For all the talk up until the trade deadline about the Celtics acquiring Aaron Gordon, I've yet to really notice him this year when he's playing against the C's.

I only tuned in at the start of the fourth.....heck of a way to start my week.

All you missed was the early wrist slitting 

so, it was a typical day for this board??

Happy I missed that too! 9 mile run for me before I joined in second half!

They were hot garbage until they got down by 16 or so late in the third.  Then they started attacking Jokic inside and the Nuggets fell apart.

Reminded me of the Denver/LA series last year actually, minus the Lakers' thuggery of course. But if you abuse Jokic inside they really seem to collapse.

Makes an impact defensively.  Still doesn't do much on offense, but with the right lineup around him, he can help us... especially given our lackluster perimeter defense for much of this season.

When this team can defend at this high level they are really, really good. Defense made all the difference!!!

Celtics blowout the hottest team in the NBA, Denver, in Denver. Celtics have now won 5 of 6 with wins over 3 playoff teams. They seem to be getting it together

I loved the way they had Grant on Jokic and RWIII came in for the late double team. He couldn't handle it. I am so impressed by their effort in this.

good to hear the team defended well in the 2nd half.  Sometimes  it takes a little tweak and things get realigned.
Maybe Langford isn't killing it on offense, but for his 20 min or whatever if he makes the team a lot better on def overall it can really help.

Fantastic 4th Q recovery Tommy Points all round !
