11 hours away from tipoff and we don't have a game thread. Parl thinks there's too many games in the season and it shows. :P

Kidding. No update on who's available for both teams yet. Both are coming off wins though ORL played at home yesterday while BOS flew in from NY.

Celtics regular season ends on April 13, Sunday at around 3:15PM and playoffs don't begin until April 19 or 20 for them. So they could have a week off even if they don't rest for that final game. Go get 60!

Per my shoddy research, only two other trios have done it in NBA history -- Curry/Klay/Poole in 2023 and Harden/Gordon/Anderson in 2017. No trio has had 250 3PMs each in a single season. White/PP/JT could theoretically be the first.

In 2011-12, no player reached 200 made threes. Last season, it was at 23.

They actually did it!

Players who averaged 20/4/4 in 2025 on +5.0 per game +/-: Jokic, Mitchell, Doncic, Tatum, Brown, SGA, Jalen Williams.

The two teams with two players on the list will meet in the Finals.

I believe this is only the 4th time in NBA history 3-more teams hit 60 wins. The Celtics were in 3/4 of those seasons.

The dynasty era may be dead in favor of parity, but if they can stay healthy and not lose KP in either of the first two rounds, I’d expect a repeat with how well they play on the road.

Looked to see if it was an injury, but only 6 minutes for Springer in the season finale for the Jazz AND he started. Yikes.

Any update on Porzingis? He didn’t get injured in the Hornets game that he didn’t come out for the second half did he?

I could be wrong, but I believe the 65-game rule doesn't apply to Clutch Player of the Year award.

Anyone following the Celtics beat reporter drama/accusations on Twitter? Seems like it was all that was on my feed for several thumb swipes.
