Anfernee Simons can be Celtics version of Vinnie Johnson

 Anyone remember Vinnie Johnson, aka "The Microwave" . Former Celtics head honcho Danny Ainge dubbed him with the moniker because Vinnie would heat up fast when coming off the bench for the Detroit Pistons in the late 80s. Johnson averges 24.7 minutes per game for his career, and the 6'2" combo guard was primarily a scorer and often gave the opposition, including Boston, fits. Well, the Boston Celtics currently have their own version of "The Microwave" in 6'3" guard, Anfernee Simons . Simons is averaging 24.2 PPG off the bench for Boston, and he is hitting 44% from the field and 41% on the long ball . Like Vinnie, he is primarily a scorer - and can be a deadly one. In Jayson Tatum's absence, he has he has excelled in his offensive role. From his arrival in Boston, Anfernee has been the subject of trade talks , He will earn roughly $27.7 million this season on an expiring contract. But the trade deadline is approaching, and Brad Stevens ...

Atlanta Georgia

      Jaylen Brown has been balling in this game, I mean it's no surprise given he's back home. He's truly playing at an MVP level this season. Imagine how good we will be once JT comes back?! I wouldn't make any moves unless we can bring someone in thru the buyout market. The Cs team chemistry has been something to behold. You can't knock chemistry especially when guys believe in one another. All these guys have accepted the challenge this season and are succeeding.       Anfernee Simons named after Penny Hardaway has been elite off the bench. This kid has shown me a ton and I wasn't that pleased when we got rid of Jrue for him. Thankfully this young man has shown he can play and do it in Boston. Cs have crashing the boards really well tonight. Offensively they have been elite and are cooking up some Hawk for dinner. Sam Hauser has been an assassin here in the first half. He's on fire as you can see the Nets are smoking every time he hits a three. JB ...

Miami

      Cs are in Miami as they are on a 2 game skid, honesty they need this win. The loss to the Spurs I get but losing to the Pacers unacceptable. Time for the Cs to dig in on D and get JB going early. In regards to trading for Jaren Jackson Jr, I love him as a player but he's not worth the money or capital. You need balance on your roster. JB and JT can be your top Dawgs and then allow guys like DWhite and others to do their job. Cs are going with Hauser, Pritch, Queta Brown and White as starters.       This Heat floor is gross, so are their stupid uniforms. Sam gets us on the board with the tip in. The Cs suck right out of the gate and look terrible. Joe needs to and calls a timeout. I'm disgusted with how we have started. Why am I wasting my time watching this crap? I guess it's because I ultimately love the Celtics. Cs end up getting back into the game as they have tightened up their defense. Guys are guarding their yards and starting to grind the ...

On the road again...

       Cs fail to come up big and lose to a horrendous Pacer team. No JB is like throwing away a game. Cs had an anemic third in which ultimately cost them the game. You can't have these scoring droughts and expect to win. For a team who has overachieved, these past few games have been very disappointing. Losing to a short handed Nuggets team and now this terrible Pacer team. Losing to the Spurs wasn't ideal but that's a good team. Some of this seasons losses have just been pitiful. I don't enjoy watching my team lose to inferior opponents.      JB is truly an MVP because the Cs were lost without him. Too many poor possessions with no direction. Way too many missed shots and some poor defense. The Cs had moments but not enough to pull this one out. Kudos to Queta for playing his butt off. I love that kid. I hope this long road trip doesn't set us on a losing path. Miami isn't easy and neither are the Hawks. Waiting for us on Martin Luther King Jr Day a...

Wemby In Town

      Cs take on the beast that is the San Antonio Spurs. Let's welcome back Luke Kornet! I'm afraid Fox might go off... Cs are cold and need to warm up like a sauce on simmer. Cs are on a ten 0 run and must be Butter cause they are on a roll! LETS GO! Tonight's game has a great feel to it and JB is our here shooting moon balls! I'll tell you this much what a game. It just shows how good the Cs are and can get even better. The referees were horrendous and JB called em out for it.       The Cs missed some opportunities tonight but you can't ignore the one sided calls. Wemby is legit and that whole team is scary. Clearly they beat OKC for a reason. Actually several reasons since they beat them a few times. There some good teams out West and we can hang with them there is no doubt in my mind. Unfortunately we can't hang with the refs... Derrick White played an incredible game and was a hawk on defense. He just gets better and better one of my absolute fav...

Jaylen Brown finally getting respect - now third on MVP Ladder

 Well, it took a while, but right now the Celtics Jaylen Brown is getting the recognition he deserves. He now sits at #3 in the Kia MVP Race . Brown is having a career-year in the absence of his partner, Jayson Tatum . He took over the reins of the team and is averaging 29.6 PPG, 6.4 RPG, 5.0 APG and 1.0 SPG . Jaylen is an absolute menace to opponents on both ends of the court . He is a master of mid-range and a defensive demon . Oh, and by the way, his team is in second place in the East standings, which is well beyond what was predicted for The Green this season. Kudos to Jaylen, Brad Stevens, Joe Mazzulla and his staff - and Jaylen's comrades on the court. They are working hard - are fun to watch - and are winning at a clip totally unexpected. Are you not entertained? I am!

Raptor Extinction...

      Cs are coming off a bad loss given the Nuggets had no Jokic. JB didn't get any calls whatsoever that night either. I expect to see a more focused Celtics team that is going to hamdle their business. They are currently 2-0 vs the Raptors, both wins in Toronto. With that said we are in the Garden so why not take it to em! Cs fans are we excited to see the Patriots play Sunday night?! I know I am, they have exceeded expectations as have the Cs. Vrabel is an excellent coach and has a great staff. Drake Maye is playing incredibly and I love our run game. Expect the D to be stout come Sunday night.       PP hits the first three of the game, I hope it's the first of many for him. PP is having himself quite the first quarter. The entire team seems to be locked in. Love seeing JB bring down the house with his dunks. Sam Hauser is perfect from deep right now and he's been due for a big game. Let's hope he keeps it rolling all game. Crazy to think this Rapt...
