Zomg you guys we won the hell out of another big game this is crazy!

Derrick White <3! Jayson Tatum! Jaylen Brown! KP and Jrue and Sam and Payton and other players and Luke Kornet!

Celts played a great 2nd half to pull away from the Bulls and get the win! Fun times!

Knicks Saturday, Go C's!

This was clearly a team win but love love loved D white tonight.

Kornet as the energy X factor even if Sam will have a mega shiner tomorrow

This win just confirms we’re the greatest professional sports team ever assembled. No one can stop us now.

D. White and every quarter but the 2nd were the best parts. Showing the league he deserved to be an all star.

Very professional 2nd half. Nice activity and finished with 10 steals and 11 blocks.

Brad Stevens masterclass. First Active game of X and Springer and we get a lot of steals and blocks

Derrick ‘not a top 100 player’ White.

Satisfying win, aside from the accidental concussion to Hauser.

What impressed me mostly aside from Buffalo's outstanding first quarter was how composed and mature our players were after the officiating in the first half which was blatantly unreasonable and overzealous. Last season and in previous years, some of our players and coaches would have (somewhat understandably) lost their cool and focus for the rest of the game .

No such issues today

The Jays cooked at times in the game we needed them the most.

Loved the glimpses we saw late from Tillman.

He deserves more minutes, esp in games where we rest/sit out Zinger.

And we extend our gap on top of the East.

A fine night overall.

So much for bad 3rd qtrs.

Derrick simply out of sight line - making 3s & blocking everything.
JT woke up in second half w 20 points - awesome line.
#7 very nice Q2 & then stated working on his TOV generation numbers in the second half.
Only real negative was KP getting outplayed & shooting poorly.
Sam & Pritch made their 3s.
Luke played well - aside from trying to fracture Hauser’s L maxilla.

MSG gonna be hot ticket on Sat.
Knicks think they are good.
Want that game!

White was amazing as usual.

Can we afford three max players?

Unarguable fact: The Celtics have five players who are either recent all-stars or Derrick White.
Almost-unarguable facts: The Celtics' fifth-best player is the best such in the league. That goes for their fourth-best as well.

Derrick White is our third best player. Who do you have as our fourth and fifth?

I think Tatum is a pretty clear first and Holiday a pretty clear fifth (so far). The other three can be argued in any order.

I went stocks and 3s. D when necessary gets a puff.

The way I rank our players is based on the form and consistency for the season thus far, and on that I have Derrick White as our 2nd performed played so far in 23/24 (which doesn't automatically mean he is our 2nd best player)

Anyhow it's a fantastic debate to have.
