Everyone feeling better now or should we still be panicking?

[Boston Garden Leprechaun]

I mean, this just kind of highlighted our main issue - we don't give consistent effort and intensity. We've shown that we're as good as anyone in the league when engaged, but we just don't consistently give that type of effort and intensity.

Perhaps this won't matter in the playoffs, when we seemingly should be engaged every game against top competition. But regardless, that's a terrible habit that is not indicative of a true championship-level team.

Watch, we'll probably get blown out by the Pistons at home tomorrow now 

right harry and us not doing that will cost us in our seeding and home court which COULD be our downfall this year then we will wish we had taken every team seriously oh well. guess we will see

We panic every loss

It's so true. This is the most emotionally fragile fanbase in the league.

Perhaps you should take a look over at Liberty Ballers.

This is the same with every team, especially teams with expectations. Sports fandom isn't necessarily an exercise in the rational. lol

At least the Sixers fans have a legit beef. They just can't seem to get a win against us. Then the whole Tatum/Fultz debacle probably wakes them up in the middle night.

But around here? Sheesh. I get it - the 10-10 start was rough, but we've had a good team since. You come here sometimes and it's like we're a lottery team.

Dang, they lost the #1 pick, AND THE SAC PICK!

The Lakers are about to lose their #2 pick, too.

[CelticSooner]

The regular season is the regular season. If guys start playing selfish in the playoffs they’ll be sitting on the bench soon after. How about Hayward tonight tho?!

Splash Gordon!

[Erik]

Super hopeful that Hayward can continue being this aggressive. He was attacking every time he touched the ball. It setup a lot of hockey assists. It also seemed like he was the first option to create offense on broken plays.

[rocknrollforyoursoul]

Very good game by Boston tonight, and it was especially great to see Gordon shoot so well. Of course, we've seen this before with Boston—beat a high-quality team, then turn right around and lose to a chump team, so I'm not getting my title hopes up yet. I want to see them sustain this level of intensity and focus.

And as others have pointed up, NOT having this focus against lesser teams has been perhaps Boston's biggest problem this season, and though they won't be facing any bad teams in the playoffs, their frequent lack of focus during the regular season will cost them in playoff seeding and home-court advantage.

[Chris22]

76er fans are scared. Read their boards lol

They should be. Brad just wrote the book on how to expose their defensive weaknesses.

[ozgod]

Just wondering.

We will be back to panicking as soon as we lose another game 

nope. DEPENDS HOW BRAD COACHES AND IF WE RESPOND with any discipline

It's ironic that Philly fans can't understand why we want to get rid of Brad though. I guess we would still take Brad over Brett Brown?

[celticsclay]

Incredible win nick. Thanks for posting this

[SparzWizard]

The entire eastern conference (particularly Toronto and Milwaukee) should be on high alert again of Boston after they witnessed Gordon Hayward going off at Philadelphia.

Yes, I believe when the Celtics Big 3 (Irving/Horford/Hayward) are ON, they can win at home or in any arena.

That being said, I hope they pummel the Lakers into oblivion in LA. C's were to supposed to sweep them this year.

[trickybilly]

The Lakers game stung, but Lakers hit a franchise record in 3's.

Clippers game was a little worse, but again, Clippers went redhot - we went ice cold.

Mook's comments are the most concerning thing to happen since about December, but wouldn't be surprised if he really steps up and plays a more leading veteran role himself, and this whole locker room thing goes away.
