TPs for a good win an for those who stayed up to enjoy the game.

[SCeltic34]

That's the kind of 4th quarter we were putting together last year.  Good win after playing below our caliber for a lot of the game.

3-1 on a tough road trip.   excellent.

TPs for everyone

Good game and great win. We can actually win a game with less but better quality 3s.

TPs all.

Love hearing the "Let's go Celtics" chants.

Also - good to see that we've went back to unlocking the KP mismatch in the post strategy. Really feel like this is the first time I've seen it used regularly in a game this season since KP came back. Think that's going to be key for us moving forward.

Joe knew it would be a mismatch with Jokic out.

Well, good win and overall road trip. Going 3-1 against 3 of the top 4 in the West on the road is an excellent road trip, even if the OKC ending/loss still stings a little.

Got a softer stretch coming up, so hopefully we can take advantage of it.

Still does seem like we're missing a piece and our rotations are funky. Some of that is the injuries and absences, but another bench scoring wing would be helpful.

TPs all.

Was there ever any doubt about that?  Chucking a ton of 3s is a choice not necessity with the players on this team.

Also - probably KP's best game back this year thus far. Excellent offensively and provided some good rim protection.

That said, he has been taken advantage of some out on the perimeter, some of which is playing a lot of double big giving multiple opportunities to get stuck on faster perimeter players. Really think we need to find a different bench rotation, particularly when Tatum is on the bench.

In his post game interview with Abby, he said exactly the same thing - this was his best game so far, and he?s slowly rounding into form.

Nice win !

No Jokic and Aaron Gordon, but got the job done in Denver.

Nice, 3-1 on this trip

Anyone see KP postgame reacting with the many C's fans in Denver last night?

Man he loves this organization and the fans lol. It'd be cool if he wanted to take a discount to stay here beyond 2026.

Fair, but we didn't have D. White either.

He has been around and finally found a team that plays like he always thought teams would or should .  He might want to finish out where he is popular and won a title.
