    Our offense has structure tbh ik a lot of y’all hate taking tons of 3s but it works for us. Most are quality too tbh. Just feed Zingus if not.

  2. MrCleanDrawers

    Porzingis and Tatum are PT, because if they are doing good, it’s an act of Physical Therapy for teams to try to beat them. 

    We are offically a Phil Jackson Contender.

  3. Believe it or not we have a target on our backs because of our record, it isn’t always us playing badly. Every team brings their A game against us, I mean, who doesn’t want to beat the best team in the league?

  4. Kristaps Porzingis was WORKING tonight. Man is an absolute unit.

  5. SideRustle

    Celtics win? ✅
    No one injured✅
    That’s a victory in my book! Let’s keep on truckin all the way to the chip

  6. AbysmalParty

    Btw our record last year when we reach 40 wins was 40-16 so we are already ahead

  7. KP revenge game against Wiz, Celtics 40 W before 20 L club LFG

  8. timeknife91

    You can say a lot of things about this game but it still goes in the W column

  9. Whole_Week15

    which one of yall said that this game was gonna be easy?

  10. VortexCow

    I’m taking PP over anyone at a buzzer beating shot

  11. Cvspartan

    Ugly win but we hit that “40 win before 20 losses” benchmark

  12. whydontyouloveme

    Woooo, Celts. Been in the hospital for 5 nights and this was the first game I was able to watch. Thanks for cheering me up, C’s.

  13. Brad-Stevens

    My takeaway from this game is I can’t wait for Kristaps at home in the playoffs

    The guy just feeds off the crowd so much I love it

    Also Tatum is sneaky making another passing leap the past month or so

  14. mrgamecocksandman

    FIRST TEAM TO 40 WINS

    I LOVE KRISTAPS ‘TINGUS’ PORZINGIS ‘PINGUS’

    BEST TEAM IN THE LEAGUE

    LETS GO KILL THE HEAT SUNDAY

  15. UberAndLyftSuck

    The defense didn’t exactly impress but nice to see us get buckets in the paint and shoot (and make) plenty of free throws

  16. Cockadawalk

    Fun game. Washington hit the most 3s they have all season and played hard

  17. ImDKingSama

    Best big picture way to view this game where they clearly mailed it in but won anyways: the win gives them 40 wins before 20 losses in just 52 games played.

  18. FlyingMocko

    They’re limping to ASB and it’s fine. They’ve all earned a well needed break and have take their foot off the gas with Milwaukee dropping further back.

    That 3rd quarter was *chefs kiss* though

  19. DBlackIce

    Wins a win. People need to remember that horrible teams occasionally play good. And we just played C at best. Tingus pingus is goated thank you Brad stevens for changing my life

  20. coacoanutbenjamn

    The big downside of not blowing them out is no Jordan Walsh 😩

  21. GreatBayRowing

    Every team will play hard against us but the wizards shot the lights out the first half. Celtics were in my mind playing it right by pounding the paint when the three ball wasn’t dropping but there just wasn’t a stop for the wizards in the first half beyond the arc. Glad we got it going in the third giving us some space but the way we fell apart in the late fourth is pretty disheartening.

  22. I_Am_Nazgul

    Can we just like ban everyone who starts whining and moaning at halftime, it’s so annoying. I’m only half joking but its funny to see ppl complain about the Celtics taking 3’s but then ignore the fact that the other team is also only keeping pace by shooting a bunch of 3’s too

  23. Hacktivist690

    Back to back 30 point games for KP both hitting the dagger shots, of course he took that All-Star snub personally.

  24. ahsasahsasahsas

    We played KP so much that I wonder if it will affect Sunday. We need him Sunday.

  25. SanSoren

    So many Tatum hatters in the game threat as he carries up again

  26. chmcgrath1988

    another game that the Celtics would have definitely lost last season. Zinger and Kung Fu Jrue have definitely elevated the Celtics from a great time to an elite one.

  27. Haunting-Emu3888

    This game wasn’t as ugly as I feel like the comments are making it look. Wizards tied their franchise record for 3s and Kispert was absolutely ballin.
    Great game from KP and JT tonight

  28. jambr380

    Did we really give up 42 points in the 4th? Glad we brought it after the half – KP looked amazing out there

  29. eyehzina

    I think Porzingis gives the best postgame interviews

  30. Ryumagrave

    We dominated the quarter that Tatum had the ball the most and as usual when he is allowed to get into actual rhythm he played well. The bigger thing I’m seeing from tonight is kp has to be our second option on offense in the playoffs him and Tatum when they get it going together makes the offense difficult to defend for opposing defenses. He’s just such a efficient and effortless scorer.

  31. Distance_Motor

    Good game guys. Let’s never do that again

  32. Wow we straight up lost 3 quarters but the Wizards were so ass in the 3rd they just end up losing anyways.
