Relatively easy for Celtic fans

Couldn’t get a direct one.  It was pretty sure on my two step.

Went with Shaq then Kobe yesterday.  Which was fun.
Interesting. From memory I went LaMarcus Aldridge --> Pau Gasol.

I too used Gasol, but went Tony Parker>Pau Gasol (I knew Duncan/Ginobili/Parker could all get me there, but was hoping Parker and Young played together during Parker's stint in Charlotte, no such luck).

Today's didn't instantly come to me, but the Celtics' hint helped me get there.

After 18 months with their Bigs, the Littles were: 46% less likely to use illegal drugs, 27% less likely to use alcohol, 52% less likely to skip school, 37% less likely to skip a class

I nearly botched this one.  Got my first guess confused with a different player, and had to go down a long rabbit hole to find my way back in time.

Yesterday I confused Bruce Bowen with Robert Horry, which made me take a lot longer than it should have to get to Kobe and the Lakers.

Today’s took two seconds, on the other hand.

Today's was simple.  Yesterday I can't even remember how I got there.  I know David West was my last piece.

I went Rondo-Westbrook yesterday.

Couldn’t think of a direct route today.  But two step was easy.

Still working on today’s, but how did you miss the infamous Perk trade for yesterday?

Really had to think about this one.  There's an odd game early in Steph's career that periodically gets posted that helped me come up with the player.

Ronny Turiaf did it for me in one yesterday.  Only got him because he's in this video of the Warriors starting a game with only 6 healthy players, then one gets injured and one fouls out.

Today's was easy, but almost missed it confusing one player for another, luckily I caught myself before hitting enter.

I screwed up timeliness,  had thought of the one player they suggested too and didn't guess him.

Whiffed today.

Thought Zaza played for the Kings early in his career and I could connect him with Artest that way (confusing him with several European Kings players), got me down a path I never recovered from.

Yesterday went with Robin Lopez, but almost typed in Brook, luckily caught myself at the last second.

New high for a winning streak of 9!

I got off track pretty bad  on a wrong guess today, but used one of this games great connectors to get back on track and got it in two from there!

Yesterday used Javale McGee then a couple of misses later Dwight Howard
Yup

I'm sure I could've got there quicker,  but thought of the ties and went with it.
