The Jimmy Butler situation in Miami is another reminder to not take for granted the people currently in the #Celtics organization.

Small bumps in the road right now on the court, but it could always be way worse.

More off-day reading for you! ☘️📰

Great article from Nate Moskowitz (not on BlueSky yet) and @celticsblog.com.web.brid.gy.

Lots of good numbers and video evidence on the recent “struggles” with Kristaps Porzingis and the #Celtics squad as a whole.

Highly recommend. Nate always does great work.
Patience over panic: Kristaps Porzingis and the Celtics struggles
With Porzingis back, it hasn’t been smooth sailing reintegrating the Boston big man—but the numbers show that better days are on the horizon.

#Warriors fell below .500 tonight with a bad L at Toronto. C’s there Wednesday, and at San Francisco on Monday around a FRI/SAT B2B in Boston. Golden State beat the C’s emphatically early on this season, but they have lost 17 of 25 now.

Xavier Tillman on his role with the #Celtics:

“I feel like every opportunity that I have to step in the facility, to be around my teammates, is the opportunity for me to contribute. Not necessarily what I do on the floor because my presence is bigger than just my play.“

NEW: Xavier Tillman has been in and out of the Celtics rotation, and it primarily boils down to threes. But that's a challenge he's working on.

“It's really hard... It's been a fun process, though... I have to kind of rip out that old habit.”

A little wide-angle perspective as the Celtics head to Toronto for Game 40 of the season.

Through 39 games, the last seven NBA champions have averaged 28.9 wins, and a +8.3 scoring margin.

This year's Celtics are 28-11 with a+9.3 scoring margin.

Fun stat:

Luke Kornet cuts on 32.3% of the possessions he plays. On those plays, Kornet is shooting 83.3% and he scores 1.71 points per possession

That's the best frequency + FG% + PPP combination on cuts in the NBA.

Former #Celtics guard Dana Barros on Payton Pritchard:

“I give Pritchard a lot of credit. He didn't waver, and he's in the perfect system, and they are lucky they signed him two years ago. Shoot, if he was up this year, oh my goodness.”

Last night was the 6th time this season that Jaylen Brown dished out 7+ assists in a game. That's a single-season career-high.

Jaylen has also handed out 3+ assists in a career-best 24 straight games. His previous best streak was 10 games.
