Pritchard has been evolving. He’s playing the best ball of his life at this exact moment and it’s beautiful to watch

Gallinari trying to stay in front of Jaylen is the least competitive matchup I’ve ever seen

the energy and shots Prichard is making is huge for this team in the playoffs. He could be their Bruce Brown this year.

I get that Tatum is cold, but the Bucks putting Beasley straight up on Tatum there is a VERY Doc Rivers move.

Negative fans will take this game as a bad one, and it did get ugly in the end, but nice effort to take it in the clutch while a collapse was looking likely. Good teaching moment.

well don't like the way they played in the 4th quarter, but Bucks proved they will not be an easy out at all. Portis and Lillard are big shot makers, add in Giannis and they will be very tough.

They NEEDED a game like this. They won a game that they would have lost in previous years. Great win - and...that record of theirs. Insane.

Bummed about no Giannis tonight. Was hoping to see how both teams stack up at full strength No Holiday for the Celtics.

It makes me rethink getting to the Finals should be a given. Getting to the ECF should be a given, however the Bucks will give us all we can handle in a series. I still expect us to get to the Finals but it will likely be a long series. Even Cleveland is a darkhorse. I don't think any other team has any chance at all in the East.

They may take their foot off the gas peddle the last few games but with our depth I'm not sure that will effect the win total. We are on pace for 65 wins. Only three Celtics teams have won more during the regular season with the high being 68 however they did not win a Championship that season, but the other 2 did. Those two Championship seasons being the 86 Celtics which won 67 and the 08 Celtics won 66. To sum it up the Celtics are the most revered team in NBA history, sorry Lakers, and we are in the mist of one of the best regular seasons in the history of the team. 2 of the other 3 teams with comparable seasons won it all and while each team each season is different the comps suggest what we already know and feel, it's this teams time. Enjoy the ride and do not whine about the occasional bad loss. And Hey, Tatum was big when it was late and close tonight.

Denver is still the team to beat league wide, for anyone, not just the Celtics. They have the best player in the world and he’s surrounded by good to great players. If they are healthy, even with the Celtics having home court, they are the favorites.

Jaylen Brown. Worth every penny I'd pay him a few more to make me less nervous when he's shooting free throws down the stretch.

Did you guys see Harden kick it out to Leonard then go up to contest his shot?

Bummed about no Giannis tonight. Was hoping to see how both teams stack up at full strength No Holiday for the Celtics. No Sam Hauser either. Btw, someone called into The Starting Lineup this morning on SiriusXM & cited this Sam Hauser stat: Career 3-pt shot makes per minute played: SH > Steph Curry. Plus he makes it at the same percentage (42.6%). What kind of bag does Sam get?

Liking Brissett’s game tonight
He’s been a solid energy guy this year

Great to win the games they should win, and by a lot. Bench really showing what they are made of
last year after 70 games - 48-22 on the way to 57 wins.
this year after 70 - 56-14. How high will they go?

How high will they go? Right now they are closer to 66 than 65 by their current winning percentage. That said they've won 19 of their last 21 and they were absolutely, to me anyway, robbed in the Cleveland game. So they've been trending upwards of their current winning percentage and they only have a dozen left. I'll stick with 65 (range of 63-67) though, being conservative when all things are considered seems appropriate.

Liking Brissett’s game tonight He’s been a solid energy guy this year And he' s pretty athletic too. Made some nice plays tonight too. With this roster is there anyone you don't like? Stevens and Ainge feel like Epstein and Duquette. I just hope the results are the same.
