The Celtics keep winning games. Gordon Hayward is sitting in some dim room somewhere looking at his mangled ankle and wondering where it all went so wrong. Meanwhile, everything is going right for the Celtics, basketball-wise. Is Brad Stevens so good of a coach that he can drag this good but not great roster to…

Jayson Tatum 19 Points Full Highlights (11/14/2017)
Let the Giannis comparisons begin! I was actually thinking about that while compiling this vid, about the similarities in their game, and then Scal comes right out and makes the comparison. It was in regards to how much ground Tatum can cover with his strides, but I think there are more similarities beyond that. For…
Read MoreMarcus Morris 21 Points Full Highlights (11/14/2017)
At some point along the line I lost track of how the Morris brothers were doing. I think I know which teams they’re on, like for example I’m 99 percent sure Marcus is on the Celtics. Markieff is probably in China by this point. Or was that Marqelle, the third twin? As I said, 99…
Read MoreTerry Rozier 16 Points Full Highlights (11/12/2017)
At the risk of angering Celtics fans, I have to ask: is there something good about Terry Rozier that I’m missing? Other than that he plays for the current best team in the East? I’m your average clueless boxscore observer, so my opinion doesn’t hold as much weight as that of a blind Celtics homer,…
Read MoreJaylen Brown 18 Points Full Highlights (11/12/2017)
It’s a good thing I kept all my dumbass opinions of Jaylen Brown going into the season to myself, because he has totally proven me wrong. Or right. You don’t actually know, because these were my own personal opinions, not the ones I type out for you guys on a nightly basis. Maybe I thought…
Read MoreShane Larkin 16 Points Full Highlights (11/10/2017)
Shane Larkin is back! In the NBA! This will surprise a lot of people, because a lot of people thought he really sucked, but it doesn’t surprise me, because I didn’t think he was that bad. Not exactly “good”, but far from “go to Europe and never come back”. I mean, if he had gone…
Read MoreAron Baynes Career High 21 Points Full Highlights (11/8/2017)
Aron Baynes is already 30????? That’s it. Hype over. I was hyped for him, but now I have been forced to reconsider my hype in the face of new evidence. Evidence which states, unequivocally, that The Baynes Bus has completed 30 full revolutions around the sun since being expelled from his mother’s womb. This fact,…
Read MoreJayson Tatum 21 Points Full Highlights (11/6/2017)
The team Jayson Tatum is on is too good. How is he supposed to live up to his full scoring potential if there are a bunch of other competent dudes on what should be his roster? Either the Celtics need to get very crappy, very quickly, or they need to trade Tatum to a team…
Read MoreJusuf Nurkic 25 Points Full Highlights (11/5/2017)
Carmelo Anthony lingered outside the Blazers’ locker room after the game. He thought he heard a commotion inside, and he knew it wasn’t proper postgame etiquette to barge in unannounced, so he decided to wait until a player came out. After a few minutes of waiting, a frazzled-looking Jake Layman burst out. Carmelo moved quickly…
Read MoreJaylen Brown 22 Points/5 Threes Full Highlights (11/1/2017)
In a previous description I asserted that Jaylen Brown needed to send Gordon Hayward two cards, one a thank-you card for getting injured and freeing up some forward minutes, and one a get-well card for his injury recovery. After this latest Jaylen Brown scoring outburst (which I have taken to calling a “Brownout”), I am…
