I really hope that Joe does not try a similar lineup in the 2nd half with Queta + Walsh.  That unit looked very clunky on offense.  Stagnant.

Can't expect Detroit to keep shooting the ball this poorly.

Why not?  Cs did it against Memphis.

What a finish by JB.

[Silas]

JB is having a real nice game...+24

[liam]

Much better when we play faster...

How is this not a good situation to give Tillman some floor time ?

[hwangjini_1]

just joining the game and the score looks good to me.

a tp for letting me know if there is anything of note, aside from winning.

[SCeltic34]

Kornet is absolutely killing Detroit.

[Indocelts]

PP pushing the ball is always fun to watch.

JB, PP, and KP dominating....especially JB with a +31

Celts with only 6 turnovers - 3 of them from Brown.

Scal went on this diatribe earlier about fans not giving credit to Jaylen when he makes a difficult move with the dribble that results in a basket. He goes on to say that Brown attempts more difficult dribbling attacks than most players would and then gets blamed for the turnover. Well, numb-nuts, that's the point. Attempting lots of difficult ball-handling moves trying to score is just dumb basketball. I've said a hundred times that Brown's ball handling skills are very good. He simply dribbles into heavy defensive traffic too often.

[tenn_smoothie]

Still no Tillman with a 25-point lead.
Does Joe have a personal dislike for the guy ?

[Silas]

PP is amazing.

[Donoghus]

Celtics not making the Emirates Cup playoffs could very well turn into a major blessing.  Laugher tonight and hopefully another one Sunday against a crap Wizards team.

If Celtics get the one seed by a game or two, you can very well point to this fortuitous stretch

I agree.  I'm glad we didn't make it.  Easier schedule.  Better not making it to the Finals and playing a meaningless extra game for a IST that doesn't matter.  The season is grueling enough.  I want any and all advantages to get our players through the season more easily and with more rest.
