Enes is accusing the Celtics of ruining Kemba's career by forcing him to play hurt.

Of course, this allegedly happened before Enes voluntarily signed with the Celtics for a second stint.

Cool Stat of the Day: If this year's Celtics keep up their pace, they could end up being a top 7 regular season team in NBA history relative to league average. In the wise words of JaMarco, the Celtics ain't no joke.

Accomplishing this in an era of heightened league parity is quite something tbh.

No longer 19, happy birthday to the GOAT, Jordan Walsh, and his teammate, Jayson Tatum!

Celtics now +179 over their last six and this is supposed to be the tough part of the schedule.

The "tough part" actually just consists of one game, @Denver on thursday. :lol:

After the Dubs drubbing, the Celtics bench (5.5 net rtg) now have a top 3 net rating ALL-TIME. Kornet, Hauser, PP, and co. aren't showing signs of slowing down.

This escalated quickly. Updated:

Relative ORtg: +7.0
Relative DRtg: -4.5
Relative NRtg: +11.5 (4th all-time)

Celtics SRS of 11.45 is also 4th all-time. All previous four teams with an SRS of 11+ won the title.

Cs on pace for 65 wins, which is what they’ll need to clinch HCA entire playoffs.*

EDIT: *They’ll only need 65 if OKC sweeps their remaining games.

The Celtics now have the easiest remaining schedule with an average winning percentage of .442. The Celtics are 22-1 against teams with a losing record this season.

Got a chuckle reading the comment sections on all the social media posts from last night's performance. There are a lot of very delusional fans who truly believe Jimmy Butler is the NBA's savior. They're going to be very disappointed.

Almost expected this.

Given that Spo hasn't even won CotY yet, I will allow it.

If they hadn't lost that Lakers game I bet they would've given it to him. :cry:

Agreed. But the Cs did just knock off a couple of teams with trailing 8-2 records.

The only game that matters is the Denver game

It’s quite cool to share a birthday with Jayson Tatum but I’m destined to attract all the women once I tell them I share a birthday with the GOAT as well
