The rising sun as Phoenix comes to Boston

Rest in peace Sam Jones, an amazing player and very underrated! Memory Eternal!

1st Quarter

Marcus Smart coming out to ball. The Wolverine's game has grown exponentially. Watching Him nail that left hand floater gives us confidence that he can get to the hoop when we wants to. His passing skills are ascending in the right direction. Anyone who can't see the growth in his game this season is blind.

RWills maturation process is a joy to watch. He's turned himself into a player that can do just about anything needed.. He crashes the boards on both ends, he finds himself with bunnies down low. His passing needs a little work but it's getting there, his basketball IQ is strong!

2nd Quarter

JRich always impresses me, he plays hard D, and when called upon can knock down his shots. His three point shot is pretty reliable this season. His tweener game is my favorite. More minutes for him and things turn out well for the Boston Celtics.

Today's defense had been pretty good, guys are looking very aggressive, their hands are active and they are chasing down their man. Switches have been rather crisp, when you make the effort on D your gonna win more often then not.

3rd Quarter

Marcus Smart is Mr Left Hand! Marcus getting a few baskets using his left hand, is awesome. Plus he follows his own shot when need be. He seems to have great command over today's game. Keeping the offense going while steering the D.

Celtics are rolling today, the have welcomed a to NBA team into the Garden and hit them in the mouth. They have not let up yet, let's hope the keep things going in the fourth.

4th Quarter

Nice to finally see a comfortable win on the rise. Talk about a total team effort, on both ends this afternoon. Both JB and the Wolverine scored 24, not a bad way to end the year unlike myself who spent it in the ER. Is this final win of 2021, a positive note into hopefully spurring the Celtics into the new year?

In defense of Marcus Smart

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...
