Obviously they need to win the title, but that doesn’t diminish anything in the present.

Bruins fans were saying the same thing last year.....

Should also say the Phoenix Suns Fans circa 2020-2021 too. Then they traded for that final piece KD and look where they are now....

If they're incredibly stupid, maybe. He shoots over 70% from the line, so that's over 1.4 ppp.

Why would anyone think that's a good strategy?

Feels likes he’s been shooting like Shaq the last two months.

We lose this by 15+ if they did.

Simple fact, we are a first round exit.

Against top 8 teams (7-6):
4-pt loss
6-pt loss
2-pt loss
OT win
OT loss
3-pt win
blowout loss
3-pt win
blowout win
blowout loss
7-pt win
9-pt win
6-pt win

So other than the blowout win vs. a Kawhi-less Clippers, we haven't had a double-digit win vs. a top team. Hope that's enough practice for the playoffs.

JT 8 points in the last 2 minutes of the 4th.

JB made FTs when it mattered most.

Good sign.

Celtics far from perfect, but they're slowing closing in on perfection.

13 games to go.

It’s funny that Bucks fans are more focused on the late comebacks & not the fact they’ve been down 20+ in 2 of the games they’ve played against us lol

Well, they really don't have to worry about being down by 20 against these Celtics since this team has no problem giving up big leads.

So much negativity towards the cs here.

They won a game in march when they could have folded
Without jrue
Without a secondary bench scorer in Sam
With KP rounding back into form
JT having a brain fart quarter
Bucks getting white hot in the 4th
Refs wanting a close finish game.
Celtics trying a few new things


And they still won.

But the pattern of looking great playing the tomato cans of the league and struggling against better teams should worry any Celtics fan.


Exactly this. Still couldn’t crack a zone either. But hey they won and they will beat Detroit by 35 next game so the green goggles crew won’t care much.

I honestly thought they played fine against the zone, just went cold. They had a bunch of clean looks and didn’t make any. Bucks, specifically Dame and Portis couldn’t miss in the 4th but fortunately the Celtics were able to close it out once the lead dwindled to 3.

The game doesn't count though. Middleton was there but Giannis wasn't so if you add Giannis 30 points then the Celtics lost by 27 at home - Bucks Fans on Real GM Logic

The Bucks probably don't make it past the 2nd round. They shouldn't be a concern to anyone. Ill be honest though, Miami does scare the crap out of me, to the point where I'm not sure who I would pick in a 7 game. Jimmy is Him. Bam owns the Celtics and random scrub Heat role players shoot 3s at a 50% clip against the Cs in the post season. Then you have Spo. Thats the worst possible matchup for the Cs. I don't care if KP has changed the offense and Jrue isn't intimidated, Brown and Tatum are scared of that team. Thats the issue.

30-2 when leading double digits at the half.
Read on Twitter

They did lose to the Cavs after leading by 20+ in the 4th. And lost to the Hornets up 9 with 2 mins left. More of an anomaly.

Celts need to clean up the end of the game three ball chucking..... Once JT decided to go to the rack, it was game ovaaaaaa. PP was great , especially after the Beasley too small lol. Looking fwd to the playoff run! Stay healthy, rest up and it's game on!

Well, the first three quarters and the last 1:45 were ok. But that was a bad 4th quarter. You just can't let yourself be embarrassed by the likes of Beverley, Crowder and Beasley.
