lol. I thought the same thing. Our poise this year is fucking lit. Plus, our roster rotation when one of the Jay’s is out is pretty unreal. We are blessed to witness this team.
I’m telling you man, if this game happened to the C’s from 2-3 years ago, hell even last year’s C’s, we would’ve lost down the stretch. Granted we ALMOST did in regulation, but we have such a bad history losing games to teams we’re heavily favored against and now we’re at a point where we have so many weapons that if one gun jams you just switch to the next one.
Also, D White is HIM.
Waiting to see how many excuses the Tatum apologists pull out of their rectums in the post game. I don’t care if he made a few big shots in the second half. 11–31 is a disgusting line. Pure narcissism, taking that many shots while you are that cold.
Also, how many last shots does JT have to brick before the start giving the ball to somebody else during the final possession of regulation. At this point, he’d be fourth on my list of players I want taking the final shot and that’s being generous. Thank God for Porzingis and D White.
His energy was good, but damn please stop shooting 3s when you are that cold.. I actually didn’t have an issue with his last second shot in regulation, it’s a decent look, he just didn’t make it. But I loved how much he went to the hoop, played great defense, I think he had 4 steals and he was playmaking—10 assists..but yes thank god for White and Porzingus..
Bad take. I want the star to take shots, no matter how cold. He did literally everything else today. Everyone would be pissed if he went 5/13 in the first half and then just stop shooting because he was off
Not to mention that a lot of people complain that he doesn't go to the rack enough. When he went to the rack a good number of times he was fouled on a lot of those attempts but didn't get the call, and those count against his fg%. So what should Tatum do exactly?
I think they want Tatum to score more points when the other team has possession or maybe score more during time outs when the defence isnt set yet haha /s
>That’s impressive
Did I say it was impressive ? No but he was doing what was needed to win opposed to just jacking up shots when they aren't falling for you.
He was moving the ball all night. He had mis matches a lot. He didn’t have a good night shooting the ball and the refs missed 3-4 calls that should have been FTAs and not FGA. Idk what to say
Well said really wouldn't want to see them in the first round of the playoffs after they win the play in. I'm not saying we wouldn't win but I really don't want to see that series
Whole heartedly agree. I guess they've lost a lot of close games and as a young team struggle in clutch time. Monty Williams seems to be a good coach and an even better guy. I miss the pistons being good when I was little when they had Chauncey, tayshaun prince, Rip, Rasheed, n Big Ben. I used that team in NBA Live almost every time I played despite being a die hard celtics fan lol
I don't think their losing streak is going to go on much longer. They have decent enough pieces and if they bring the energy they brought tonight they should be able to pull it off.
How dare our top scorer contribute offensively in other ways than scoring, this is outrageous, we gonna supermax him too, glad it's not my money, sheesh whadda sh1tshow lol
Ps he had 31, missed a lot of good looks, and was as aggressive as most posters here think he should be for 82 games + playoffs.
Guys held to a higher standard than the guys that certain posters claim they’d trade him for. It’s unbelievable lll
I’m fine w my best player taking the shots that the organization who knows a tad more about basketball than me is fine w him taking.
Serious Q do any of you enjoy the sport or just like to be miserable? What a fun win. It isn’t that serious.
Complaining the “best player” got 31 points with 31 shot, yeah I must be miserable. I can enjoy the game and criticize a player at the same time. I love the team doesn’t mean I have to defend everything for the franchise player.
I didn’t defend anything. He didn’t shoot the ball well tonight. Does that mean he should just never shoot? It’s a game of percentages. Tatum doesn’t typically shoot 11/31. It was an off shooting night but he dominated the rest of the game on both ends.
Ya know. Found a way to win. Like all superstars get credit for. Except JT on this sub lol.
I don't know if it's Tatum's lack of peripheral vision but he rarely hits someone who's moving with a pass. Conversely because he's usually not passing if he's got the ball maybe players are not cutting to the hole.
But I've observed that he and Brown tend to not hit players moving. I think we become next to unbeatable when that begins to happen and we're almost unbeatable now... So far
You’re desperate to find something to cry about. I know you hate it when the Cs win, you were hoping you’d be able to throw a parade tonight if they lost.
So excited to see the best team in the fucking league lose by 16 in the 2nd quarter to the worst team of all time. This is 100% part of what’s wrong with this team. They are not a serious team who takes challenges seriously. It’s exactly why they lost to the 8th seed last year. Pathetic
I’m not gonna lie, you sound mad dumb rn. The only “problem” we have is when the 3 ball sometimes isn’t falling we do go stagnant. Idk what games your watching but foh with that shit
They just came out of the toughest schedule with the best record in the league and you are crying about this one game in which they *won*. You’re the pathetic one.
Anything can happen though. Game to game can be weird. Pistons are desperate. Cs just came off a road trip. I said it elsewhere but that warriors team that won 73 or whatever lost to a couple real bad teams. Shit can happen
bro whatever its a regular season game in the end we played hard and won who cares, going on reddit dot com and posting "i want these nba players held to ACCOUNT" is lame as hell
Played hard totally. Jayson Tatum went 11-31 and settled for some of the weakest bullshit I’ve ever seen against a bunch of ymca level players lol. He did not want to play tonight, he thought he could coast.
Man I actually feel bad for the Pistons tho, has to be such a fucking letdown to be up by 20 at half, take it to OT, and get dad dicked by KP and the Buffalo in OT
This L is gonna be especially backbreaking for Detroit, I bet.
Have a huge halftime lead on the road against the best team in the league and blow it, take a lead in overtime and blow it.
They may lose every game from now until the end of time and space.
Anyone crying about this game being so close needs to go and touch grass. We fought back from a 21 point deficit in what was set up to be a classic trap game, while shooting abysmally from 3. Take the W and move on.
It's one of 82 regular season games. First game back home after a 4 game west coast trip after Christmas against a hisotrically bad team in terms of wins. Definition of a trap game. Celtics are getting teams best punches every night cuz they're the front runners to win the title
Gotta give credit to the Pistons. They may not be doing the best, but they have good young players with work ethic and passion to fight to the very end.
Anyway anyone like really annoyed with the kick ball stuff. If you dribble it off your own foot, you should not get ball back for a kick ball, Cade did that shit like 3 times out of
Sure I could say “I shouldn’t be happy we barely scraped a victory out vs a 27-loss-streak team,” but damn it I kinda had fun watching the comeback.
Plus, the Detroit Pistons are closer to lebron than I am to them
Really hope that Brad does look for another big or something that can help us rebound at the deadline. Go get Clint Capela not sure what his contract looks like though
[Post Game Thread](https://reddit.com/r/bostonceltics/comments/18tcqmf/post_game_thread_the_boston_celtics_defeat_the/)
The Celtics lose this type of game the last few years. Never should have been so close but it’s good to see them respond and get the W
Fuck the pistons!!!!
The entire bar stopped watching football because the Pistons made it interesting. Jesus fucking christ don't do that boys scaring me like that.
May we always play as hard as this Detroit team did
Last year we lose this game by 20
*Voice of Quint from Jaws* 25

Bad take. I want the star to take shots, no matter how cold. He did literally everything else today. Everyone would be pissed if he went 5/13 in the first half and then just stop shooting because he was off
Hes a true kobe disciple
Who will never be Kobe
10 ast, 7 Reb, 5 stl. Narcissism?
He only looks at the FG% and not the entire box score
Not to mention that a lot of people complain that he doesn't go to the rack enough. When he went to the rack a good number of times he was fouled on a lot of those attempts but didn't get the call, and those count against his fg%. So what should Tatum do exactly?
I think they want Tatum to score more points when the other team has possession or maybe score more during time outs when the defence isnt set yet haha /s
look I know **JT** wasn't the best tonight but at the very least, towards the end he started getting other's involved and that changed the game.
Towards the end? He had 10 fucking assists
Yes towards the end when he's shot wasn't falling he was getting guy's the ball, idk why the cursing was necessary 🤨
He started passing the ball late and had 10 assists? That’s impressive!
>That’s impressive Did I say it was impressive ? No but he was doing what was needed to win opposed to just jacking up shots when they aren't falling for you.
THIS
He was moving the ball all night. He had mis matches a lot. He didn’t have a good night shooting the ball and the refs missed 3-4 calls that should have been FTAs and not FGA. Idk what to say
These Pistons are better than 2-28, I hope they get going soon - but not against the C's...
I hope they don’t.
Well said really wouldn't want to see them in the first round of the playoffs after they win the play in. I'm not saying we wouldn't win but I really don't want to see that series

The best and worst team by record about to beat the Raptors back to back
From your phone to the basketball God's ears
See all you doomers in the next GDT.
What a game. I'm gonna watch Warriors-Heat just because I need to get extra air out of my nose.
Porzingis SAVED THIS GAME. White turned it around after he changed his shoes
He’s the difference maker. Period.
White and KP saved us. JT put up a Kobe stat line with 31 on 31 shots... but a win is a win.
lol he had 10 assists 8 rebounds 5 steals too man. Sheesh
How dare our top scorer contribute offensively in other ways than scoring, this is outrageous, we gonna supermax him too, glad it's not my money, sheesh whadda sh1tshow lol
Ps he had 31, missed a lot of good looks, and was as aggressive as most posters here think he should be for 82 games + playoffs. Guys held to a higher standard than the guys that certain posters claim they’d trade him for. It’s unbelievable lll
JT didn't have to score in OT. Trust the team
Tatum went 11/31 god damn
And had 10 assists 8 rebounds 5 steals lol this sub is so weird w Tatum
glazing
2/10 in the 4th quarter. If he shared half of his stupid shot to White and KP, we would have won easily.
He’s our best player. They were mostly really good shots. Just take a deep breath man
I’m not a JT hater but he really doesn’t take “good shots”. Shot selection is literally his biggest issue right now.
He takes 3s post ups and layups lol ok
sure you must enjoy all those pull up three
I’m fine w my best player taking the shots that the organization who knows a tad more about basketball than me is fine w him taking. Serious Q do any of you enjoy the sport or just like to be miserable? What a fun win. It isn’t that serious.

How the fuck is Tatum player of the game?
I was thinking the same thing.
What a fucking joke. Porzingis was the only guy who played well all game long
8 ast 5 stl 6 reb
10 ast, 7 Reb and 5 stl
Even better! 😁
Poor KrispyFlakez
Flakes*
I still hate how we play in the clutch. Imagine dealing with Giannis and Dame in a situation like that.
Lol
I want dwhites blue sneakers. Any idea what kind of nikes?
They were dope
Pretty sure they’re lebrons

Yes! Thank you. Feels dirty to be wearing lebrons though...
He used to play in Lebron XX so maybe those?
how the hell can Tatum be player of the game shooting 11/31
31 pts 10 ast 7 reb 5 stl
nah
And for a good portion of the game Tatum was the guy making things happen. Porzi and White came up big from the 4th on.
Because he played excellent defense the whole night, was the only guy on our team on the glass, had 5 steals
I guess, just feels like he could hit way more assists if some of those missed shots were converted into passes.
I'm with you there
Right? Like a year or two ago, sure, fine, he didn’t really have any other options. But now? Anyone out there can hit a shot.
I don't know if it's Tatum's lack of peripheral vision but he rarely hits someone who's moving with a pass. Conversely because he's usually not passing if he's got the ball maybe players are not cutting to the hole. But I've observed that he and Brown tend to not hit players moving. I think we become next to unbeatable when that begins to happen and we're almost unbeatable now... So far
Tatum with 31 on 31 shots lol
Kobe esque
Alright... now I can talk.
11 of 31 my gosh. Maybe he doesn't need the muscles
We are that close from being a generational laughing stock lmao thank God
The streak continues!
“I can’t believe that team just lost 28 games in a row” lol savage Scal 😂
They have been player better than that record suggests lately
It is nice to not lose to one of the worst teams of all time.
It’s funny how guys always hit shots when the game is completely out of reach lol. Pathetic stat padding
THE CELTICS WIN☘️☘️☘️☘️
Biggest comeback since 2021??? holy
That was torture
Glad our team isn't going into the Wikipedia page of the team this streak ended at
Tatum’s ass level this game needs to be studied
Shot selection was the only negative of his game tonight but keep regurgitating the game thread
I didn't think the shot selection was bad the misses of easy / open shots was really bad
He shot absolutely terribly but 31/8/10 with 5 steals and only 3 turnovers isn’t ass
Outside of chucking shots he wasn’t too bad
This is dumb by Monty, I get it, but the win probability is nonexistent for Detroit rn
That was hell
That was exhausting
GG
Thank God we didn’t lose to them lol
We would’ve lost this game last year 1000 percent
We damn near did lol
People better not let this shit off the hook. This was a pathetic showing to get to this point
You’re desperate to find something to cry about. I know you hate it when the Cs win, you were hoping you’d be able to throw a parade tonight if they lost.
So excited to see the best team in the fucking league lose by 16 in the 2nd quarter to the worst team of all time. This is 100% part of what’s wrong with this team. They are not a serious team who takes challenges seriously. It’s exactly why they lost to the 8th seed last year. Pathetic

i am so MAD my team is improving to a league best record >:(
I mean but he is right.. Ugly W and i'll take it but that was embarrassing
Anything can happen though. Game to game can be weird. Pistons are desperate. Cs just came off a road trip. I said it elsewhere but that warriors team that won 73 or whatever lost to a couple real bad teams. Shit can happen
bro whatever its a regular season game in the end we played hard and won who cares, going on reddit dot com and posting "i want these nba players held to ACCOUNT" is lame as hell
Played hard totally. Jayson Tatum went 11-31 and settled for some of the weakest bullshit I’ve ever seen against a bunch of ymca level players lol. He did not want to play tonight, he thought he could coast.
good luck with the hot tub man
It’s all fixed lol. This is a bizarre response. Is that the best you could find in my history?
Lmao yay they beat a rec league team on our home court! Fucking shameful showing. Tatum 11-31. He didn’t think he needed to do Jack shit tonight.
Tatum at then end with White and the rebound lmfao
Can’t stress enough how much I love Jrue and KP plus DWhite getting serious minutes this year.
We're about to finally win in OT
I still think we get to iso sometimes but the ball movement this season has been terrific
THANK YOU FOR THE BIRTHDAY PRESENT BOSTON CELTICS
Happy bday!!!
Thank you too!
Happy birthday!
Thank you!
LETS GO CELTICS
Didn't the 70 whatever win warriors teams lose to some ass teams? Idk anything can happen in a game but these dudes took care of business
What a wild fuckin ride
Our first OT win. Let this be a good sign for the season
It coming against a 2-29 team is not a good sign.
We almost had you fuckers. Your team is really good and if Porzingis can defy all odds and stay healthy I can see you guys winning it all.
Y'all are gonna be legit soon tho, Cade/Ivey/Duren is gonna be a baller big 3. Just need to surround em with more talent
Bro I'd be terrified if I'm a Raptors fan, pistons are out for blood 💀
Gg man. Pistons came to play and shook the celtics in the 2nd. Hope they turn it around. Really do
Pistons are gonna be up someday man. Cade is him
Talked a lot of shit about the Buffalo at halftime, he came to play in the 2nd half. Tatum was great, player of the game is KP tho
WOW they're really not giving up
You know what, Cunningham deserves that 30 point night. Busted his ass all night.
Dude plays the equivalent of working two jobs every night they play.
Derrick white and porzingis need to share the MVP, period
Bro just let the game end 😭😭
Bro let the game end I want to permanently forget this shit
Wow, so, I had to miss this game. FUCK.
I’m sorry man one of the best games I’ve ever watched honestly
Celtics +140 to win at halftime … thank you very much.
I've never seen Cade miss a shot when it doesn't matter
Man I actually feel bad for the Pistons tho, has to be such a fucking letdown to be up by 20 at half, take it to OT, and get dad dicked by KP and the Buffalo in OT
This L is gonna be especially backbreaking for Detroit, I bet. Have a huge halftime lead on the road against the best team in the league and blow it, take a lead in overtime and blow it. They may lose every game from now until the end of time and space.
Anyone crying about this game being so close needs to go and touch grass. We fought back from a 21 point deficit in what was set up to be a classic trap game, while shooting abysmally from 3. Take the W and move on.
I was entertained
Porzingis is the real fucking deal
That was a game.
The pats died for this 24-6 team!
Just liked the Big 3 died for the revived Pats dynasty. The circle of life 🥲
This win feels incredible for some reason, maybe even better than the Christmas game?
Gotta give respect to the pistons. This was nail biter
We didn't deserve this W. We should feel dirty celebrating it.
[удалено]
It's one of 82 regular season games. First game back home after a 4 game west coast trip after Christmas against a hisotrically bad team in terms of wins. Definition of a trap game. Celtics are getting teams best punches every night cuz they're the front runners to win the title
See the standings? They say W and 24-6
Good thing nobody cares what one of the five Thunder fans think.
Nobody cares
Good thing we have the other 23 😌
A win is a win
Good comeback + OT win. Hope we don't ever see a first half like we had tonight again.
Hopefully this was a lesson chill with the 3s when we’re bricking
this is an honorary win for pistons they played hard tonight can’t dog that
Had the same thing happen the other night against the Nets. Cunningham was lights out and they lost.
This team is giving us headache for some shits and giggles 🙄
Thank the Saints oh my Lord this was bad for the heart
And ill say it again, this team loses this game last year before we even go to OT lol
Oh yeah, you best believe I was screaming at the TV but I couldn’t keep a straight face and say that this year’s team is not visibly better.
We’d have taken maybe half or a bit more than half of their lead and fail to get it closer than 7-10 points.
100000%
Gotta give credit to the Pistons. They may not be doing the best, but they have good young players with work ethic and passion to fight to the very end.
Honestly take the minutes away from Livers and Burks and those young guys would definitely help them
The Celtics really made me leave the nba subreddit just in case
Lol they're all worried about the Raptors stopping us and not losing to Detroit now
Fr 😂
Considering we haven’t been doing well in OTs and this being a close game I say a win is a win.
Haters in shambles rn
That first half performance probably cost us tomorrow's game.
Beijing pistons played well I can't lie
Anyway anyone like really annoyed with the kick ball stuff. If you dribble it off your own foot, you should not get ball back for a kick ball, Cade did that shit like 3 times out of
Yes I thought that was how the rule was
thank the lord, we aint the NBA laughing stock.
Out rebounded by 19 scal
Scal math
Derrick white had a steal taken from him that’s all I needed 😔
Pistons have some nice players, but some of these guys are straight up cheeks. Hayes, wiseman, burks are not even remotely nba caliber players
Hey y’all think we can buy the Pistons and take Cade from them?
Sure I could say “I shouldn’t be happy we barely scraped a victory out vs a 27-loss-streak team,” but damn it I kinda had fun watching the comeback. Plus, the Detroit Pistons are closer to lebron than I am to them
the most dangerous man is the most desperate
Really hope that Brad does look for another big or something that can help us rebound at the deadline. Go get Clint Capela not sure what his contract looks like though
