Boston Celtics Game Day Recap

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 nig...

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%) fr...

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...

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). Th...

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...

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 sl...

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 w...

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 t...

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...

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 jus...

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 Sma...

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...

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...

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 an...

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 neces...

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 pul...

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 perfor...

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...

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....

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 B...

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....

The Celtics lose a nail biter to the Miami Heat 98-95 in a game that the Celtics led by as many as 14. We played this one without JB, Smart, Horford and Brogdon so were certainly behind the 8 ball to start but the Celtics really played well through most of this game. Derrick White was great in this one and so was Tatum in spurts. During our stretch of winning, everything was working for us. Defens...

The Celtics lose their third straight game to the Orlando Magic, this time 113-98. This was an ugly game from start to finish. The Celtics had to play this one with no Malcolm Brogdon, no Marcus Smart and no Timelord. On top of that, both Jayson Tatum and Derrick White were taken out of the game with apparent injuries that they both returned from. This was the return of the Hospital Celtics that w...

The Celtics beat the Raptors 106-104 and win their 9th straight game! This was a game with no Jayson Tatum and we also saw Marcus Smart and Robert Williams go down in the 2nd quarter so we played the large majority of this game without 3 starters. With that being said, our bench showed up and outscored the Raptors bench 62-14. We saw a massive performance from Grant Williams who scored a regular s...

The Celtics beat the Warriors 121-118 in OT and win their 8th straight game! This was probably the ugliest win of the season for the Celtics but a win is a win. At the end of the 82 game regular season, nobody is going to remember how they played in game 46 but they will see a W on the schedule. This was a game won by our bigs. Al Horford was spectacular in this one scoring 20pts alongside 10reb w...
