Even when he was struggling he was playing hard on D. 3 bad turnovers in the first, none rest of game. Played a good game on a not great shooting night.

Milwaukee lost to a depleted Chicago. Very easy to have a let down with no Embiid/Maxey. They did enough to win. Move on.
Nice game by Lamar Stevens. Feels like he got himself a spot tonight.
Queta moved up the rotation, 3rd big???
Banton has some skill, hopefully they can develop him.
Svi is going to be a good reserve to have around bring scoring off bench.
Was hoping more from Brisset.
Jb is currently the 41st highest paid player in the league.
Next year he jumps to
#8
.
2025 to 6th
2026 to 6th
2027 to 4th
2028 based on signed contracts he will be highest. By 2028 there will be 20 guys higher.
As guys sign, rankings will drop
He’ll never be in top 10 salary

Keith I’m probably close to double your age and don’t believe in conspiracies or fantasy. But if the Celtics win while i’m wearing a hat, i’m wearing that hat til they lose.

B has not appeal to Portland
C&Ddont give up enough salary.
A would leave Cs with Al and KP as bigs and that could be a problem if either miss extended time.
I’ll take E none of the above.
If Malcolm Brogdon is staying with the Celtics, here's how league people -- some of whom have worked with Brogdon -- advise the club to handle the situation.

Classic trap game. OT. Second night of a back to back, ahead of a showdown on Wednesday against the bucks. 2 guys missing. Winnable game? Sure. Blew it just by missing free throws? Sure. A symptom of problems with the team? Nope. This ain’t it.
“I know a lot of people feel some type of way about me being back and I understand that. It’ll be a while before I gain their trust back. So I’m just gonna go out there and play. If I get us some more wins, peoples perspective will change.”

A 2023-2024 Celtics poem by Bing
The Boston Celtics, a team of great might,
With players who are ready to fight.
They're led by Tatum, Brown, and Horford,
And their opponents are often left floored.
Here's every Celtics miss from the 4th quarter last night. Short of maybe Derrick rushing his layup after the steal, you'd be hard pressed to find bad process. Annoying loss, but felt like they played offense the right way, shots just didn't fall (not the case in Minny OT BTW).
@SmartsWrld
Tbh I have really liked the make up of the last few years heat teams. Their fan base that doesn’t show up or shows up late don’t deserve it.
Starters
Jrue Holiday
DWhite
JB
JT
Kristaps
Bench
Al
PP
Hauser
Svi
Quetta
Brisset
Banton
Stevens
Kornet
Walsh
Davidson
Gabriel won’t get a roster spot.
Quetta will get contract converted.
Team needs Blake.
@StoolGreenie
Feel like Hauser fits better with some of starters where he can catch and shoot and play d. Svi works with reserves because when things break down he can crate his own shot.
@balldontstopp
Love Tatum but he’s had 1 year where he equalled the lowest win total in this 9 year stretch and his best finish for MVP voting equaled birds worst (his rookie year). He was also 6-0 against MJ in playoffs.
@GreenTeamer247
I’m all for seeing more DWhite. Sometimes there’s a longer wait for a whistle and guys don’t get in timely. I wouldn’t read too much into it.
@CelticsPost
@Jbf76Furtado
Smart is great at making aggressive plays but as an on ball defender, Jrue is better. I am surprised how good of a defender he is now that I was txt him more closely

Funny I just searched Celticsforum blocked and scrolled through like 200 posts of people blocking Celtics forum. Nothing seems to have transferred to new account. No followers, DMs or blocks. Glad I don’t get the DMs. I can only imagine.
@KeithSmithNBA
My first reaction was that if I were the Clips I would avoid JH. But the gamble that Harden George Leonard and Westbrook actually could work is worth taking a shot. It’s a small window but if it goes perfectly (unlikely) it could work.
I don’t know why it’s so hard for Celtic fans to admit this. The guy is a beast on both sides of the ball. I hate the flopping but I’d take him on my team any day.
He will have his finals run, just needs a better supporting cast.
Celtics were intentionally fouling Andre Drummond while up 32 POINTS with 7:02 in the 4Q
Joe Mazzulla had to explain to Billy Donovan they needed to win by 23 to have a chance to advance 😂
@Big_Maine100
He’s totally more comfortable with who he is and how he is going to coach this team. He’s made big strides in a year and no reason to think he won’t make more.
day 900 without basketball. we’ve resorted to drinking each others tears, although ultimately futile. factions have begun to develop and a lord of the flies sort of hierarchy is nearing.
