Day 3 without Celtics basketball… again ☹️
Biggest Patriots game in years though, can I get a Go Pats?
Looks like Tatum and Deuce were getting some shots up together in the Celtics practice facility

Celtics' eFG% from last season ➡️ this season:
Jaylen Brown: 51.5 ➡️ 54.9
Derrick White: 58.0 ➡️ 48.8
Payton Pritchard: 62.0 ➡️ 54.0
Neemias Queta: 66.8 ➡️ 65.2
Jordan Walsh: 45.2 ➡️ 69.4
Sam Hauser: 65.0 ➡️ 49.4
Baylor Scheierman: 47.3 ➡️ 72.8
What stands out?
The Celtics are still far from considering Jayson Tatum’s return though season, per @AdamHimmelsbach
“A league source stressed that the team remains several steps away from even considering the decision. Tatum must still reach several mile markers in his recovery before discussions about a return can be considered.”
The Celtics’ 2026–27 cap outlook:
They have six rotation players (as of Dec. 13) making under $10M — each under 5% of the projected cap. And they’re not just playing, they look like genuine contributors.
That’s how you build around two supermax contracts
Brad Stevens.
With his 14th 30-point game of the season last night, Jaylen Brown tied John Havlicek for the most 30-point outings through the Celtics' first 25 games of any season
Historic run from No. 1 option JB

I miss Jayson Tatum ☹️
