    The ball movement from the starters was great, horford looks do much more comfortable at the 4 he's way more active on the boards and has played exceptional defense so far. Nice game by jaylen to bounce back after that slump. Once again rozier and smart gotta scale back their shot attempts so Tatum can get more looks he wasn't in rhythm but he still contributed with 11 boards

    Man we've needed a guy like theis for YEARS. 10 & 10 in 18 minutes we outrebounded the kings 52-26 dawg this upgraded size is so refreshing. S/O to semi hitting multiple 3's along with great defense ( so impressive he kept Fox in front of him) Ainge did great building the bench which concerned me initially. Huge test tomorrow against OKC

    Very impressive comeback and win last night. Morris look good for his first game. Team looks good so far and to think we have another 20 point scorer returning next season...

    The team defense and how much we frustrate and stifle the opposing offense has made this the most promising roster I've seen in years. Kyrie has done an amazing job at falling back and making sure everyone gets involved, his passings vastly superior to what was advertised.

    JB7 with 18 and 7 was great to see since he's been in a bit of a slump.

    This squad is exceeding my expectations so far. The fact that we defend and rebound at a high level along with the ball movement has me hella excited about this season. Atlanta tomorrow who will likely be tired as hell so we should take care of business

    Yeah chance for 9 in a row tonight. Brown has a great 1st step is a improving 3 point shooter, strong in the post already too. Gotta improve his free throws, handle and finishing around the basket at times but him and Tatum will be a potent duo a few years from now

    Would like to make it to that Warriors game on a 13 game win streak, we’re not losing tomorrow but Hornets/Raptors/Nets will be a tough stretch

    Yabu even got minutes at first just to hack Dwight which he forgot to do one time that had Brad snapping on him, but he was in that lineup with Larkin that went on a run to get us back and Brad let him cook for a bit, he had a nice block that got called for a foul but it was clean the refs were as bad as they have been all year last night, if Yabu got enough minutes I think he would be a regular on Shaqtin a fool he’s untentionally funny like a big little kid out there

    I know you feel like I'm bullying smart, but he almost shot us out the game last night. 29% from the field 1-8 last night and 3 turnovers. Dude is becoming a huge problem on offense. Don't give me the plus minus and winning plays ? , cuz joe Harris, crabbe, and levert ate last night. He REALLY needs to tone down the shot attempts. He took 1 less shot then Tatum in more minutes and finished with 6 points. I'm not "hating" but I have a major issue with a ? shooting 29% and being 3rd on the team in shot attempts

    I got the game recorded, ima let you cook I’ve said all I have to say about Smart, when my name gets brought up every time he has a bad shooting night ima leave it at this, “I’m inclined to believe Brad Stevens knows what he’s doing”

    I'm not questioning Stevens I just have an issue with smart's shot selection and turnovers all season

    His improvement is remarkable, we definitely need to give him a nickname. Strong on both ends only thing he has to improve on is free throws. Hes shooting 64% and that's holding him back if he can get to the 80% range with his aggression hes definitely a future all star

    Damn it feels good to be a Celtics fan but we know the Cavs will be a bit more potent once IT returns for them. We'll see what other moves the Celtics can make to improve though. Still feel like we lack size and depth even if it's a PG first league now.

    Btw Kyrie is just a pitBull in the closing minutes. He's either gonna drive through and make the shot or get the call. Just fearless and nearly unstoppable. Ice water in his veins.

    Jaylen Brown was lethal in creating his own shot. He was the main reason the Celtics could keep the game within reach for the comeback on Thursday night.

    I missed the Hawks game but it seems like he did damage in that game also going by his stats.

    Sixteen...the bench needs to step the ? up. They need to step up on offense. I see why we're rated so low offensively. It's not because of the starters.
