Hard choice.

Given no JO and the understandable let down that tonight might have presented I'll go with the road win.

Unbelievable!
Yup

Tonight by far. Missing 3 starters and coming back from a 27-point deficit. This for me is the best and most exciting win since the first year of the big three. This was unbelievable. It is hard for me to believe that Orlando won't fire Van Gundy. These two losses have to be an embarrassment to the entire organization.

Its not even close for me.

Monday could have been attributed to a horribly off night by the Magic. But to be down 27, then come back and win by 8 on the road? SMH...

I don't even have the words right now.

The win tonight was the most impressive I have seen since Game Four of the 2008 Finals. It rivals the 2003 Game Three comeback against the Nets in that ECF.

But it goes to show you that this is a crazy season of extremes.

We need to go beat Indiana tomorrow night and make this beautiful piece of basketball have teeth.
The beatings will continue until morale improves

I took the home game.  We held Orlando to a franchise-low 56 points.  The comeback was awesome to watch, but it wasn't historic like the first game.

They need to fire Otis Smith too.
No question tonight is the most impressive. I didn't even want to watch because the comments on here made me embarrassed, but the fact that we were down 27, not at home, AND we were without  three starters and we still won by 8 was amazing.
Whatever they have going on I hope they keep it coming even when the players come back.

eta:To add to it Doc was trending on twitter and almost if not everyone on there said he out coached Stan this game because they were not supposed to be in this.

I predicted we'd be down over 20 , but I didn't think without Rondo and Ray and JO we could win it.

AWESOME VICTORY !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hands down TONIGHT...this was CELTICS BB, fighting and never say die.

Both were out of the blue and totally unexpected. Different players stepped up. Sasha and Bradley in the first and Moore in the Second. Garnett and Pierce impressive in both.
