We remain a dumb basketball team.

but somehow we are the best team in the NBA.

Love seeing Tatum 8-8 from the free throw line. When he drives, it feels like he's automatically going to draw the foul.

Rob not a good matchup with Vucevic tonight. Going with Al down the stretch paid off big time with that last 3 pointer.

[Sophomore]

Love that Chicago has Drummond and Vucevic and we beat them on the boards. We don’t need that type of player to be fine on the boards.

Well done .

I liked JT's late game decision making in this one. Credit to Al on that big 3 too.

bulls tried to take the ball outta his hands and he made the right plays tatum is such a good passer. Brown played well but took bad shots in the 4th. Williams rebounded well and white was great.

That was a huge pass from JT. His younger self would have settled for a fade away or something. But he trusted Big Al and made the pass. That was a great sequence.

Thanks Silas - Paul Silas is one of my favorite all-time Celtics along with Cowens, Max and a couple more.

Looks like you may have noticed the source of my 'Miracle" comment, a certain minor-league baseball comedy from 1988.

Can't argue with the results   

If we're so critical of our team when we win, I wonder how the fans of the team we beat feel 

It's not a perfect season or a perfect team but all things considered they've done all right so far. I love these wins where we shoot terrible but still win...it's an improvement over earlier losses where we would lose if we shot poorly.

Probably Jaylens worst game of the season, sure seemed like he was chasing individual stats and could care less about the outcome.

A win is a win but that was disappointing.

I wonder if the fan vote is getting to his head? Can't imagine he liked seeing being 4th on the ballot when he should be a clear favorite to start.

It was a good win against a team that is probably better than their record.  But there were things about this game that I didn't like.  41 3PA seems like too many.  I would like to see them get to the line more than 21 times (the Celtics average 23 per game and that is 22nd in the league).  I am not going to go as far as saying they are a dumb team, that is an exaggeration, but there are things they still need to work on.

Chicago was scheming to stop the 3.  All high doubles.  They executed their defense well.  We seemed to keep doing the same thing.  Our personnel limits this some but the team should be looking at this games and seeing things they need to improve, to work on, not just saying a win is a win.

White and Brown a combined 0-11 from 3.  Wow.
