Celtics (33-10) at Mavericks (24-18) Game #44 1/22/24

[Silas]

Good win without KP and White with a bad game.

[RJ87]

Let this game be a reminder that we have stars that aren't afraid to get after it on defense.

It's a joy to watch.

The next five games are tough. When will our sked lighten up??

After January it lightens up considerably the rest of the season in terms of competition strength. After tonight the rest of the way our frequency of games versus rest is significantly improved. I think tonight was game 11 in 18 days or something like that, which is crazy. And you can tell it, too.

Nice Win, Good to see Tatum bury the free throws at the end as well.

Luka and Kyrie got totally abused on defense by the Celtics tonight. Hardaway Jr. too.

Has Kyrie won a game against us since he rubbed his foot on Lucky?

Very visible difference tonight.  JB and JT are plus defenders, Kyrie and Luka are not.  Ballgame.

kyrie has never ever been a defender

many brought that up here when we had him

G Williams with a nothing burger.

couldn’t join the thread during the game but wanted to pop in and say that was a quality win. nice to see the team play disciplined ball for four quarters. a few times i was worried they were reverting to the three-ball mentality but, to their credit, they quickly returned to the strategy of attacking luka and kyrie on offense and playing tough defense.

Exactly the habits that need to become permanent.
If the players, coaches and management can't see this, they are blind.
So straight-forward for a good team to become even better.

They shot 46 3pt shots at 32%.

Great win! I know people will say it was a meaningless one in the overall scheme of things but it still made me feel good to know we won  Super late TPs for all!

Missed most of the 2nd half live but watched it this morning. Very nice win after a little bit of a slow start. Now 2 days off before getting the Heat and the Heat will be on a back 2 back.
