on Kyrie
I feel like in most C's-Pelicans games... AD by now is at 20 points, 10 rebounds already.
So far it's 8 rebounds.. but just 7 points. Nice!
So it's Mirotic tonight.
What an excellent first half of defense. The Pels are an excellent offensive team.Well, until the last two minutes
Where is Mike Gorman? This is painfull to listen to...
Mirotic looking tired, Tatum gotta use his quickness and get to the cup. Kind of bailing him out on Def by settling for tough jumper when Mir was out of position.
Where is Mike Gorman? This is painfull to listen to...
It was his birthday on the weekend so he probably took the weekend off. Draper has actually improved a lot, you should have heard him when he started.
overall, a better first half than they've been playing this year. their D on Mirotic needs to tighten dramatically or he's going to be the latest player to run up a career night on the C's.
Who is covering Mirotic? Tatum? Morris? What the heck?
Any one else like the starting line up tonight. The play between smart and Kyrie is nice. Smart is a better passer and he can defer to Kyrie in the shooting department. His defense is always good too. Hayward on the bench is a good place for him. Morris is much better starting for this team right now. Let’s hope Brad found something.The best 1st havles the C's have had recently are against Atlanta and NO, two of the worst defensive teams in the league. And they did it with two completely different starting lineups. I am not sure who starts over those two games matters as much as how much effort the players give and how bad the opposing defense is.

Also not convinced Brown is fully healthy. Seems to have a bunch of nagging stuff going on with him this year.Any one else like the starting line up tonight. The play between smart and Kyrie is nice.

Brown hasn't been doing enough of the little things gritty role players like Smart and Morris are known for, and Hayward just is nowhere near back to his old self. The two-man game between Kyrie and Horford still works great when we focus in on it. Tatum has also shown he can play off of the two-man game of Kyrie/Horford pretty well.
I don't know if bringing Brown and Hayward off the bench on a more permanent basis is viable, but for now it may be best.
The only way the Celtics are going to win this thing is if they maintain pace. Pelicans are dragging at both ends.
Bench has looked good.
Mike Vrabel, on the other hand? Is not looking good.
Mirotic is now on the all star ballot.

Turnover aside, I really like the way Randle has developed. Can’t believe the Lakers let him go for nothing.
EASILY the best we've looked all year long. We have been really solid and consistent on both sides of the ball tonight.

noticed that as well (poor passes made) and rushed/questionable shots taken when the C's had more time on the clocknot seeing why he should be pushing his offense on a night when the rest of the team isn't having one of its 'brick' nightsanyone else think Kyrie's pressing a bit much this game?Yes.

Most of his turnovers have come from him trying to pass the ball to someone open after he’s drawn attention

Imagine the lead if mirotic was not unconscious tonight.

Was going to say is she new? I guess because Abby is going on maternity leave soon?
not sure - looked her up on the internet -- seems she's linked to the team via ESPN. not sure how that works but if she's covering for Abby when she goes on maternity leave, I think she'll fill in nicelyhmm, Amanda Pflugrad is certainly an eye-catching addition to the broadcast team.

What does Rozier have carved in the back of his head ?
Is that really necessary ?

maybe my eyes are going on me but it looks like "trade bait"What does Rozier have carved in the back of his head ?

Is it " Don't pass, shoot!"?
Shooting wise no, but I really love his toughness and aggressiveness. He’s draws fouls.Turnover aside, I really like the way Randle has developed. Can’t believe the Lakers let him go for nothing.
He's not having the best game tonight but I agree...
what a god-awful lob by Rozier
AD can't hit a barn....yaySounds like a Cs player on an average night. He’d fit right in.
Even Rozier is playing pretty well tonight and not making dumb decision after dumb decision!
Rozier trying to shoot over AD? Not a good idea. Move the ball.
It seems like there's been a ton of whistles tonight thus far.
What a disastrous close to the quarter.
Finish this quarter.Well, giving up a 12 to 2 run I guess is one sort of finish. Dang
I really don't like that play call Brad. Not only is a 3 pointer, from Rozier of all players, a shot we can typically get. But Rozier executed it poorly and planted his feet a good 2-3 feet behind the 3 point line, making the shot harder than it needed to be.
Bad play call, bad execution. Bad results.
It's going to be hard to win a game where Randle shoots one more free-throw than your entire team.
There wasn’t any foul there what a joke
Omg. Stop jacking up 3s.buying him some rest so he can finish it out strong but he's out there now
And why is Kyries not in this game right now?
This lineup makes me nervous. It's the Terry show offensively - forbetter orworse.
I get monitoring minutes but they have 3 days off off coming up. It’s ok if Kyrie plays 35 minutes.Omg. Stop jacking up 3s.buying him some rest so he can finish it out strong but he's out there now
And why is Kyries not in this game right now?
Holy. Rap. Pelicans are 20 for 21 on ft. Celtics are 8 for 9. :P

Pelicans doing their best to help us win this game
Thank you Hayward!
Hayward is straight up killing us out there. He doesn't need to be out there right now.
Finally Hayward. Great set up by Smart to get him that look.
Thank you Hayward!
HAYWARD III!
Hayward is straight up killing us out there. He doesn't need to be out there right now.
he just scored a three....
Al being clutch here in the 4th. We gotta keep playing def though.Best Al effort in awhile. Wonder if going against Davis brought it out of him?
Big Al is back baby!
Thank you Hayward!
HAYWARD III!
It says a lot that we are really surprised when GH hits a 3. Hopefully a couple months from now that will be long forgotten and we will expect him to make them.

Both Davis and Mirotic individually have more free throws than our entire team.
Solid game for Rozier. 14 points in 17 minutes. With the grief he gets here, needs some love. Also, good for him to be playing well in NO.
Another phantom foul
That's an insane finish by Kyrie.
Both Davis and Mirotic individually have more free throws than our entire team.
Randle has more than our team.

Peels with 27 ft to Celtics 9.Tommy must be apoplectic

Superstars like Mirotic and Randle will always get those calls
All the Pelicans just fall down when someone goes to the hoop, like those goats that fall over when you shoot a gun....
Hot Take:
You can see why this blog really wants AD :P
Pels 27-29 from the line. 93%. Game in jeopardy as Pels are scoring EVERY possession.
C's need offense. Al's missed 6-footer was unacceptable.
All the Pelicans just fall down when someone goes to the hoop, like those goats that fall over when you shoot a gun....
Our team would get way more FT attempts if we flopped like the teams we play against... the rule changes/emphasis this season are encouraging flopping and we aren't taking advantage
Not that I want the team to flop, but if the league isn't gonna do anything to cut down on that bull****...
Peels with 27 ft to Celtics 9.Tommy must be apoplectic
Hot Take:
You can see why this blog really wants AD :P
Yeah even on an off night he is still 25/15/5 with 3 steals / 2 blocks
Peels with 27 ft to Celtics 9.Tommy must be apoplectic
He is definitely yelling "THIS IS RIDICULOUS" at his TV
At least, I hope he is. That way I'm not alone ;D
Julius Randle - 21 minutes, 10 free throw attempts
Boston Celtics team - 217 minutes, 9 free throw attempts.
We're a jumpshooting team, but come on.

Robert Williams into the game!
Bad boy Tatum!
So... is anyone else ready to say that both of our starting wings look much better and aggressive with a more traditional lineup of two guards, two forwards, and a center? I think the more traditional lineup in conjunction with having that second playmaker out there has made all of the difference.
Awesome effort on both sides of the ball tonight. This is the team they should be all year.
Great game everyone, tps all the way around. ;D
Great win. Hopefully Stevens sticks with this rotationStarting Smart was a move that paid off.

. Agree, I think Smart brings them that attitude and mongrel they have been missing. He won’t shoot as well as this in the future but we have plenty of shooters we need his attitude and effort particularly on the defensive end.Bad boy Tatum!

Not just that, Smart was a big part in setting the tone defensively. His PnR defense with Al was a big reason why the Pels were turning over the ball so frequently in the 1st quarter.
Was that the game to finally awake the sleeping giant?Cleveland could be a good measuring stick. They should pummel them but we'll see. But a lot of good things happened tonight - finally. Best to me was they really worked at it defensively.

Hopefully Stevens sticks with this rotation for a while (sans occasionally swapping Baynes for Morris against really big front lines). Smart and Morris just seem to compliment Kyire, Al, and Tatum well.Meh...The Pels are an atrocious defensive team. I don't think it matters one iota who starts. It matters how much the team as a whole brings the effort and plays great two way ball. Each starting unit Stevens has gone with has had good and bad times. It's the groupings that matter not who starts. So the grouping that looked good tonight might be a grouping Brad wants to try more often. I just don't see they need to start.

Hayward didn’t have a great game but he hit that huge 3 when it was needed. How about Baynes’ defense? Fantastic.

We've struggled offensively so much. It makes sense to simplify the game to start by putting another guy out there who can read and react, and make the right play - whether it's for himself or creating for others.
We have struggled with all sorts of starters and all sorts of groupings. You can't make decisions about playing time, groupings and substitution patterns based on one game. Stevens is going to change the starting lineup depending on how we match up, that is obvious. What he needs to do is when he sees a grouping playing very well is play that group more. It doesn't matter if they are starting. If that grouping is going nuts at the start of the 2nd and 4th quarters, always make sure that grouping plays then. If a grouping is excellent to close close games, play it then. If the best grouping is the one that starts the game, play them a lot. But so far, there has not been one starting lineup that has shown any type of long term success.Hopefully Stevens sticks with this rotation for a while (sans occasionally swapping Baynes for Morris against really big front lines).

Brown is a 'finisher', he's not a 'creator'. Smart is also a better, more consistently tenacious defender. Smart can be counted on to always do the little things that help win games, whereas I've seen Brown standing around a lot this year.
Well, Brown wasn't around tonight so obviously he is the problem and should not start and should be traded as soon as possible. 😀😂That’s the old Celtics strong spirit! ;D

Brown is a player physically gifted who plays great defense and can score 20p each night.. he just happens to be in a team with many scorers.. he is a keeper... he just needs time to find his not leading role^this

Good road win!
19-39 from 3pt range won it for us.
Similar to the Milwaukee game (we exploited slow footed Lopez with Horford's 3pt shooting).
You can't expect that to repeat every game, but a win is a win.
We really need hot shooting to have a great offense, as we also lost the FTA battle 10 vs 29.
10 FTA is a rather poor number.
Wow, Smart played 40 mins tonight, next was Tatum with 35, then Kyrie and Al with 32. Morris 30 Hayward 23 Baynes 20 rozier 19. Wonder if they’re worried about Gordon’s ankle at all after taking him off the minutes restriction previously

We rely too much on our threes to go in in order to win.. On nights it falls.. We win..
On nights we struggle we obviously lose... We are exactly like the Pelicans as their record Also shoows 10-10..we must prove we can easily beat the likes of NY, Dallas and the Jazz in order for us to be called elite... We cannot go 2 wins tgen lose the next 3...that is a typical 7-8th seed team which we are unfortunately ATM.
Beating the likes of NY, Dallas, and Utah will make us elite? But beating teams like Toronto, Milwaukee, Philly, OKC, Detroit x2 won’t? The theme here is we show up for big games, or beat the truly awful teams who literally can’t even beat the C version of us

I posted this in Pho’s stats thread...I’m convinced of it. They don’t have the right mindset going into some of these games particularly against lesser teams. They start to take lazy shots, they don’t defend with enough effort, they don’t communicate on defense, and they start to expect someone else to do the heavy lifting and fight in the paint. Then they dig themselves in a hole and then they wake up. There will always be missed shots it’s how you respond to it that counts.
