Like anyone moving into a new home after you've lived somewhere else for 14 years, this might take a while.
For the moment, I'll try to post the same things from Twitter, primarily information about the games I'm calling.
Where a 50-48 lead for example is a close game and not, you know, a mandate.

A short note on Dana Jacobson.
Who for a decade was one of my favorites at ESPN.
Then left and just killed it at everything CBS has…Evening News, March Madness, NFL Today and of course, anchoring CBS Saturday to its all-time peak.
And somewhere in there, found the time to marry me...

Are the Celtics eliminated from the NBA Cup?
Mathematically no, but you know, of course they are.
When the quarter-finals are set next Friday, the Celtics will get two extra games to play. Almost certainly a home game on Monday, Dec. 15, and a road game Dec. 11 or 12.

The Celtics return to Brooklyn tonight. They were eliminated by the Nets here in the first round of the 2021 pandemic playoffs...they haven’t lost in this building since.
8-0 in the regular season, plus winning Games 3 and 4 here to sweep the Nets in 2022.

Sunday was the 7th time in Celtics history an opposing player made 5 3's and 14 free throws against them in a game.

James Harden (2017, 2018, 2020, 2025) now has the last four.

Of these 25 listed biggest wins since 2000, 18 of them are from the Jaylen/Jayson Era (2017-18 on). That’s 72% of this list of their biggest wins. Does another young duo of NBA players have a list of recent big wins this long on their resumés?

James Harden had 32 today...

And one inch from sending a game the Celtics led by 24 in the 3rd, into overtime.

The Celtics chances of advancing in the NBA Cup get a little slimer tonight with the Magic and Pistons both winning.
Boston has the Brooklyn and Detroit at home, but will have to beat them both by a pretty good margin to advance.

Boston is 1-0 in the Tirico/NBC era (he did an RSN cameo last year for the Portland game when both Payton Pritchard and Derrick White went for 40).
