Celts Forget How To Shoot, Still Beat That Sixers Ass! Victory Cigar vs PHI 2/27

Post #1 » by **bisme37** » Wed Feb 28, 2024 2:58 am

Crikey you guys we won another big game this is getting downright nutty!

Jays and KP led the scoring and Jrue and Al were big tonight too!

C's really struggled from 3 tonight and were sloppy with the ball and a bit sluggish in the 1st half. But they picked it up and put together a couple great runs in the 2nd half to get the win. Not the prettiest game but the 4th quarter was fun (JT takeover!) and it's always nice to get the win over Philly haha.

Mavs Friday, Go C's!

An 18 point win is always nice but I wouldn't put much stock in this game since beating Philly without a healthy Embiid, Maxey and Harris is pretty much a none-starter for me. Still, it's always nice when Jaylen shoots 11-14 with 6 boards, great to see Porzingis get 12 rebounds for a change (even without the Big Guy on the other side), and always nice to see a solid all-around game by Jrue.

Oh, and Tatum was smokin' too.

Went KP. Sixers had no answer for him.

JT/JB.

JB has his warts but he also is trying to be better with his game so I can forgive the mistakes for sure, he had a pretty good game overall.

It felt like they won by the right amount but did it the wrong way.

We're getting hot instead of fading down the stretch. I wanna see how many wins they can squeeze out.

KP is the solution to our can’t win when the three isnt falling problem. So I went with him

Also, having Jrue is such a blessing, thank you Milwaukee

The players pretty much phoned it until the final 6 or minutes of the final quarter, which was gratifying.

Can't afford to play like that though against legit contenders like the surging Bucks

Both Jays were awesome

I voted DWhite for his 30 minute 6/6/6 +30 line

Was one steal and one turnover away from a 30 min 6/6/6/3/3/3 +30

edit, he also shot 33%

So much for the stat that said if Cs shoot lower than 33% the Cs usually lose.

The Cs are not just a 3pt shooting team anymore.

JB still has moments where his brain lags, but his power game is great.

Reminds me of the style of play of Shawn Kemp.

And the Celtic defense is great too!

White just plays the right way. He can have a stinker like anyone but he usually plays the way the game needs him to. Thank you Brad and DW (his parents too)!

Good W overall VS a team without its dick.

Positives - Outrebounded them by about 30, great inside scoring, made about 20 more FTs.
Negatives - TOV & horrible 3 point shooting.

7 VERY VERY fine on O - A/TOV = 1/4 as is the case too often. He giveth & he taketh.
MVP just missed a 30 point trip dub & DOMINATED Q4.
KP was excellent!
Jrue solid.
Derrick only 6 points but the rest of his line was OFF THE CHARTS 6-6-2-3-2!

46-12

Now a test of how really good we are between Fri 3/1 & Sat 3/9.
Luka & Dip **** Dick, then Steph, then Donovan, then Nicola & Jamaal, then Kevin, Devin & Bradley.
Beat them all.
Close well.
Put it all together.

CELTICS!

As exepected, the Sixers were no match for the still undefeated Springer/Tillman big two.

The next five games are going to define the Celtics season and Jayson Tatum's career and Brad's tenure as POBO. And the fate of humankind.

22 3pt attempts, 52 2pt attempts, and a lot of drawn fouls as well.

Looks like the Cs adapted pretty well to the choices the defense gave them.

I think you’re underselling it

Yeah I mean is the universe going to expand infinitely into a cosmic rip, or collapse in on itself in a “Big Crunch”?

These **** games MATTER, people!!

I’m voting “team” fairly indiscriminately these days, including tonight. I thought Tatum, for his great stat line, played kind of like ass. KP, JB, and JH would get my actual votes.

But regardless of individual performance I appreciate this gift of a win that the Celtics franchise has slaughtered and left at my feet; let the holy yellow rains fall and wash away the unworthy competitors, so shall it be!

I went team/other/the environment. Nice of the Cs to conserve energy and only flip the switch on when needed to get the W.

Who smokes the big cigar?
