Perk just saying on Celtics Post Game that JT sought him out and called him after Perk's social media criticism and they had a nice talk about how JT could improve. Perk said JT was humble and didn't complain or Edited for profanity.  Please do not do it again. about being criticized on social media, but rather he wanted to get Perk's thoughts on how he could get better. Said his (Perk's) respect for JT, already high, went "through the roof" because JT didn't get into a Twitter war but called him instead.

That is impressive. Wow, never would have thought.

Interesting to hear that Tatum is now using an inhaler before games now due to his covid illness. He also said he was only almost 100%. Tatum is a monster and still not fully recovered. I noticed Tatum rubbing his chest toward the end of the game and wondered if it was covid related.

For a young kid with a lot of pressure on him, that sure is a mature gesture and approach.  Great to hear.  A good way to quiet your critics when you are able to say, you are right, how can I improve.

THIS is the C's team we saw in the bubble and in the first 7 games of the playoffs last year.

Aggressive,\focused, no fear. taking punches in stride, never getting rattled. Expecting shots to go in. knowing teammates will be where they're supposed to be. It's beautiful to watch.

We took Portland's best shot last night and still won. This team can beat anyone when they play lie this.

On a negative/angry note: tired of Brown not getting calls around the rim. He was blatantly fouled in the paint at least half a dozen times. Then there was the play where he was fouled shooting a 3 and it was a side out. it is disgusting how the league disrespects him. Not only does he not get the gift phantom fouls of other stars, he doesn't even get regular fouls that other teams' scrubs get.

Dude they dug up Carmelo Anthony's cada... no wait that's not a nice thing to say. I love the guy.

It took Carmelo's revival night to make it a game

We're gonna be just fine!

Wow ,  another win.    I had to hit the sack my starts at 5.30 am

Way to go 

[SHAQATTACK]

Brad is screaming on the side lines! I like it!

well....I missed something new ?   EMOTION ?   I may have to review this historical event .

[SHAQATTACK]

This feels like a win .

Does Portland have anyone to guard Tatum?

Covington seems a little slow to do it.

Nah .....unguardable ..

He is “ The Beast” of the east

Seems like it could be a big night for Tatum. 54?

34 10 4

I was close ... .   32 9 5

Missed the fourth quarter last night.  Great win.  Keep the ball rolling in the right direction.

Atlanta staying hot too, they won again tonight.  We need to climb up to the 4th seed
but the Hawks are doing it without Young even.

I ‘m preparing for us getting the 5th seed and facing the Hawks in the first round. 4th seed obviously better but would rather face in any event than the Bucks. Bucks-Heat in first round would be crazy!

[footey]

The transformation of this team, and in particular Tatum, had been amazing. He definitely is getting that all nba team nod again at this rate.
