Jordan Walsh bounced back after a tough game 2 and led the Celtics to a 95-90 win over the Lakers. The Celtics found themselves down double digits and Walsh came out with a 17pt second half. Overall, fun game for the C's as it's always fun beating the Lakers. Outside of Walsh, Scrubb and Banton also played excellent in this one. Scrubb continues to be my pick for a 2way spot atfer 3 straight impressive performances. Banton, despite a horrible shooting night, played really well. He's a long athle...

The Celtics played in their first summer league game last night and, while this is usually the case, there were some players that stood out and some players that were flat out bad. We break them all down in this episode. Check it out!

First Smart and now Grant. Both of the Celtics bulldogs have officially been moved. Grant Williams was moved to Dallas in a 3 team trade that brought back 2 future second round picks alongside a future second round pick swap as well as a 6.3Mill TPE. Now, this move on paper seems like a cap saving move freeing up approximately $40Mill between salary and luxury tax BUT this to me seems like Brad is gearing up for another splash. After turning a first round pick in this years draft into 4 future s...

In the most confusing draft to follow if you're a Celtics fan, Brad Stevens somehow turned the 25th overall pick into Jordan Walsh and 4 future second round picks. Originally, the Celtics actually owned the 35th pick in this years draft but traded that as part of the Smart/Porzingis deal which netted us the 25th pick. During last nights draft we traded back from 25 to 31 adding 2 future second round picks. From there we traded the 31st pick for the 34th and 39th pick. Once the 34th pick came we ...

The Celtics were part of a 3 team trade with Memphis and Washington sending Marcus Smart to the Grizzlies and Gallo and Muscala to the Wizards with Porzingis and 2 first round picks in return. Tyus Jones was also sent from Memphis to Washington in this trade but nobody really cares about that. Basketball is a ruthless business. Marcus Smart, the heart and soul of this team is gone. He was one of those guys that was the definition of what it means to be a Celtic. He was active in the community an...

Well, the 2022-2023 season has come to an end after a very tough loss to Miami in Game 7 of the Eastern Conference Finals. This off-season is going to be quiet and loud at the same time if that's possible. I don't expect there to be much movement for the core of this team and Brad has already made it clear that Joe Mazzula is going to remain in the Head Coaching role. In this podcast we break down the coaching situation, whether or not JB will get the Supermax or get traded and what moves might ...

The Celtics historical comeback falls short as they lose Game 7 103-84. This was truly a horrible showing from start to finish. The very first possession for the Celtics resulted in Tatum rolling an ankle and he was left grimacing all game long. With Tatum going down, all fans turn to JB and expect him to pick up the slack and then he comes out with an 8 turnover game on an extremely inefficient shooting night. The only Celtics player that showed up and played with heart was Derrick White and ev...

CELTICS WIN!! CELTICS WIN!! Derrick White hits an incredible putback at the buzzer to win 104-103 forcing a Game 7 back in Boston!!! This was a game that the Celtics led by as many as 10 with just over 4 minutes left in the game and they started walking the ball up and forcing things and we watched Miami walk the lead down little by little. The Celtics found themselves up 2 with :16 left and then Horford fouled Butler on a 3pt shot. Butler, naturally, hit all 3 FTs taking a 1pt lead with just :0...

WOW!!! Celtics blow out the Heat once again 110-97 forcing a Game 6 back in Miami!! This was another flawless performance from the Celtics start to finish. It started with a 15-5 lead in the first 5 minutes because of their 3 early steals and that set the tone for the rest of the game. The Celtics got back to their roots and played phenomenal defense in this one. They had 13 steals in this one and ended up scoring 27pts off of Miami's 16 turnovers. This was a team effort on the defensive end. Wh...

The Celtics blow out the Heat 116-99 and force a Game 5 back in Boston. The Celtics found themselves down 6 after the first quarter and at halftime thanks in large part to some horrible turnovers. The Celtics gave up 5pts on 5 turnovers in the first quarter and 10pts off 8 turnovers in the second but only committed 2 turnovers in the entire half which helped the Celtics climb back and then push their lead. While the Celtics took care of the ball on the offensive end, they also took care of busin...

The Celtics blew a 12pt 4th quarter lead en route to a 111-105 loss at home. The Celtics continue making their journey to the Finals harder by shooting themselves in the foot. Tough game to swallow as we fall down 2-0 being forced to perform in Miami and win on the road.
May 20, 2023•11 min•Season 3Ep. 294
The Celtics fall to the Miami Heat 123-116 after an epic 3rd quarter collapse that resulted in the Celtics being out scored 46-25. To say the defense fell apart is an understatement. The most frustrating part of this game is that we out scored the Heat by 14pts in the other 3 quarters combined but that 3rd quarter deficit was just insurmountable. Celtics fall down 1-0 on the series and are now going into a must win situation on game 2!
May 18, 2023•11 min•Season 3Ep. 293
WOWWWW!!!! Jayson Tatum erupts for 51pts in the Mother's Day Massacre! 51pts is an NBA Record for most points in a Game 7. He was truly unstoppable in this one. What impressed me the most was that he was searching out Embiid in the pick and roll over and over and one possession he would attack him and get to the rim and the next it would be a stepback 3 in his face. He drew Embiid out to the perimeter so much that Philly opted to go into a zone just for Tatum to blow that apart as well! As good ...

The Celtics take down Philly forcing a Game 7 after an excellent Marcus Smart performance. This was a game where Jayson Tatum was a no show for a large part of the offensive game scoring just 3pts after 3 quarters but he put on a show scoring 16pts in the 4th quarter alone including 3 stepback 3s to secure the win for the Celtics. This was a game where the Celtics built a lead as large as 16pts and watched the lead collapse giving Philly hope before we stole their hearts! Game 7, here we come!

The Celtics journey to Banner 18 just became a little bit harder. They fall to Philly 3-2 in the series and now face 2 must win games. This was a game that Philly controlled start to finish which makes this even more frustrating.

The Celtics fall to the 76ers 116-115 and the series is now tied 2-2. This was a game that Jaylen Brown absolutely dominated in early but nobody else got it going. JB scored 12pts in the first 8 minutes BUT also got in foul trouble so once Joe subbed him out, the 76ers went on a 12-4 run for the remaining 4:33 and ended the first quarter with an 8pt lead. Tatum was horrible in the first half making his first bucket with about a minute to go in the second quarter. He turned it on in the second ha...

On the night that Joel Embiid receives his MVP trophy, the Celtics walk into Philly and smack them in the mouth 114-102. This is a very impressive win where we got contributions everywhere. Tatum led the way with 27pts 10reb 5ast with some clutch baskets at the end of the game and hopefully came out of the slump he was in. JB came out aggressive again scoring 23pts along with 7reb and 5ast on just 4 3pt attempts. After being laughed at when he called himself an elite 3pt shooter, Al Horford came...

WOW. The Celtics blow out the 76ers 121-87 in Embiid's return. This was a game where Payton Pritchard out scored Jayson Tatum too. Go figure. We'll start here and be done with negatives but Tatum was bad. He got in foul trouble early and never got into a rhythm. He only played 19 minutes tonight and scored 7pts on 1-7 from the field. Outside of him, this was as beautiful as it gets. JB got us going early with 13pts in the first quarter to start his 25pt night and was the steady hand for the Celt...

The Celtics fall to the Embiid-less 76ers 119-115 and go down 1-0 in the 2nd round. The blueprint for beating Philly has always been "Let Embiid cook and shut everyone else down" and when Embiid isn't there, it's a little hard to implement that strategy. The Celtics were all out of sorts defensively and looked really bad. Offensively, the Celtics came out of the gates firing and looking like the best offense the NBA has ever seen but that cooled off as well. The Celtics scored 38pts in the first...

The Celtics beat the Hawks 128-120 and are moving on to Philly!!! This was a nail biter through and through. The defense through 3 quarters was atrocious but the Celtics stepped up big time in the 4th and held the Hawks to just 20pts after 3 straight quarters of 33+. Trae Young cooked the Celtics in the first half with 25pts BUT the Celtics locked him up in the second half and held him to just 5pts!! This game was truly won by our trio of JB, Tatum and Smart. JB, to me, was the best player on th...

The Celtics were up with 111-99 with 5:24 left in this game and managed to lose 119-117. The Celtics did a great job all night of taking good care of the ball. They only had 2 turnovers at half, 4 after the 3rd quarter and then added on another 5 late in that 4th quarter. When the Hawks were making their comeback, Tatum throws the ball away and should've gotten called for a transition take foul which would've hurt us even more but then Trae hits a 3. Very next possession, Smart turns the ball ov...

The Celtics beat the Atlanta Hawks 129-121 and take a 3-1 series lead! Mazzulla has talked all year about winning the margins and that is what the Celtics did tonight. After getting destroyed on the boards in Game 3, we saw the Celtics outrebound the Hawks 49-42. We also saw the Celtics beat them 18-8 in fast break pts, 56-44 with pts in the paint and 5-4 in blocks. Obviously winning the margins is important but having guys step up is just as important. JB started this game 1-9 from the field an...

The Celtics fall to the Hawks 130-122 in a game where defense was nonexistent at times. Trae Young finally exploited the Celtics drop coverage and had a field day scoring 32pts alongside 6reb and 9ast. This game was lost on the defensive end and there's no ifs ands or buts about it. Offensively, the Celtics played pretty damn well. They scored 122pts on 44% from 3 alongside 31st which are both incredible. Derrick White and Jaylen Brown both got in foul trouble early and never got in a rhythm but...

The Celtics beat the Hawks 119-106 in another defensive masterclass. The Celtics actually came out of the gate looking terrible in this one finding themselves down big early and allowing 22pts in the first 6 minutes of the game. From there, the Celtics stopped sagging when Trae drove and defended him straight up and the entire team kicked it up a notch. After that 6 minute stretch, the Celtics held the Hawks scoreless for over 5 minutes and gave up just a single 3pt shot to Bogdanovic late in th...

The Celtics beat the Hawks 112-99 and this was over as soon as it started. The Celtics found themselves with a 30pt halftime lead after an unbelievable showing on both sides of the ball. They held the Hawks to just 44 first half points and were on a string all night defensively. The Hawks were challenged on every shot and the Celtics were getting their hands in passing lanes the entire game. The first half offense for the Celtics was also as good as it gets. They were super aggressive getting in...

The Celtics beat the Hawks 120-114 in the final regular season game of the year. This was a game where none of our normal rotational players played outside of Grant Williams and Derrick White. White realistically only played 5 minutes just so he could say he played all 82 games lol. Regardless, this was a fun game to watch. Pritchard, Hauser and Muscala went off and formed the Bus 1 Big 3. Pritchard had 30pts 14reb and 11ast and was very efficient from 3. Muscala contributed 27pts 8reb 2ast on 9...

The Celtics blow out the Raptors 121-102 in a game run by the Celtics role players. Hauser probably played his best NBA game finishing with 26pts on 10-16 from the field and 6-12 from deep. Obviously we are used to the 3pt shooting Hauser but we also got to see him flex on the crowd with 3 thunderous dunks in this one. Pritchard, in his first game back, feasted on the Raptors matchup that he loves so much and went out and scored 22pts along with 4reb (2oreb) and 5ast as well. On the night that h...

The Celtics beat the Raptors 97-93 and officially lock up the 2 seed with 2 games remaining in the regular season. We played this one with Tatum, Smart and Horford and saw a starting lineup with Hauser and Muscala in it and still pulled off the victory. The White & Brogdon tandem was at it again in this one. Brogdon led the way with 29pts alongside 5reb and 3ast and hit 2 clutch FTs to ice the game tonight but was hitting big bucket after big bucket. White was also really impressive despite ...

The Celtics rolled the Hawks 134-125 in a game where the Celtics played as well as you could ask offensively but just as bad defensively. We saw Tatum put together a solid overall performance with 34pts 15reb and 6ast but the shot selection left a little to be desired. He ended the night 5-14 from 3 which I think is far too many 3pt attempts from 1 person. Outside of the shot selection, he had a really solid game. JB was spectacular in this one scoring 24pts alongside 5reb and a team high (tied ...
