No Tatum, No KP, no problem! 

 TP’s all around!!

It was close but we got the job done Tonite emphasizes how important KP is to this team

Going forward, I think they should play KP or Horford the first game of the B2B and the other on the 2nd. Not having both is tough…

Joe seems to have played it just right!

Rough night for the Kornet haters. Great game by Luke.

Kornet for MUP.

Most under-appreciated player.

He gets way too much hate on here even on a great night like tonight. People can't see how he's playing through the hate.

Pheeew!!

Two fantastic wins in a row!! Love this Celtics.

Glad for the win, but this home stand has been somewhat alarming.

White was huge tonight. I think it's fully clear that in close games the ball should always go in his hands right away to run the offense.

LUUUUUUUUUUUUUUKe

[Silas]

Luke played a great game...20pts,8rebs,3assists,and 3blks

We showed some grit tonight, Raptors came out and really started hitting shots in the 4th and we were just kind of coasting.  Got back on the horse and found a way to win.  I like it.

Two short handed wins. I'll take it!

I believe we get the best version of Horford if he plays as a back-up. So with a back-to-back I'd choose to play Porzingis in one game and start Kornet in the other. And let Horford play 20-25 minutes in each game. To me that fits a veteran like him better than play 37 minutes (like last night) in one game.

That’s true, Liam. However, you want to bet on Luke every game? I sure don’t.

Luke played a great game...20pts,8rebs,3assists,and 3blks

He was 9-11 from the field...

[Atzar]

JB with a great game except for the 7 turnovers.

Yeah, they threw a lot of traffic at JB.  With White and Jrue cold for most of the game, he was having to fight through a stacked defense and that doesn't always go well. 

He was still a major reason why we won this game though.  Our worst basketball of the night was when JB was on the bench to start the fourth.  Nearly lost the game in that stretch.  Glad we reeled it back in.
