CELTICS 2010

Shortly after the Celtics’ 84-74 win, Irving stopped in a hallway to hug Jayson Tatum’s mother, Brandy Cole-Barnes, and say hello to Tatum’s son, Deuce. En route to the press conference room, Irving was wearing a t-shirt with a message from the spiritual teacher Ram Dass. It read, in part: “You can’t make-believe you’re calm when you’re not.”

probably a good thing for Celts fans that the Rajneesh aren't still around to lure in Kyrie.

i hope kyrie joins a cult

The Celtics are a cult

and he's the leader

true

Al Horford is insane on defense, part infinity. Sticks with Collison for 11 seconds on an island through numerous crossovers, then gets the contest block/strip and recovery. He rules. pic.twitter.com/ck20oOu0nj

No more alternate jerseys scheduled for the Celtics in this series (after wearing black in Game 1).

Traditional home white jerseys at Garden, green on the road scheduled for remainder of series.

Remember that Jayson Tatum dunk on LeBron? Tatum does too. “I’ve got a big ass picture of it in my house.”@SopanDeb digs into the pressure on Tatum to repeat his postseason success after an uneven sophomore year. https://t.co/QfEZQceliY pic.twitter.com/c47ypRRkqB

think he took one kobe special contested mid range tonight fwiw

Kyrie on his feeling tonight having such a big game for the Celtics: “It was pretty peaceful.”

“It felt good to be here, in this position, playing in this arena. ... Finally getting a chance to suit up for the Boston Celtics in the playoffs, there’s nothing like it.”

love when kyrie goes to his special place

what a ride man

The Celtics opening night lineup of Kyrie/Tatum/Hayward/Brown/Horford got its first playoff action last night.

They finished with an offensive rating of 144.4, which is the best OR for any Celtics' playoff lineup that's played 4+ minutes.

RIP, Hondo. :(

rip

aw, rip.

Havlicek always seemed so happy just to be playing hoops. This was in an era when Red Auerbach always made sure his players were barely paid, but JH acted like he'd have played for free.

As Phoenix is on the clock...I’d like to officially announce my declaration to the 2nd round of the NFL draft. I’d like to thank all my family, friends and coaches for their support in this tough decision. 🙏🏾

someone on twitter noted that a lot of big men get less valuable in the playoffs but al gets more

And draymond

Jaylen Brown’s playoff shooting splits are kind of hilarious so far: 58.1 from the field, 42.9 from three … 44.4 from the free-throw line.
