once more, just joining the game. tps for recaps and analyses.  the score is okay though considering both TL and smart are missing.

NO only in the game due to CJ.  that said, it would really help if the bench contributed some points and someone other than Jaylen or Al hit a decent percentage of their shots

wow. you arent kidding about CJ. 6/7 from 3?!?! 

hopefully he degenerates to the mean and celtics pull away.

[Neurotic Guy]

CJ’s unconscious shooting aside, NO is doing what many  teams have been doing v. the Cs - hang around, go down 8-12 points, comeback, and hang around again. Last 2 wins could have been relatively easy end of games mop up wins, but both required concerted effort and a few good bounces to secure the wins at the end.
Cs need to get back to dominating teams.  Need to show some of the defensive prowess that characterized the team last year. 
Both teams are playing well tonight, but the Cs are the top team in the NBA and are at home. They should be able to pull away and leave this team in the dust.

I'd be happy if they did that but they're bricking away this quarter

If i have one complaint with JT, it’s him not going down on D after a missed drive.

good to see Brogdan hitting shots.

Tatum sauntering up the court as he's complaining about a lack of a call -- leading to a NO bucket

[SCeltic34]

Brogdon turned things around.  Good early sub by Mazz.

[angryguy77]

Good to see tatum matured this year and got back on D rather than stay back and cry to the ref.

Should be benched for the rest of the gsme

[radiohead]

There you go again, Pels went 5 on 4 after a JT miss. I know JT is our superstar but it’s just annoying.

[SCeltic34]

Thankfully CJ has gone cold from 3 this quarter.

[slamtheking]

AND 1!!!  Jaylen carrying the team tonight

[SCeltic34]

JB is straight up beast tonight
