The Celtics are just 18th on offense the last 15 games. That's 75% of their completed games.

Let's hope Porzingis is healthy for a long while so these guys can mesh more on offense. Their regular starting five is still the best among 48 five-man lineups that have played 150+ possessions with a net rating of +28.2.

Porzingis might not play tonight. He thought the game was in Vegas.

Celtics have been better with Tatum OFF the floor than ON in 9 of the last 10 games (7-3). That's not a cool trend that needs reversing considering he plays the most minutes on the team.

As long as that trend does not continue in the playoffs.

If it continues for the rest of the regular season, Cs are not making the playoffs lol.

If the trend continues then the Cs might end up #4 seed.

After 20 games, the Jays are still after personal glory.

JT wants MVP.

JB is trying to prove he's worth that 300m contract.

Until those 2 make winning a priority, the Celtics will be up and down the whole season.

I still want to see what happens in a world where they don't make the ECF in their first year together. Have they just been entitled since then? Feels like it sometimes.

This is an extremely odd 5 game homestead. Tonight against the Knicks followed by back to back two game sets with Cleveland and Orlando. So if you throw in the Indiana game, it is a bunch of games against teams that are on the Celtics heels. Really anything less than 4-1 at home would be disappointing.

Why are you not able to understand the difference between these two players?

This is the kind of empty rhetoric you hear on sports talk radio. You should be smarter than this.

At present were a .750 Team, that´s like a 62-Win Pace.
We might be able to push it to .800, and a 65-66 Win Pace.

Looks like we're doing OK.
