Boston Celtics Game Day Recap

Okay so here's how I look at this trade deadline. We got rid of Bol Bol and PJ Dozier who likely would never have played a game for us. We got rid of Bruno who never played and we got rid of Freedom who was a massive defensive liability and has already been waived. We basically swapped second round picks with the Magic which is most likely a win because they're worse than us lol.  Now it's time to...

The Celtics came out tonight on a mission. They started this game up 28-2 and everything was working as beautifully as we've seen all year. The defense was stifling as the Celtics forced 7 turnovers and there was excellent ball and player movement creating easy open shots. Besides a very small run from Brooklyn that brought this game down to 11 at one point in the second, the Celtics held a pretty...

The Celtics continue the blowout train with a big 116-83 win over the lowly Magic. This was a very ugly game for the majority of it as the Celtics finished the game once again shooting under 30% with a ton of attempts. With that being said the Celtics turned things up mid way through the third and really picked up the defensive intensity as well as ball and player movement. Dennis was a major part...

Well this one was over early. The Celtics came out of the gate super aggressive offensively and were even better defensively. They found themselves up 28-16 after the first and never looked back as they cruised to a 102-93 win over the Pistons. They held a double digit lead every minute of the next 3 quarters until 20 seconds left in the game. This game had a couple of monster performances individ...

The Celtics defeat the Hornets 113-107 and are now 10-4 in their last 14 games. They are really looking like they are turning the corner and hopefully this keeps up. Tonight, the Celtics ball and player movement was as good as we've seen all season long. They ended the night with 31 assists with Tatum leading the way with 9 but we also saw both Smart and JB add in 6 each. In a game where both Tatu...

The Celtics faced off against a very depleted Heat team missing Jimmy Butler, Kyle Lowry and PJ Tucker and took full advantage of it tonight in this big 122-92 W. The Celtics came out firing on all cylinders ending the first quarter up 27-14 but found themselves tied shortly after. After an Ime timeout, the Celtics flipped a switch and ended the 2nd quarter up 9 before blowing the doors off the ga...

The Celtics put together a pretty complete performance tonight against a bad Pelicans team with a 107-97 W. We saw defensive intensity against a team that loves to push the pace. We saw great ball and player movement highlighted by the 12 assists from Marcus Smart. We saw a big man in Robert Williams impact the game at every level with 8pts 16reb 4ast 4blk and 1stl. We also got to see both of the...

Here we are 50 games into this season and we are back at .500 yet again. After two unbelievable shooting performances from deep going 44% and 48% against the Kings and Wizards respectively, the Celtics went back to their norm to shoot a scorching 19% from 3 losing to the Hawks 108-92. The funny part about this loss is that shooting 19% isn't the main reason we lost this game. The biggest reason in...

WOW. After blowing out the Wizards by 29 points, the Celtics bounced back and destroyed the Kings by 53 points. This is a game where there is absolutely nothing to complain about. Both of the Jays went off and scored 66 combined points on very efficient shooting numbers, Timelord had a monster game with 13pts, 17reb, 4ast, 3stl and 2blk and Marcus Smart did a fantastic job facilitating. This was a...

After missing his last 20 3pt attempts, Jayson Tatum absolutely erupts for 51 points leading the Celtics to a 116-87 win over the Wizards. This was a masterful performance from Tatum scoring 51 and adding in 10reb and 7ast on 18-28 from the field and 9-14 from 3. This was an all time Tatum performance where he was getting absolutely anything he wanted which was certainly good to see after all the...

Here we are with another game and another epic 4th quarter collapse. The Celtics lost 109-105 to the Trailblazers after leading 100-89 with 7:35 left. Yes, you read that correct. We scored 5 points in the final 7:35 and all of them were free throws that came with less than a minute left. Not a single field goal made which is just unacceptable for a team with 2 all star level talents (I don't think...

The Charlotte Hornets play the exact brand of basketball we would all love to see from the Celtics. They are a team that runs the floor every possession, has 2 guards that love to drive and dish and then have plenty of guys around them that knock down open shots. The funny thing about this loss is that the Celtics actually moved the ball really well tonight but once again, guys were simply not hit...

This was truly a tale of two halves. The Celtics came out horrible in this one both offensively and defensively. We got outscored 29-18 in the first and started the second horrible as well getting down by as much as 18 points. The Pelicans took advantage of the pick and roll, turnovers and also their youth resulting in them running up and down the court every possession tonight and in the first ha...

The Celtics came out with a 114-112 win over the Chicago Bulls in one of the more balanced attacks we've seen this season. 6 out of the 9 guys who played ended in double digits tonight which is great to see. We saw the return of Al who was excellent for the majority of the game but it was the play of Timelord and Schroder down the stretch that won this game. Timelord came up huge for the Celtics s...

This game was horrible. We break it down and talk about trading Schroder.

Jaylen and Jayson FINALLY play a fantastic game on the same night in tonight's 119-100 win over the Pacers. JB had 34pts and Jayson had 33pts and both of them shot 11-19 from the field which was great to see. We also saw a huge contribution from Schroder tonight who stepped up in the absence of Smart with 23pts and played great throughout the night. After a horrific win against Indiana just two ni...

After assisting on 26 of 36 made shots last game against the Knicks, the game plan went right out the window. This may have been the ugliest basketball game of all time. The Celtics did win this game 101-98 in OT against the Pacers so it's not all bad but it was pretty close to it. The Celtics shot just 39.8% from the field and 28.6% from 3 with just 17 assists and 20 total turnovers. Yes, that is...

This is the exact bounce back game the Celtics desperately needed after a brutal collapse against the Knicks just two days ago. JB was the star of the night for sure with a 22pts 11reb and 11ast triple double in this 99-75 win over the Knicks! Typically in a blowout one, one of two things will happen: either your team will do something incredible like hitting a million threes or the other team wil...

The Celtics were riding high up 57-32 against the Knicks with just under 4 minutes left in the first half. The ball was moving and we were hitting shots like the best of them. Offensively and defensively the Celtics were playing excellent basketball in the first half and then the wheels fell off the wagon once again. There are few things in life that are guaranteed but at this point, the Celtics b...

The Celtics finally have a healthy (ish) team again and fall 99-97 to the Spurs. This is the first time in a long time that we had our normal starting lineup together and to start it looked good. Jaylen Brown was cooking early and Marcus Smart was zipping the ball around like the PG we have been asking for. Once JB checked out and Schroder checked in, we saw the ball move through Schroder and Tatu...

After a huge win to end 2021 against the Suns, the Celtics looked to start 2022 on a high note as well. the first quarter they came out and played fairly well and looked like they were going to win this handily. They had a 28-19 lead after the first and then proceeded to lose the 2nd quarter 23-17 and lost the 3rd quarter 35-20.... What plagued the Celtics during this horrible stretch of basketbal...

Here's another example of how frustrating this season has been for this Celtics team. This was by far the best this Celtics team has played this year. The ball movement and player movement was spectacular tonight and the Celtics come out with a huge win against the NBA Best Phoenix Suns. This was a game that the Celtics dominated through and through and a lot of that came from the excellent play o...

The Celtics lost this game to the Clippers in an embarrassing fashion. Timelord was the only one in my eyes that played well. He ended the night with 16pts 14reb including 10 offensive rebounds! He left the 4th quarter after hitting his head on the floor making a Smart-like diving play that saved a possession but he did return which was good to see. Besides Timelord being the only bright spot in t...

The Celtics were without 4 key rotation players in Tatum, Smart, Shroder and Richardson but the Timberwolves were without 6 of their 7 top scorers and all of their starters. This was basically a full G League team in the Timberwolves and should have been an easy win. The Celtics did what they have done best and that is play down to their competition all year long. We saw another really solid game...

The Celtics led this one against the Bucks for 47 minutes and 30 seconds but a couple costly turnovers by Tatum threw this one away for the Celtics. We saw bright performances from Pritchard, and Jabari which was certainly good to see from the bench. Robert Williams and Marcus Smart had another solid game but it was the play of our stars Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown that held us back in this one....
