Battle of two top 5 defenses.

Before I hear the complaining about us not getting points off of offball cuts and such, let me share this. The Magic may be the most disciplined defense in the league, tbh.

Just a heads up... this won't stop me from complaining about us not getting points off of offball cuts and such.

Kinda crazy how tight the margin for error is in this IST thing. I guess that's probably the point. You can't afford to slip up even once even in this group which was supposed to be a cakewalk for the C's.

Anyway, we'll see how seriously the team is taking the IST in this game.

Imagine being a fan of the Hawks, how frustrating.

food won't be digested by then and they want whole nba games? ugh!

On average, the Celtics play the second best team in the East every three games.

Thanksgiving Stat of the Day: Seven of the top 10 players with the highest win % since Trade Deadline 2022 are Celtics players. Horford the winningest of them all.

Why do the Celtics need the Nets to beat the Raptors? We’d be at 3-1 if we beat Chicago and better than the Nets with a head to head victory as well against Brooklyn. What am I missing?

I'm really not that familiar with the tie-breakers, but my guess is if Magic and Celtics are both 3-1 and Nets end up 2-2, the head-to-head tiebreaker between ORL and BOS would go to ORL.

Not a big deal: The Celtics have the two most efficient post scorers in the league (minimum 20 possessions) in Porzingis and Tatum.

Two Magic Starters still OUT.

Love the timing! lol at overseas folks

So they need a 3 way tie because he’s speaking specifically to them winning the group, got it. I was just thinking to make it to the tourney as a wildcard even.

Ridiculously bad start time.

That Groin Strain is really going to bother Jaylen. He may get some rest, after Dec. 1st.
But still, he should just sit. Don't make it a long-term thing.

Celtics Banners 18-20 incoming.
