Jordan Walsh is already(!) at a new career-high in scoring at halftime with 15 PTS on 6-6 shooting
🗑️🗑️🗑️
Level of competition aside, I’m impressed with the Celtics offense that half
I was a little skeptical without JB, but 66 PTS with 16 AST is a W imo
The C’s average under 24 AST for reference
The Celtics went small ball in the non-Queta minutes during the 1Q and it seems like Garza is out of the rotation
As we’ve seen, Mazzulla is willing to switch up the rotations as he sees fit, but two straight DNPs & no signs of him tonight seems telling
Tonight’s Celtics starting 5:
Payton Pritchard
Derrick White
Sam Hauser
Jordan Walsh
Neemias Queta
Big litmus test for the test of the roster without JB tonight
Payton Pritchard is among the top risers in the latest @NBA2K ratings update, now up to an 83 📈
Jayson Tatum x Lamar Jackson 🤞
Jackson sent Tatum a signed jersey back in June
Two of the best in the world 🔥
Jayson Tatum stopped by the Ravens practice facility on the team’s trip to DC
What‘s the most you’d be okay with the Celtics giving up in exchange for Ivica Zubac?
Jaylen Brown (illness) has officially been ruled OUT for tonight's game against the Wizards, per Celtics PR
Happy Celtics gameday! ☘️
The Wizards are heavily short-handed, but with Jaylen Brown doubtful, we’ll get a real look at how deep the C’s are in terms of offensive creation
⏰ 7 PM ET
🏟️ Capital One Arena
📺 NBC Sports Boston
Jaylen Brown is listed as doubtful for tomorrow’s game against the Wizards
It would be his first missed game of the season

5. Magic (2-1)
6. Cavs (2-0)
7. Hawks (0-0)
9. 76ers (1-2)

Nobody is a class above them. Wait until Tatum’s back 👀
How many players can you honestly say are having a better season than Jaylen Brown?
29.0 PTS
4.8 AST
6.0 REB
1.5 STL/BLK
49.9% FG
34.7% 3PT
Leading the Celtics to a 12-9 record and trending upwards
Back in October, Jaylen Brown acknowledged that “it’s going to take some time” before the Celtics found their footing after all the offseason losses
With that in mind, it’s incredible how far they’ve already come in a month and a half
How Jordan Walsh has fared against his latest slate of All-Star defensive assignments:
Donovan Mitchell (4 PTS, 2-8 FG)
Cade Cunningham (5 PTS, 0-6 FG)
Karl-Anthony Towns (3 PTS, 1-4 FG)
Jalen Brunson (4 PTS, 2-4 FG)

29.0 PPG
4.8 APG
6.9 FTA
49.9% FG (ties career-high)
77.2% FT
58.7% TS
No. 1 JB hoops have truly been a joy to watch 🤩
9-0 Knicks run to start the fourth quarter with Jaylen Brown on the bench
There will be zero people that genuinely doubt JB’s importance to the Celtics after tonight
If they claim that they do it’s just for attention
Tonight's Celtics starting 5:
Payton Pritchard
Derrick White
Jaylen Brown
Jordan Walsh
Neemias Queta
Back to full strength 💪
Are we rocking with Jayson Tatum’s taste in music⁉️
