1 vs 3 in the East

     JB scores the first bucket of the game and we are ready to go at the Pistons. Cs will have their work cut out for them tonight. This Pistons team is legit. PP gets on the board and should be at the line. NBA refs are the worst and close behind them are NFL refs. PP with back to back threes! Maybe he's gonna go off tonight, and I'm all for it. It's going to need to be a team effort if the Cs want to spring the upset. Who will be the X Factor tonight? Derrick White anyone?!      Cs are down five and Joe calls a timeout, let's hope it helps. PP with a sweet shot off the timeout. Prayers for Ed Lacerte who has leukemia. JB attacking Cade and looking for the And One. JB scores again! JB with an incredible fall away jumper! That shot was as cool as the other side of the pillow. Man is JB having himself quite the game and season! After trailing, the Cs have grabbed a six point lead. Queta has done an excellent job on the glass tonight. Hugo for three! Cs by n...

Celtics Jaylen Brown rises to top-5 in MVP race

 Let's be frank! Jaylen Brown now sits in fifth  place in the NBA KIA MVP race , but his chances to win the prize at the end of the season are slim indeed . No member of the Celtics has won the award since Larry Bird did it (for the third time) in the 1985-86 season. And international players have won the prize in the last seven seasons _something which may not change with the likes of Giannis Antetokounmpo, Shea Gilgeous-Alexander, Nikola Jokic and Joel Embiid still battling for the trophy . Still, Jaylen Brown has been true to his word about replacing Jayson Tatum as leader of "The Green" - at least until Tatum returns.  Jaylen, this season, is averaging a team-high 33.5 minutes per game, 29.1 PPG, 6.1 RPG, 4.8 APG, 1.1 SPG and a whopping 15.6 2-point shot attempts per contest . He is taking the mid-range game seriously and driving to the hoop constantly.  The Celtics are currently sitting at number-3 in the Eastern Standings with a 15-10 record , which is somew...

No Giannis No Good

     Celtics are in Milwaukee tonight, looking to enhance their win streak. There is no Giannis and the Cs should be able to flex on em tonight. JB will need to come out tonight and set the tone on both ends. PP and JB both are in the books. Good start for both of them tonight! Very odd not seeing Giannis out here tonight. If Giannis leaves this team will be absolutely awful.       The Celtics have come out and looked pretty efficient on offense. Sam is ice cold to start tonight. We need him to start hitting those shots if we want to sustain this lead. Cs have allowed the Bucks back into this game. Timeout by Joe and hopefully they respond. JB had himself quite the first quarter with thirteen points.  He's been playing like an MVP! I love how he is leading this team. Derrick White is starting to heat up here tonight.       Hugo with the hustle play that leads to Jordan scoring. Kudos to Jordan tonight for hustling on every play...

North of the Border

      Cs are in Toronto for a Sunday afternoon game. Cs will need to do all the little things if they want to continue playing winning basketball. The Raptors floor is a throwback to their original logo. Pretty cool logo if you ask me. Cs get on the board first as DWhite scores from the midrange. DWhite hits the first three of the game! Are we going to see a thirty piece from DWhite? That would be spectacular if we do! JB crashing the glass and we are up seven early. I like the way the Cs are playing today let's keep it up.       Cs are going to need to push this pace and keep the Raptors on their heels. Love the Cs getting extra offensive possessions leading to a DWhite three! JB with the middle and it didn't look good but still hit the bottom of the net. Cs should be up by more than ten right now. It's crazy to me some of the games we have lost this season and are yet right there in the East. I mean we could be in first overall. I will say those earl...

Frauds vs the Cs

      Cs welcome the biggest frauds in all of sports to the Garden. Why frauds, because they stole five titles from Minnesota and won that Disney production of a bubble title. In all reality the Cs have 18 and the Fakers have 12. When you actuall look at the numbers in both the regular season and the playoffs the Cs own these guys. Celtics have never been gifted players like the Lakers. Cs have always had to do things the right way. While the Lakers have been gifted players like Luka and Pau. Let's also not forget all the help the NBA and their refs have given them over the years.       Luka is out for personal reasons and my guess is he's afraid to have JB shut him down. No Leflop either who has always been weak when it comes to playing in Boston. Cs are rocking their traditional home uniforms tonight. Walsh with the rebound on one end and a three on the other. White and Queta are developing quite a bond on those alley oops. Walsh is dogging Reeves an...

Jordan Walsh: "Late Bloomer" is on a roll

  Jordan Walsh's first two seasons in the NBA with the Boston Celtics did not bode well for his career in the Big League. Over 61 games in the 2-year span, he averaged only 8.5 minutes per game and his accuracy from deep - mid-=range and free throw line did not bring back memories of Larry Bird . But the kid, now 21 years old, has found his way. This season he is hitting on 56% from deep - 39% on his treys - and 80% from the charity stripe. And he just keeps making hustle plays, on both offense and defense. Listed at 6'6"/6'7" and 205 pounds , his 7'3" wingspan becomes very apparent on his offensive rebounds, putbacks, blocked shots and deflections.  But beyond his God/Nature-given tools , Walsh's intensity, desire and fire are unequaled. His defense kept him in games for his first two seasons, but now he has become a legitimate 2-way player . Jordan Walsh 22 PTS, 7 REB, 3 AST, 2 STL, 1 BLK, 8/8 FG, 1/1 3FG, 103.4% TS vs Wizards https://t.co/6F...

Ballin in Washington

      Cs are short handed in Washington with no JB, but we are playing tomorrow night vs the Fakers. Queta the Pride of Portugal is having himself one heck of a first quarter. The way in which Queta has improved this season gives me hope that his ceiling is high. Cs will need to address the bigs in the off season but Queta is a huge part of the future. I absolutely love watching him play the game of basketball.       DWhite has shown that even without JB he can carry the load on offense. He's had an up and down season but he's slowly breaking out and showing us who he is. An All Star caliber player who is one of my favorite all time Celtics. Yeah that's right I said it. His defense this season has been exceptional. Did we expect anything less??? Offensively he's finding that form and I tell you this watch out folks. Once he finds his stroke the Cs will be in the top four in the East.       Jordan Walsh has shown he can score when ne...
