Boston Celtics Game Day Recap

The Celtics beat the Cavs 116-107 and improve to 18-5 on the year and remain undefeated at home with a 12-0 record. This game was a wire to wire win which is always nice to see. Credit the Cavs for making their runs to try and keep this close but every time they did, the Celtics responded with a run of their own. After three tough quarters, Tatum turned it on and was lights out in the fourth quart...

The Celtics beat the Cavs 120-113 and improve to 17-5 on the season while remaining undefeated at 11-0 at home! The Celtics came out of the gates looking horrible falling down 22-8 early with JB scoring literally all 8pts on 3-3 from the field while the rest of the team was 0-10 so it was shocking to see the Celtics only down 10 at the end of the first. While the offense was a mess in that first q...

The Celtics beat the Knicks 133-123 and improve to 16-5 on season including an impressive 10-0 at home. This was a fun game to watch if you like offense. The Celtics shooting woes turned around in this one as they shot 52% from the field and 40% from 3. We finally saw the floor spacing and shot making that we saw earlier in the season which was great to see and I don't think its a coincidence...

The Celtics faced off against the Pacers in this In Season Tournament Quarterfinals game and walked away with a disappointing 122-112 loss. This was a game that was once again played without Porzingis and it showed. The Indiana Pacers came into this game leading the NBA in almost every single offensive statistic you can name and are a fast, athletic great shooting team and you saw every bit of tha...

The Celtics face off against Philly for the 3rd time this season but this time without Embiid and Maxey and they came out with a 125-119 win over Philly to improve to 15-4. JB started the game off with a steal and another emphatic slam but it was downhill the rest of the first half for this Celtics team. We ended the first half down 3 because of our 13 turnovers and that kind of what happened the...

The Celtics came into this game with a 2-1 record in the In Season Tournament needing a couple things to swing their way to win their group and advance. They needed the Nets to beat the Raptors and they needed to beat the Bulls by 23+pts. It seemed pretty unlikely before the game started but they managed to pull off a monster 124-97 win which put the Celtics chances on the Nets shoulders who also...

The Celtics beat the Hawks 113-103 and improve to 13-4 on the season. This was a game with no Holiday or Porzingis but the Celtics handled this game beautifully. The defense was the star of the show in this one. We saw the Celtics get back to that smothering defense we saw early this season and it forced Trae Young to turn the ball over 5 times and we saw the Celtics score 26pts on the Hawks 16 tu...

The Celtics struggles with the Magic continue as they fall 113-96. This was a game with no Jrue Holiday and one in which Porzingis left early due to left calf tightness but that is no excuse to play how poorly they played in that second half. The Celtics got outscored 29-18 in the 3rd quarter and 36-22 in the 4th for a total of 25pts. While a lot of blame can be put on the Celtics players, you hav...

The Celtics pull out a huge 119-116 win over the Bucks and this game wasn’t as close as the score indicates as Beasley hit a heave 3 as the game clock expired even though the game was out of reach. JB had an unbelievable bounce back game with a team high 26pts alongside a team high 8ast on a super efficient 10-16 from the field and 3-5 from 3 while only turning the ball over once. While he was inc...

The Celtics luck runs out in this 121-118 loss to the Hornets. This is the third straight game where they didn’t deserve to win but they somehow escaped with a 2-1 record in those 3 games. The story of the game for me was Payton Pritchard. He had 21pts 6reb 3ast on a super efficient 5-8 from 3. JB was in foul trouble and Tatum played the entire 3rd quarter so for 6 minutes in the 4th quarter, Prit...

The Celtics faced off against an extremely under manned Grizzlies team and escaped with a 102-100 win. This was supposed to be the first time the Celtics faced off against former Celtic Marcus Smart but he was one of 8 Grizzlies who were injured and unable to play. With that being said, this game was way closer than it should’ve been. The Grizzlies had a wide open 3 at the end of this game that wo...

The Celtics played one of their worst games of the year and still walked away with a 108-105 win and improve to 10-2 on the season and 2-0 during the In-Season Tournament. This was a game that Tatum shot horribly going 8-22 on the field and 1-11 which makes this win even more impressive. We had 7 guys finish this game in double digits with JB leading the way with 23pts on a super efficient 9-14 fr...

The Celtics were short handed in this one with no JB or Porzingis but that didn’t stop them from coming out with a huge 117-107 win over the 76ers! They found themselves with a 15pt lead at the end of the first quarter and we saw a lot of unlikely contributors. Banton and Svi both got first quarter minutes and made the best of them but Holiday was the one that led the charge with 10pts. The Celtic...

The Celtics outscored the Knicks by 17 in the second half to win 114-98. This marks back to back games for the Celtics holding their opponent under 100pts. Their defense continues to be stifling and it is keeping them in games when their shots aren't falling. Tatum led the way in this one with 35pts 6reb 7ast with 15 4th quarter pts. JB and Porzingis both had excellent games on top of that. JB add...

The Celtics beat the Raptors 117-94 and improve to 7-2 on the season. The big 3 of Jaylen Brown, Jayson Tatum and Kristaps Porzingis combined for 77pts in this one and stayed steady throughout. JB led the way with 29pts on super efficient shooting while Tatum was just behind him with his 27pts and then Porzingis added 21 but arguably had a more impactful game than both of them. The impressive part...

The Celtics crushed the Nets 121-107 in a well balanced effort. JB certainly led the way with 28pts and 5ast on efficient shooting but we saw solid games from a lot of people. Jrue Holiday came one assist short of a triple double and was excellent on both sides of the ball. The bench was also excellent in this one. We saw a solid game from the bench in this one spearheaded from our natural big 3 i...

The Celtics fall to the 76ers 106-103 after a horrible effort from both of the Jays. The Celtics were down 14pts with just 2:04 left and they were able to manage an excellent comeback due to some excellent defensive plays, JB finally hitting 2 big 3s and Porzingis playing great but the Celtics didn't deserve to win this one. Offensively they were all over the place and that started with the Ja...

The Celtics lose in OT to the Timberwolves 114-109 in a game that was just sloppy from start to finish. We saw solid games from our guys but none of them were complete. Tatum scored 32pts but had 6 turnovers. JB scored 26 alongside 4ast but missed a wide open 3 that could've won the game in regulation. Porzingis scored 20pts but went scoreless in the 4th quarter. Jrue has 12pts 11reb 6ast but...

The Celtics beat the Brooklyn Nets 124-114 and move to 5-0 on the season. This game wasn't perfect but they managed to pull off the win with a balanced attack on the offensive end. Very impressive game on both sides of the ball!

The Celtics come out hot once again blow the doors off the Pacers in an unbelievable 155-104 win. After watching the Celtics underestimate and come out slow against inferior teams last year, they seem more poised and up to the task this year as they have back to back blow outs. They got out to a very hot start ending the first quarter up 44-27 on 76% from the field and 72% from 3. While those shoo...

While the first games of the season resulted in wins, their play was far from perfect but they righted the ship tonight. This game was never even close from the jump. JB led the charge early with 27pts at half on 7-10 shooting from 3 which led to a 77-51 lead at halftime. With Daniel Gafford out for the Wizards, they opted to go small and the Celtics took full advantage of that getting to the rim...

The Celtics face off against the Miami Heat in their home opener and come out with a . This game started off sloppy for the Celtics missing a lot of layups at the rim and it led to the Celtics falling down by as many as 13 in the first quarter. That is when Mazzulla subbed in Brissett who brought a ton of energy and 2oreb which sparked a huge Celtics run bringing the deficit to only 2 at the end o...

After a very busy off-season for the Celtics, meaningful basketball is officially back!!! The Celtics started off the regular season with a big 108-104 win over the Knicks. They came out of the gates on fire outscoring the Knicks 30-18 in the 1st and everything was working beautifully. Porzingis seemed to fit in seamlessly adding 15pts. On top of that, the defense looked incredible. We saw the Cel...

The Celtics absolutely demolished the Hornets from start to finish in this one. We saw all 5 starters play 23 minutes and they were nothing short of spectacular in those 23 minutes amassing an 81-54 lead before being subbed out midway through the third quarter. This game was dictated by the defense. They ended the game with 22 steals which is a franchise record and is absurd to think of but it led...

The Celtics beat the Knicks in their 4th preseason game . After nearly an entire week off, the Celtics played what felt like their normal starting lineup and rotations through most of this game. They did opt for the 2 guard lineup with Derrick White and Jrue Holiday sending Horford to the bench. Al Horford was the first guy off the bench and we saw Joe stick to an 8 man rotation most of the night...
