Sixers (21-34) at Celtics (36-19) Game #56 2/15/17

I hope this is a sign of things to come for James Young. In the modern NBA, there's no such thing as too many decent wings.

With this win, the Celtics can now play .500 ball the rest of season and still reach 50 wins.  This is a really good team.

Smart, Olynyk, Brown and of course IT have all raised their games significantly.

I,luv Smarts head game ....mess n with opponents

He must have got personal tips from. Y favorite player of all time

KG !

I feel like Smart IS KG in a PG's body.

this is what i said in his rookie year. you can just see the focus and crazy desire to win.

That's the core.

Good win.  This team is fun to watch right now. 

James Young looks like he actually deserves minutes.  I don't know that he has a long-term future with the Celtics simply because of our depth on the wing, but I do think he stays in the NBA somewhere.

He's looked like a lesser version of Gerald Green on O (with superior D) the past few games. If he proves to be more consistent than Green he might be able to steal his spot in the rotation

James Young is Younger than Marcus Smart, Mickey and Rozier.

I'm impressed with Youngs willingness to mix it up. With the bigs and get a rebound , not stand around an watch

He's young, and he always will be.

[SHAQATTACK]

I'm missing. Brown .  His length and speed really cause issues for most guys .

and bradley and brown are injured. should be a good second half to the season.

What's the actual number of games that we've played with our full rotation? It wouldn't surprise me in the least if we were missing at least one top-8 rotation member for greater than 75% of our games this season so far.

[Fireworks_Boom!]

James Young has been really impressive lately. If he can get confidence and start to drive the lane like he did in college lookout.

Props to Ko too for very solid play lately. You know whats great about this team is that there are no egos and everyone is playing their role. It's so incredibly fun to watch them night in night out.

[bello_man09]

didn't watch the game, seems young is even playing better than Rozier now. hes like a catch and shoot wing that plays defense and rebounds.

[colincb]

We were way too loose with the ball. 24 turnovers, outrebounded by 8, -20 points in the paint, gave up a season high in fastbreak points, defense sucked for 3 quarters, only had 21 assists, and yet we won. Fortunately we were playing one of the worst teams in the NBA (who will be in the Finals next season though and will be better than us 2 years out no doubt).

Smart had another great game. Young had his third straight decent game and KO continued his recent strong play. IT4 had a meh 33 points.

Saric played well, Noel is great within two feet of the basket, Okafor is awful, and we caught Covington on one of his better nights.

[mctyson]

It was an awful game, very sloppy, but a lot of that had to do with Philly's play.  They scrapped and were active defensively.

Saric was very impressive.  Next to Embiid he is easily the best player on that roster.

Yeah, if he actually starts to continue to play this well and be a decent bench player, he's a much better fit with Smart than Rozier. He's a good rebounder for his position, too. You can tell he has a knack for where the ball is going to come off the rim.
