He's always sucked as an analyst. But his takes on the Celtics this year have been flat out treasonous. Hope NBC Boston never brings him back

He can say whatever he wants about the Celtics but I thought the Mazzulla bird brain comment was disrespectful.

The Celtics are really freakin good you guys! Another game where the other team hung around for a while but then the C's decided to go nuclear and blew right past them. Fun!

Warriors Sunday, Go C's!

No one on the Mavs team was a plus in +/-. No one on the Cs was a negative.

Wonder how many times that's happened in the past. Won't enjoy the weekend until I find out.

Luka is way more skilled than Tatum. But oh man is he useless on D. I think he should lose a few pounds...he looked gassed

“Why isn’t Tatum averaging over 30 like Luka!!”

Maybe Tatum realizes that the Celtics are at their best when everyone is involved on offense? Team basketball has always led to championship. Those stars who hog the ball play for stats never win.

Excellent team W.
Out assisted them by 13 & shot almost 50% from 3.

#7 excellent excellent.
JT was non-existent in Q1 w 2 points & 4 TOV, picked it up in Q2, was MAGNIFICENT in Q3 after we let them get within 2 & finished w 32-8-3 & 5-9 from 3. Great D.
Zinger shot the lights out in the first half & great line.
Jrue & Derrick were super solid as always on both ends, & both w 3 threes.
Al great D & 12-8.
Pritch made his 3s.

Doncic’s trip dub was empty & Kyrie the mental midget was less than ordinary.

10 in a row.
47-12

Now 4 tough games in a row.
Let’s start with REVENGE VS the Stephies on Sunday in front of the world on ABC.

Ask Dick Lipe

Mavs badly need a big body in the paint. Jokic must eat these guys up, if KP is making such easy work.

Good to see some X man minutes

Tatum really has leveled up this season even if the stats don't show it. I remember when Pierce started letting the game come to him and the difference it made in his game, I see the same thing in Tatum only he's hitting that point a few years younger.

I'm with everyone who is impressed by Tillman. Brad is running a masterclass.

Remember when we thought 37-12 was a good record. We were so young and naive.

Helps that Brad has put the perfect cast around Tatum.

Thank god Kyrie isn’t here anymore

VC for Tatums second half performance.

Brown had some good moments and stepped up on Luka (despite getting cooked) at the right time. What i struggle with is the 55% shooting which is great, but the 45% shots missed each one of them are soul snatching, rushed iso turnaround nonsense or pull ups out of the flow of the offense despite the stats its hard to unsee those.

The Luka criticism is laughable, as if we didn't watch a one man band tonight cook every single one of our premier defenders, 'empty stat' crash the offensive boards on our bigs, run some beautiful fast breaks to get guys like his rookie centre easy lobs and defer to kyrie even when it meant watching him spin into traffic for contested shots whilst Pritchard was marking him on the perimeter. Yeah defensively that might take a toll on you, maybe.

The difference couldnt be more stark than watching JT sleep walk through the 1st half with the rest of our guys picking up the slack to lead, and then see him have the benefit of playing himself into a rhythm in the 2nd with 1 v 1 coverage against kyrie or open 3 point heaves where Dallas had no option to help due to our other threats. It's a completely different playing field.

Regardless, great win havent felt as good about the team in a long time,biggest challenge going forward is maintaining this through the dog days of the season, coming up soon.

The Celtics have forgotten how to lose.
