JT got fouled on a three as Valen took out his feet undercutting him ... 3 shots and the ball. RWill gets his 3rd block and JB with a pretty pass to RWill for the hammer!
35-19 C's Sweet!!!...

Grant with the block and Gordo to the rim on the other end ...
Gordon deserves hella more respect...not for dunking but for facilitating and bring veteran presence to this young team...supposedly this Kemba guy was supposed to do that but maybe we will have to wait to the end of his contract just like Hayward...Hayward had better sign a home town discount extension or I am going to have to trash his arse...

JT 29 points in 29 minutes. My favorite Celtic after Larry Bird was Paul Pierce. But Jayson Tatum is already showing he's better than Pierce and looking like he's on the same level as Larry Bird. So let's see if Tatum will be the one who ends up leading the Celts to Banner 18 and more. Wholy crap...too much to discuss/agree upon there.. we are simpatico!!!...how did that happen?...be good....

I agree. That's why I said on the same level as Bird, not better than Bird. Hopefully we can revisit the conversation in 3 rings. One ring would be a heck of a start!!!...

Cant put anyone on the same level as Bird. Tatum will be good perhaps great but Hayward is our best overall player and he has been the Cs most consistent and celtics mvp of the bubble.

Our wins have a common denominator, great passing. Thats it. Its a beauty to watch when this team passes the ball. When we dont, we beat ourselves.

Playoffs start next week. Let's see what happens. No doubt Hayward has been very good in the bubble, but for the Celts to go far in the playoffs, Tatum has to rise to the occasion.

Tatum or any other will have to step up as Hayward will be leaving the bubble. I take that kemba will be the one picking up the slack. Not saying he is better than the other two but just a mere guess.

So let's see if Tatum will be the one who ends up leading the Celts to Banner 18 and more. Agree on Tatum > Pierce. However I would not mention Tatums name in the same sentence as Larry Birds.....yet. Larry did so much more for this team than Tatum is currently doing. E.g. TOUGHNESS and LEADERSHIP. Larry fought Dr J, went toe to toe with Kareem, played with a broken back, and always spoke up when the team needed it. Tatum is no where near that level of toughness and leadership......yet. Like you, I do believe he will get there.

Let's not forget that today's NBA is different.
So I think it's going to be about how many championships Tatum can win with the Celts.

Another great game. Does this mean we get a lottery pick now? LOL. Ja i the real deal. Wow, what a player. RWill is coming on and should replace Kanter, IMO, soon. We are about 7 deep counting Hayward. I think Kanter, RWill, Wanamaker, GWill and Romeo will all get serious looks off the bench. If Hayward is out, obviously Smart will start, which weakens the bench.............so glad basketball is back!!

Where did you hear that Hayward will be leaving the bubble? he said somewhere along the lines that for him is an easy decision once the baby is born and that decision is to be with his newborn. I dont know the details of ehat happens when someone leaves the bubble voluntarily and whether they can comeback or not.

His game needs improvement in a few areas but he is young. He will get it. I love how we have played lately, sharing the ball. When we do that, we look unbeatable. That memphis team was a hungry one and we made them look like rookies.

Let's hold the phone. Paul Pierce averaged over 25 ppg for 3 seasons in a row at ages 23,24,25. I fully acknowledge tatum is on his way and has been playing at an elite level the last half of this season, but The Truth was a legend for years and won some average teams playoff games when he was young. He was also putting up around 7 boards, and almost 2 steals per game. He was a better defender than Tatum will probably ever be. I am a firm believer that Jaylen Brown is this teams best player. 1. JB 2. Tatum. 3 Hayward 4. Smart 5. Kemba
