White's been the best player in a Celtics jersey tonight

Can say this most nights to be honest

Agreed.  I feel like DW makes good decisions, and does tons of little things…wining plays

I’m praying we come out in the 3rd with a run to put them away. Please don’t let up some 10-0 run to start with Mazz again waiting too long to call a timeout

I think Randle may be the only player in the league who can consistently bully Grant.  Even Jokic and Embiid have a hard time doing it.  Grant just does not bother Randle for some reason.

+1000

For whatever reason the Knicks seem to really play well against us.  We need to stop their fast breaks off of transition.  That stuff is just paying attention and effort.

Smart seems to have more of an attitude than normal since he came back from the injury.  He is pressing a lot and loosing his composure.  He just needs to concentrate on making the right play and not getting his.

Amen.

Knicks aren't that impressive.  We're not even playing well - unfocused, not getting back in transition, and we still have a lead.  They only have 7 assists as a team.

Knicks have a pretty good team.
They will be a tough out.
Cs have problems with gritty teams like the Cavs and Knicks.

Bucks only up 5 on the Wizards btw

Agree 100%.  It is kind of shocking to see Randle just throw Grant around like a rag doll.

I'll go as far as saying the smartest/most-hustling player.

Yup I've noticed that too.  Last season I was looking at the match up on paper and I figured that Grant should match up decently against him.  Randle then proceeded to absolutely destroy Grant, and he plays well against him every time.  It's pretty remarkable.  Even Giannis has a harder time against Grant.

smart is pressing because he knows d.white is outplaying him at both ends of the court. with brogdon, it’s not a stretch to say smart is now the third best guard on the team. smart isn’t responding well to the pressure.

Am I crazy to think White right now is the 3rd guy in our "Big 3"? He's playing better than Smart, and Timelord barely plays anyways. White's also been fantastic since he took on a bigger role after Smart got hurt in December/January

These stupid idiots keep saying the Knicks are 2-0 vs the Cs this season. They are 2-1. Do some [dang] research
