C's come up big...

By


 Our Boston Celtics took on a short handed Cavs team. Kudos to how hard the Cavs played but the C's were just better. Donovan Mitchell is dealing with a calf strain. I believe a similar injury to what KP is dealing with. Let's talk about JT, thank you national media for attacking our guy. Tonight he had 33 points, 11 boards, 5 assists, 2 steals and 1 block. He set the tone early on and despite a few too many threes he did attack the basket tonight. His ability to see the floor was damn good and played excellent defense. His brother in arms JB also had a great game. Tallying 27 points and 8 rebounds. What is becoming evident with JB is his vocal leadership. He's always encouraging and helping pick up his teammates and he did that tonight. 

Let's talk about Jrue Holiday... The man just knows how to deliver and make huge plays. 16 points, 7 rebounds, 5 assists and 3 steals. Tonight he made shots that a former point guard we had would not. You can't leave anyone open on this team. Jrue has championship pedigree and he has shown it especially with these last two games in Cleveland. If we are going to win Banner 18 he's going to need to play like that. I'm very concerned with Als shot. I wonder if he's gassed by playing so many minutes now. He had plenty of open looks yet couldn't really knock down much. Tonight was a quieter night for DWhite, only 5 points, yet 7 rebounds and 3 assists. I fully expect a huge game from him on Wednesday night. 

Overall I was pleased with how the C's pulled this one out. Yet they need to avoid these scoring lulls they had in the fourth. Which allowed the Cavs to climb back into the game. Kudos to Luke and PP who made key plays during the game. I think Joe needs to give Till some run and see what he can offer. At times the C's ball movement was superb tonight. That's who they are and can be, defensively they had their moments. Going into Wednesday the C's need to PROTECT THE PARQUET! 

Celtic Pride! Bleed Green! Banner 18!

Congrats to Al by the way

In defense of Marcus Smart

By
 Let me make it clear first of all that I am totally against making a threat of any kind that even hints at harming, or certainly killing, another human being. Marcus Smart was wrong in doing so in the Celtics loss to the tanking Oklahoma City Thunder , and he deserved the one-game suspension. But to be honest, part of me loved that it occurred. . This type of thing can happen when a player gets to a point "beyond frustration" and is having a bad game. Marcus and his teammates have been under-performing generally - were in the process of losing to a pathetic-and-tanking Thunder team - and Smart was having a bad game . And he let loose verbally at the closest target - an NBA official. Wilt Chamberlain did a similar act versus referee, Earl Strom when Wilt was having his usual tortuous time at the free throw line (per Chicago Tribune's Sam Smith): ''He was in one of those 1-for-13s,'' recalls referee Earl Strom. ''Nothing was getting close. S
