The Celtics fall to the 76ers 103-101 in a game with no JB and no Timelord and Embiid needed 50pts to pull it off. This is exactly why I am not worried about Philly come playoff time. Our game plan against Phill is very simple. Let Embiid cook and shut everyone else down. We held Harden to just 20pts and besides them, Tucker was the only one who had double digit pts with 11. The issue tonight wasn't the defense but the offense. With no JB, I was fully excpecting Tatum to step up and score 30+ bu...

The Celtics beat the Jazz 122-114 in another full team effort. Derrick White was the player of the game in the first half, Brogdon probably was in the second half and Tatum played great throughout. Derrick White had 15pts at halftime and was super efficient getting to the rim and then was slow in the second half. Brogdon was slow in the first half with only 4pts at half but he ended the game with 19pts 7ast including one of the best 4 possession swing we have seen in a long time. Right when the ...

The Celtics play the best game of basketball we have seen in years and blow out the Bucks 140-99. This game was over as soon as it started. the Celtics outscored the Bucks 34-26 in the first and then 41-21 in the second giving the Celtics a 28pt halftime lead. Then, to pound it in even more, the Celtics outscored the Bucks by 39-27 in the third and even 26-25 in the fourth despite sitting all of our stars. Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown went OFF in this game combining for 70pts!!! JB came out of ...

The Celtics got embarrassed by the Wizards 130-111. The Celtics fell down by as many as 23 with over 9:00 minutes to play in the 4th quarter and Joe just emptied the bench. The starters weren't hitting wide open shots or defending at all and pulling all the starters sparked something but the comeback was short lived. The bench got it down to 12 before the Wizards went on another big run to close out the game. Some people will complain about the Celtics taking too many 3s but I will say they were...

The Celtics blowout the Spurs 137-93 in our 3rd straight complete domination. JB was as unstoppable as we've seen in a long time. He ended the night with 41pts 13reb and 3ast on 18-29 from the field and 2-10 from 3 meaning he was 16-19 from inside the arc. This was the picture perfect game from JB that ended in a standing ovation from the fans in Boston. While JB was truly unstoppable, this was a complete performance and a lot of others stepped up as well. Our 3 guard trio of Smart, White and Br...

The Celtics blow out the Pacers 120-95 making it 2 straight dominating complete game performances. Robert Williams was phenomenal tonight in his second game back from injury. He only had 4pts but he added 8reb 3stl and 3blks and was an instant energy boost for this team on the defensive side of the ball. We also saw both of the Jays go off in this one too. Jayson Tatum added 34pts and was super aggressive getting downhill and his shot selection was great tonight as well. There were still a coupl...

The Celtics destroyed the Kings 132-109 in a very balanced attack. This was a game where Derrick White completely dominated. He had 20pts 7reb and 11ast and was making all the right plays all night long. The only negative from his night was a lone turnover but even after that turnover, he sprinted back on defense and blocked Harrison Barnes in transition and turned that into a bucket on the other end for the Celtics. He was really good in this one but he wasn't alone. JB continued his hot stretc...

The Celtics fall to the Jazz 118-117 in a nail biter. This is, once again, another game where the Celtics held a 19pts lead and watched it slip away as fast as it came. We out scored the Jazz 34-24 and were rolling. Started the 2nd quarter hot and built up that 19pt lead and then proceeded to get outscored 33-30 in the 2nd, 31-27 in the 3rd and 30-26 in the 4th. We lost 3 straight quarters and gave up 30pts in all 3 of them. The part of this game that is most frustrating is the fact that the Cel...

The Celtics beat the Trail Blazers 126-112 in a pretty impressive win. The offense was buzzing tonight and the shot selection was much better. For the people out there seeing 42 3pt attempts, I will say that 90% of those 2s were created from penetration and kick outs so they were great shots. We weren't simply settling for 3s but creating those 3s. Tatum still went 2-11 from 3 so I would like to see that number go down a bit but even he was super aggressive getting to the rim and it shows as he ...

The Celtics beat the Timberwolves 104-102 in a rollercoaster of a game. JB absolutely dominated this game from start to finish. He had 35pts 10reb including 15 of those pts coming int he 4th quarter. He was 12-24 from the field and 5-8 from 3 and couldn't be stopped. He was super aggressive getting downhill in this one and came up huge down the stretch in this win. Jayson Tatum had another off night shooting BUT was much more aggressive getting downhill and it resulted in him going 14-16 from th...

The Celtics fall to the Rockets 111-109 in another embarrassing game. JB came out and was simply unstoppable in this game. He scored 43pts on 16-25 (64%) from the field and 4-10 (40%) from 3 and, as good as he was all game, went off for 17pts in the third quarter. Jayson Tatum on the other hand was absolutely brutal in this game. He had 22pts and 4TOs on 8-22 (36%) from the field and 2-10 (20%) from 3. After a horrible first half, Tatum comes out and puts up 11pts on 5-7 from the field with both...

The Celtics beat Portland 115-93 and finally give us fans a night off from having a heart attack. The Celtics had a double digit lead most of this game and finally closed it out giving our starters (minus White) the entire 4th quarter to rest. Tatum looked great in this one with 30pts and 7reb on 6-10 from 3 so it was good to finally see him hitting these 3s. White stepped up big in this one with 21pts 5reb and 7ast including a couple big baskets in that 4th quarter to push the Celtics lead back...

The Celtics fall to the Cavs 118-114 and blow their third straight double digit lead in this one. The Celtics played 3 quarters of brilliant basketball. We outscored the Cavs in all of the first 3 quarters and had a 14pt lead going into the 4th. The Celtics built this lead with excellent 3pt shooting and an unbelievable night from JB (32pts 14reb and 9ast) and Malcolm Brogdon (24pts 4reb 5ast). The ball was flying around and guys were cutting creating open shots. On top of that, the Celtics were...

The Celtics fall to the Knicks 131-129 in 2OT on the front end of a back to back... No Brogdon or Timelord in this game and we saw Hauser and Muscala play limited minutes because of their inability to hit shots. They combined to shoot 2-7 from 3 in 32 minutes and forced Joe to rely very heavily on the starting 5. We saw Tatum play 49 minutes and JB play 47 and are expected to bounce back tomorrow against a tough Cavs team. This game was certainly exciting and we saw stretches of great basketball...

The Celtics lost to the new look Nets 115-105 in a game where they once led by as many as 28pts!!! The Celtics came out firing early in this one and led 37-15 after the first and were doing everything right. They were getting downhill, getting to the FT line, hitting their 3s and defending at a very high level. Then everything changed and we saw the intensity slip on the defensive end, the pace slowed down and we saw more iso ball. We were outscored by 13 in the 2nd quarter, 14 in the 3rd quarte...

The Celtics cruise past the Cavs 117-113 and I know that doesn't seem like "cruising past" but this game was not as close as the final score. Celtics were up by 20 late in that fourth quarter and there certainly was a massive collapse because guys reverted to iso ball and they slowed the pace which you cannot do against this Cavs defense. They are one of the best halfcourt defenses in the league with Allen and Mobley and the Celtics were at their best tonight when they dictated the pace and it s...

The Celtics fall to the Knicks 109-94 and are officially behind the Bucks in the Eastern Conference Standings percentage points wise. This was an ugly game through and through. The Celtics shot an abysmal 9-42 (21%) from 3 and refused to take it hard to the rack drawing free throws instead. The Knicks shot 34 free throws compared to our 14. On a night where JB was out, one would expect for Tatum to step up but that didn't happen either. Tatum scored just 14pts on 6-18 from the field and 1-9 from...

The Celtics beat the 76ers 110-107 after a clutch 3 from Tatum off of a beautiful ATO from Mazzulla. Tatum struggled for most of this game but hit the big shot when it mattered most. Despite Tatum's struggles, we were able to win this game because everyone stepped up. JB was phenomenal in this one scoring 26 including 10 in that 4th quarter and just kept hitting big shot after big shot. Al Horford single handedly brought the Celtics on a 9-0 run in the third quarter when we were down 15 and then...

The Celtics beat the Pacers 142-138 in OT and improve to 43-17 on the year! This was a fun one to watch because it was so back and forth but it was too close for comfort over a bad Pacers team. We saw the return of our preferred starting 5 and against a Pacers team that runs a very small lineup, it wasn't ideal. I will give credit to Joe for adapting and going smaller while limiting Horford to just 34min and Timelord to just 26 and letting guys like Brogdon and White get some much deserved time....

The Celtics blow out the Pistons 127-109 and we finally saw the return of Marcus Smart! Smart may have missed the last 11 games but he didn't miss a beat. He came out as the best version of himself with 9pts 7reb 6ast and 6stl!!! Defensively, he was an absolute monster in this one and offensively he only took 6 shots with 2 of them being wide open layups after a steal lol. This was the perfect Smart game. We also got to see our other 2 PGs in Brogdon and White play excellent and contribute 6ast ...

The Boston Celtics fall to the Bucks 131-125 in OT. They played this game with no Smart, JB, Tatum, or Al and only played Timelord 13 minutes as they were monitoring his minutes. Most people would automatically write this game off as a loss but the Celtics battled showing the entire NBA what we have been seeing all year and that is our depth is going to be a killer this year. We saw Derrick White continue his torrid stretch of destroying teams but we saw everyone else step up as well. Muscala ha...

The Celtics beat the Grizzlies 119-109 on Super Bowl Sunday. We played this one without JB, Smart or Brogdon and similar to last game, Derrick White stepped up big with another double double. This time 23pts and 10ast and was a huge key to the Celtics win because of that much needed playmaking. Sam Hauser continues an impressive hot streak with 20pts on 6-11 from 3 and is really looking like early season Hauser once again which is amazing to see. This was very much a team win as we saw 8 guys al...

The Celtics beat the Hornets 127-116 in an offensive masterclass led by Derrick White. Derrick White had a regular season career high 33pts alongside his 10ast 1stl and 3blks!!! Derrick White came out of the gates scorching hot scoring 26pts at halftime on 9-11 from the field and 7-9 from 3 and simply couldn't miss. During the second half, the Hornets keyed in on him defensively and he adjusted and had 7 of his 10 assists in the second half. This was a masterclass. This was also another super im...

The NBA Trade Deadline has passed and the Celtics made a solid move. The Celtics currently stand with the best record in the entire NBA and arguably had the deepest team in the league after Brad acquired Brogdon this offseason. With that being said, nobody was expecting the Celtics to make major moves this trade deadline. To me, their biggest need was added depth at the wing position and not necessarily at the 4/5 position but that is what we saw happen instead. The Celtics traded Justin Jackson...

The Celtics beat the 76ers 106-99 in one of the more impressive team wins of the season. We started this game with Horford, Timelord and Smart out and then JB goes down after taking a gnarly elbow from Tatum to the head so we had to finish this game out without 4 of our normal starters! On top of that, Jayson Tatum only scored 12pts on 5-15 from the field and 1-5 from 3 and we still managed to pull this one off. The reason being, all of our role players stepped up and played as good as we've see...

The Celtics beat the Pistons 111-99 and finally close out a win against a bad team lol. Jayson Tatum was an absolute no show in the first half with just 12pts on 3-13 from the field but turned on the jets and looked like the best player in the world in that quarter where he scored 18pts on 7-8 from the field and was basically unstoppable. During his bad first half, however, we saw some huge performances from Derrick White and Sam Hauser! White ended the game with 23pts 7reb and 7ast but had 15pt...

The Celtics fall to the Suns 106-94. This was a brutal game to watch for Celtics fans because it was the polar opposite of the Nets game. Shots weren't falling for anybody and the defense was abysmal. The Celtics shot a whopping 38% from the field and 26% from 3 which is one of the worst offensive performances of the year. On top of that, the Celtics also reverted back to a lot of iso ball in this one. Jayson Tatum shot 3-15 from the field and 3-10 from 3 so only 5 of his 15 shots were within th...

The Celtics beat the Nets and this one was over as soon as it started. The Celtics started out on a 14-3 lead forcing a Nets timeout and then they continued to push that lead all the way up to 27-4. This was a game where they simply couldn't miss as they shot from the field and from 3. We saw incredible performances from pretty much everyone but Robert Williams was the guy that stood out the most. He's heard a lot of comparisons between him and Claxton and Timelord showed the world that Claxton ...

The Celtics beat the Lakers 125-121 in OT!!! Jaylen Brown was incredible in this one down the stretch. He got in foul trouble and was forced to sit during big points but down the stretch he had 9pts in the 4th quarter and 11 of our teams 20 in OT. With the Celtics down 3 with 4 seconds left, he also had an And 1 to tie the game so he more than made up for last game. Outside of JB, we saw Malcolm Brogdon step up in a major way hitting big shot after big shot. This was far from a perfect game but ...

The Celtics lose 120-117 to the Knicks and drop their 3rd straight game. The Celtics got off to a scorching hot start from beyond the arc and built up a 15pt lead. We then saw that lead diminish real quick and watched the Knicks build a 13pt lead of their own. Then we saw the defensive intensity turn up led by JB picking up Randle and Brunson full court and Timelord keeping guys out of the paint. We also saw a bunch of timely doubles that led to a huge Celtics run. Tatum scored 7 straight for th...
