Crazy shooting today - especially by Brown with 10 3s. Glad they were able to stop the run there by the Magic and cruise to an easy win! Hopefully all of those 3s (rather than drives) will keep them fresh for tomorrow.

Solid win. Hopefully they can try to string a few in a row... definitely have said this before lol.

Great W

[Jiri Welsch]

Uninspiring win, but at least they won. Hopefully they can take care of business tomorrow.

Liked what I saw from Nesmith tonight. He agressively, but too cute like, went end to end. When it swung to him he shot that ball. He was much quicker with his defensive rotations, though still a work in progress. But there was progress tonight. He played defense on that fast break perfectly, picking up the steal. He got blown by but had the come from behind block that I don't think he got credit for.

He is definitely showing flashes that he will be really good with some experience.

one game out of home court in the playoffs! wow we’re good  lol

[ozgod]

Good bounceback win. Glad to be able to hand out TPs today!

prove it! jk lol, TP, i’ll take this somewhat comfortable win

Right back at you  I'll be happier to hand out TPs tomorrow though if we can maintain the energy we had today even if the shots aren't falling I think we will go a long way towards winning the game

[Celtics Mike]

At last some welcome TPs all round

The biggest thing about today was their shots were falling and that always gives them energy. It's when their shots aren't falling that they start to feel sorry for themselves and their energy drops

[footey]

Team played much more cohesively. Didn't force bad shots. Ball movement was quite good.  And outside shooting was sweet.

Jaylen looked like his old self today. Jayson had it going early too, but was happy to defer to Jaylen today.  That was awesome to see.

excellent point.  TP!  This is actually the thing that has made watching the team a little less fun than in recent years.  This sulking demeanor over misses.  They need to feel themselves as players who can put a hurt on the other team on both ends...not just offense.  Take joy in the whole game...

[Goldstar88]

Jaylen Brown took 24 shots and 18 of those were 3 pointers. Wow...

[ozgod]

Tatum is our best and most important player, he makes our team tick. Look at how the team falls apart without him and how he gets us performing by checking his raw on/off...oh wait he's been the worst out of our starters in that metric

Scal just gave JT the Tommy Award

TP back at ya. Yes it would be great if they got their energy from having really unrelenting defense, and that carried on to their offense, instead of the other way around.

Sounds like good shot selection to me considering he made over 50% of them.
