Let Payton be the playmaker and shoot more.

Good he’s awful

Almost as bad as Ainge's commentating. Yikes!

I think Ainge is doing okay.  Mostly I think Scal is in over his head, trying to commentate the game and also feed Ainge material that he can riff on.  Clearly something he’s very new at.  By contrast, Gorman is among the best at it.  So it’s a steep drop-off.

Ainge really can’t really say many things as he subject to tampering rules by NBA. He’s pretty vanilla. He can’t really say anything about the Bulls players lol.

The depleted bench with 15 points is awesome!

Jabari has had some sloppy rusty plays, but overall I like what I see.     He moves much better than I was expecting.  Having a big who can create shots near the rim is a nice addition.  With regular playing time, he could get a lot better and be a difference maker as we head into the playoffs.

Celtics FG 51.3% 3PT 5 for 14
Bulls FG 38.3% 3PT 5 for 17

Benches
Celtics 43 minutes 15 points
Bulls 45 minutes 13 points

The dawn of the Jabari Parker era continues...3/5 and 6 points with a ribbie in 8:19...most efficient offensive player in Celtics history if he can just build on this.

Theis 1 for 5, but 5 rebounds 3 assists a block and a steal...he's German, I guess it makes sense he plays for Chicago now.

Your new point guard - Pritchard 4/5 with 9 points 3 assists
Tatum 1 for 7 and three points but, 7 rebounds and 5 assists

Parker's had a really good first half.  hard to believe he's making this much of an impact in his first 2 games after such a long layoff.

C's need to smarten up on offense.  too many TOs and some careless passes.

[slamtheking]

anyone else shocked that Theis has only been called for one foul now that he's on another team? 

[Ogaju]

How is Jabari doing...I saw him flush one in a highlight.

[SCeltic34]

What a pass from PP
