Darn League Pass.
I can’t understand why NBA TV isn’t included when you purchase NBA League Pass. Is is stupid...
They need to maintain their defensive intensity even when the shots aren’t falling.
not enough energy by the celtics here, plus they need to attack the basket more.
hmmmmm...where have i heard this before??? ::)
Gibson just abused Baynes on that play
Smart must have worked on his 3 pt shot over summer, it’s the only explanation
Some pretty friendly home officiating already of course ::)

I’ve been wondering, are these officials ever held accountable for their performances?

Lol smart he’s turned into steph curry. Hopefully he doesn’t start heat checking it he will turn back into Marcus smart
Smart has been lights out from 3 lately. Heat check coming up

Hayward has got to stop kicking it out every single time he goes to the basket. The defense is just waiting for that pass. Got to take it all the way sometimes to at least keep them honest.good point. hayward has to be aggressive. take the shots close to the basket. but, again, this is baby steps for him right now.

hayward looking much much better.
good things happen when GH has the ball
hayward looking much much better.
All he needed was time, which unfortunately quite a few on this blog didn't allow and hence, all the "Hayward a bust, time to panic, trade Hayward" etc. posts ::)
Baynes is getting screwed by the refs. That's two very questionable fouls that just landed him on the bench.
These calls are complete BS.
Rozier is getting burned by rose on the pick and roll he really needs to be better with thatto be fair, rose has looked like vintage rose so far. hard to stop that.
The Minny uniforms are hurting my eyes...
Come on with these turnovers, guys.

Again; to be expected. Remember when Rondo would only show up vs the likes of Deron Williams (... remember Deron Williams at all? lol) Steve Nash or Chris Paul? :]Rozier is getting burned by rose on the pick and roll he really needs to be better with thatto be fair, rose has looked like vintage rose so far. hard to stop that.
Yeah Rose looks quick and is really attacking. Rozier almost had a couple of steals, but needs to stay in front.

What a finish by Kyrie!
Kyrie on a roll, and suddenly this team is looking like it's figuring things out now. ;D
As much crap as I have given Brad over the years, I'll give him credit for recognizing the need for more "nastiness" and toughness in the starting lineup to start off games better and replacing Hayward and Brown with Morris and Smart.
Granted, I think injuries made that an easier decision for him, and the real question will be how long he can stick with this lineup.

Im hesitant to get too confident, but it does seem like a corner is being turned.
As a non-American, I gotta say the "honouring soldiers" thing during game breaks is kinda ... odd. Almost reminds me of Hunger Games.you are basiclally correct. it all feed american nationalis/imperial sentiment. but... back to the game!

Can we just get a couple good musicians instead or something? Just a guitar and a drum and a singer or something?
As much crap as I have given Brad over the years, I'll give him credit for recognizing the need for more "nastiness" and toughness in the starting lineup to start off games better and replacing Hayward and Brown with Morris and Smart. That decision has played a major part in our apparent resurgence, as we fit much better together as a group with this rotation.

Some stupid shots from Kyrie . (Unless he makes them $That in-motion 3? Looked pretty good and hit front rim, back rim and board, then front rim again? I dunno. Looked super good. It happens.

Your chores can wait until we finish off the Wolves
Games like this make you realize just how much of a draft pick hit Tatum is. Dude just plays really good basketball.
I say this because I was disappointed we didn't take Jackson, or reach for Isaac. And most posters were angry we gave up Fultz.
He is at least a step above all.
Morris has been so good this year
Just can’t put this team away...I feel like it will go down to the wireI'll take it tbh. I want this team to have some "important moments" where things are on the line. Obviously it'd be better if they just won everything by 30pts but a couple tough wins or tough losses might give them some grit. Build some toughness. Make them experience some rough situations.
Good test now. Can C's take it back.Well hell's bells. That's what I was typing, but far more concise :] Well stated.
Stupid ! Put Thies in there! We need to rebound!!!
Great vision from Hayward after the rebound we want more of those easy points
Would people trade Rozier for Rose? :P

Rose is playing well. So I tend to agree with you.
Okay, get Rozier out and Smart back in. Luckily they haven't been hitting them, but I can't tell you how many times Rozier has lost track of his man on help defense and had to run out chasing him at the three point line.

If you’re going to transition foul at least make him miss the shot
Rose blew by Kyrie on that play too easilyI feel like if these 2 would go 1on1, whomever had the ball first would win.
**** come on someone guard Roseagain, this is vintage rose. no one can really guard him when he is on. only slow him down or make him pass the ball.
Rose is the Trey Burke/Jamal Murray/Joe Ingles of the night.One of these is a former league MVP :p

Keep an eye on the Wolves. He's been doing this a tonne this year. Just check the box scores and if he's scored 20+, catch the highlights :) Plenty of it.Holy mother of sons, Rose.
I'm amazed. Haven't seen him this year.
ATO are not great this year

Hayward basically just said he wants his starting spot back and Jaylen can take a seat on the bench
HAYWARD 30!
Something about this game makes it feel like we’re back. We fought the whole game and played some fantastic team ball. And a 30 point game for Hayward!Agree!
Has a NBA finals team ever had their 2nd best player come off the bench?

I agree with what a few here have stated before it happened: keep starting Smart.
We don't play again until Thursday??? Seriously??
The Celtics looked like they were having fun out there tonight.
That's what we want them to look on a nightly basis. Out there communicating and working hard.
I agree with what a few here have stated before it happened: keep starting Smart.
Until we lose or something goes off the rails (smart starting to take way too many 3s), I dunno why you change it
The fact Hayward can put up those numbers when he clearly is not fully healthy yet is impressive.

i think the back story is he got fussed at for profanity hitting filters and others are getting away scot free? just a guess. i am fine with all of it personally. this is a passionate sport and a game thread not main board. no harm as nobody is attacking ayone here. all are respectable of each other and a brotherhood. but not my call
I love Smart in the starting lineup not only because he does the dirty work that our starters were missing early in the season, but also because it gets us the best version of Smart. His shot selection is much, much better when he knows he's the last option on offense.good points. smart now seems happy to take 4 to 6 shots most nights, which gives him 6 or so points. good.

Do not move Jaylen Brown back to SG when he returns. Keep him on the bench. Keep this starting 5. Keep Hayward as a 6th man/closer 5.
Haha, yeah I read it as a joke as well.
Hence the ignoring everything and just sitting back, sippin'!

Solid win tonight. The current lineup seems to be working. Jalen’s got to come off the bench and kick some butt when he gets back. Hopefully he can embrace that.

Nope, was happy they ran the play (think they did against the Cavs too).
I see so many nevative comments about brown.. last week about hayward.. let the team adjust itself to all this talent.. some will adjust early some not so early.. but.. hayward will find himself sooner rather than later.. brown has so much talent physical strength and ia great in defense..horford will rise again at the playoffs... i am not afraid.. i would be if there was no talent.. and jaylen is not eric williams.. in any team he would be astarter... he is a great defender who can easily score 15p... and he is only 21...
