CELTICS ARE GOING TO THE FINALS!!! Wow what a game for the Celtics. I said prior to the game today that we would need to see 25+ from JB and Tatum and that didn't technically happen but they did combine for 50 pts. We had a really solid game from Smart but saw a really great defensive performance from Horford as well. This was as well as we could've asked for as far as a defensive performance. The Celtics are now heading to the NBA Finals for the first time since 2009 and are set to take on the ...

The Celtics came out with a chance to close this series out on their home court and get a much needed rest before the NBA Finals start and they couldn't pull it out. Celtics gave up 22pts off 18 turnovers tonight including 7 from Tatum. Both of the Jays needed to be better tonight which is frustrating considering how great Derrick White played. Outside of White, there really isn't another player that played well which sucks. Turnovers, offensive rebounds and shooting killed us once again. The He...

WOW WOW WOW. Celtics beat the Heat 93-80 in a true defensive battle. This is another game where the offense wasn't great but any game where you hold a team to 80 points, you should win. We saw Derrick White earn his contract with his 2nd straight brilliant performance silencing the haters. Tatum and JB combined for just 10 pts in the first half on 3-16 from the field BUT went on to score 37pts on 14-23 from the field in the second half and looked great. Tatum was 1ast shy of a triple double and ...

The Celtics shot 39% from the field and just 23% from 3 in this one while giving up 23 points to Oladipo off the bench and managed to pull off a 102-82 WIN over the Heat to tie the series at 2-2. With those stat lines, how did the Celtics manage to pull this one out? DEFENSE. Timelord came back and made an enormous impact in this one. You have to credit Ime for the defense as well for having Timelord defend Jimmy Butler a lot giving him the flexibility to sag off and meet guys at the rim. It com...

This one hurts. As bad as they played in the first quarter (and yes it was bad) the Celtics were in this game till the very end. We ended the game giving up 33pts off of 24 turnovers and Jayson Tatum scored just 10pts on 3-14 from the field and we were still only down 1 with 2:40 left. This was a game riddled by injuries on both sides. We saw Jimmy Butler leave the game and not return for the Heat but we also saw both Smart and Tatum leave the game and both return so looking towards game 4 could...

Who would've thought that having Smart and Horford back would help? What an unreal performance by both of those guys but Marcus Smart in particular. This was a quintessential Marcus Smart performance. He ended the game with 24pts 9reb 12ast 3stl and a block with only 1 turnover. Zero part of him looked like he was coming back from an injury which is great to see. We saw great games from both of the Jays as well but Grant also added 19pts while Pritchard added in 10. This was a great team effort ...

Well the Celtics won 3 of the 4 quarters BUT we got outscored by 25 points in the 3rd quarter. You will never win a game where you get outscored by 25pts in a quarter. Take that one quarter out and this was a really solid game. Celtics had 42 points in the paint in the first half and were super aggressive getting to the rim which was great to see. Then the second half happened and we only had 6 points in the paint. Really tough loss without 2 starters but this game was certainly within reach. Th...

The Boston Celtics came out and struggled to hit shots in the first quarter but once that quarter ended, all struggles went out the window, The Celtics went on to outscore the Bucks by 34 points in the next 3 quarters and everything was working. The identity of this team all season long was defense and tonight, we made former Giannis WORK for every opportunity and held the Bucks to just 81 points!!! Offensively, we had some monster performances but none bigger than Grant Williams who led the tea...

Jayson Tatum goes NUCLEAR and scores 46pts in Game 6 beating the Bucks 108-95 to tie the series 3-3. With this huge win, we force a Game 7 in Boston! This is the exact reason the Celtics fought for that 2 seed! Honestly, there isn't much you can't say about Tatum after this game. We haven't really had that huge Tatum Takeover Game this series and this was for sure it. Every time the Bucks made a run, Tatum was there with a huge answer. He scored 11 straight pts for the Celtics in the 4th quarter...

Man, I'm sick to my stomach after this loss. 3 quarters of great play outshined by a brutal 4th quarter. Celtics lose to the Bucks 110-107 because of a Bobby Portis putback. The last 30 seconds went the exact way you would've wanted. Tatum drives to the rack and gets to the line, hits both free throws and preserves the 2 for 1 opportunity and then you foul Giannis forcing him to the FT line. He misses one of them but then the Celtics failed to secure the rebound and Bobby Portis puts it back for...

Wow what more can you say about Al Horford! He led the Celtics to a massive 116-108 win against the Bucks in a must win game. This guy at 35 years old just had the best playoff game of his career with 30pts 8reb and 3ast on 11-14 from the field including a couple of massive baskets down the stretch. Tatum had the breakout game we needed contributing 30 also with a huge second half. This game was pretty ugly for the majority of it BUT the Celtics turned the heat up in the 4th and outscored the Bu...

The Celtics fall to the Bucks 103-101 and fall behind 2-1 in the series. This was a game they had no business even being in based on their shooting numbers. They shot just 37% from the field and 27% from 3. It was an abysmal shooting performance but somehow the Celtics were in this game till the very last second so how did we get there. Jaylen Brown and Al Horford turned the jets on and scored a combined 27pts in the 4th quarter and erased a 14 pt deficit to take the lead late in the fourth. Jay...

The Celtics came in and destroyed the Bucks 109-86 in a wire to wire win. If you break this down, you could have 3 different players of the game. Jaylen Brown was the clear player of the game in the first half where he scored 25pts on 9-10 shooting and was absolutely lights out. Then you have Tatum going nuclear in the 2nd half for 19pts in huge spots but the guy for that was lights out all night long was Grant Williams. Grant ended with 21pts 5reb 2ast and one of the best defensive games I have...

This game was as ugly as we've seen from an offensive standpoint in a very long time. Defensively, I still think we played solid. We held the Bucks to just 101 points while giving up 27 points off of our 18 turnovers... That number is unacceptable but take away even half of those points and that is a respectable defensive performance. The offense today really struggled highlighted by the combined 10-31 shooting from the Jays which sort of carried over to the rest of the team. The Celtics shot an...

The Celtics complete the SWEEP and send Kyrie Irving and the Brooklyn Nets packing after a 116-112 win. This was another impressive win headlined in my eyes by the play of Marcus Smart. He did everything tonight. He led the team with 11 assists but also made a lot of the "Marcus Smart DPOY Type Plays" tonight that put this Celtics team in a great position. We saw a lot of great performances throughout the team and Grant was a big piece of that as well providing great defense on Durant and hittin...

The Celtics came out with their sights on one thing and that is taking a 3-0 lead. This was a dominating 109-103 victory over Brooklyn and you love to see it. We finally saw Robert Williams get back on the court and play 16 minutes. His minutes were restricted but his game wasn't. He was sprinting down the court and jumping out of the gym again so that is a beautiful sight to see, While that might be the storyline of the game because we are looking forward, Jayson Tatum was the star of the game ...

Another Tale of Two Halves! The Celtics struggled in every sense of the word in that first half but managed to come out with a huge 114-107 Win to take a 2-0 Series Lead over Brooklyn. We went from giving up 65 points in the first half to allowing just 42 in the second half. The Defense truly clamped down and played exactly the way we know they are capable of. Offensively, the first half was stale. Very little ball and player movement and we were getting killed on the glass that limited our tran...

Wow Wow Wow!!! Celtics come up with a huge win 115-114 over the the Brooklyn Nets after Tatum hits the buzzer beater at the rim. This was as Game 7 feeling of a Game 1 I have ever witnessed. I don't care what people say about Smart but I thought he was unbelievable tonight. Defensively, he must've made 6 game winning type plays and he was also very efficient from the field. We also saw an Al Horford in his prime type game as he records a 20pt 15reb game at 35 years old... Those were the 2 stars ...

The NBA Regular Season has officially come to an end and the Celtics ended up in 2nd place! It's hard to believe that this team was under .500 at some point in January and are now sitting in the 2 seed. The Celtics came out and faced a Grizzlies team that sat all of their starters and we absolutely destroyed them 139-110. This was a fun game to watch some of our bench guys in the 4th quarter. We saw really solid minutes from Malik Fitts, Pritchard and Kornet off the bench tonight. With that bein...

I have never been so happy after a loss and no I'm not talking solely about seeding in the playoffs. We went out and played the Bucks, who are revered by many as the best team in the Eastern Conference, without 3 starters and lost 127-121. This game was as impressive as it gets considering the team we rolled out there. Everybody stepped up. Marcus Smart may have had his best game of the season and JB wasn't far behind. Marcus had his season high 29pts and JB recorded his second career triple dou...

The Celtics rolled the Bulls 117-94 in another impressive win. They ended the night with 29 assists and shot 17-37 (45.9%) from 3 and were very impressive on that end of the ball. This was also a night where the Celtics defensive identity came back. The Celtics tallied 11 steals, 6 blocks and 18 points of turnovers which is great to see. Horford was the star of the game in my eyes. He ended the day with his 15th double double of the season tallying 17pts 10reb on a super efficient 7-7 from the f...

WOW what a game from the Cetics. The Celtics beat the Wizards 144-102 and this is a game that truly accentuates how great our offense is capable of being even despite Timelord being out. JB led the way with his 9th straight game over 25pts. He ended with 32pts, 7reb, and 5ast on just 17 shots and had everything going today. This was another incredibly impressive game as far as ball movement goes. We saw both Tatum and Smart with 7 assists, Al with 6 and JB with 5. Both of the Jays have stepped u...

Here we are with another game where the Jays both score 30+!! I love when they continue to shut down the narrative of them "not being able to play together." Offensively, I think we looked great tonight. Obviously the Jays added in 30+ each but it was the playmaking I was really impressed with. JB led the pack with 7 assists but we also saw Tatum with 6, Al with 6 and Smart with 5. This was a really great game offensively. While Timelord's numbers don't jump off the sheet most nights from an off...

The Celtics lost to the Heat 106-98 and this was a game where we saw a lot of regressions. The Celtics went on an incredible run because their defense was phenomenal and their ball movement followed suit. Tonight we saw the defense that has been switching everything take a step back. We obviously know the defense is going to be worse without Timelord but the part that scares me slightly is the way it changed. Tonight we saw the bigs drop in the pick and roll forcing guys to fight through screens...

Timelord out with the torn meniscus, Al out for personal reasons and the Jays both out with tendinopathy (resting on a back to back) and the Celtics managed to not only make this a game, but they brought it to OT and had a couple chances at winning it. Celtics lose to Toronto in OT 115-112. Was this game perfect? Absolutely not, BUT what are you expecting when you are down 4 starters against a playoff team. As I'm watching this game, I saw a bunch of guys step up, hustle their butts off and make...

The Celtics came out firing early and never stopped. We beat the Timberwolves 134-112 for our 6th straight win which catapulted us into First Place in the Eastern Conference! This was another huge game for the Jays who both put up 30+ pts once again. We got solid contributions all around. I thought Timelord was phenomenal tonight with another double double (13pts 10reb) and I think Grant did an excellent job defensively tonight on KAT. We had excellent Guard play once again where we saw Smart wi...

WOW! That is all you can say about this one in an impressive 125-97 win over the Jazz. The Celtics came out guns a blazing shooting 10-10 from the field and 6-6 from 3 to start. They built a 28-12 lead early and never looked back. The story of the game was playmaking highlighted by a season high 37 assists and Marcus Smart led the way with 13 tonight! We had another spectacular game from the Jays as they both contributed 26pts on super efficient shooting while Jaylen also chipped in 5ast. As I'v...

The Celtics finish off a 4 game West Coast Trip by beating the Thunder 132-123 to complete the 4 game sweep. This was one of the worst defensive games we have seen in a while that led to 72 points in the second half alone BUT we were on the second night of a back to back with Smart and Timelord both sitting out. Overall, not a great game defensively but the offense was buzzing once again. Batman Grant Williams had a career high 20 points and also added in 10 rebounds for a beautiful double doubl...

The Celtics blow out the Nuggets and leading MVP Candidate Nikola Jokic 124-104 tonight in another Raining Jays Masterclass. This is the second game in a row where they both scored 30+ pts and it was another extremely efficient night. They both scored 30 tonight on less than 20 shots which is so incredibly impressive. What impressed me the most tonight was the bench though. Pritchard once again led the charge on this front with 17pts on 5-5 from 3 but the entire bench was on point. Between Pritc...

The Celtics dominated the Kings in this 126-97 Win! The Jays combined for 62 points and were both super efficient. Jayson Tatum shot 7-10 from 3 and Jaylen Brown was getting to the rim with ease. This was an absolute masterclass from both of them. We also saw great contributions from basically everyone who played BUT one sticks out to me more than the rest and that is Payton Pritchard. Abby Chin talked about this during the game but Pritchard has led the team in 4th quarter scoring for 4 straigh...
