Finally Luke and Queta get to silence the trade for Olynyk crowd.

Better lock away all the draft picks just in case.

Wild finish in regulation last night between DET and UTA. Check the highlights if you weren't a loser watching it live like me.

Thought he would have been a good pickup for the Celtics for a 2nd round pick and the TPE. Ainge won't sell cheap on him now. 6'8" Fontecchio shooting 41% from three. Making $3 million for this year.

Keep the home streak alive. Aren't they only a couple games away from history at this point? Might as well go for it!

A win here would tie the franchise record for most home wins to start the season (17) set by the 1957-58 Cs.

Which means he's playing against the Pacers on Saturday.

Jazz have five guys assigned to the G-League. Otherwise healthy.

Let’s keep the home streak alive. We can at least hang that banner at the end of this season.

FONTECCHIO IS what the Celtics need, but out priced to them like Olynik and Markkannen. Even Hauser and two firsts not good enough for him to be traded to the Celtics. Should have tried to acquire him earlier in the season or last season.

First game of a 5-games-in-7-nights stretch which ends with a home-and-road B2B against Wolves and Bucks.

Buckle up!

5-0 is ideal, but 4-1 is good enough.

You know this bunch gets pressured when history is at stake lol. Would have cemented this group’s place in history, if only they didn’t choked up game 7 at home last year. Wasted opportunity.
