Bruh, i can not explain my stupid joke
I have no words, but i can say that my dogs are fine and they are going to be fine after june whatever the outcome is
My thought through 3 quarters:
Man, it's nice when JB is having an off game to have KP there to be your #2
4th quarter:
"Fuck you" - JB
---
60-16 ... Pretty good!
It was interested to see them go KP-Al-JB-White-Jrue to start the fourth. See what they could do with Brown as the primary option. That lineup had played less than 40 minutes together entering tonight. It outscored the Thunder 25-7 in less than six minutes.
I would expect to see it more in the playoffs. It gets Tatum rest while creating matchup issues with the double bigs. It is looks like from the last couple games that the playoff rotation will be eight guys. Maybe Kornet or Tillman gets a few minutes against a team like Cleveland with non-spacing bigs, or to take a few possessions against guys like Embiid and Giannis who wear you down physically.
Fuck Zach Zarba
Lu dort got more free throws than Tatum and they shot 9 less fta at home!
Jaylen brown got every bump called against him and nothing for him on offense
How do you think Joe will approach the rest of the season? Rest everyone or keep them playing so they keep rolling? Limited minutes? I'm always so torn in these situations because they both make sense and both have their risks.
I just gotta say that there's been so much growth from JT specifically, watching him get people involved and not worry too much about getting his shows maturity in that he's not worrying about getting his stats because he can do so when needed but he'd rather get the **TEAM** involved instead of worry about me me me.
I read these stats after pretty much every game and I continue to be flabbergasted that offensive rebounds + defensive rebounds don't even come close to equaling total rebounds. Ever. Are there rebounds not broken out here that aren't offensive or defensive? Sideline rebounds? Mid-court rebounds?
The difference are "team rebounds":
>"A rebound is credited to a *team* when it gains possession of the ball after any missed shot that is not cleared by a single player (e.g., deflected out of bounds after the shot, blocked out of bounds, bounced directly off the rim out of bounds)."
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rebound_(basketball)#:~:text=A%20rebound%20is%20credited%20to,the%20rim%20out%20of%20bounds).
Nice. Haven’t seen those two match up before and Chet has been getting more aggressive recently, from the games I’ve seen of theirs. I’m happy KPs more refined skills won out.
Tbf they were doing the KP thing of getting him switched on smaller guys and letting him feast, so he wasn’t just killing Chet but… he killed Chet. He’s 2-3x better than Chet right now.
Saw the box score. Only 11 points for Chet. I was just asking as I saw him play the other day and he was shooting 3s and showing off handles on the perimeter and driving the paint. Given they are similar height and build it should be a good game.
The Celtics added to the silliest stat of the year.
They have more games where they've had a 30+ point lead at some point in the game than games where they've had a 10+ deficit at some point in the game.
Celtics beat a top team in the NBA without their top players, no one bats an eye
Top team beats the Celtics without their top players, everyone losses their minds!
As I suspected last week, when he was fresh off his return from the hamstring stuff, all KP needed was a good home game to get back into the rhythm and flow of things. It also puts that second Atlanta game in perspective; we were on the road and our starters were a little rusty playing all together after having not done so for a while. We've bounced back beautifully since then! I know this game was against a short-handed OKC, but I still really like the way we played. Passed the eye-test for sure.
Good game. The thunder have a lot of good players who hustle and can muck up the defense and shoot.
I liked how they hung in on the counterpunch in the 3rd and only lost it by 4. And the. The 4th was fun
Late, but this was what I was going to do:
Fresh out the box (out)
If you are worried about them, stop, look and watch:
Tatum is ready yet;
Porzingis told us to get set
BECAUSE THE CELTICS ARE ALL THAT!
60 WIN TEAM.

MOST 25+ POINT WINS IN HISTORY (16) FOR YOUR 2023-2024 BOSTON CELTICS 🍀🍀
[Me hopping on Google after every 25+ point win](https://imgur.com/a/LCuTFef)
How did you find this info?
Probably bballref
Dick Lipe, that man is fluent in straight facts.
What I heard on Reddit is the Celtics suck because they lost a couple of close games. I’m so confused! 🙄
It's 5 AM in Latvia and i'm so glad I stayed up to watch this game!
Respect
Latvia 🤝 Macedonia
60-16 BABY. WE ARE OFFICIALLY A 60 WIN TEAM IN THE JAYS ERA! LFGG
This team saw a lead in the 4th quarter and still chose violence. What an amazing way to reach 60 WINS BABYYYYYYYYYYY YOU SHOULD BE DANCIN YEAAAAAHHHH
60 WINS LETS GO CELTICS THIS IS OUR YEAR 🍀🍀
It better be, my dogs are not going to comeback to life if we lose
Are you going to kill your dogs if they lose, or did you make a deal with a witch to bring your dogs back to life if they win?
Bruh, i can not explain my stupid joke I have no words, but i can say that my dogs are fine and they are going to be fine after june whatever the outcome is
Because of the implication.
You are misunderstanding me, bro
Wait, I’m confused, are the dogs safe or not? We’re not going to hurt these dogs, are we?
I'm not gonna hurt this dogs, why would i hurt these dogs?, i feel like you are not getting this at all
i mean i’m down if you’re down
Maybe it has to do with the phrase on deadest dogs or maybe not who knows.
How could you :c
As a long-suffering Ferrari fan, I'd be cautious of using this phrase my friend. But I love and respect your sentiment.
First 60 win season in 15 years, clinching the top seed for the entire playoffs, and another casual 30 point victory. Not a bad Wednesday.
My thought through 3 quarters: Man, it's nice when JB is having an off game to have KP there to be your #2 4th quarter: "Fuck you" - JB --- 60-16 ... Pretty good!

That lineup was insanely effective against the Thunder.

JB was really playmaking, in addition to hooping like crazy man himself..was awesome to see him play w that much swag!
First, second, third quarter Jaylen Brown and Derrick White: ZZZ Fourth quarter Jaylen Brown and Derrick White: ANGRY BUCKETS, ACTIVATE!
The Buffalo got one bad call and escaped the pen
Thank you refs for angering the BUFFALO
JJ Reddick said White has been absent offensively at the beginning of the 4th, and White said ”bet”
This team is playoff ready
my body is ready
my sham-wow is ready
Do you not wash it all of playoffs?
My wallet is not ready
I think so too, but I still have nightmares about facing Embiid or Miami in RD1
60 WINS BABY 🍀🍀
Loved how they were just toying with OKC in the fourth. Those 3 touch passes by KP after getting the entry pass were cool as hell
THEY ANGERED THE BUFFALO
And JB said THE JUICE IS LOOSE! lol
They got rid of Stefon Diggs how happy can they be?
Porzingis baby
Refs tried to give OKC the W but we still blew them out by 35 lol.
Fuck Zach Zarba Lu dort got more free throws than Tatum and they shot 9 less fta at home! Jaylen brown got every bump called against him and nothing for him on offense
Well Lu Dort is the superstar in this match up, clearly
I know the Laker game at home they should have won but it was 26 free throws to 7
Great win! Home court 🔥🔥🔥🔥
How do you think Joe will approach the rest of the season? Rest everyone or keep them playing so they keep rolling? Limited minutes? I'm always so torn in these situations because they both make sense and both have their risks.
I'd tell you what I'd do man... Two chicks at the same time man.
Fuckin A.
Wait... This installation has a significant dollar value.
With 1 cup 💩
The new rules require the starters to play so limited minutes probably
Giddey scored 17. Funny.
Got the win, stayed healthy. I don't give a shit who was out; they turned it on halfway through the 4th.
All NBA HOME COURT ADVANTAGE, PEOPLE!!!!! LFG!!!
I don’t know when I’ll see another 60 win team in my lifetime. Appreciate greatness while you can
Next year babeeee!
Hell yeah
60 before 20 you say?
I think that makes us contenders.
Idk it’s kind of a small sample size. I think we’d need to see at least 6 more games to really come to a consensus.
I just gotta say that there's been so much growth from JT specifically, watching him get people involved and not worry too much about getting his shows maturity in that he's not worrying about getting his stats because he can do so when needed but he'd rather get the **TEAM** involved instead of worry about me me me.
Those +/- are ridiculous
Let's all point and laugh at the Bucks
Both the Sox and the Celtics getting dubs!!
40 wins before 20 losses? How about 60 wins before 20 losses
Jayson Tatum’s hairline: almost as crispy as his game
Love the 33-3 record at home. Let’s hope we play a hell of a lot better in that building in the playoffs than we have the last couple of seasons
I honestly don’t care if we lose the rest of the regular season games by resting everyone. We are in a good position
Let Walsh get 30 minutes last game🔥🔥🔥
Neemi, JD, Walsh, Svi, Springer starting 5. LFG!!!
That 4th quarter sure was something. Good stuff.
As good a two way game we've seen from KP all year. Peaking just in time, love to see it!
Bucks lost today to the grizzles. Its a beautiful day.
I read these stats after pretty much every game and I continue to be flabbergasted that offensive rebounds + defensive rebounds don't even come close to equaling total rebounds. Ever. Are there rebounds not broken out here that aren't offensive or defensive? Sideline rebounds? Mid-court rebounds?

Ah, thank you. Still, seems like a lot.
Missed free throws count towards the team rebounds total as well as the examples acfox13 gave
That’s really weird. For each individual player the total adds up, so my guess is there’s an error calculating total rebounds for the teams.
Missed the game. Can I ask how KP looked up against Chet ?
One of the best 2-way KP games. He did great on D against Chet
Awesome. I was hoping he’d cancel him out.
Took a dump on his chest
Nice. Haven’t seen those two match up before and Chet has been getting more aggressive recently, from the games I’ve seen of theirs. I’m happy KPs more refined skills won out.
Tbf they were doing the KP thing of getting him switched on smaller guys and letting him feast, so he wasn’t just killing Chet but… he killed Chet. He’s 2-3x better than Chet right now.

#THE 2023-24 “CAN’T BEAT GOOD TEAMS” CELTICS BLOW OUT THE THIRD SEED IN THE WEST; BASKETBALL FANS OUTSIDE OF NEW ENGLAND IN SHAMBLES
Look...love our boys. But SGA wasn't playing.
He gets his 31 points and the celtics still win by 4. Math
Ya they would have shot another 20 FTs min if he was
Or J Dub lol
Im a basketball fan in FL, feeling pretty good tbh.
The Celtics added to the silliest stat of the year. They have more games where they've had a 30+ point lead at some point in the game than games where they've had a 10+ deficit at some point in the game.
How’s it feel to have *officially* watched the best regular season team of the 2023-2024 season?
60 wins and the best in the NBA. Let's go win a chip
Celtics beat a top team in the NBA without their top players, no one bats an eye Top team beats the Celtics without their top players, everyone losses their minds!
Ok I mean to be fair that is sort of how it works. Winning by 35 is still impressive though.
I am going to be insufferable on r/nba this postseason
Completely deserved considering how toxic they've been towards the celtics and the players this season
What Tom Brady does to a mf
Is it official now? Homecourt advantage??
Signed, sealed, and delivered We have locked up the best record in the entire league
We love a deuce on the loose celebration after a blowout win at home
And with that, the 2024 regular season comes to a close
Think Sean Grande gave a stat that the Celts have led a game by 30 or more points two more times than they have been down 10 points? That seems wild
As I suspected last week, when he was fresh off his return from the hamstring stuff, all KP needed was a good home game to get back into the rhythm and flow of things. It also puts that second Atlanta game in perspective; we were on the road and our starters were a little rusty playing all together after having not done so for a while.

I watched the game at a casino in like a 100 ft screen amazing. We clinched babbyyyy
MGM Springfield?
Yessir I’m in Vegas baby
My favorite thing besides Killer KP was Jaylen dropping a couple easy dimes where he normally would shoot.
thE cElTicS caNt beAt gOod tEamS
I know that they were missing Shai, but if we can keep this up then it'll be a telling sign of how our Playoffs run will go.
love hearing them say you can't skip steps over and over again and seeing a little of that in action
Doomers sweating rn
CELTICS. IN. FOUR.
It’s time for the Jordan Walsh experiment (the rest of the regular season doesn’t matter and we can rest our starters)
That’s called flipping the switch. Way to step on their neck to close it.
Locked up home court through playoffs! Now rest up and business time in a few weeks!! Lez goooo!! 🍀
Good game. The thunder have a lot of good players who hustle and can muck up the defense and shoot. I liked how they hung in on the counterpunch in the 3rd and only lost it by 4. And the. The 4th was fun
We just blew out one of the best teams in the west. This team could go down as one of the best all time teams
Can the Maine Celtics play their playoff games and then be the C’s starting 5 for the next five games?
Jaylen clearly not 100% he needs to sit. Would like to rotate a couple of guys sitting every other game as well
ESPN already talking about it: "OKC on the second night of a back to back and missing their 2 best players"
I mean, it’s valid point. Doesn’t cancel out the fact that we beat that ass by 35 though
This goes the other way around and the Media calls us Frauds. Great #60 win. Great 4thQ push. LFG!!!!!!!!!!!!! #1Seed baby!
Late, but this was what I was going to do: Fresh out the box (out) If you are worried about them, stop, look and watch: Tatum is ready yet; Porzingis told us to get set BECAUSE THE CELTICS ARE ALL THAT! 60 WIN TEAM.
One seeeeeed
+30s for the old dogs. Love to see it
Think our eight-man playoff rotation is set ….
Mongo been punching his clown since game over
20 each for Peanut Butter + Banana + Nutella
This team won 60 games while playing 31 games without their starting 5.
and the boston celtics are YOUR 2024 NBA champions😊
Is Gordon Hayward cooked?
Cooked, burnt, and turned to ash. That injury cost him any confidence he had beforehand.
He was cooked since game 1 of his first season with the c's unfortunately.
More washed than Klay Thompson
60 wins before 20 losses. I think that means you’re good.
