JT is out there looking like he wants to hurt people. I LOVE it
KP vs VW!…interesting…hope they are both healthy.
Never have seen JT that fired up. Complete domination. At this point, it seems like Jrue’s shoulder is in rough shape. Just sit him on Wednesday as well & give him some extra rest through the AS break. Solid game for Al & Hauser really lit it up-just wish he could be a bit more consistent. Also loved Tatum’s comments to Abby postgame. Said he feels like Boston owes the fans for playing so shitty at home. Well they’ve got 15 home games in the 2nd half so good chance to get better on their home floor before the games really start to matter come Spring. Thank you John. ☘️🔒
We going back to back it’s done. 😜 🔥🫡
Blowing out the Knicks and now the Heat feels really good. JT is him. 🔥
I was looking for you at the arena… It was a great game and always fun when they beat the heats.
John, you me and everyone knows that we are waiting for Bam to be free. im 💯 positive he will be the future center for the celtics.
This should be the first and last time they start 1-18 from 3, lol.
You know just as well as I that Miami will not go full rebuild unless pat Riley is gone
I'd like the team to keep this energy beyond the break, especially at home. Still a few kinks to work on, get everyone healthy and fully engaged, and we're going full steam on the championship repeat.
Hi John, who has the NBA Belt title right now?
Another great one John keep it up go Celtics
☘️☘️☘️☘️
Remember Spoelstra was on that Olympics coaching staff. JT was giving him the side eye everytime he hit.
Did anyone else think Tatum looked pissed? I’m not saying in a bad way. He looked like he was on a mission. I don’t know if it was personal with.Spo Or maybe I was just seeing things, but he was being aggressive. And I’m here for it.
That was for Bit$h Erik Spo he the one that benched him w Kerr 🇺🇸 games
Yesterday was my 30th bday, and all wished for was the celtics to win. Yeah, they delivered, lol
You seriously think Tatum will willingly sit against WEMBY?! John you silly silly man. All the stars want to play against Victor; it's box office stuff!
They were joking before the game yesterday that Jayson was ducking because of Wiggins, who is nicknamed the Tatum Stopper and is now starting to age like milk. Tatum said hold my beer
☘️☘️👊
Anyone know why Jayson Tatum was so fired up during the game? He was running over every Heat player and destroying them after the 1st quarter. What got him so heated against the Heat? 😏
Jesus John every lack of perfection is not a harbinger of doom….
Good win🎉I hope JT sits out against the Spurs ..he needs to rest before the All Star game
The Heat are officially a hunk of junk.
Keep assuming…lol
I like the idea that they play without Tatum or Brown too.That game 7 against Miami still haunts me when JT hurt his ankle on the very first play.The team looked like they had never played basketball without Jason Tatum that game. I really don't need to have a double dose of that ever again.
I'll be sure to re.ind John of the nit picking of the end of the second quarter when JB is playing too.
WINNING!!!!!💚☘☘☘
Tatum is the Beast in the East,.Best Player in the World'🤔🏀💯🍀🏆#0💪🏾.
It’s been discovered that the water in Miami makes everyone cock eyed which explains the Heat shooting bricks game after game.
