Celtics (24-8) at Bulls (13-22) Game #33 1/4/20

[blink]

Brown-Hayward-Tatum with 71 points on 48 shots.

This efficiency doesn't seem to be slowing down, especially once Tatum figures it out. This is setting a new archetype/playstyle for efficiency.

Harden is 3s and FTs. Under CBS, it is just making shots.

When the ball moves we can get a lot of layups and dunks. Jaylen coulda had a few more tonight but had some uncharacteristic misses.

You know Jaylen has raised his game when we think 54% FG, 60% 3pFG and 100% FT is a night were he had some uncharacteristic misses. lol  I am just giving you a hard time, I know what you mean.  Missed a couple shots on drives to the rim.

[Sophomore]

We only attempted 19 threes. Got to the bucket again and again.

[slamtheking]

can't help but watch tonight's game and relive draft night a few years ago when so many people were screaming for Danny to take Dunn and the furor over him taking Jaylen instead.  so glad Danny's the one making the picks.

At the begiining of the game the C's looked awful, they were down by 12.

Hayward just grabbed the ball and ran them right back to a tie score at the end. He was great.

Yep. I am surprised now anytime he shoots inside 5 feet and misses - even in a crowd. His ability there is so good.

almost thought I was watching a game from the 80's with so many feeds to Kanter in the post.

i needed that

Ii can freely admit I didn't think we would be 25-8 after 33 games.  I have been pleasantly surprised.
This team has so many weapons, and it seems like 2-3 guys step up big time literally every game.

I am at the point where I am going to be steamed if JB and JT both don't make the all star game.

They deserve it. Hopefully Celtic fans aren't wasting their enthusiasm on Tacko Fall. The actual Celtic team is pretty good.

I was not one of them!  But in their defense they wanted Dunn drafted to trade him for Jimmy Butler.

The bulls did a good job of defending the perimeter and closing out. Doesnt help that our best PNR player is out.

I think he was indecisive about whether or not to use the glass.

Really, my only qualms with him tonite was some sloppy turnovers.

Something never discussed on this site: the Celtics are a really good road team. They are 11-6 with the 4th best road record in the league. Even in the 6 losses they were fighting and in it to the end in 5 of those losses. They seem to come to play with tremendous effort on the road. For such a young team, this is ridiculously uncommon.
