Good win, things get more difficult against Indy, and Philly.

GWill is going to have to figure out a way to score around the basket.  that was two bad attempts at laying it in.
Never will. He doesn't have Barkely's explosive leap to make it happen down there.

I want to see us pulverize Philly.

Good win. Gordon looked good. Tatum had a better night than I thought he did looking at the stats. Brown is going to another level.

I feel like JaVonte Green should get more playing time. He does something to impress me every time he comes in the game.

Agree, he has that spark-plug ability.

I could see him being an especially good choice in games where the energy is a little too low and the team needs a boost.

doesn't have the hops but needs to figure out something that will at least enable him to make layups without getting repeatedly blocked

Poirier looks like an NBA player.

I want to to see them pulverize both.

Yeah, I was thinking that he should've been in during the scoring drought. I was wondering way Brad didn't put him in at that time....

Is Langford injured ?  Or is he simply not as good as the other rookies - drafted after him ?
Brandon Clarke might have been a better choice with that 1st pick.

I have no idea what the story is with Langford.
Feel like I heard he was injured, but not sure.

He’s injured. Should be ready in a few days

I am not sure anyone would have known Hayward had just missed a month if all they did was watch this game. He seemed to fit back in flawlessly.

And it seems like Brad always plays either Ojeleye or Green, never both at the same time. Play both guys at the same time with a Kanter as the 5 (if he isn’t starting.) I just feel like the Celts might have something with Green.

Yeah, he has that kind of game and he's kept himself in top shape. He looked really good.

There was one play tonight on offense where Tatum showed he’s a very good ball handler. I’d like to see him improve when he’s being posted up in the paint but I love he’s attacking the basket more often. I just continue to see more Paul Pierce in Tatum.

Yup. He’s got the intellect and feel for the game. I think he needs someone to take him under his wing and show him the ropes. Someone like a McHale or Parish would do wonders.

G-Will could just outmuscle post defenders in college - he is a strong boy...........problem being guys in the NBA are just as strong as he is - the muscle game doesn't work unless you are 6-8 and 20 pounds heavier than Grant is.

The Four Celtic Lieutenants:
Cousy - Havlicek - McHale - Pierce
