healthy al horf sightings recently hes looking spry out there getting blocks and whatnot, p much the only player theyre really waiting on to turn the corner at this point is the infamous gordon hayward

and "scary terry"

but he prob just isn't that good

hes been playing better tho and yeah hes not amazing but theres some stuff he can do

he's got this weird block about coming off the bench, it's frustrating because you know all the basic skills are present

yeah hopefully he can roll over his play from these start when hes back on the bench

i think he'll be good in the playoffs. he seems like the type of guy who will step up when it matters, even if he's not thrilled with his current role.

lol

Terry Rozier said with Kyrie Irving on the court there’s a tendency sometimes to watch him put on a show. Noted that Irving’s one of the best offensive players in the NBA. “If y’all was out there y’all would do the same thing.”

terry feeling himself tonight

Terry Rozier on whether he has heard criticism for his sometimes inaccurate lobs: “I don’t care.”

i give a wide birth on media replies but....that seems like something you should care about

Just something to file away...

BOSTON CELTICS - DEFENSIVE RATING

Aron Baynes on the court: 97.9
Aron Baynes off the court: 105.6

2018-19 CELTICS WHEN ARON BAYNES…

Plays 15+ Minutes: 15-2
Plays 0-14 Minutes: 20-18

— Sean Grande (@SeanGrandePBP) February 8, 2019

idk good defensive bigs are really good when they're good but that doesn't mean they're good in every game. don't think you want to play baynes 15+ mins vs a 5 out team unless you want those numbers to normalize

there are hardly any 5 out teams tho. in the east only the bucks really play that way as a base offense. the raps do when they play ibaka at center but that's not a full-time thing.

after .5+ of a season to reflect on what exactly is wrong with the celtics i think its clear theyre suffering from bad vibes

They should go backpacking through the Appalachians together over the ASB and learn how to love each other along the way.

excellent plan imo

I've thought about it and the reason the Celtics are playing bad is a roster balance issue.

You can't have 3 Pisces on the roster AND 3 Aries. Three fire signs and three water signs in the rotation is just asking for trouble.

I chatted with Marcus Morris today and he wanted to clarify his comment Saturday that the no-fun issues have been around for a "long time."

“A long time is really more like a week. But, shit, in the NBA world that shit feels like a long time.”

— Adam Himmelsbach (@AdamHimmelsbach) February 11, 2019

Maybe especially since the Celtics and Sixers records are now identical: 36-21. https://t.co/RoTTa4hMRk

Marcus Morris bought cheesesteaks for everyone.

— Jay King (@ByJayKing) February 13, 2019

bringing back the good vibes

doing his part for fun

Celtics this season vs. …

PHI: 3-0
TOR: 2-1
MIL: 1-1

Matchups in Milwaukee and Toronto later this month after break, but Celtics continue to play up against top East competition.

Home losses to LAL, PHX, ORL, NYK have left team fighting for seeding.

hmm need to hear what the truth guys has to say about this

Interesting stuff from Jayson Tatum during his All-Star media availability: “I think sometimes people get the idea that we should be grateful to be where we are rather than that we worked for it, and we worked our butts off our whole life and deserve everything we get."

— Tom Westerholm (@Tom_NBA) February 16, 2019

Anthony Davis was asked about the perception the Celtics were not a preferred destination. He then repeated several times: “They were never not on my list.”

— Tim Bontemps (@TimBontemps) February 16, 2019

its happening folks

as chris forsberg said on twitter what a surprise that that little piece of info came out after the trade deadline

Klutchs every move on this has been so ridiculously transparent
