  1. TripleOT

    2023-2024 General NBA Season Thread

    Warriors eliminated. LeBron has to try to get through Denver in the first round. A good first night of post season basketball. Too bad both Philly and Miami can’t be eliminated in day two. I’d like to see Miami win, and Philly lose to either Chicago or Atlanta.

    Mike Gorman’s last game as voice of the Celtics.

    It just dawned on me that a good number of the members that post on the site were not even born when Mike Gorman became the Celtics television play-by-play job 43 years ago. I was a freshman in college when he began his long career, and it seems to me that he’s always been there when I followed...

    2023-24 Celtics

    63 wins is tied for third highest of all time by a Celtics team. Two of teams with more wins, the 66 win 2008 team and the 67 win 1986 teams won titles, and the 68 win team in 1973 lost in the ECF after a John Havlicek injury.

    2023-2024 Celtics Wins Poll

    Boston got to 60+ wins the way championship teams in the past got there, by winning over 90% of home games, and beating up on non-playoff teams (which now includes play-in teams) Boston is 44-6 against non playoff and play-in teams. They have lost only three home games.

    Wembanyamarama

    There has been a lot of talk about possible injury to Wemby and Chet in a long NBA season. Wemby has played 70 of 80 games, at 29.6 mpg. After missing an entire season due to a freak summer injury, Chet has played all 80 games at 29.7 mpg. With today’s year round training regimes, and with...

    Heat Culture 10-21 against non-play-in playoff teams this season, 34-15 against play-in teams and dregs. Boston 18-11 against non-play-in playoff teams. 44-6 against play-in teams and dregs

    Green Zinger Tea - Kristaps Porziņģis 2023-24

    Going to KP early in quarters during the playoffs will help Boston get into the bonus early (assuming Boston will ever draw a foul again after that ridiculous game in Milwaukee)

    Joe Mazzulla officially named head coach

    If Boston loses only one more game, Mazzulla would have won 75% of the games his first two seasons, an amazing accomplishment, something that Pat Riley couldn’t do with five and six HoFers in his first two seasons.

    2023-24 Celtics

    I wonder it the players making $20 million and up decide to let the lesser paid players divide up that money.

    2023-2024 Celtics Wins Poll

    Nine of Bostons’ 16 losses were either OT or one possession losses (3 points or less). It takes a lot to beat this team. Boston has to do a lot of bad things, and the opposition has to do a lot of good things to squeeze out a win. Not being able to score in last possessions in one possession...

    2023-24 Celtics

    I stopped watching the Pels game live, and went back to it later that night. I was very pleased with the way the Celtics adjusted and turned up their defense. It took the Pels 28 1/2 minutes to score 37 more points, to match what they scored in the 12 minutes of first quarter That first...

    Pritchard Extended

    PP does keep the dribble alive more often in the paint. He also nashes his way across the paint on the baseline now with his dribble, something he seldom did before. Some of the paint weapons he’s shown recently, like the fadeaway and the up and under, I don’t remember seeing before. PP is not...

    Joe Mazzulla officially named head coach

    Late to this thread. As a RIer who played in leagues with Joe’s father, I was so proud of Joe’s run to the Final Four at WVU, and watched his great performance bodying up Boogie Cousins as they vanquished Kentucky. I had no idea he actually taught the defense that Bob Huggins successfully...

    2023-24 Celtics

    Against Chicago I preferred watching the team when Tatum was sitting over when he was playing. They were playing with such great pace, but when Tatum came in the game, he tended to slow things down, which I found annoying. He did do a good job during the closing out of the game. I guess I have...

    Al Horford - the Celtics' Resurrected Saviour of the Season

    Horford looked like he really enjoyed lighting up his college coach’s team last night. For a guy who never took threes the first eight seasons of his career, he now looks like a catch and shoot assassin from three, with the ball spending very little time in his hands before it splashes through...

    Pritchard Extended

    I’m finding it very difficult to not take a victory lap on Pritchard. I believed PP could become a Fred VanVleet type player if he consistently played with both pace, force, and confidence. That is what we are seeing this season. He might get hunted in the playoffs, but he has looked a lot...

    Do we need a Celtics Announcing thread?

    I’m very happy with Drew Carter as Mike Gorman’s successor. The safe play would’ve been to elevate Sean Grande, but this ownership group is really playing chess. I’m generally a Scal fan, but last night, when they asked him which of the potential first round opponents the Celtics would prefer...

    3/20 - Bucks @ Cs - The Takeaways Game

    Good strategy by the Celtics to let the Bucks back in this one so their core players have less energy tomorrow night. Next level thinking there.
