What a win

          When the Cs needed plays the Jays stepped up and made winning plays. Yet how about that freaking rebound by Derrick White! I tell you this much the Sixers are playing off their butts. Yet it's through hard work and good coaching. With that said this game gave me some real anxiety. I'm so impressed with Tatum and Brown making those clutch plays throughout the entire game but especially the fourth. What can I say about these Celtics but I love them and want them to succeed.       PP made some HUGE shots tonight and I live his grit. That kid makes huge plays and never fails to impress me. Vuc played well but he's lacking on D. His passing overall was good and he made some big shots. Queta didn't have his best game but he did what he could. Garza made some plays especially his three ball. Cs will have to use the three bigs in a way to compliment the other guys out there. Baylor showed no fear tonight going after Paul George. He mad...

Playoffs Game 1

       Cs take on the Sixers yet again in the playoffs. Cs own a huge advantage historically. If the Cs lock in on both ends they will win this series in 4 or 5. Maxey is friends with LBJ and flops just like him. Cs have moved the ball really well so far this afternoon. Defensively they are running down shooters. Cs need to force other guys to beat them and lock down on Maxey because he knows how to get calls. I like what I'm seeing from JB and JT. They will need to be at their best today and all playoffs. Cs with a solid start and decent lead after one.       Nice to see Garzilla getting some early run here. Grabbed the offensive board and heads to the line. Dude has been a beast all season! Baylor is in and already making impact plays, on both offense and defense. Garzilla for three! Bang! Brown is starting to pick it up and I love it! Cs are exposing the Sixers in the post as we speak. Queta especially here in this second quarter. Imagine this ...

Talking bout a few games...

      Cs have shown us vs the Raptors and Hornets that come playoff time they will beat them. Overall the Cs have been playing solid basketball and are coming together at the right time. Queta has been solid and Vuc is back which helps a lot. Garza when called upon comes in and does his job. JT seems to be averaging just about a triple double every game. JB continues his MVP like performances. This roster is deep and suited to cause problems in the playoffs.       The fact that espn keeps riding that Knicks train is a joke. That team is so blown out of proportion its insane. What's also horrendous is how Brunson flops constantly. He's a damn joke as a player. Cs will beat them when they face them in the second round. Cs come playoffs will have the best duo in the game of basketball going. Not to mention a complete roster that gives all they have out there. Tonight the Cs will face the Pelicans and claim the second seed in the East.      ...

Friday Night Hoops

      Cs have come out throwing punches vs this bad Bucks team. Sam Hauser has been en fuego. He looks locked in and the Cs are finding him in rhythm. Congrats to Doc for getting into the Hall, but KC Jones deserves to be put in as Coach. I admire Doc as a Coach but KC did so much more as a coach. NBA needs to get their crap together and get KC in! Cs have totally dominated this first half. These Bucks should just forfeit the second half  because they suck.      We have five guys in double figures and DWhite isn't far off with 8 points. Now that's some balanced scoring right there. The mark of a damn good team. I mean I have complete confidence in this team making it to the Finals. Whether it's OKC or San Antonio I like our chances against them as well. This team defends extremely well and when needed can lock teams down. Offensively we have the Jays who both can put a team on their back. Winning players make winning plays and our roster is full of the...

Whooped em Good

      How about that first quarter and first half from the Cs! JB was straight balling and the entire team came out to make a statement. This Celtics team is gearing up for a deep playoff run. Goodness gracious the Jays are the best duo in the NBA! The Cs have made the Heat look like a g league team so far tonight. Man do I love this Celtics team. Brad Stevens has done an amazing job with this roster. Brad will go down as one of the greatest GMs of all time. The man us a basketball savant! Joe Mazzulla has been incredible this season.       Early in the third and JB is over 30 points! He looks locked and he should be the MVP. The Cs lead has shrunk to eighteen and Joe calls a timeout. I expect to see a much more focused group. Time to land some knockout blows and send the Heat home with a loss. Off the timeout we get back to back buckets from our two stars! Now that's how you answer the bell after being a bit lax. JB is destroying everyone who tries to...

Buzzing into Charlotte

      No Derrick White and no Jaylen Brown... No problemo! Cs came out punching tonight vs the Hornets. A little payback for that loss in Boston. JT was straight balling in that first half looking like himself. PP was lighting it up and all the stay ready guys did their job. Ron Harper Jr came in and made some big plays. He's such an asset off the bench and going forward. This entire Celtics roster has done an exceptional job this season. I love these guys and want them to win it all. Anyone watch that Uconn finish?! College sports are incredible! What a clutch shot by Mullins!      It's remarkable that Jayson Tatum is playing as well as he is. For a guy who had a major injury and to be looking like this is unreal. Modern medicine is simply amazing. The will of JTs heart and work ethic are second to none coming back this year. Reminds me of another great if not the greatest. Remember when MJ broke his foot and came back and went bananas in the playoffs vs t...

Big Game

      Big game and the big Dawgs came to play! How about the Jay's both coming to play and impacting this win! Jaylen Brown was making Shai look like just an average guy on D. Is it me or does Shai get more calles than prime MJ did?! It makes the game unwatchable when the refs baby him. Kid is very talented and doesn't need the assist from the refs. Last night was a team win given how each and every Celtic impacted the game. Queta stood out to me with how well he played.       What's really something about this year's Celtics team is guys who have stepped up and given everything they have. Baylor was balling yesterday and has no fear at all! He rebounds and defends like his life is on the line. PP and Sam both hit key threes that really frustrated the Thunder. That Thunder team is legit but these Cs can beat them in the Finals. I love watching Derrick White play basketball. It's like watching a painter create a masterpiece. Whether on defense or offens...

Crushed Em

      How about them Jays! The NBA has a problem and it's Jaylen Brown and Jayson Tatum. These dudes are shaping into form and come playoffs they will be on a mission. They took what was the remains of a Warrior's roster and beat em down. It was good to see old friend Kristaps Porzingis. If he's healthy last season I bet we go back to back. When he's healthy he's incredibly good. Defensively he's a stud and offensively he's elite. Maybe just maybe he will come back here next year on a team friendly contract.       It's so fun watching everyone on this roster excel. Baylor has become a dawg on D and can rebound with any guy his size. His offensive game is tight. Whether he hits threes or gets to the paint. He's going to come up big for us in the playoffs especially on defense. Derrick White seems to be invigorated now that JT is back. His shot if finally looking like it did last season. Our two headed monster in the middle continues to play solid bask...

No Brown No Problem

      The Greek returns and the Cs minus JB crush the Bucks. Led by PP who made up for his poor performance vs the Sixers. Let's talk about Hugo... this kid has some special attributes and Brad may have gotten the steal of the draft. He was exceptional last night and looks more like a seasoned veteran than rookie out there. He still has his moments as any rookie does buy boy he's got something special. On another note the Bucks should be ashamed of themselves for having such a weak roster around Giannis. It's a damn shame what they are doing.       It was nice seeing Garza out there last night and he made some key plays. Derrick White had his shot going. Baylor just continues to grow into his role and Sam finally hit a few himself. What I really love about this team is how they move the ball and get down and dirty on defense. These guys have no egos and truly believe in one another. We are looking at a team who is poised to make a run in this playoffs....

Cs Set in the Valley of the Sun

       Cs have trailed the Suns for most of this first half. I mean we have no JB but we still should beat this Suns team. I really like how PP and Sam have been shooting lately. They will be key players as we grind out the rest of the regular season. Joe has really learned who plays well together and every now and then he gets someone in there who hasn't played a while and they Excell. I've seen a lot of growth in Joe's coaching this season. Especially on the defensive end. He should be Coach of the Year. If he's not shame on the NBA.       Derrick White has been extremely efficient on the offensive end tonight. His ability to see the floor and find guys is a master class. The way he rebounds for a guard is second to none. Since the day he was traded here he's become and is one of my favorite players. Honestly he's a complete player who never gets the recognition he deserves. He's the ultimate Celtics and would be on any iteration of the Celtics ...

No Rivalry Here

      How about them Celtics?!! Going into the so called Lions Den in LA and kicking their butts! What makes it great is they were honoring Pat the Rat Riley. Cs are a much better team than the Lakers this season. Historically the Celtics are a better team than the Lakers. Just go and study the numbers. Seems like a one sided rivalry to me! Celtics have and will always be the greatest NBA Franchise of all time.       Payton Pritchard was on fire last night, he made Austin Reaves look like a fool on D. Pritch was lethal from beyond the arc and had his fair share of points in the post. I love when he uses his change of pace out there. Whether to score or throw off the defender. He isn't afraid to grab rebounds and finds his teammates where they can score. Pritch has been an exceptional player since he was drafted by the Celtics. One of my favorite players to watch and wrote about. I mean he's a cold blooded assasin! Coming off the bench is where he flour...

Back at it

      Cs go into Golden State and lay the hammer to em. Nice to see old pals Al Horford and Kristaps Porzingis. Memories of one title but should have been two. JB continues his MVP like play having a triple double. I'm not a huge stat guy but damn those numbers he put up were pretty sweet. Cs looked primed to be a top seed in the East. The only team in the East they are trailing is the Pistons. Not only record wise but overall. That Pistons team is nice and Cade is a baller.       Ron Harper Jr has and is making the most out of his opportunity with the Celtics. He's shown that he has a spot in this league and more importantly as a Celtic. Kid can shoot and loves to play D. Joe has found the right spots with him and it's paid off. PP has been thriving coming off the bench these past few games. He just has that it factor off the bench and we are seeing him at his best. Everyone who entered the game made a solid impact. I don't do that plus minus crap I d...

Cooper Flagg is the real deal

      Cs go into Dallas as JB has an MVP caliber game! He has been a man on a mission this season and we should enjoy this! Not too often do seasons like this occur where thru injuries and trades most of your team is taken away. Yet JB is having the season of his life! He has given Celtics fans hope that a title might just happen this season given the up in the air eastern conference. There is no favorite in my opinion despite how well the Pistons are playing. At the end of the day it's about how you play in the playoffs. Cs are battle tested and will have JT back this season.       Cooper Flagg was a beast last night, and he's still in his teens?! It's unreal how gifted he is and his ability to play at such a high level. I love the fact he had a Larry Bird poster and used to watch the 86 Cs on DVD! Larry's game is one to model and Cooper has flashes of it. That Mavs team lucked out of getting rid of Luka and ending up with Flagg. That kid is going to ...

Cs looking to hunt Bucks

      Cs take on the Bucks this fine Sunday afternoon. With that said they came out with a solid win. JB ended up with thirty points and thirteen rebounds. JB is having a career year and really deserves to be MVP. Things are shaping up for JB to have another incredible post season run. In most of these possible playoff matchups he will be the best player on the floor. That includes playing the top ranked Pistons. No one in the East scares me whatsoever. JB will be looking to show the entire NBA why he deserves to be talked about as a top ten player.       Anfernee Simons with twenty seven points, he's been absolutely incredible off the bench this season. The Cs have always found players with nasty skill sets off the bench. He should be in the conversation for 6th man of the year. What I don't want is the Cs trading him over money. I want to see what he can do if and when JT comes back. I know this roster is lacking with a true big man, but I like this ...

Sac Town Tonight

      Cs look to find their winning ways again, after that loss to the Hawks. Cs are without JB but everyone else is here to play! DWhite finds Queta for the JAM to start. PP finds Queta and we are off to a good start. Cs need to get out to a big lead and never look back. Nice seeing Baylor in the starting lineup. Sam hits a corner three and things are looking good. Cs are playing with excellent pace tonight. I love the way Queta is getting in the action tonight. It's crazy that these Kings cut him, which is our gain.      So far everyone who had been in the game had made an impact. With no JB it allows everyone to get additional minutes. With those additional minutes each guy has made an impact. Cs are shooting at a pretty high clip, it's been a very efficient first quarter. A nice forty piece for the Cs in this opening quarter. Cs with a fifteen point lead and should win this one by thirty. Cs look pretty good overall tonight and just need to sustain this...

Atlanta in the House

      Cs welcome the Atlanta Hawks to the Garden and look to cook em like they did in Atlanta. Cs should be ready to go as they are enjoying some home cooking yet again. These are the games you need to build on especially being at home. No Queta tonight but Garza and Williams should be able to fit the bill. I'm hoping PP shows out on his big day. You need to embrace every birthday and everyday for that matter. Let's Go Cs! Time to build a nice win streak, and show why you are a top team in the NBA.       What a crap start for the Cs tonight... The offense stinks right now and I don't have a good feeling. Seven points and the quarter is almost over. Cs need an effective finish to this quarter, because this game is unwatchable. I feel like I'm wasting my time watching this damn game. Anfernee Simons is the only one playing with any juice. Cs are getting smoked and I don't know if they can pull this comeback off. I was looking forward to tonight and now I...

Da Bulls

      Cs are in the windy city tonight, let's hope they can grab the win. JB for three! That's the way to open the game. Cs are in for another dog fight tonight. I'm looking for DWhite to get going and have one of those games. Cs are lacking on the glass right now. So far the Cs have held strong despite being on a back to back. Cs will need to dig down deep if they want to pull this one out. Our defense needs to get a hand in their damn face.       Anfernee Simons is incredibly fast when he attacks the cup. It's like he's shot out of a cannon, kinda like the Flash. For as much as the Cs attack they rarely get any calls. We are all tied up yet again as there is a timeout on the floor. Cs have left some points out there, let's hope they can recoup them. Joe will have to work some magic with the minutes tonight given the double OT game last night. I'd like to see if the guys can go on a run here. Show the Bulls we are here to win.      ...

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...
