Tough, gritty win on the road.

I hope DW?s injury isn?t that serious.

What injury, I missed it.

Sore foot

Foot injury, it didn?t sound serious because he was doubtful to return not ruled out so hopefully he won?t miss any time

Why did they stop going to Pritchard.

Because Chicago is sticking to him like glue now, lol.

He's been open on one possession since his explosion - a transition play where Tatum went to the rim instead (he got fouled and went to the line).  It's not like we just randomly froze him out.

You can run play actions to free up a player...

Thanks PP!

 They were trapping him and leaving other players open so they went to those other players

The Celtics shot 52 threes yet still got to the foul line 23 times. That tells me they're not complacent going to the paint. They can play an inside outside game all day long.

Q had a nice few minutes. 

[Goldstar88]

29pts in 29mins for Pritchard.

He's the Danny Ainge of this Celtics team.

OK, thanks. Let him rest, play Pritchard. ........................ and Tillman and Queta !!!!

Hey Joe, you are gonna play the starters into the ground.
Did you not notice how Pritchard and Hauser improved significantly once they had consistent minutes ?
Same for the big guys.

[Silas]

Tatum with another dominant performance.   

[SHAQATTACK]

PP stepped up star level.   Scoring like IT use to.

And the defense is allowed to guard those plays.

He was very involved down the stretch.  Again; we did not freeze him out.  Chicago locked in on him because he was winning the game by himself.  But the fact that Jrue suddenly heated up was not a coincidence, because at least one of his late makes was due to Chicago overplaying PP.
