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.

A better illustration of the insane disparity between the Celtics record, and their body of work.
Of the 10 teams currently out of the playoffs and play-in (bottom five in each conference), 9 of them are in the NBA's bottom 10 in Net Rating...

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.

Sixers to this point have been better without Embiid, particularly on the defensive end - 1.25 points per possession allowed with him (1.19 is worst in NBA history), 1.12 points per possession allowed without him.
And the Celtics are very familiar with his replacement...

With the win Sunday in Orlando, the Celtics who already hold the NBA's longest current streak without losing 4 (or 5) in a row, are now guaranteed to move up to 4th on this list.

It will be interesting to see how long the Queta on/off numbers hold.

Queta on the floor: 0.982 points/possession, 38.9% shooting, 32.6% from 3

A very popular narrative I've heard today as the Celtics return to Orlando, is that the Celtics-Magic playoff series in April was a close one.
Was it, though?
It was the 5th largest scoring margin in Celtics playoff history, and the 2nd largest in a non-sweep.
