Celts Put A Fork In New York! Victory Cigar vs NYK 2/24

[bisme37]

Lol you guys the Knicks tried to beat us but we whooped that ass!

Jaylen Brown was cooking and the C's Big 6 all crushed it tonight!

JT, JB, KP, Jrue, Derrick and Al are just too damn good! And our bench ain't too shabby either haha.

Celtics have won 8 in a row and now have an 8 game lead in the East. Because they're the bestest!

Sixers Tuesday, Go C's!

Went team, entire starting 5 played near flawless

[djFan71]

Team since I didn’t wanna think. Fun game.

[Parliament10]

Top 6 in Double Figures.

Bring on the Playoffs.

[Bar Fight]

Solid W

I thought we played a really good game from start to finish. We played well in the first half too but the offensive rebounds kept them close. JB was great, but I think the whole team was really good and locked in. Nice start to this tough stretch of schedule

[Jammer]

Pretty scrappy game most of the way. Every lead kept disappearing due to Brunson, Hart, DiVencenzo and Hartenstein's persistence. Finally finished the Knicks off, who were down 3 starters (Randle, Anunoby and Robinson !). Still wondering if the Celtics can handle a fully healthy Philadelphia or fully healthy Knicks, but this year they may not have to face a fully healthy super team until the NBA FInals. These games where every Celtic shot is falling are not the worry. It's the punching matches that go down to the wire that worry me.

An alternative view:

Pts + Rebounds + (0.5 x Assists) + Steals + (0.5 x Blocks) - Missed Field Goals - (0.5 x Missed Free Throws) - Turnovers - (0.5 x Fouls)

+26.5 Jaylen Brown 34 minutes
+22 Kristaps Porzingis 32 minutes

+17.5 Derrick White 32 minutes
+16.5 Jayson Tatum 43 minutes
+14.5 Al Horford 26 minutes
+11.5 Jrue Holiday 35 minutes

+8.5 Sam Hauser 10 minutes
+4 Luke Kornet 9 minutes

+2 Payton Pritchard 14 minutes
0 J. Springer 1 minute

Brown and Porzingis were both in sync tonight, but White, Tatum, Horford and Hauser were excellent and Holiday does a lot more than seen in the box score with his pick setting, help defense, on ball defense and overall calming effect on the offense.

JB gets VC.

KP for CP for those 3 triples in the 2nd half.

I wanna give a shout out to a man most responsible for this team and their winning..

Brad Stevens assembled a near perfect starting 5 Who have such perfect fit and talent together.. Tonight with some help from the bench rotating in our starters Look like they've been playing Together for years..

Brad Stevens may be the GOAT executive..

[doogie_hauser]

One of my favourite wins of the season. Jaylen was probably our best player, but I gave my vote to KP, was just so fun watching him demolish the souls of the Knicks fans in the 2nd half !

Jrue was quietly excellent as well I thought !

8 wins in a row ! Let's go Green Machine

You're forgetting that Brad the GOAT also hired the coach.

Everybody here wanted a coach not named Joe Mazzulla.

But Brad being the GOAT that he is, went the other way and hired his boy Joe.

[Tyakack]

Very solid win. Fun game to watch.

[Fierce1]

Cs are close to becoming a well oiled machine.

I'd say they're at 80%.

Hopefully they're at 100% when the playoffs come.

JT making the right reads and players making the extra pass is a good sign.

Starting to feel like 2008 again.

[fallguy]

I've officially seen all I need of the regular season.

Gonna be a long six weeks.

[exculpatory]

TEAM

EVERYBODY EXCELLENT
7 hot first half
JT magnificent second half
KP opened the spread in Q3
Al, Derrick & Jrue solid as a rock
Bench excellent

Negatives:
O rebounding by the Knicks was embarrassing
If not for those O rebounds, we win by 30

All that said, Brunson is a beast, & a series VS Brunson, Randle & OG - & lots of good back ups would be scrappy

45-12

Next 6 will take some excellent play - Sixers, Doncic, Curry at H, & then Cavs, Nuggets & Suns on the road.

SWEEP THEM ON THE WAY TO 70-12 season!

CELTICS

[Fierce1]

Credit the bench also.

NY really never gained anything when guys like PP and Hauser were in there.

JT played 43 minutes and only 15 FG attempts.

This is maturity.
