I thought Hortford stepped on the line, not the ball going out

Sorry meant the opposite, I think the ball hit the line before Hortford got it

 

[Hyperactivity]

Isaiah 4th quarter magic has been the exact opposite this past week or so. Just absolute trash.

Would hope the "King of the Fourth" praise didn't get to his head

 

[K.Jack]

I'm so thankful the Celts chose Rozier over Ibaka.

 

[Chase17]

Marcus Smart is a hero

 

[Sanjuro]

Say Crowder, Frenchie!

 

[Bread]

Ridiculous, Avery's defense was insane right there and Kyrie got bailed out.

 

[msdstc]

What's defensive rebounding look like?

 

[LyleLanley]

I'm so thankful the Celts chose Rozier over Ibaka.

I don't think Ibaka would've really helped us with the issues we have.

 

[metalslimer]

Damn this is going to be a great ECF

 

[Bread]

This game holy fuckkkkk*

*only good if we win

 

[msdstc]

I don't think Ibaka would've really helped us with the issues we have.

Rebounding and rim protection????

 

[Bread]

Rebounding and rim protection????

He wouldn't be able to take IT's place while adding defense so he would be useless

 

[phanphare]

this game has been crucial

 

[metalslimer]

Holy fuck

 

[msdstc]

He wouldn't be able to take IT's place while adding defense so he would be useless

wait what?

 

[LyleLanley]

Rebounding and rim protection????

I thought I remember seeing some advanced stats showing that he's actually not better than Johnson at that.

 

[Servbot24]

I thought I remember seeing some advanced stats showing that he's actually not better than Johnson at that.

Depends what level of advancement those stats were at

 

[K.Jack]

Holy FUCK Kyrie

 

[msdstc]

I thought I remember seeing some advanced stats showing that he's actually not better than Johnson at that.

oh god he HAS to be better than johnson at the very least in terms of rebounding and he most certainly adds more in terms of offense.

full disclosure I'm not a fan at all of Ibaka so I'm not upset we missed out, just saying he addresses exactly what we need. They can play small and keep the floor spread while improving rebounding and defense.

 

[phanphare]

avery bradley, I said got damnn

 

[Bread]

OMG JAE CAN DO IT

 

[Chase17]

Avery Bradley's defense has been really good against Kyrie

 

[Bread]

Avery is back <3333

 

[OldMan]

LeBron should have took that last shot.

 

[K.Jack]

Celts feeling like Piccolo when he fused with Nail.

Cavs have a few forms left though.

 

[Tom Penny]

Good thing they traded for Bradley at deadline. Ainge did work.

 

[Bread]

What a game

Jay was bae
Jae was bae
Avery is healthy
Hortford with double digit assists
IT is a great defender*

*note: in effort only


We have done it!

 

[spyder_ur]

Great game.

Celtics kinda needed a big game like this to get some confidence back I think.

Avery Bradley's defense has been really good against Kyrie

Bradley loves playing against ball dominant guards. He might be the best on ball defender in the NBA as long as he's not outmatched size-wise.

Honestly, watching Bradley lock up defensively is one of my favorite things to watch in the NBA.

 

[mjp2417]

Bradley on Kyrie was enormously impressive. Incredible footwork

 

[Sanjuro]

Mayweather won it for us.

 

[LyleLanley]

This game has been good so far but let's not get ahead of ourselves

If the Celtics lose then this game will have been not fun and not good.

This game was fun and good.

 

[Tom Penny]

I would like to see defensive Bradley the rest of the year just so I know he hasn't lost what made him..

 

[friskykillface]

Hot take after 4 quarters

lol Cavs
Celtics shut me up

 

[Servbot24]

I wish PG13 could shoot

 

[ZeoVGM]

That game.

 

[msdstc]

I would like to see defensive Bradley the rest of the year just so I know he hasn't lost what made him..

Seriously that was the bulldog defender that he started as. He hasn't shown that intensity at all this year on defense. Maybe it's that right now he's on limited minutes, who knows. Impressive nonetheless.

 

[Lee Chaolan]

Poor Deron.

 

[TSM]

I almost forgot what it was like to have AB on the floor. Glad he's back.

 

[random25]

Pacers could actually upset the Texas powerhouse teams back-to-back?

 

[Sandfox]

Okafor is such trash

I guess those tacos were too bomb for Ty Lawson

These are great.

 

[Bread]

Avery always steps it up against elite PGs. He's our secret weapon against the Cav and *******s

 

[Lionel Richie]

Looks like I picked a bad night to miss the fucking Celtics game.

 

[Tom Penny]

He was moving laterally unbelievable on the last few possessions..

 

[Iadien]

LeBron should have took that last shot.

Lebron has played this way his entire career, he will always make that pass.

Good game. Cavs are going to be scary once healthy and the new guys get up to speed.

 

[Bread]

A healthy Smart/Avery defensive backcourt is probably one of the greatest defensive duos of all time. If Avery's shot is falling and Smart is playing point well...let IT go. Jaylen has been so good too. Fuck I love this team.

They need Fultz if that's the case. Ball making J Kidd passes to brick layers is not a good look.

 

[Chase17]

Griffen is really getting down the court.

 

[Lee Chaolan]

Yup, he will.

Was a really good game not even discouraged by the L. We're missing starters, this was Deron's first game with us, Bogut's not even here yet, and we barely lost to the #2 team on the road.

Gonna be a fun end to the season.

 

[Bread]

They need Fultz if that's the case. Ball making J Kidd passes to brick layers is not a good look.

Or would Ball's range make Smart even more effective as he drives/posts up? I think either one would be fine.

 

[random25]

What the hell? Monta cost us that game damn it.
