jaylen looked like a true #1 tonite. love seeing it.

yeah he played great

tatum worrying me a little bit hes not getting his shots in the flow of the offense, he has been great besides that tho

it was on too late (here) for me to see much of but the way jaylen just attacked, in traffic, without losing his head (or the ball) was pretty tough

not that many guys can do this

Playoff Derrick White is just absurd: https://t.co/M65K4EXZGM pic.twitter.com/lW12KH2TG6

congrats to him i didnt really learn anything about him this year but i liked his vibe

zinger wearing the satin celtics jacket on the bench tonight he wants to be in uniform

the c's could really use a last-shot-of-the-quarter option besides tatum dribbles until there are 3 seconds left and then shoots no matter where he is on the court, no matter who's covering him and no matter what anyone else is doing.

he does it to keep us humble

lol

doesnt look too close but on the other hand hes not in a walking boot would be nice to get him back at some point during the ecf lord willing the celtics win their current series so that hes rolling by the time lord willing the celtics advance to the finals

Derrick White said the Celtics had Kristaps Porzingis’ music playing at shootaround: “hopefully it helps him heal faster.”

lag∞n you wrote "time lord" and my heart skipped a beat

Kristaps Porzingis was just asked what music he wanted. His choice?

damn, I had my money on Asia - Heat of the Moment

“I’m going to get Jayson back,” Brown said. “I wasn’t paying attention, and he just comes out of nowhere with a left hook straight to the chest.”

lol he was pissed

“I didn’t realize how hard I hit him,” Tatum said. “I’ve been lifting a lot lately".

tatum for the playoffs 51% from 2 28% from 3, he is getting to the line 8 times a game and hitting 87% which is somewhat redeeming the terrible 3pt shooting, other than that hes been great 10 rebs 6 assists a steal and a block

End of the 1st half he did The Thing again where he brought the ball up himself, fought through a press, set up shop just inside half-court and stood there dribbling while the clock ran down, then dribbled all around the top of the key and finally let fly a low-percentage 3 - actually hit it, which I'm sure felt good but cmon man

do they have any realistic way of dealing with the Nuggets?

feel like it'd be an even matchup if both teams are equally healthy, the regular season games were really close

yeah they def need zinger back and theyll need to score enough to keep up with denver cause youre not going to shut down their offense because of joker, one tantalizing tidbit from the regular season games is at the end of the second game during their comeback they had some success pressuring denver fullcourt, much like minny did early in the current series, denver solved minnys press by having gordon bring the ball up which then required one of minnys bigs to get involved in the press which is just not something they want to do, they could switch that but then theres mismatches behind, however boston wont have the same problem since they dont play two bigs, not saying itll work but somethin to keep an eye on

think a celtics win v denver has them going wild with the perimeter d jrue and derrick blowing up pick and rolls tatum and brown rotating on a string etc finding ways to make denver play with a short clock
