Boston Celtics Game Day Recap

Dive into the details of the Celtics' tough 113-105 loss to the Nets from November 21st. We break down a game that began with a promising 28-22 Celtics lead in the first quarter before things spiraled with a devastating 11-2 run by the Nets to start the second, capped off by a costly turnover that put Boston behind 62-53 at the half. The third quarter proved to be the turning point, featuring...

The Boston Celtics secured a solid 113-99 win over the Nets on November 18th, but this was a game of two halves. The Celtics started slow, falling behind by 10 points early before rallying to tie the game at the end of the first quarter. Despite shooting lights out in the first half (61% from the field and 51% from three), Boston went into the break with only a 62-61 lead, largely due to sloppy pl...

The Celtics vs. Clippers matchup quickly turned into a tale of two games, starting with an early 24-point Boston blow-out. After going up 37-30 in the first, the Celtics opened the third quarter with an 8-0 run, extending their lead to a seemingly insurmountable 71-49. However, a massive 23-7 run by the Clippers immediately closed the gap, turning the blowout into a nail-biter and setting the stag...

The Celtics blow the doors of the Grizzlies 131-95 and we finally got to see 48 minutes of great basketball. Granted, it came against a bad Grizzlies team that was also decimated with injuries but you have to love seeing good basketball regardless. Pritchard led the way in this one with 24pts alongside 6reb and 9ast and was making some insane passes out there getting everyone involved. This was al...

The Celtics fall to the 76ers in another nailbiter 102-100 and fall to 5-7 on the season. The Celtics out rebounded Philly 53-44 and only gave up 8 offensive rebounds. They also only gave up 8pts off their 11 turnovers and held Philly to just 102 points. On most nights, that SHOULD result in a win BUT the Celtics shot horribly in this one. They shot 39% from the field and 34% from 3. They didn’t t...

The Celtics come up with a great 111-107 win over the Magic and this one was fueled by the excellent play of our bench. The Player of the Game in my eyes in Luka Garza who ended the night with 16pts 8reb 3ast and a steal and came up huge down the stretch of this game but also helped fuel a 13-0 run mid fourth to give the Celtics an 11pt lead. Anfernee Simons added 25pts in this one all of which ca...

The Celtics fall to the Magic 123-110 in an ugly game both offensively and defensively. Pritchard and JB both contributed a lot offensively scoring 32pts and 27pts respectively but they didn’t get a whole lot from others and JB didn’t really contribute in the 4th quarter either. The bright spot in todays game was the fact that it seems like Pritchard has broken out of his shooting slump so if that...

The Celtics blew the doors off of the Wizards 136-107 behind monster performances from JB and Minott! JB led the way with 35pts 5reb and 5ast and started this game red hot scoring on 16 of the teams first 20pts and never seemed to slow down! Minott scored a career high 21pts tonight and was a menace defensively in his most aggressive game of the year. Pritchard scored 16 of his 18 points during th...

The Celtics fall to the Jazz 105-103 and the final play perfectly exemplified tonight’s game. Nurkic gets an offensive rebound and putback to take the lead with .6 seconds left. The Celtics wasted yet another excellent game from JB who ended the night with 36pts. This game was a nail biter down the stretch and the Celtics did get screwed a bit with a no call on a play where JB was so blatantly tri...

Well I didn't have high expectations for this game but it went worse than I was expecting lol. The Celtics lose to the Rockets 128-101!!! It was the second night of a back to back and this is an extremely athletic, big and very good Rockets team. With all that said, they killed us on the boards and shot lights out and this game was basically over mid third. So much so that none of the starters...

The Celtics beat the 76ers 109-108 in a Halloween bloodbath! The Celtics led by as many as 24 in this game and certainly struggled to score down the stretch after a scorching hot start. The scored 68pts in the first half shooting 56% from the field and 42% from 3 and those numbers plummeted to just 41pts on 32% from the field and 20% from 3 in the 2nd half. The late game execution was less than id...

The Celtics secured a 125-108 victory over the Cavaliers overcoming a hot-shooting start by the Cavs. Cleveland was lights-out from beyond the arc in the first quarter, going 10-for-12 on three-pointers, which helped them hold a slight 42-40 lead despite Boston shooting 56% from the field. The momentum shifted dramatically in the second quarter when the Celtics closed the half on a decisive 20-3 r...

The Celtics end their losing skid with a 122-90 win over the Pelicans. After losing 3 straight primarily because of rebounding issues, the Celtics come out and really put a stranglehold on the boards out rebounding the Pelicans 54-35!They still gave up 11 offensive rebounds but this was a much better effort on the glass and one that is certainly encouraging given how poorly they have looked thus f...

The Celtics fall to the Pistons 119-113 and fall to 0-3 on the season. This was yet another loss that comes because of their rebounding efforts. The final 6 possessions of this game for the Pistons resulted in 5 offensive rebounds and 10 second chance points. If they clean that up, this game is won easily for the Celtics. Coming into this season, I think it was pretty apparent that championship as...

The Boston Celtics' first quarter against the Knicks offered a glimpse of a smooth performance, as the team jumped out to a 30-22 lead with great ball movement and pace. However, the game spiraled into an absolute nightmare in the second quarter. The Knicks dominated with a brutal 42-14 run, fueled by an 11-0 and a 17-0 burst. Boston struggled with turnovers and could not stop the Knicks from...

WE ARE BACK!!! AFTER A YEAR LONG HIATUS, BOSTON CELTICS GAME DAY RECAP IS BACK AND SO ARE THE CELTICS! The Celtics dropped their season opener 117-116 to the 76ers in a heartbreaking fashion. After building a 13 pt lead, Philly led by Tyrese Maxey and Rookie Sensation VJ Edgecombe, went on a tear and pulled off a gritty win in Boston. Losing to Philly always hurts but it hurts a bit more when Embi...

Brad Stevens continues to GOAT himself by locking up the entire core for next season highlighted by Jayson Tatum signing his Super Max Extension and Derrick White's 4 year $126Mill hometown discount contract! White opted to sign an extension now instead of testing free agency this year where he could've signed a 5year deal worth up to $237Mill. We now have our top 9 guys all locked up and...

THE CELTICS ARE YOUR NBA FINALS CHAMPIONS!!!! They beat the Mavs by 18 (106-88) to win their 18th Banner on 6/17 which just happens to be the area code for Boston. If you didn't believe the NBA was scripted, maybe you do now (I'm just joking). What makes it even sweeter is the fact that after getting criticized over and over for being overpaid, JB won Finals MVP!! This team has been specia...

Wow, this game was as miserable as it gets. The Celtics lost 122-84 BUT are still heading back to Boston up 3-1. The way they lost this game left a lot to be desired. The energy wasn't there from the jump. They were outscored 13 in the first, 13 in the second, 6 in the third and 6 in the fourth. It was truly a disgusting game to watch. With that being said, every game counts exactly the same a...

The Boston Celtics beat the Mavericks 106-99 and take a 3-0 series lead and are just 1 win away from Banner 18!!!!! JB continued to push his case for Finals MVP with 30pts 8reb and 8ast on an efficient 12-22 from the field. He came up clutch with 24pts in the 2nd half including 9 of the teams 21pts in the 4th quarter! Tatum started the game really hot but definitely came down in the second half bu...

The Celtics beat the Mavs 105-98 and take a 2-0 series lead and are just 2 wins away from Banner 18!!!! Jrue Holiday stepped up big time in this game leading the way 26pts and it seemed like all of his pts came from being in the dunkers spot with easy buckets from Tatum or JB drive and dumps! The biggest play of the night came with the Celtics up 103-98 where Derrick White and JB met PJ Washington...

The NBA Finals is here and so is Kristaps Porzingis!!! The Celtics have not had this big of a boost off the bench in a loooongg time and it led to a 107-89 W in Game 1!!! After his remarks during Media Day, I don't think it was super surprising that KP came off the bench but he looked as fresh as ever and was a major spark off the bench with 20pts 6reb and what should've been 4blks! He onl...
