Great turnaround with JT on the bench and kept it going when he returned. Q, Sam, and PP.  Yes, the 3?s started to fall and it did make a difference.  Stepping up the D also has made a difference.   Go to the hoop JT.

More officiating arbitrariness. Ant just yells at the ref and swings his arm at him, which is something that JT regularly gets called for a T on.

If you had Queta clowning Gobert on your bingo card for this first half, take a bow.

Good first half by celtics.

Queta is balling!

At some point you have to blame the performance on the court on the players on the court. Every loss is not the coach's fault and every win isn't because of the players.

Back to wanting Joe fired.

Who would have guessed Q would be leading the team at +17 with a strong 11 minutes.

But the threes only started falling once we started going inside and mixing up the offense, as well as more playmaking. It got us better looks because the defense had to play us more honest and not just stay tight to contest the shot. The first quarter we were mostly throwing up poor pull up threes.

We're definitely still chucking some of those threes in the second quarter, but they were mixed in with better quality threes.

Has to be one of the best quarters of the season there.  Lioved the smothering D.

Don't think they're counting that Queta shot.  ESPN scoreboard says 62 at halftime.
