F*** the Celtics. I'll be at the game with a bunch of my Irish neighbors. It'll be their first NBA game, too bad they're rooting for the f***ing Celtics.

BI needs to keep up his defense from these last few games to help slow down Tatum/Brown even a bit if we want to pull this out.

NBA Finals preview tonight bois

Pelicans revenge tour against teams that swept them continues tonight

I have a gooood feeling about tonight

I’m not feeling real great about this one. The Celtics essentially just rain threes on people and play with a lot of pace…both of those things seem to be weaknesses for the Pelicans in the last few seasons.

This is where Zion is going to be important. The duo of Zion and BI always do great against Celtics.

Looking like no Zion and no Marcus Smart. Possible no Brogdon

Brogdon is a go. Smart is out.

BI, go show them why you’re the best player from your draft class!

Are you saying BI is better than Jaylen Brown and it’s not even close?

Yeah (MY NOTE: Uh, nah)

Toughest game of the season or close to it. Celtics are playing historically well on offense, and they look more unbeatable than last season. Sure, they are questionable defensively, but they can get stops when they need to.

BI will guard Tatum. He’s gonna try to lock him up too. He’s crazy competitive man.

JV 40/15 incoming.

Yeah idk who really matches up with him, Horford gets cooked for sure

Horford is great defensively. Even still. He always handles Embiid well, so not sure why everyone’s expecting JV to cook. He’ll definitely get a tons of rebounds but I wouldn’t expect a lot of points.

The Pels have the offensive weapons to compete vs any team in the league BUT mental lapses defensively has stunted their growth a bit. Celtics are who they are because they’re balanced on both sides of the court but they can take an “L” too.

this is a good game to bet on...we out shoot boston in the 3pt game and win by 10+.......going for the big bucks.. (MY NOTE: Hope you didn't bet your rent money)

Let's keep the wins rolling. Going to be our toughest test so far this season.

How in the he** does this bum a** arena run out of beer for the season ticket holders?

All them titles Boston got ain’t about to help against the flock tonight

So far the celtics gamecast is kinda bearable

the Pels defense is so bad

Ugh not a good start. Hopefully the defense improves or it's gonna be a long night.

Their starting 5 is f***ing incredible. We can’t keep making sloppy turnovers if we want to stay in this.

That is some good offense by the Celtics. Pels can learn a thing or two

Celtics are an elite 3 point shooting team, have to hope for some luck and guard them tighter

Celtics look REALLY good

Hard matchup, any hole in our defense gets taken advantage of. Praying our bench unit is way better than theirs

checked out bostons broadcast and man they are full of themselves hope we smack them in they mouth now

They have so many weapons its crazy

They're not gonna shoot this well from 3 all game tbh

I expected nothing else honestly lol, Celtics offense is insanely good. They can do this to basically every team in the NBA.

The Jays are so good

Would love to see the stats for teams 3pt% vs the Pels as compared to their normal 3pt%. Seems like teams never miss against us. (MY NOTE: 43.5% from 3 last night vs 39.1% season-to-date)

Celtics have been on fire from 3. It's not just us

the Celtics are definitely winning the east

Okay yeah the celtics are extremely good

Theyre not gonna shoot 80% from three all night, right guys?….right?

Boston can never admit that we have the real Larry Legend

I can’t even lie, the Celtics are looking like monsters this season

Teams shooting 40 3s a game is not entertaining (MY NOTE: that's because it's not your team doing it)

The C’s look like they are relaxed and just practicing against their second team

Willie better wake these fools up in this time out. Or it’s going to get ugly.

Hey you might want to guard Jayson Tatum!

Please miss a three Boston

Literally everyone on that team can shoot. It's an analytics dream.

I dont think Ive ever seen Al Horford miss

I really wish I wasn’t right, but the Celtics are doing exactly what I thought they would: rain down uncontested threes and beat our ass by 20+ points. The Pelicans are the worst team of all time giving up wide open threes and the Celtics are maybe the best team ever taking them. We are going to lose by 25

If Derrick White hits contested 3s after fumbling the catch its maybe not supposed to be today lol

3s are layups for them

Alright Boston its not funnt anymore. Start missing some 3s. Plz

Celtics turned on the aim bot this year. Insane.

The Celtics announcers are right. We iso literally whenever BI switches onto Hauser and he's a better defender than he looks

Its cus every team does it against hauser and it has never worked. Not sure why Pels are trying it hes really not that bad a defender.

Another easy win for boston. I'm out

The Pels gave up 40 points in the 1st quarter and are down by 15. What a joke.

Pels have no interest in playing defense

Good news Tatum will rest Bad news Brown back in

I'm tired of small market officiating.

They have to come back to Earth at some point right? RIGHT?! Gotta be on pace to shatter some season records I imagine.

I'm more shocked when the Celtics miss 3s than when they make it.

Look man I get that the Celtics are a really amazing team but it is extremely not interesting or fun to watch them jack up 3 after 3

Will we hold them under 160?

They’re playing on defense with energy now. And also Boston are missing now

The good news for the Pels is the Celtics can't defend either.

HAVE to win the mins with Brown and Tatum sitting, he** of an effort

I'm appreciating the refs not calling much because yeah it costs us a couple of fouls but we're also not getting bullsh**ted on the other end. Giving a good pace to the game too.

Letting us play hard defense which is exactly what we needed to do to get back in this


I apologize for all the things I’ve been yelling at my TV.

Refs taking over now. How tf you miss that charge?

We make a huge run and the refs just completely f*** everything and give momentum right back to Boston

Call it both ways man

The officiating is downright garbage again.

Here come the refs!

Storm the court and hang the refs . Be like the french (MY NOTE: Nwalins has a French Quarter, but the Pelicans don't play in The Bastille)

The NBA, where fouls when you're clobbered aren't called but legit textbook clamp down defense is a foul. What a joke

Another game where the officiating is horrendous The stripe nightmare continues

Every game is the same. We will never get calls.

We aren’t playing well enough to be winning, but it would be a closer game if these refs stopped taking off their glasses when watching the pels

can’t stand how the celtics commentators talk like they sh** gold

Unbelievable that the league excepts this kind of officiating.

Nice finish to the half there. No way these guys can continue to shoot like this in the second half.

Did you know the Celtics are second in made 3s per game? I wish our announcers would address this shocking stat

We actually won that quarter By 5 points. I guess if we can win each quarter by that margin we can have an overtime game.

The good news is the game is winnable. The bad news is the Celtics are playing historically well on offense.


We’re not playing bad by any means. They’re just really good.

The celtics are built nicely, bunch of 3 and d guys and the 2 stars they have are pretty good defenders as well

Their offensive system is beautiful

I guess we came out of halftime and decided we don't need to run a real offense

Horford is a Val cryptonite a big that can defend and shoot threes

Tatum gets a call if you look at him

Al got jonas jumping out his shorts

One team is playing Championship basketball and the other one is playing second round at best.

Dude Derrick White cannot be this good

Just looks like such an easy game for Boston right now.

Brown pushes off a lot

Derrick White is a pretty poor shooter from three and he's 6-8 tonight lmfao

If these lose this game by single digits it’s a win. Not really it’s just a participation ribbon

They are 18/39 from 3. Time for them to go 0/15 this quarter

These refs bailing out the C’s

Pels gotta be the only team in the league that don't get homecourt advantage.

Yea people always talk about home brewing by refs. Makes no difference for us still egregious calls being made

Down to 6!!! WE GOT THEM RATTLED

2 steps forward, 3 steps back. d**n were just not as good as they are.

Every single time they get the deficit down, Boston just easily pushes it right back up.

Insane they stayed this hot from 3 all night

If the Celtics are going to shoot like this all season, they might as well get rid of the playoffs and just hand them the O'Brien right now.

Over helping on defense and leaving the best scoring team in the league get open shots. Great defensive principles.

One sided refs again.

Celtics have 36 total made baskets... 20 of them are threes

Cant make it up JV gets held by Grant Williams all game 0 calls

Can we have a holocaust but just referees

Celtics are a perfect example that you don't need to be a big team to play great defense or rebound.. Val is becoming a dinosaur in the NBA..He has 4 rebounds. Brown has 9. (MY NOTE: See this, Cowens?)

The celtics are so good man

Just don’t have enough. Trey and Zion would’ve been big for us

Every team has injuries, Rob Will and Smart are hurt for Boston

Don't worry, we'll get them on January 11..

We didn’t do bad, this just shows everyone that the Celtics are amazing and can shoot from everywhere

Celtics are the favorites to be champs for a reason.

Turns out the Celtics are pretty good.

Real strange seeing Tatum struggle and they still won the game. The C’s are a well oiled machine. Got give them props for their shooting performance.

Would love to see a 7 game series against them

At least we got funny hats out of it
