Okay we know who Mr. White and Mr. Brown are. I am guessing Mr. Blonde can be Theis. But out of Tatum, Smart, Horford and Timelord, who are Mr. Blue, Mr. Orange and Mr. Pink?

Because we definitely some Reservoir Dogs!!!

Oh man! That is Great!! One of my favorite movies of all time. TP because of the chuckle.

Marcus Camby, I mean Rob Williams with 15pts, 16reb, 3blk, 2stl, 2ast and only 2 fouls. Against the reigning MVP, Jokic...Brad, don’t you ever trade the Timelord.

Mr. Pink = Smart
Mr. Blue = Horford
Mr. Orange = Timelord

Mr. Green can be Tatum.

I love watching Rob play.  Could use some work on everything except the dunks, passing, rebounding, and blocks.

DEN was 5th best in NBA in allowing 9.5 ORB per game. Cs got 18 tonight led by RW with 6 and AH with 4. We had 9(!) fewer TOs too,


We won the grit game.

Someone needs to turn this green and Photoshop some faces

The Celtics are fun again. Great win.

This is one of the first stretch of games in over two years that I genuinely enjoy watching them play.

Always a fan, but now its more fun.

Yeah, I was watching the games because...why not? But now I am genuinely looking forward to each game. It is always fun to watch your team getting better and better as the season progresses. I know our schedule was easy in January, but it seems like something has finally clicked. It won't be perfect, we probably aren't contenders, but the defense alone is so much fun to watch.

The team has a real identity now, and Brad leaned into it with White/Theis. It’s paying off already. 

[SHAQATTACK]

We got sum junk yard dogs 

[radiohead]

It’s still too early to tell but this team is taking me back to the IT led teams. Not quite there yet to fight for the championship, but dangerous enough to make a deep playoff run.

Rob and Smart were co-MVPs tonight:

Smart: 22 points, 5 rebounds, 7 assists, 5 steals, many big defensive plays

Rob: 15 points, 16 boards, 3 blocks, 2 steals, awesome defense on Jokic

I think a stat will appear soon , with Timelord averaging double double significant amount of games in a row.  If the Celtics staff can keep him on the court .  Celtics seem to always be in fight for the win when he is on the court.   

I also think Rwill unlike some players keeps getting better , and at a consistent pace while he has put together lots of games back to back

Rob: 15 points, 16 boards, 3 blocks, 2 steals, awesome defense on Jokic

Rob also had no turnovers.  Good hands.

[colincb]

Rob can block inside and cover outside unlike other elite shot-blockers. That's what elevated what was a good defense into an elite one before the new acquisitions yesterday.

[Boss_D]

Did they say that Theis wouldn't play tonight or was that coaches decision?

There is no Theis in the Celtics line-up today, but there's Kornet, not just one but two...
