Bad loss. Down 3 and the refs decided to T-up Mazzulla & Brown and hand the game to the Bulls.

The loss doesn’t matter in the grand scheme of the season.

Celtics have their opportunity for revenge at Chicago tonight.

Torro 12-22-2024 05:02 AM

Crazy good performance from Tatum, historic triple double with 9 threes! Even more impressive how he attacked the rim, feels like he is unstoppable and should do it more especially when the 3s don’t go.

Bosoxfan5990 12-22-2024 10:14 AM

Is 43/15/10 good?

Bosoxfan5990 12-23-2024 03:20 PM

Celtics at Magic tonight as double-digit favorites before they play on Christmas Day.

Trap game?

Hope not.

Bosoxfan5990 12-23-2024 09:40 PM

Tatum a late illness scratch.

Jaylen 35/9/4.

Frustrating loss.

Bosoxfan5990 12-25-2024 08:54 PM

32/15/4 in a losing effort.

Very rough last few games here.

I don't know if it's a championship hangover or what it is. All I know is they seem to be playing soft. The defense is not there so far this year.


The injuries aren't helping either.

I'd love to see them pick up a physical big man, but I don't know if they can cap wise.

Torro 12-27-2024 05:41 AM

Tatum been playing great, especially in the last lost. Philadelphia had great end of the game, Caleb hitting 3 or 4 threes in a row, just like he did when he was playing for heat in conference finals, he seems to have those sparks against Celtics.

Bosoxfan5990 12-27-2024 07:09 AM

Celtics double-digit home favorites against Indy tonight.

4 games behind Cleveland for the 1 seed. Knicks are quietly sneaking up.

Need to go on a good run here.

I was impressed with how the Pacers played last year. They shared the ball and were constantly moving. I haven't really followed them this year. I hope the Celtics start playing better as I have money on them having the best record going into All Star weekend.

White has been a little cold in some recent games. So has Pritchard. Brown has had some bad turnovers. Also no Hauser who I think helps space the floor well. The Celtics aren't going to win without their bench playing halfway decent. Injuries are definitely part of it.

I primarily watch them to see Pritchard play. He hasn't taken as many shots lately. He was 0-8 last game on 3 pointers (2 were long buzzer beaters). I think he shoots better when they have a more consistent game schedule and the holidays/play-in tournament disrupted that. There was also a stretch (started during Bucks game) where he wasn't getting a lot of shots off because the starters were deciding to take a contested shot vs kick it to the open man. When that happens and he is just standing in the corner and doing cardio every possession change, he will sometimes try to create his own shots for better or for worse.

Celtics are best when the ball is hopping and they trust whoever is open to take the open shot. If they get into ISO ball and don't defend well, there are several teams that will put up a good fight against them. Plus being the defending champs they are getting everybody's best.

Here is a shot of some of my nicer Pritchard cards. I've been trying to scoop up 1 of all his gold /10 cards. I have his Gold Optic Holo and Spectra Gold on the way. Also I try to pick up any flawless RPA that comes up for sale as that is his only RC with a real game used patch. If you tally the colors (25x silver, 15x red, 10x gold, 5x green, 3x 1/1 variations), there are only 58 true RPA cards of him.

That's a fantastic pic of P-Rabbits.

I like the green horizontal flawless patch. Missed out on one of Nesmith the other day. I have the black 1/1 flux Incoming (hit in a break) if interested. Probably one of the more amazing looking rookie inserts in hand. The lime green select auto doesn't look bad also. Is that rare?

Gold optic Holo... hm... time [URL="https://www.blowoutforums.com/showthread.php?t=1585560&page=8"]to update[/URL] the Nesmith thread.

Bosoxfan5990 12-28-2024 05:36 AM

37 point beatdown against the Eastern runner up from last season.

44 point game from Brown.

18/8/10 from P-Rabbit off the bench.

All is right with the world again.

Nomad 12-28-2024 09:41 AM

Everyone is on the Hali train until he goes up against a real team.

Pacers were on a back to back, after an OKC game that went down to the wire and Nembhard captained.

Nembhard and grudge Nesmith were missing.

Game meant nothing, as far as Boston being back.

Bosoxfan5990 12-29-2024 11:49 AM

Another home game against Indiana tonight as a double-digit favorite.

Delta5 12-29-2024 08:16 PM

Another L for Celtics as heavy faves. What's that now? 3 of their last 4 games? Yikes

First post in here in a couple months? But that's what you do right..pick and choose when to pop in and gloat? Radio silence for a long while.

Bosoxfan5990 12-29-2024 08:24 PM

With the way Cleveland is playing this year, the Celtics may wind up with the 2 seed. 4.5 games seems insurmountable. The Knicks are creeping up as well, though I'm not worried about them in a playoff series.
