in 14 minutes Wanamaker has 2 pts 3 rebs, 0-4 from the field and 3 turnovers and -10 in that span.

Fun game. 

We need to get something from Hayward and Brown in this fourth quarter.  Ideally we'd sit Tatum until seven minutes left.  That means somebody - ideally Hayward - needs to take this over for at least the next five minutes.

If Gordon Hayward misses ONE MORE LAYUP, I'm gonna do something regrettable ...

get a foam doll to throw at your TV.

Pretty amazing that this is a tied game through 3 with some of the boneheaded plays this game.

Tatum is the equivalent of two players and Wanamaker is the equivalent of a Laker so I guess they cancel each other out this game.

Theis has been awesome. Happy we did not do something foolish before deadline.

Hayward has really struggled in a lot of big games this season.

Someone mentioned that before and it was disproven, it’s in one of the threads in the Celtics forum

One undeniable fact about Hayward: He's taken over the Al Horford role of missing the most layups and bunnies of any Celtic player.
There are two kinds of people: those who say to God, 'Thy will be done,' and those to whom God says, 'All right, then, have it your way.'

You don't have a soul. You are a Soul. You have a body.

  • It's not hard to work hard.
we're like 2 pieces away from being a legit championship team.
McHale's favorite ruse is putting paper in the mouths of sleeping teammates. "Try using one of these cocktail napkins," he said. "When just the edge sticks out of a guy's mouth, it looks like he's got fangs. The best part is when he wakes up."

Just sit Brown and Wanamaker at this point. Both have been major negatives out there today on both sides of the ball.
Imo, Brown has played great defense. Even on AD.

Theis and Tatum- only ones to show up. Amazing that this is a close game .

I mean, Hayward hasn't been shooting great, but he's doing a bunch of other good stuff that helps, including 6 rebounds and 7 assists with 0 turnovers.
Recovering Joe Skeptic, but inching towards a relapse.

Hayward does have 6 rebounds and 7 assists, unless we’re just talking about showing up being scoring

We’re playing the top team in the West in their building and we’re tied. And some would say Kemba, who’s out, is a little better than wanamaker.

I gotta disagree about Jaylen on def.  He has been guarding LeBron and Davis, and doing well on both.
he had one too aggressive play and gave up an easy layup, but otherwise he has been disruptive on D.

We need to keep this close while JT sits down. JB and Hayward should step up.

Yeah, some pretty good gang rebounding from the wings.
