Kemba Walker did it all tonight!! 32 Pts 6 Ast on 10-19 shooting and 8-8 from the FT line. Overall, you couldn't ask for a better game from him. The part that impressed me the most was how he was scoring. He was getting into the middle of the defense and scoring over guys like Sabonis and Turner and getting to the rack with ease. We did pull out the victory tonight on subpar performances by both JB and Tatum who combined for 24 points on 9-30 shooting. Obviously we talked about Kemba doing his t...

Coming off of two games where we blew a 24 point lead to the Pelicans and then losing a heartbreaker to the Mavs, I thought this was going to be the game that the Celtics turned things around. Boy was I wrong. This game brings us 2 games below .500 and we are now a 7 seed in the Eastern Conference. This was a game where the Celtics just couldn't put together any stops whatsoever. We got absolutely torched by both Gallinari and Trae Young. The big discrepancy in this game was behind the arc as th...

Boy do the Celtics love to play with your heart. In a game that felt completely out of reach being down 11 points with 4 minutes left, the Celtics battled their way back. We actually held a 1 point lead after JB's mid range jumper in transition with 37 seconds left. The 4th quarter comeback was primarily fueled by the performances of JB and Kemba who combined for 24 of the Celtics 31 4th quarter points. Despite the great comeback, Luka proved to be too much to handle as he hit a stepback 3 to se...

Despite a scorching hot 1st half and a 24 point lead at the 6 minute mark in the 3rd quarter, the Celtics lose to the Pelicans in OT. Our "Big 3" in Tatum, Brown and Kemba combined for 71 pts which sounds great but that was on 22-68 (32%) from the field. JB was on a triple threat watch early scoring 11pts 4reb and 5ast after the first quarter alone and the Celtics were rolling. Everyone was hitting shots and Celtics built up a huge lead just to watch it disappear yet again. The one consistent th...

We saw some huge performances from our entire starting lineup as well as Timelord tonight. Overall, this is a great team win. This was a horrible 4th quarter in which we were outscored 36-23 and brought a big lead down to just 9 pts but overall, the Celtics came out with a big win. We avoided going under .500 tonight but the road is not over. This Celtics team need to bring some consistency and stop relinquishing leads. The Celtics take on Zion and the Pelicans on Sunday and look to start a winn...

Trae Young along with his 40 points and 8 assists roll Celtics. This is the second game in a row where one opposing player scored 40+ points on us. Fortunately, the Celtics played pretty well defensively yesterday outside of Jokic but tonight was not the same circumstance. The Hawks tore us apart on the defensive end and were doing whatever they wanted. The Hawks as a team shot 57% and chipped in 26-31 from the FT line and exposed the Celtics defense, or lack there of, once again. Celtics look t...

We are joined by Andre Bourque and Mike Frizzell in todays podcast! Celtics have their 15th different starting lineup this season and down the Nuggets by 13. This was a full team performance headlined by Jaylen Brown (27pts 5reb 5asst) Jayson Tatum (21pts 6reb 8asst) and Kemba Walker (17pts 4 asst) and was filled with contributions from our bench as well. Brad kept the rotations down to only 9 players tonight and it worked wonders. Nesmith, Timelord, Pritchard and Javonte all had meaningful minu...

Will the real Jayson Tatum please show up? Celtics downed by Wizards 104-91 and don't let the score fool you. We got outplayed by well over 13 points. Tatum had, arguably, his worst performance of his career with only 6 points on 3-14 shooting and couldn't get anything working. The only two Celtics players in double digits were Kemba Walker and Jaylen Brown, both of which scored 25 points. JB and Kemba combining for 50 of the teams 91 points is not going to get the job done. This loss drops the ...

Celtics inconsistencies shine yet again in a 108-102 loss to the Detroit Pistons. Defensively, we couldn't put together a long enough stretch to make any sort of run. The 3rd quarter killed us yet again and what killed us even worse was the play of Pistons Rookie Saddiq Bey who torched us for 30 points on 10-12 shooting including 7-7 from three. We're taking on Washington Sunday and hope to right the ship. This is another example of a game where Celtics fans are begging Danny Ainge to utilize th...

Longtime Celtics fan Rob Cameron joins the podcast today! Semi nets career high 24 points and rookie Payton Pritchard chipped in another 20. Both Semi and Pritchard shot 6-8 from deep becoming the first Celtics teammates to hit 6 threes in a game. After a poor stretch of games as far as assist numbers go, the Rainin Jays combine for 19 assists. We also saw Kemba's best game of the year so far with 21 points on 5-12 shooting including 5-8 from deep. Overall, the Celtics 3 point attack was too muc...

Jaylen Browns' 33 points in his first game back after missing the last 2 games was not enough to outlast the NBA Best 19-5 Utah Jazz. The Jazz continued their historic 3-pt shooting as they go 18-48 from deep which was ultimately too much to overcome. We saw solid contributions from Theis (15pts on 5-6 from 3) and while Tatum did score 23 pts, it was a pretty ugly performance from him. Tatum ended the night shooting 7-20 from the field. Kemba's shooting woes continued as well shooting 2-12 on th...

This was arguably the worst the Celtics have played offensively this year besides our blowout loss to the Nets. Nobody could get in a rhythm all game long and the only thing that held this game together was the defense and timely plays from our rookie Payton Pritchard. Pritchard in his second game back, logged 23 minutes and 12 points including two huge threes late in the fourth, one of which brought the Celtics within 3 with a minute left. After a really solid performance from both Tatum and Ke...

Celtics come out with a huge victory against the Clippers in a game that was played with Jaylen Brown and Paul George. The Celtics opted for not just a two big starting lineup but a three big starting lineup that failed miserably. Celtics outscored 33-21 in first quarter but ultimately won this game after a scorching hot 3rd quarter and very timely free throws down the stretch. We saw massive performances from Jayson Tatum (34 pts), Kemba Walker (24 pts) and even Carsen Edwards (16 pts). While T...

We saw some good performances from Tristan Thompson and the two raining Jays but the efforts fell short in a 116-111 loss to the Kings. We were able to watch two of the potential TPE options in Buddy Hield and Harrison Barnes play and they both played very well. It is becoming glaringly obvious that the Celtics need to take advantage of the this TPE sooner rather than later as they are in desperate need of another scorer. With the uncertainty of this Covid plagued season and Kemba not playing in...

With solid contributions from Tristan Thompson, Daniel Theis and Grant Williams (Yes I said Grant Williams) the Celtics push past the Warriors despite Steph Curry's 38 point performance. Kemba returned with a solid night scoring 19 points along with 7 rebounds and 5 assists. Although JB struggled from the field, he did manage to put up 18 points breaking his 20 point streak he had going and we saw another All-NBA type performance from Tatum.

JB and Tatum's 58 combined points not enough to top Lakers. Marcus Smart goes down with achilles injury and Kemba Walker scores 4 points... The Celtics struggle, once again, with closing out games. After watching their 7 point lead diminish early in 4th quarter, Celtics battle back within 1 and Kemba misses a fairly open look from 10 ft out to win the game...

Celtics second quarter proves costly in more ways than one. The Celtics were outscored 36-17 in the second quarter and I think a lot of that was due to the fact that Brad played 12 different guys in the first half. Nobody could get in a rhythm in the second quarter and that was highlighted by JB and Tatum both going scoreless and Kemba only scoring 2 points. Their huge deficit led to our starters playing the majority of the third quarter and you saw how tired they were in the fourth when they st...

Celtics come out with another massive victory today in Jayson Tatums first game since January 8th. It was a strong team win where the Rainin Jays combined for 50 points and solid contributions from Theis, Smart and the majority of the bench. We finally got to see Nesmith play well. He scored 9 pts on 3-5 shooting and actually looked like he belonged on defense as well which is a major plus. Wednesday's game against San Antonio is in jeopardy as they didn't have 8 players available for tonight's ...

JB scores 33 points in just 19 minutes which is the most points in under 20 minutes in NBA history. No starter played a single minute in the fourth.

Jaylen Brown goes off for another career night with 42 points on 16-28 shooting and 5-8 from 3 and Celtics still fall 122-110 to the 76ers. Joel Embiid and Tobias Harris prove to much for a Tatum-less Celtics team. Tatum is expected back on Sunday in a must win for the Celtics against a Cavaliers team that just beat the Nets in back to back games.

Celtics lose a heartbreaker to Philly but get standout performances by Theis, Smart, Kemba and Brown. Kemba looks like his old self which bodes well for the Celtics moving forward. No Tatum ultimately cost this team the game but is potentially coming back on Friday so fingers crossed there. This is a game that you are ultimately okay with after being short handed and with Kemba on a minutes restriction. The frustrating part was being so close and having the lead so late during the game. This pod...
