Celtics (20-7) at Raptors (21-9) Game #28 12/25/19

[ETNCeltics]

Tatum's low efficiency gives me a headache.

We blow out the #3 team in the east on their home floor in a nationally televised game, and this is your takeaway?

[ETNCeltics]

Great win. A display like this on Christmas Day might give Jaylen a big leg up on getting an all star spot.

Merry Christmas to all of Celtics Strong and all the Celtic nation.

Fun to watch the two Jays grow this year after a tough time last year.

I’d like to see Brad find Brown some more opportunities to create with the ball in his hands.  He’s still a little iffy in iso, but he shows some good feel in the pick and roll.  And experience will only make him better.

Raps were shorthanded today, but, didn't have any answers anywhere.

Beat Raps in early season also. Closer game, but, in that game Celts blew them out with fourth quarter come back.

Celtics are legit.

21-7.

On pace for about 61/62 wins now. Not bad given the injuries to date.

Let’s keep it up. We have good shot to win 2nd seed.

Let Philly and Bucks go at it in 2nd round.

late to the thread due to christmas festivities but watched the game. love how this team is growing and coming together. cant wait to see them fully healthy in mid-season form. with the way some of the rookies are playing and developing, brad will have an easier job managing minutes for the big four.

today was an example of how much more efficient the offense is with gordon in the game. also, during hayward’s first year back, it seemed he & jaylen struggled to play together. now it seems jaylen has his best games when hayward is an active presence on the floor.

merry christmas & happy holidays, everyone!

Nah I disagree. Sure the first 1-2 months was horrible. But after that, Jaylen played his best with Hayward. Hayward often finds Jaylen while some aka Terry tends to ignore him.

The Bucks at some point will also be derailed.. They won't be able to keep this pace for too long.

I know Giannis is an Ironman and barely misses games but they rely so much on him that a bad game against a top contender is going to cost them dearly.

[Sophomore]

Next seven games all very winnable.

Cavs
Raps
At Hornets
Hawks
At Bulls
At Wiz
Spurs

That’s a recipe for 28-7 as long as the team keeps its focus.

Disappointed that the eighth game is at Philly on a toad SEGABABA. That will be a major test.

just watched the game on tape delay.  awesome comeback after coming out like hot crap to start the game.  Jaylen with another fantastic game.  good to see Hayward back on the court and looking like he's rounding back into pre-injury form.

getting more excited about seeing what these guys will do in the playoffs with each passing game

[ETNCeltics]

Another positive, if we can beat TOR on Saturday, we'll have already won the season series.

Great win! I'll rewatch it now I'm awake

Kanter played really well. Stay tuned, they're getting better and better offensively as he gets more comfortable playing with his teammates. Love having a good rebounder on the floor.

Kanter and Theis may be playing Robert Williams straight out of the rotation

Which is a good thing, Robert Williams being anywhere near a team's big man rotation aside for garbage time does not bode well for a team with championship aspirations.

at his current level of play, Timelord could provide spot minutes here and there but he really needs to develop his team D.  that's what's really holding up his development into a solid rotation player.
