  1. Jaylen brown could have the best game of his career and it wouldn’t be these numbers. I love the guy but Tatum is a killer more often than not. How was that ever a debate

  4. Heres an issue i have with folks like you John C and other reporters. You guys never call out these refs. There have been a lot of times the refs purposely take a team like tge Celts out of their rhythm. They will call the game one way and not the other. The Celtics have the fewest foul calls more than any team in the league, and folks dont criticize these refs. Perhaps its job protection, but the players and coaches get scrutinize to infinity yet the Refs do not.

  7. JT was literally toying with Chicago for most of the first half. Then it was like he said to himself “Ok…time to stop messing around..” and Big Deuce just annihilated them. And they had Coby White completely stifled and frustrated as well. Like John said, the defense stunk for most of the first half and Boston basically traded hoops w/Chicago. But JT inspired everyone apparently with his play because they sure tightened it up later. On a lighter note, Jrue completely clowning DWhite for that missed wide open dunk was straight comedy😂 It’s on my Twitter feed if you haven’t seen it. Merry Christmas everyone and thanks John! 🎄☘️🔒

  9. I feel better that you noticed D White. I mentioned today when he didn’t take that shot that it’s seemed like he’s been sleeping quite a few times this season

  11. Absolutely the best game Tatum ever played and just as important they get the win. Great to see, and that's without a doubt an MVP performance of the highest order. Hopefully, there are more of them 'in his bag' going forward. Great analysis of the game John, and the Celtics general style of play too. Merry Christmas to everyone!

  16. Great win, I rather have KP who just came back from injury sit out this game or play fewer minutes, the goal is the chip banner 19🍀🏆💯not getting pay back on a meaningless regular season game!

  17. I have always looked at a regular season games in the same breath as I do playoff series. The intensity is not nearly is high, but I think devalued a lot more then it should be me. Boston get beat by Chicago on a night where they can’t hit a shot. The referees are seemingly one-sided, and they lost to a bad team. They come back out two days later and stomp on that same.
