Great to see them right the ship after that epic meltdown. Good composure down the stretch. This team looks for real

Celtics now 3rd in the conference. Wow! 

[Atzar]

Good win. 

Thought Queta was the player of the game in this one.  We couldn't keep the Raptors away from the rim in the minutes when he sat.  Life was miserable for the small ball squad.  When Queta was in, we got stops. 

Also, it's really, really fun that 30/8/5 on near-50% shooting is basically just an average game for JB nowadays.  He's playing his ass off.

I was catching up the whole game on tape - wish I?d been in the thread earlier. But wow - another terrific win. Loved White and JB - but huge hats off to Queta who played a lot of minutes (I think) and was essential in the second half.  Cs again let a team back but rallied and closed out nicely.  Q is a player.

great win.  wasn't so long ago this team wouldn't have held off the other team's charge and just collapsed down the stretch.  hoping they're learning from this how to pull out tough wins particularly on the road

Stevens has to get another big man at the deadline to pair with Queta in the frontcourt, and then once Tatum comes back in March we can absolutely make a run in *this year's* East

Fantastic win!

Amazing few games by the whole roster. Joe has them playing relentlessly defence and it is showing on the scoreboard. Call me crazy, but the way Walsh plays defensively is very reminiscent of Michael Jordan.

If the Celtics can keep this up, I cannot see how the Celtics front office would prevent Tatum from returning as soon as he feels ready.

Well, this is certainly more fun than tanking even if almost blowing that lead did nearly give me a heart attack.

[Neurotic Guy]

15-6 after the 0-3 start.  This team is a blast to watch. Contribution early from Walsh. Hugo comes in and scores a quick 5. Minott hits his open 3.  Sam hit a his threes. Cs continue to outplay expectations. Four guys who can create their own space, make shots and drive/finish. A bunch of maniacal defenders.  They are a top ten team in the league right now.  May not last, but it?s been great so far.

Yes. JT has to be chomping at the bit to get back. Can?t blame him, and I think you are right that no one?s gonna get in his way if the team keeps this up and if the doctors give it the OK.

I have yet to watch the game on replay, but wow! Another win!!

[SHAQATTACK]

Dang it all ,  I was cooking Dinner and forgot all about the game . 

Way to go Celtics

[vjcsmoke]

Celtics are beating the top teams now. Lakers, Raptors, it doesn't seem to matter who we play.

Very solid win against a top team in the Raptors on the road.

What an unexpected turn around for the Celtics. You love to see it!

[SparzWizard]

Celtics are the streak-busters this season. I'd be glad for them to take on that role. Take out all the top teams in the NBA
