Boston Celtics Game Day Recap

After being booed off the court at halftime down 77-48, the Celtics came out with a vengeance and overcame a 32 point deficit. This was the biggest "Tale Of Two Halves" games I have ever seen. After an abysmal first half where we played absolutely no defense and couldn't score whatsoever (besides Tatum), the Celtics looked like a completely different ball club in the second half. Tatum was a lands...

In a game where JB and Tatum combined for 73pts, it was rookie Aaron Nesmith that secured the win for us tonight. Nesmith's energy was contagious tonight and it wasn't just his energy but his numbers proved it this time. He chipped in 15pts 9reb 3stl and 3blk including 2 late in the game on Bridges and Wanamaker. Overall, this was a really strong performance offensively. Defensively, we played rea...

What can you say at this point. I thought the Charlotte game was the worst loss of the season and then they come out and lose to a Thunder team that is on a 14 game losing streak... Yes there was no Kemba, Tatum and Timelord but there is no excuse big enough to lose to this team. Outside of our new big three (JB, Pritchard and Kornet of course) the rest of the team played horrible. JB went off for...

This is as bad a loss as it gets and I hate saying that. I always try to find a positive in games but there's not much you can pull from this game. The Hornets outplayed us in every single aspect of the game except for FT attempts. They shot better from the field, better from three, outrebounded us, turned the ball over less and took advantage of turnovers more. As tough of a loss as this is, they...

Celtics lose a tough one to Brooklyn in a game with no JB, Kemba and Timelord. With that being said, the Nets also had a plethora of guys on the injured list including James Harden and Kevin Durant. This is certainly a game that we should've won but couldn't take advantage of. We had two solid offensive performances from Tatum and Pritchard but the rest of the team didn't quite show up. We had ano...

We played the Phoenix Suns who have the 2nd best record in the entire NBA with no JB, Fournier or Timelord tonight. We also committed 23 total turnovers and Tatum scored 15pts on 3-17 shooting... How exactly did we win by 13 then?!?!? DEFENSE DEFENSE DEFENSE. Our D tonight was as efficient as I have seen it all season long. We were getting in passing lanes, forcing shot clock violations, drawing c...

Not much you can say after this loss. It hurts. Celtics were missing 4 of our top 6 players in Kemba, Smart, Fournier and Timelord and couldn't put together a strong enough offense to pull this one out. Despite Tatum's triple double (14pts 13reb and 10ast), only Pritchard and Romeo had more than 1 assist and that just isn't going to get the job done. With ball movement being one of our major downf...

This may have been the most exciting game of the season as Tatum and Curry battled back and forth all game long. As bad as it was falling down 16 points in the second quarter, it made the comeback even sweeter. One of the brighter spots in todays win, besides Tatum's 44 points, was the play of newcomer Jabari Parker. Parker has yet to practice with the team and still managed to put together quite...

JB was firing on all cylinders tonight. He scored 40 points on 17-20 shooting including a half court hail mary miss at the half time buzzer. He was super efficient tonight all around also chipping in 9 rebounds, 3 assists and a steal. Overall, we got real solid contributions from our starters all around but the next best guy tonight was Kemba who seems to have his first step back. He was getting i...

It's no longer Dame Time in Portland. Celtics come out with a huge victory against a solid Trailblazers team that has been playing great basketball. Tatum was driving, Kemba was facilitating, Smart was defending and JB went to his mid range more often. Overall, this was a great offensive game. We could've used some serious help off the bench which is where we miss a guy like Fournier but this is a...

This was far from pretty to start but for one of few times this year, when the Celtics faced adversity, we fought back. The Celtics went on a 40-8 run including their 31-8 4th quarter performance and came out with the win. The Denver Nuggets were the hottest team in the NBA winning 7 straight games since acquiring Aaron Gordon and were beating teams by an average of 11 PPG in that stretch. With th...

TATUM TATUM AND MORE TATUM. He went off for 53 points, 10 rebounds and added in 4 assists. This was probably his most complete and efficient offensive game we have seen from him in his career. The part that I loved the most was him getting to the line at ease as he goes 15-16 from there. Let's be honest, this game was ugly from the start but as I said last game, at this part of the season, it does...

This certainly wasn't a pretty win but at this point in the season, every win is important. No Kemba and Fournier tonight put the Celtics in a tough spot and we got to see Romeo Langford get his first start of the season. Although Romeo played a solid game tonight, it was the two Jays that carried the offensive load scoring 57 of the 101 points for the Celtics. We've all given Marcus Smart our fai...

Celtics lose a tough one against Philly and the storyline of today's game is turnovers. Celtics committed 22 turnovers and it killed us. The most frustrating part is that a lot of them weren't forced by Philly. It was just sloppy play. The Celtics came out hot shooting 5-9 from deep early and then couldn't get anything else going. Like Brad had said a couple games ago, when we face adversity we no...

Boy, was this a fun game to watch. First off, I need to give a shout out to Evan Fournier. He is getting into form and has looked like his typical Magic self the last 2 games. He looked phenomenal off pick and rolls today tossing a couple huge alley oops to Timelord but also was just super efficient in the rest of his game. He ended with 17pts on 5-9 shooting including 4-5 from deep and added in a...

Evan Fournier explodes for 20 points in the 4th quarter alone on a 23 point night and shows Boston what he is all about. This is the player that Boston traded for and hopefully can get on a night in night out basis. We saw standout performances from Timelord (20pts 9reb 8ast), Tatum (26pts 9reb) and JB (22pts 11reb 2ast) and we also had huge assist numbers from Kemba (8ast) and Smart (10 ast). Ove...

Wellllll Fournier struggled hard in his Celtics debut scoring a whopping zero points on 0-10 shooting. With it being his first game back in a week and on a brand new team, I'm not too worried about that. He will get his first practice with the Celtics tomorrow so hopefully starts to build some camaraderie with the team. Tatum lit up the 1st and 4th quarters with 16 points in the first and 14 point...

The Green Kornet earns himself the Player of the Game nod in my opinion tonight. The Celtics struggled hard to get things going the entire first half shooting an abysmal 3-20 from deep. It wasn't until Kornet made his Celtics debut in the third quarter and made a couple big energy plays that the Celtics took their first lead and never looked back. His very first shot as a Celtic was a made 3 to ta...

This was arguably the best game of the season for this Celtics team. Despite having no Tristan Thompson because of Covid and Daniel Theis being traded, Timelord held it down for the Celtics. We saw excellent contributions from the entire team tonight including 22 made 3pt shots that propelled the Celtics to victory. While our offense seemed unstoppable tonight, our defense kept the screws to the B...

Celtics lose another tough one after battling back from 24 and missing an open 3 to win the game with 1 second left. As much as losing sucks, this was one of few games that the Celtics actually showed some resolve and effort late in the game. The big issue tonight was that it wasn't consistent. Going down 24 to any team nevermind the Bucks is not going to be easy to climb back from.  With the...

Celtics lose a tough one in Memphis in OT but nobody seemed to be paying much attention. All the attention from Celtics fans was on Twitter and all of the Trade Deadline Rumors surrounding Aaron Gordon and Evan Fournier from the Magic and John Collins and Bojan Bogdanovich from the Hawks. Let's break it down. This podcast is brought to you by our friends at Venture Greens Nutrition. They have the...

In a season that has been full of upset, the Celtics finally pull off a matinee game win against the Orlando Magic. The Celtics played really well on both sides of the floor in tonight's game. It was highlighted by the Celtics 3PT shooting (23-54) which was one 3pt make shy of our Franchise record. It was also a career night for JB from deep as he hit 10-18 of his 3pt attempts on his way to a 34 p...

The Celtics lose another game to another team they had no reason losing to. At this point in the season, the Celtics stand in 8th place with a 20-21 record. The question everyone seems to ask themselves at this point are the Celtics looking to tank? It seems like a stupid question to me but it would certainly explain the lack of effort.  This podcast is brought to you by our friends at Ventur...

Let's be honest. Nobody wants to talk about this loss to the Cavs. We do invite MPiece on the pod tonight who is a Cavs fan and we talk about potential trade options from the Cavs and how he has been dealing with losing so much. Just a hint, they are dealing with it a lot better than us.  This podcast is brought to you by our friends at Venture Greens Nutrition. They have the best CBD product...
