Revenge of the Celtics, will a bad loss fuel them into a win tonight?

1st Quarter

JT came for retribution! So far we are getting the JT from the other night in NY. We are getting that special player who is able to do anything on the floor. Question of the day is how do we build around JT and JB to maximize what they bring? So far this roster hasn't cut it. Or is it the coaches rotations?

Is new head coach Ime Udoka maximizing his stars? Given some of his roster pairings on the floor the other question we could ask is, does Ime have a true feel for what the Jays need around them at the end of the game? Given he's a rookie head coach he deserves time to prove himself, but so far the results are not very good. We need to see the close losses become wins if we are going to make any noise this season.

2nd Quarter

An early 8 point lead for the Knicks, yet there is hope they can right the ship tonight. As the Knicks were ready for an easy layup, JRich hustled hard and made sure it didn't happen. His impact one the floor this season has been very good. He deserves more minutes with the Jays. He has that it factor, he's a playmaker on both ends.

Defense is coming to bang tonight, in what feels like an old 80s or 90s game, it's been very physical. Both teams are getting their opportunity to show they can play this style. I'm all for this style of play but softees like LBJ, can't handle it so the NBA placates to his weak demeanor.

3rd Quarter

JB assertive to start the third, gotta love seeing him take the rock to the hoop, using his silky smooth ability to do what he wants. He has a buttery smooth way about him, on the floor. Ime needs to utilize JB and JTs skill sets by developing offensive plays around their skills. Use what they do well and maximize it.

Valiant team effort to get this third quarter rolling. Offensively, defensively, we are seeing a Celtics team that knows they are better than the Knicks. The Knicks play hard, but talent wise they don't have a JT or JB type player. Randle is close but he's not lighting that cigar yet. All of a sudden the refs are calling things a bit tighter than earlier.

4th Quarter

Will this be the game that the fourth quarter woes stop? Do we see a team ready to atone for past play in the fourth? Will this group put it together and figure out how to close out a game?! If we have any chance of making the playoffs we need to start winning the fourth quarter. No more meltdowns, this is the game to break that trend.

Celtics lead by 20, given how they blew the last game vs the Knicks, tonight seems different. They came out firing from all cylinders! Now you just need to continue to grind them into the parquet. Gotta love DS hustling on a ball that eventually lead him out of bounds. They should play like that all the damn time. I have to ask the question, where is Romeo and 3Smith? These guys deserve some run tonight.

Post game thoughts, as we wonder where this season will take us where do we go from here? Does Brad make some smaller yet impactful moves? Who is our biggest trade asset? DS, picks, or a combo of player/picks. This roster currently constructed isn't winning a ring. They can be a tough team, but the East is deep. What's the plan Celtics fans, I'd love some of your thoughts. Bleed Green!

KEEP THE JAYS TOGETHER FOREVER

The Elm Street Nightmare

A true-and-suspenseful horror tale of haunting, homicides and the hunt for triple-murderer, Daniel Laplante - as told by the cops that were there By Lt. Thomas Lane (Ret.) Daniel Laplante - cold, calm, clever, calculating- Photo: YouTube Elm Street surfaces on four occasions in the Laplante saga: 1.) He resided on Elm Street in Townsend, Massachusetts 2.)

He was tried, convicted and sentenced for the murders at Superior Court , corner of Elm Stree t and Gorham Street, Lowell, Massachusetts. When evil and cleverness reside in the same mind, the stage is often set for true horror. Such was the case with triple-murderer, Daniel Laplante . As a 16-year old , he quickly transitioned from: Minor thefts and breaking into homes To: Taunting and threatening a father and his two daughters as an unseen

Rules of survival: When search-and-rescue turns into body recovery

How the Hell did this happen? Two days after 19-year-old Emily Sotelo was supposedly dropped off in Franconia Notch (NH) at roughly 5:00 AM ET, Sunday, November 20, 2022 by her mother, to hike several mountains alone, the search continues for the young lady. Photo by Linda Lane The information from news agencies indicated that Emily started hiking the trails while it was still dark. She was supposedly wearing only sneakers, a coat and workout pants. I can persona;ly attest that the weather in the area was very cold with high wind speeds, and gaining elevation on the trails would only add to the horrendous conditions. Ms. Sotelo was reportedly a seasoned hiker, but had little or no experience hiking in winter. At the peaks, temperatures on that Sunday dropped to zero degrees with a wind chill of minus-30 degrees. It is beyond my comprehension to imagine a hiker-of-experience tackling that kind of travel - in extreme weather - with only basic clothes and few (or no) supplies. I have hik

Nik Stauskas adds "shooting with size" voiced by Brad Stevens

As a 6'6" shooting guard, 28-year-old Nik Stauskas adds that shooting with size sorely needed by the Boston Celtics. Drafted 8th-overall by the Sacramento Kings in 2014, Stauskas has bounced around to various teams since then. Nik Stauskas' deal with the Boston Celtics includes non-guaranteed salary for the second season in 2022-23, a source tells @celticsblog . — Keith Smith (@KeithSmithNBA) March 4, 2022 Nik has never averaged more than 9.5 points per game in the NBA, but Boston is most likely counting on his production for Grand Rapids in the G League as the incentive to sign him. In 17 games thus far, he has averaged 24.7 PPG, 6.2 RPG, 4.8 APG - while shooting 50% on field goals and 45% on treys. Nik Stauskas is signing a two-year deal with the Boston Celtics, his agents Mark Bartelstein and Andy Shiffman of @PrioritySports tell ESPN. Stauskas had an historic week, scoring 100 points on 57 and 43 point performances in back-to-back games for Grand Rapids. — Adrian Wo
