Just remembered the Celtics aren’t playing on Christmas Day for the first time in nine years
Jaylen Brown on drives this season (as of Dec. 23):
468 drives (3rd in NBA)
131 FGM (2nd)
57% FG (9th, min. 100 FGA)
38 AST (13th)
Just about unstoppable when going downhill
This graphic is ridiculous
Credit to Pritchard and White for handling their elevated ball-handling roles like champs
Hugo González leads all rookies in total plus/minus by a wide margin
As of this morning, he's a +132
The next closest rookie is VJ Edgecombe at +94
It's insane how quickly he's making an impact
I knew Jaylen Brown’s shot last night looked familiar…
Took me back to a simpler time 🥲
People who only look at box scores and don't watch games have no idea what's coming with Hugo
They're not gonna know what hit them until it's too late
🎥🍿
With his 7th straight 30+ point game, Jaylen Brown tied Paul Pierce for the 2nd-longest 30-point streak in Celtics history
Only Larry Bird (9) has more.
h/t @realapp
Jaylen Brown tonight:
31 PTS (20 in 2H)
9 REB
2 BLK
1 STL
30+ points in 7 straight games, and 10 of his last 11
MVP-level stuff
Tonight's Celtics starting 5:
Payton Pritchard
Derrick White
Jaylen Brown
Josh Minott
Neemias Queta
A little surprised about Minott over Hugo, but I also like Hugo's energy off the bench
Let's roll ☘️
