Boston Celtics – Page 8

Jaylen Brown 23 Points Full Highlights (3/16/2019)

The Celtics may have won this game by scoring more points than the Hawks, but I’m putting this one in the “L” column because they let them come all the way back after being up by hundreds of points. That may not sound fair, but for a team like the Celtics who were supposed to…

Marcus Morris 21 Points Full Highlights (3/14/2019)

An underrated aspect of the Boston Celtics’ disappointing season (remember, according to Bill Simmons, they were supposed to win 67 games and high-five a lot) is Marcus Morris. The first three months of the season, he was playing like a borderline (very borderline), fringe (very fringe) All-Star. He was shooting way above 40% from three…

Jaylen Brown 22 Points Full Highlights (3/11/2019)

We were such fools to think that a player who shoots 65% from the free throw line could ever be a good three-point shooter. Such fools! Such astounding foolishness! It is a well-known adage that “he who sucks from free will suck from three”. Jaylen Brown’s near-40% three-point shooting last season was simply a statistical…

Terry Rozier 26 Points Full Highlights (3/11/2019)

I am currently choosing to ignore everything that Terry Rozier is doing this season so that my last real memory of him can be him dominating Eric Bledsoe for a whole playoff series and showing up to one of the games in a Drew Bledsoe jersey. I suggest that Celtics fans do the same. They…

Daniel Theis 20 Points Full Highlights (2/7/2019)

According to the NBA’s stats, Daniel Theis has the second best net rating in the league. I don’t want to jump to conclusions, but as far as I can tell that means he’s the second-best player in the league, after Stephen Curry, who is first in the category. The rest of the top 10 is…

Marcus Smart 18 Points/7 Assists Full Highlights (2/3/2019)

Boston-area sports fans have it so great today. They get to watch their beloved Celtics in the early afternoon, then watch their beloved Patriots in the Superb Owl (a contest which they are currently winning 3-0 – exciting!). That’s, like, six hours nonstop of eating chicken wings, pizza, nachos, chips with dip, and more chicken…

Terry Rozier 17 Points/10 Assists Full Highlights (1/30/2019)

While doing research for a recent Kevin Knox highlight video, I discovered that the was the second-worst midrange shooter in the league out of player who had at least fifty attempts from that range. Since I’m not going to waste all the effort I expended trying to navigate the stats.nba.com user interface, do you want…

Jaylen Brown 24 Points Full Highlights (1/30/2019)

Celtics fans better not get too attached to Jaylen Brown, because he is almost certainly going to be part of the package that the Celtics trade to the Pelicans in order to get the disgruntled Anthony Davis in return. I feel like Celtics fans have already detached from Brown given his regression from last season…

Aron Baynes 16 Points/3 Blocks Full Highlights (1/28/2019)

Aron “Angry Australian Topknot Santa” Baynes is halfway through his seventh season in the league. Since he wasn’t a young rookie (entering the NBA at age 26 after spending his early twenties riding kangaroos around the Australian outback while yelling “crikey”), he’s a lot older than most players who are playing in their seventh season:…

Marcus Smart 21 Points/7 Assists Full Highlights (1/28/2019)

Since Marcus Smart is now a 36% three-point shooter (a percentage that will go up after this game), I should stop being incredulous when the three-pointers he takes actually go through the net. In past seasons, it was a forgone conclusion that most of the three-pointers Smart chucked up there were not going to in….
