Thank goodness the interminable all star break is finally over. I've been missing Celtics basketball. Paste the Pacers!

Would really like to see a return of last year's clamps now that the starters are together again.

Muscala, Kornet, Pritchard, Hauser, Griffin ......those are your 9th to 13th guys in some order. That's a hell of a deep team.

Brown is wearing a black face mask? I thought those were illegal. Didn't Lebron once get told he couldn't wear one?

I'm immensely disappointed he didn't put ears on the mask and go full batman

Guess they evolved on this one, and I missed the press release:

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, NBA fans, but it sounds like the superhero-style black mask worn by Miami Heat superstar LeBron James is going into retirement.

...

In an email, Skolnick explained why the league prefers a clear mask as opposed to a black one: "The reason the league prefers the 'clear' is so that opponents can see a player's eyes.

How can anyone who grew up watching the NBA in the 80s and 90s possibly say this is good basketball. 3…3…3 ..3… travel… travel… travel… all 5 guys constantly behind the three point line.

Daniel Theis, the cuckold, must face his bumbling replacement. It's grudge match time

Well, it's definition DIFFERENT basketball, that's for sure.

If you can't enjoy watching this Celtics team I genuinely feel bad for you.

Grant seemed to barely dunk that one. Think the bench was making fun of him a little.

Damn, even Hauser's elevating his game.

Don't know about starting Rob and Al together though. Does that really make sense when they're so deep at the guard position?

Hauser has never had an in game dunk in the NBA. I liked the look on his face and Al's, like he had a perfect chance to pop his cherry there.

Tatum with a miserable offensive night, 1-8, and the Celts with nine turnovers, and they're up by 10. This is a team that can beat you in so many ways.
