Jaylen Brown 23 Points Full Highlights (1/23/2019)

If I’m Jaylen Brown, I’m going shopping right now for a nice greeting card, maybe something with leprechauns on it or something, with the intent of writing a heartfelt message in it and delivering it to Gordon Hayward’s locker. The heartfelt message would be something like this: “Hey Gordon, It’s cool that you’re not injured…

Terry Rozier 26 Points/6 Assists Full Highlights (1/23/2019)

Terry Rozier has drawn the ire of Celtics fans this season thanks to his overall badness. His improved shooting from last season had regressed, perhaps due to a lessened role that he hasn’t quite adjusted to. In fact, his “Scary Terry” nickname has officially been revoked, simply because he is no longer “scary”. That leaves…

Marcus Smart 20 Points/6 Threes Full Highlights (1/18/2019)

So I guess I have to grudgingly admit now that Marcus Smart is a good three-point shooter. He was shooting above 35% before this game happened, and then Smart went 6-of-8, which means that his percentages will probably go up. To me, 35% is roughly the line that separates “okay” three-point shooters from “good” ones….

Jayson Tatum Career High 34 Points Full Highlights (1/14/2019)

Jayson Tatum sat silently in front of his locker before the game. While his teammates made small talk around him, they knew not to disturb him while he collected his thoughts and centered himself. This was his ritual before every contest; home or away, he would partake in this kind of semi-meditation. To help block…

Brad Wanamaker 13 Points Full Highlights (1/14/2019)

Okay, so I knew Brad Wanamaker I was old, but I was not prepared for how OLD he looks in real life. I guess I had only really seen him from afar, because the closeup shots of him presented during this Celtics broadcast shocked me to my very core. Look at that thumbnail. LOOK AT…

Marcus Smart 18 Points/1 Block Full Highlights (1/10/2019)

I’ve been one of Smart’s biggest critics ever since he came in to the league. Among the attributes of his that I have criticized: -His hair (which looks like white-cheddar cheetos dyed half-black) -His complexion (low blow, but his acne scarring is crazy bad) -Celtic fans’ adoration of him (not his fault, but also kind…

Jaylen Brown 30 Points Full Highlights (12/31/2018)

The biggest news from this game: Jaylen Brown went 7 of 8 from the stripe. That’s right up there with his famous and oft-replayed 7 of 7 performance back in February against the Hornets. Do you remember where you were when he had that perfect night? I do. I was making highlights at my computer…

Jayson Tatum 23 Points Full Highlights (12/25/2018)

A lot of haters are eager to trash Jayson Tatum for not being as good as people expected this year and for getting ruined by Kobe Bryant. First off, it’s not his fault that a bunch of Celtic homers way overrated him after a few great playoff performances and a boom on LeBron James. Second…

Marcus Morris 23 Points Full Highlights (12/25/2018)

I’m surprised to agree with Hubie Brown on something (“wait a minute!”), but he’s right that Marcus Morris has been great for the Celtics this season. He fulfills perfectly the role of “veteran bucket-getter”, which is a needed role for a team with so much young talent like the Celtics. You need a bucket and…

Jaylen Brown 21 Points/2 Dunks Full Highlights (12/21/2018)

For some reason, God has cursed me with the inability to dunk. He has also cursed me with a skinny frame and noodle arms that don’t have much muscle. There are many other afflictions He has cursed me with, but these are the two that are relevant to the discussion at hand. If we combine…
