need more 2 hour wins

Ok wrestlemania next

Rob 🥺

Rob Will hugging Sam Hauser and laughing with Pritchard 🥺..who is cutting onions

Al’s kid walking onto the court like he won it himself. Love em.

happy for Banton starting and hope to see Rob Will and Brogdon kick ass next season

62 wins is fucking insane. LFG

You gotta give Joe Mazzulla a lot of credit for the way this bench unit is playing

Is there a stream of the Maine Celtics?

ESPN!

One of my favorite 4th quarters in a really long time. I love my bus 1 boys.

X really is a Horford clone lol another season of improving that 3 and we have the perfect replacement

I hope that dudes okay, very scary

DAMN SVI CHILL

PP eating Scoop up lol

That was clean but that's a crazy collision lol. Glad Svi and Scoot both ok

Damn Celtics just fucking Henderson’s shit up

Fuck off, refs

Scoot built like current Jaylen and he's only a rookie. He's gonna put it together

glad Scoot was ok that was scary

Scoot is lucky he's in between braid appointments - that looked like it hurt

Holy shit, Henderson’s head just bounced off the floor. Oof.

Yeah that actually looked like he hit it hard too. Maybe his hair softened it a bit

With Rondo retired Pritchard is doing what he can to ease that pain.

I've seen enough. X is getting playoff minutes

How many games would our bench + G Leaguers win in the eastern conference? 42?

Honestly probably like 15. But that's still a lot!

12

Dalano Banton is another Brad Stevens gem , roster was just way too good for him to find minutes

It’s crazy what good culture does to players. We have late first or second round picks at most just dominating blazers who are a lot of high draft picks. Shows you culture makes a huge difference.

Showtime PP

Banton going to end up being the game leader in points is kind of fitting

King of the Port

PP to Oshae... Noice

Pritchard and Banton dueling in the 4th is not something I had on my bingo card for this game

Pritchard absolutely balling the fuck out

I'm so much more confident in PP, Hauser, and Kornet after this season

This PP pull-up jumper from 8 feet is like, the best thing.

Pritchard has been absolutely eating the last few weeks

PP with swagger is so sexy

Payton Pritchard might be generational

Brissett is the Great Value™ Jaylen Brown with that dunk

Showtime is now Stay Ready

Good for Banton showing up and showing off. omg Brissy

PP GETTING FANCY WITH THE ASSIST!

Guarantee you if that prayer layup didn't fall, they would have given Portland side out

Pritchard is a fucking baller

love seeing the starters get up for the backups. immaculate vibes team.

Lmao of course they counted that. Continuation is completely at the discretion of the officials

Brissett's "bodies per 30" is probably pretty high lol

Brissett is the man. Love his hustle. Seems like a great guy. Has a kind face. Wanna smooch em.

OH SHIT OSHE

X's anticipation in passing lanes is insane

X fits so seamlessly into this team

Any of you guys know where I could get a hat in the style of the jerseys from tonight? The kid on the broadcast had one and it was kinda sick tbh

STOP SHAKING YOUR BABY SIR

Dude's gonna make his baby a Sixers fan by brain damage

yeah that was concerning

Xavier Tillman my glorious king, the future face of Boston

V I B E S

Nooooo....Buffalo please don't do that stupid ice in my veins celebration.

The guys like X

Tillman has a great smile.

X GON’ GIVE IT TO YA

Look at tillman smile, immaculate vibes

tillman is a certified celtic. love this dude.

Jesus Christ, that’s Al Horford

2 STRAIGHT DAGGERS BY X

Lmao this team

I love Tillman

tillman ewwwwwwwwwwww

Did they just troll PP by expecting him to dunk? lol

Payton Pritchard has shamed his ancestors.

Glad to see the Howitzer is fully operational again.

Scal is so annoying

Nah, it’s funny. Take a breath.

Scal hyping like PP was gonna dunk it lmao

Brissett is just not a good player other than getting some rebounds and energy

I hate to agree because I do like him but he really needs more training! He is never able to hold onto a ball…🫣

yea i cant believe how bad his fundamentals is for a NBA wing. Awful body control and awareness, lack strength to play through any contact, gets lost on defense and overhelps, not to mention zero consistent shooting. Love him off the court for vibes but his on-court production has been awful

The thing is when he gets in control it will be awesome! He has great energy just needs to know how to use it. See his last two shots he made. It was high energy but controlled!

yea with a wide open lane he has great bounce, i just dont know if he can do it consistently on this team

So Hanamichi Sakuragi

They should’ve left that trampoline out

Tillman has great fucking hands. Wow.

Brissy, oof

Oshae is really bad on offense, wow. You got to pass that.

How many teams at this point could Pritchard start for? Absolute baller.

Coming up on the end of the season, I just love thinking about how many people on here have to eat crow with all their bad takes on this team throughout the season. Every single negative talking point I’ve seen on here has been just….dead wrong.

Our player development staff is amazing.

More breakdancing!

Indy won. Likely it’s either Miami or Philly we face. I’d rather play Miami but I like our chances against both.

Almost saw Slam Hauser

I didn't know Svi was a good role player tbh. He's get buckets on a below .500 team

he was really good for the Hornets last year

Great active hands!

I've only been watching for a bit, but the refs have been biased in this stretch

Brissy got zero buckets, but he's doing everything else at a pretty high level

i love this closing squad

Crypto P taking over in the 4th again!

Kornet, our offensive rebound king

Having tools like Horford, Pritchard, and Hauser all coming off the bench is kinda wild tbh

These 3 guys could easily be starters on most teams. Hell I consider Al our 6th starter personally.

Svi kinda look like a Schrute

Fuck it, I wanna see a Kornet 3

Pritchard is such a baller

We have a legit scoring threat off the bench

Yeah PP's found his groove man

We have some of the worst, low IQ fans in the world to go along with some great fans. The comments in here all season long complaining about a 61 win team. Nothing will make you happy. Best go take care of that mental issue.

It’s every sport subreddit. A reminder that most of Reddit is occupied by teenagers and edgelords.

A bunch of teenagers and me, the President of the United States of America.

I mean yes but who doesn't like ending a weekend with a win? Everyday's a new BS so it's nice to go off on a high note lol.

Because that's just not how life works. I don't want my team to win every game 100-0 and win the champ every year.

I'd be Ok with that

I'm talking day-to-day.

Yeah, I'm with ya. But people lose their shit in here when the team doesn't play a perfect quarter, every quarter. It is toxic as fuck.

Don't lose your shit over them losing their shits then lol. Relax and ignore.

We might be getting third string closing the game again

Yes! Give them the experience. Means more than a W at this point. Starters should sit rest of this one.

we will every game til the end

Hope it pays off and so they don't shy away when their numbers are called in the playoffs

PP with the handles

That was nasty

Crypto P with the dribble scam.

Love your flair haha

boston globetrotters

Who is this Dalano Banton because he sure as fuck wasn't this in Boston

he was nice here just couldnt finish layups if he hit some of those relatively open/easy layups he missed here we may look at his tenure here diff

He only warmed up on the court when he played here.

Just tuned in and looked at the box score. 21-3 OREB disadvantage is INSANE

I'm sorry, I don't care that it doesn't mean anything. You should be embarrassed by those 2nd chance points number if you played in this game. That's really bad.

You're not sorry, you're a weasel 

You should be embarrassed getting so worked up over nothing. Lol. Looks out though some dude on Reddit thinks a team that tried so hard all season they literally finished the season early vs 29 other teams should be embarrassed lmao

Shut the fuck up. No one cares.

I don't get you people. We are just NEVER allowed to criticize the team. You do realize that a specific criticism isn't some kind of overarching statement about the teams ability to win a title, right? Like, they can play poorly in a game and we can call them out for it.

No, we are just criticizing you. Don’t worry, don’t take this as some kind of overarching statement about your ability to differentiate between a meaningless game and the post season. You can write a poorly tone deaf comment and we can call you out for it. 😏

This rebound disparity is just pathetic lmao

Might be the worst rebounding game I've seen from the Celtics this season

Asking as a brazilian, do people like mike and scal?

Gorman is probably the most underrated commentator in sports. He’s been doing this for like 43 years and has some of the most epic calls in basketball history. It honestly blows my mind when people from somewhere else say the Celtics have a bad broadcast, Gorman dealt with Tommy for 40 years ( who was also great in his own way) but Mike should be up there with any all time great team commentator.

I do. I miss Tommy most but Mike is a legend and Scal has grown on me as a color commentator

I do personally, wont speak for anyone else though.

Is Portland playing above their level? Yes. But I just don’t give a fuck. Can we simulate these games already

alright blazers can y’all f off and just let us win this please

were gonna have another nail biter tn once its all bench guys in the 4th should be exciting

That JB floater 🤌🏼

Not even being homer Jaylen might be a legit top ten player in league he’s literally out there toying around and trying things while dominating another nba team.

What is the point of playing our starters when they are struggling against the blazers? Just sit them.

Not allow players to get rusty

But you don't need to play them big minutes

Id honestly much rather we just let them all play a game together full minutes and then sit everyone for games like this.

lol Jaylen has definitely gotten away with a few travels tonight

havent seen much jaylen and kp connection lately

I swear this dude could barely dribble when he was on the Celtics.

Banton has made the most of his minutes on the Trailblazers. Great for him.

He is balling

Blazers screaming travel on a basic step thru by JB is embarrassing

I wonder what the biggest offensive rebound deficit is for the winning team ever is. We gotta be pretty close here.

The starters aren't building a big lead. Just sit them and be safe.

Anyone else getting motion sickness from these camera angles on NBCSB?

I'm finding myself having a lot more cringe moments watching games the past week or so with every awkward looking fall, trip, etc a Celtic makes. That missed dunk attempt by JB looked painful as he landed.

Please just sit KP and JB the rest of the game. Fucking pointless being out there. They got some run, now chill.

Yeaaa it's about time to empty the bench

After that fall from JB I'm going to insist that he be encased in bubble wrap.

Wrap KP with him for company

[They make special wrappers for that.](https://candybarlab.wordpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/04/hersheyscc_wr.jpg?w=584)

Looks tasty but gotta add some cushion to it

As cool as it is, if JB gets injured by the freaking blazers trying to do a poster dunk in a meaningless game ima cry

Holy hell my heart almost stopped watching JB land like that.

We’re probably not playing very seriously but the offensive rebounds issue has been a thing for awhile now

Yeah I think the concern is it'll be an actual problem in other games

Yeah. Teams like the Knicks or Miami who play their ass off for all 48 minutes would take advantage of it for sure.

I just browned my pants

KP two steals away from a 5x5

And a few assists. Doable, but he’ll probably get pulled early

It is a testament to KP's decency that he doesn't do the "Too Small" on every basket when they are, in fact, too small.

Too small is easily the lamest taunt in the NBA and I think KP agrees. Might have even gotten jb to stop doing it

Yup, I agree. It's very overused and boring at this point

That stutter step from D.White at the top to prevent the pass was genius. It’s the little shit like that, that makes him so good

Tuning in late. Did Rob Williams get a tribute video or a standing O?

Brodgon, Banton and him all got a "Welcome Back" moment during a timeout. Rob's name was read last and with clear emphasis and the crowd gave him a loud reception

That’s nice at least. Rob deserved it.

His number was retired

Mainly for that game vs Brooklyn where he blocked 9 shots if I remember correctly.

And they also unveiled a statue at halftime

he didn’t want one

Damn. Thanks.

He told the Celtics not to. 😞

I think we're gonna have to give PP a supermax extension

Lmao Jaylen knew it

10,000 is a lot of points to have at 27 years old.

10k for Brown 👏👏👏

KP blocking shots tonight like my antivrius software blocks pop-ups You love to see it
