Those that complained about the Theis trade could not have been more wrong. Theis isn't Horford, but if Al is gone next year, I'm okay with Theis taking a bunch of Horford's minutes that he is playing this year.

He’s been a god send the last few weeks. Just a great pick up. Could argue they should have never traded him to begin with.

That offensive set was beautiful. Theis finishes it with a offensive rebound putback because Memphis got lost trying to keep up with the Celtics passing.

So I guess despite all the debate on this site, the c’s don’t care if they play the nets in the 1st round and are satisfied with getting the 2 seed?

I'm good with playing to win.  Not concerned about Brooklyn.

[SCeltic34]

Take care of the ball.

[PAOBoston]

Not a fan of how they are plying tonight. Too
Many turnovers. Defense looks scattered.

[nickagneta]

Nesmith's defense no bueno

The Cs are showing the NBA that they fear nobody. I hope it doesn’t bite us in the end but wow, I’m proud of these guys! Wouldn’t it be funny if the Cavs somehow beat the Nets in the play in?

[PAOBoston]

So many turnovers. So many fouls.

[Silas]

Smart play by Payton.

AMEN!!!!

He's a heady player.

[nickagneta]

Jaylen averaging 5.1 assist per game the last 8 games. Already with 3 today.

Growth.

This team has a bad tendency to revert to excessive dribbling, going iso on offense and turning the ball over.
Ball movement has improved so drastically the rest of the time and I hope this group can maintain the mental focus it takes to play the right way on offense. Ball movement, yes, but still not much player movement on offensive sets, unless you count running back and forth around the 3-point line as moving without the ball. I would like to see more constant moving and screening and less of standing around the perimeter like statues.

Grant can't dribble but D White can....
