Celtics (28-26) at Trail Blazers (31-22) Game #55 4/13/21

Interesting to hear that Tatum is now using an inhaler before games now due to his covid illness. He also said he was only almost 100%. Tatum is a monster and still not fully recovered. I noticed Tatum rubbing his chest toward the end of the game and wondered if it was covid related.

Tatum looks gassed an awful lot tbh. When he’s gotta move or score, he moves like everything’s fine but after a rebound is secured, the ball just crossed half court, a timeout is called, or any of these short moments when there’s a lull in the action, he seems to look tired.

This feels like a win .

Does Portland have anyone to guard Tatum?

Covington seems a little slow to do it.

Nah .....unguardable ..

He is “ The Beast” of the east

Seems like it could be a big night for Tatum. 54?

34 10 4

I was close ... .   32 9 5

Nice job, SA.  That's pretty darn impressive.

One point victory! Only watched till half, wish I had stayed up for it now. Dammn you west coast games!

Back to back wins against quality opponents? Are we finally pulling it together? Add Fournier to the mix, and we may have something, come playoffs time.

If they can go 3-2 or better in this next 5 game stretch (LAL, GSW, CHI, PHX, BKN) then I think you have to feel pretty decent.

I'm gonna buy some popcorn for that last one.

Gosh. That'll be the real measuring stick.

That last one is the second half of a back-to-back, so no Kemba unless Brad sits him for Phoenix instead.

I did the same thing.  I have it taped and will be sure to catch the second half tonight

Robert was absolute money for the last minutes of the game last night.

Nurkic and Kanter are still looking for him on the offensive end.

I also want credit for this because I was sleeping. If I had stayed up, who knows what might have happened.

Yeah, he does.
