Tatum named himself Big Deuce. It's apropos of how he plays in big games.

No one has put up 33/13/6/1/1 in Celtics playoff history. Until today. Good bounce-back, JT!
Good win. Get the next one too!

They didn't do a ton this game. But Pritchard had a huge 3 and Hauser had a huge 3 too.
The pritchard 3 was huge, put us up by 12 when the Cabs were hanging around only down 9 and could have made a run to come abck and beat us..that 3 was huge to give the momentum back ton us and put the lead more out of reach.
Those dudes both continue to just chip in and do their part. Can't ask for much more from your 7th/8th men. ..especially on dirt cheap contracts.
You gotta love these 2 guys. They always play hard and play the right way.

The Cavs do everything they can to avoid having him switch. Which creates other issues but I think they would rather live with that than have Garland get hunted.

Thank you JT! Waiting for this type of performance for awhile now. Feels so damn good. His stinkers in the other games hurt as a fan

Tatum had 33 points but his defense and rebounding today was even better. It’s been awhile seeing Tatum this aggressive on both ends.

Stringing together good performances in a row will do that.
Until then there's always the next game they turtle.
As long as they play like Ninja Turtles, that's fine!

Like I said earlier, JT scoring 30 in this game is too obvious.

VC to Joe and Horford had the Cavs won.

Jaylen had a good game. Other than some bad and avoidable turnovers, made his shots, attacked the rim.

Holiday was huge today. He scored 18 points, played really good defense, and grabbed some really timely rebounds too.

IMO they're still young maturity-wise.
They're slow learners.
We will see more consistency and efficiency from those two in a couple of years.
Right now they're good enough to win it all, but all the criticisms are valid.
