Win Streak Over as the Rockets Take Off

       Today I will be touching upon the past three games. It's been a busy few days for me as my daughter's youth soccer team won the fall championship. In Friday's Cup game we saw the Cs lay a huge hammer to the Bulls in that first half. For a while there I thought we would win the game by 50! Unfortunately that third quarter was lacking and the Cs let go of that huge lead. At the end of the day though they pulled out the win. PP was spectacular scoring 30 points while JT and PG13 played very well. I don't care for the Cup games but sometimes you need small goals in a long season.       Sunday in Orlando was another example of a team win. When big plays were needed JT and PG13 led the way. Tatum to me this season seems so comfortable and confident in his game. I would say he must feel just about fully healed from that horrendous injury in the playoffs. PG13 even looks spry and reinvigorated to be a Boston Celtic. Queta continues to show he may b...

Paul George solidifying role as Celtics second option

For those still looking for ways to criticize Brad Stevens for trading for Paul George , you will need to do a deep search. PG-13 may lead his team in turnovers and fouls , but Boston is now 5-1 to start the season. George does everything else on the court very well - scoring (20.7 PPG), rebounding (6.0 RPG), assists (5.0 APG) and steals (2.3 SPG) . He is looking healthy and playing like he has been with "The Green" for years. Paul George in today's win at Orlando: 17 PTS, 6 REB, 8 AST, 2 STL, 2 BLK Really doing it ALL for the Celtics ☘️ https://t.co/qG1SmEGJ4B — Tomek Kordylewski (@Timi_093) November 2, 2026 Joe Mazzulla seems to be focused on defense when choosing his starting unit, and I doubt there was much decision making as to PG-13 starting  Jayson Tatum is well aware of his front-court partner's defensive prowess. Jayson Tatum speaks post game on playing alongside Paul George: “His awareness on the defensive end and his activity with his hands is just n...

Brooklyn in Boston

       Tonight we see the lowly Brooklyn Nets enter the Boston Garden. I want to see this team build off these last few wins. How cool is it that Allen Iverson said Payton Pritchard is the coldest white boy ever! Talk about high praise from a Hall of Famer. Oh and I shook hands with that Hall of Famer during Enshrinement. Interesting news in tonight's game everyone will be playing in this back to back. That's a good sign from a group of guys who want to play this beautiful game of basketball.       Mitchell Robinson is truly an elite rebounder and knows where to position his body.  He makes plays for a big that are unexpected. That one where he catches the ball midair was totally awesome. He's very nimble and quick for a big! He even has some shake on the offensive end as he spins and gets to the hoop for a foul. If he's able to stay healthy this season he's gonna have a career year. Dude is just a solid player overall and does his job. I lov...

Paul George having a solid start with Celtics

 In the Boston Celtics first three games, newly-acquired Paul George is off to a nice start. He comes in second to Jayson Tatum in: Minutes - 29.7 MPG Points - 23.0 PPG Field goals attempted - 16.7 FGA Free throw percentage - 83.3 % FT PG13 also leads his team in steals at 2.3 thefts per game . He is hitting a respectable 46% from the field while canning 50% of his 3-pointers .Unfortunately, George also trails only Derrick White in turnovers at 2.7 miscues per contest.  Most NBA analysts projected PG13's performance with "The Green" as "Past Great" , and that was expected. But thus far, he has become indispensible for Boston at both ends of the court. Not bad for a guy past his prime.

Da Bulls

      Celtics welcome the Bulls to the Garden tonight. Nice to see Hugo score and play a solid game for the first time all season. Hugo's a guy that shows great upside but still needs work. He's a dawg on defense, offensively I'm not fully sure what he's gonna be. I don't want to see him settle for threes. He should be a guy who gets to the hole and could develop a mid range game. I believe Brad sees something in him and I hope this season he takes that next step. I'm starting to get concerned with Payton Pritchards shot. He needs to be a knock down shooter especially beyond the arc. Yet this season he's off to a slow start.       I have enjoyed some of these defensive possessions tonight. There have been some sets where the Cs are legit hounds and giving the Bulls a run for their money. I love when guys and teams really focus their efforts on the defensive end. Defensive is about effort and heart along with positioning. Derrick White is one of if not ...

More evidence that Neemias Queta worked on his shot this summer.

 I previously wrote that the Celtics Neemias Queta may have developed a mid-range shot in the off-season. His performance in the win over the Knicks last night adds credibility to that possibility. Prior to this season, Queta's offensive arsenal consisted mostly of lobs, putbacks and layups . But last night he showed Boston fans something new. Shout-out to Neemias Queta ☘️ He put up 15 points, 6 rebounds and 3 blocks off the bench last night, including the very first made 3-pointer this season: https://t.co/jCZGY4TLRj — Tomek Kordylewski (@Timi_093) October 24, 2026 The Portugese import hit 4-of-8 from the field and he connected on his sole 3-point attempt - while also canning a mid-range shot in the process. It is only one game, but this could be good news for the Celtics.

Celtic Pride

       Well it's the first game at the Boston Garden, and this team is already under the microscope. Losing that huge lead in Detriot lingers over them. Not to mention the heat Jayson Tatum is receiving after one subpar game. I find the media to be very fickle. There are 82 games a year and every once in a while you won't have your best. The Jayson Tatum I know will come back tonight ready to ball and show who he is. I truly feel we will see who this team is mea t ro be tonight. Expect JT, PP, and DWhite to show why we believe in these Celtics. At least I still do...      Tipoff is here, will we see PG13 score thirty plus again? Everyone knows my distaste for how much Brunson flops out there. Let's see how many calls he's able to generate on flops. Cs are rocking the same starting line up as they did in Detroit. I'm definitely not sold with Jordan Walsh being in the starting lineup. JT gets in the low block and scores off Hart. I truly feel JT needs to...
