Celtics Regular Season News

My guess , is they aren’t looking for a center , but a guy to help GWilliams spot.  As he pulls weight at center.

Not my choice either 6’ 7” .no name nobody . Looks like they can do better than that.

Looks like Kanter,  or some other former 7 ft guy would be better .

At this point, I wouldn't mind bringing back Freedom, but I have a feeling those bridges are burned.  I am not thrilled with the possibility, but are we going to give Kornet some run?

Could Jaylen Brown have snapped out of his 3 pointer slump?

Over his last 5 games, JB is 14-27 from three, that's 51.7% over that span.  It has caused his season average for three point shooting to go from 33.8% to 35%.

A hot streak to end the regular season, might get Brown more in line with his 37%-38% career number for shooting threes.

For the third time this month, Jayson Tatum has won East player of the week. He now leads the league with 4 of them this season after tying for the league lead with 3 last season.

Enes probably burned those bridges, but by rule the C’s couldn’t sign him until next season anyway since they traded him away at the deadline.

I think he's been a little more selective. One less "bad 3" goes a long way. #JKJB

Celtics are now 4th in the NBA power rankings.

4. Boston Celtics
2021-22 record: 49-30
Previous ranking: 3

Boston continues to soar through the regular season, as the Celtics have won 26 of their past 32 games after Sunday's obliteration of the Wizards in Boston's final home game of the regular season. Now comes a three-game road trip to wrap up the year in Chicago, Milwaukee and Memphis. The Celtics are still capable of finishing anywhere from first to fourth in the conference. -- Bontemps

Sean Grande @SeanGrandePBP yesterday

In the last two months (Feb. 3-Apr. 3), the Boston Celtics have both the NBA's #1 offense, and the NBA's #1 defense. No word on special teams. pic.twitter.com/cKrkybk2aX

Keith Smith tweeted today:

Only three teams are in the Top 10 in both Offensive Rating and Defensive Rating per @bball_ref:

-Boston Celtics: #8 Offense, #1 Defense
-Memphis Grizzlies: #4 Offense, #4 Defense
-Phoenix Suns: #3 Offense, #3 Defense

When is the last day we could sign someone eligible for the playoffs? You guys think Brad will keep Juwan Morgan for the rest of the season? Or does he go in another direction and sign someone else?

The last day of the regular season.

Morgan is in the Covid protocol, so I doubt he’ll be back with the team.

Ugh, being in the middle of my own superspreader event, I hope that Morgan doesn’t start a new one with the team.  Last thing we need right now is more Covid.  I looked this up a bit ago, and I couldn’t find an instance of Theis having had Covid yet this year, and Jaylen had his bout six months ago.

Also, I’m going to guess that the next (and final) signing will be G-leaguer of the month, Chris Clemons.  No reason for this guess other than he had a good month for Maine.

Maybe sign a foreigner like the Bucks are doing.
