On The Road Again

By
      Cs are in Brooklyn looking for a win despite being shorthanded. There are plenty of Celtics fans here in Brooklyn. Sam opens up the scoring from three tonight. Baylor follows up with his own three. Great job by Queta going after the miss and earning the C's an extra possession. PP scores to make that Queta hustle play worth while. Cs ball movement has been excellent so far. Cs have let up too many easy shots to the Nets. Cs have lost their early lead as we have a timeout on the floor.      JB has been off so far tonight, hopefully going to the line will get him going. And... he misses the first. Cs have been underwhelming to this point. Simons hits the three and things may be looking up. It would be nice if the Cs can go on a run here. Finish this first quarter the right way! Cs call the timeout as Joe is pissed with their defense. I don't blame him one bit! Tear into em Joe! Cs finish on a decent run but still trail at the half. They better wake the ...

Back Home a Revenge Game

By
      Our Cs are home to play those pesky Pacers who have always given the Cs fits. I mean I remember the 90s when they gave the Big 3 fits yet we always found a way to win. The Truth had his moments with the Pacers. Historically there have been some really good matchups with these two teams. Larry Bird played for the Celtics and coached the Pacers. Larry damn near lead them to a title as Coach. The Pacers have always been right on the cusp. Yet have never tasted winning it all in the NBA. Here's hoping the Cs can handle their business and send em back to Indy with another loss.       Sam hits the first shot for the Cs and its a three! I'm really hoping that Derrick White can get his offense going tonight. He's just been completely off lately and it makes no logical sense to me. I mean he's still doing everything else well but we know how good a scorer he is. Kudos to Aaron Nesmith for finding himself in Indiana. I feel he may not have gotten his chanc...

The return of Al Horford to Boston ? Could happen.

By
 My followers know that I don't write many "What if" articles , particularly ones that speculate about possible additions to the Celtics roster. But this is different . Jimmy Butler's season-ending injury could possibly result in the Warriors tossing the season aside as far as any aspirations of winning another Title. And that could result in a buyout of old friend, Al Horford . Horford may by 39 years old but he is far from taking to the rocking chair. His skills and savvy remain , and the Boston Celtics could use both this post-season. I often refer to Al as the "Dominican Gentleman" , and he is of high character . And he knows the Celtics and their systems. Nemias Queta has done a fine job in the middle for Boston, and Luka Garza has been better than expected. But a veteran inside/outside, 2-way addition - namely Al Horford - could prove invaluable to the Celtics cause this season, particularly with the potential return of Jayson Tatum . Stay tuned!

Breaking down All-Star vote for Jaylen Brown-as-starter

By
 This season will mark Jaylen Brown's fifth selection as an All-Star and his first shot at starting the game. Here's how the voting went from fans, media and current players. The fans ranked the Celtics G/F at #5 - while players put him at #3 . The media put him at the top , ranking Brown at #1. Jaylen's 5th-best weighted score of 3.5 squeezed him into the starting-5 for the 2026 NBA All-Star contest. It is intesting that the media placed Jaylen over every player in the East , while fans ranked him behind Giannis Antetokounmpo, Cade Cunningham, Tyrese Maxey ad Jaylen Brunson . The players rightly put Brown before both Maxey and Brunson. Jaylen is having a career season in Jayson Tatum's absence, and it is refreshing to see the voters put him in the starting unit.

Motor City

      Cs are in Detroit to take on the best in the East at least record wise... Cs have played them well this year but I'd to grab a victory tonight. JB and Cade have both balled out facing each other this season. Cs get us started with a Hauser corner bomb! JB gets inside and scores, gets hacked and no call. Both teams are trading blows early on and I'm loving it. JB is dominant from the midrange and should live there. Unless he's driving to drop the hammer on a defender.       Cs have come out giving the Pistons all they can handle. Cs must continue to protect the ball as they only average 12 turnovers a game. This Pistons team can get after it and create turnovers. It's a battle of wills tonight! Cs ball movement has been elite on a few of these offensive possessions. There's a beauty when the ball moves, like a jazz band in unison. We have some jostling between JB and Beef Stew. It's heading to a review I wish Bill Kennedy was Herr tonight. We have...

Anfernee Simons can be Celtics version of Vinnie Johnson

By
 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 ...
