Celtics (51-19) at Trail Blazers (32-39) Game #71 3/23/25

[Silas]

I love Tatum but he's gotta cool it on harassing the refs, man.  It's no wonder he gets a rough whistle.  He's yelling at one ref or another after every single play.  Dude makes a shot with nobody near him and he still has something to say.

He gets no respect from the refs.

He gets no respect from the refs.

Perhaps because he GIVES no respect TO the refs. 

This is every game.  Guys get reputations.  It's clear at this point that his is a negative one.

Ball don't lie on that technical.

[Goldstar88]

Nice shorth-handed win. TP?s all around!

[jpotter33]

Hilarious that they call that T with 20 seconds left and a 13 point game 

[Silas]

Another great road win without 3 starters.

[Atzar]

Good short-handed win.  Portland has quietly been bringing teams a fight.  Had won four straight.  We walked in their house with half of our team and won comfortably anyway.

[Silas]

JT just missed the trip doub....30/9/9 plus 1steal and 2blocks.

[Silas]

TPs for those who showed up and hung around for the win.

Can?t fault him though. I bet it?s really frustrating for him. TPs all!

A win-win. C's win, and I made great money on a same game parlay which also included a bunch of Blazers players (shoutout Avdija, Sharpe, Scoot and Camara) 

I will say, Portland is a fun team to watch. They play hard to the end and I respect that. I really hope they make the play-in over Dallas and Phoenix, that'd be cool to see.

Well played Celtics!  Loving the production of Sam and Luke.  Craig and Scheierman showing they can play meaningful minutes if needed in the playoffs. Need to play Baylor a lot down the stretch. More minutes, more readiness, and if he continues to play well, more value in the off-season. Tatum is just terrific.   Not to mention DW and PP and Al doing what they do.

Really sucks. Glad he got paid, though. This most recent surgery was on his right knee. He?s had two surgeries on the left.
