Crap call on the Tatum strip.

[Atzar]

No idea why we have Hauser trying to pick up full court. 

[Silas]

Nice quarter from the starters...

[Roy H.]

Weird:  it's possible to score without jacking up 10 - 15 FTAs in a quarter?

Nice start.

For all the debates about "Tatum's toughness" and other things, I'm sorry but the standard he is reffed by is way way different than the likes of SGA, Brunson, etc. Guys can hack him all day and nothing. If he got SGA's whistle he'd be putting up monster numbers too

[Surferdad]

Ohhhh - interesting! Joe went back to the old rotation of taking JT out first and leaving Brown in for the whole second.

Good adjustment by Joe. This should help the fourth quarter woes, as well as allow Brown to get going earlier. There was no reason to switch that rotation up from the get-go.

Glad to see that adjustment. I just hope JT+bench can work as a lineup. It has not always been successful.

[Neurotic Guy]

22 yeas old. He is scary.

[Vermont Green]

5 for 5 from 3. Now that is efficiency.

Can't let the bad officiating get into your heads Celtics. Never saw Bird arguing with a ref.

[Neurotic Guy]

Wish I thought the 5 three attempts was a sign.

[jpotter33]

These refs need to settle down and let these guys play the dang game.

[Phantom255x]

That's actually insane. To go from jacking up 50 3s a night... to just 5 in one single quarter? 

[Phantom255x]

Effort level is way better than recent games

[Atzar]

A couple of slick finishes at the rim by Tatum. 

[jpotter33]

What a finish by JT.
