i'm fine if they manage KP and he sits monday. his health is important for the long term.

I think we can beat Pacers without him. it will be tough though beating a team twice in their own home.

I agree and they only had KP for 6 min last night.  I expect they will not miss 9 free throws again.

would be nice if they could also get more than 0 free throws in the 1st half....

the uneven reffing was a large part why that game was closer than it should've been

We don't want him hobbling around with a bad eye   I don't see an eye injury as something we need to manage like an ankle.

Since Jayson Tatum entered the NBA in 2017, the Celtics...

With Tatum:   +2807
Without Tatum:   -78

Translation...with Tatum, the Celtics have been a 64-win team, without him?

A 39-win team.

Boston Celtics star Jaylen Brown said a controversial overturned call in the final seconds of his team's 133-131 loss to the Indiana Pacers on Monday night "doesn't make any sense" and "should be investigated" by the NBA.

"I think he obviously hit me in the head. I think they definitely need to do some investigation, that's all I'm going to say. I think that was an obvious one. I've never heard of head, part of the ball. It doesn't make any sense to me.

"I went up and asked like, 'Did I get hit in the head?' [The official] looks me straight in the face and he says, 'No, you didn't get hit in the head.' I'm like, 'OK.' Then you come down on the other end, that cost our team the game. Then you expect us not to be frustrated. We're trying to build good habits. We're trying to win as many games as possible, and we just dropped one because of that.

"I feel like we have the right to be upset. The league should understand. Of course, we're going to say something about it after the game. So I don't think there should be any fines. But I definitely think that one should be investigated."

Cameron Tabatabaie: The Celtics have recalled Jordan Walsh from Maine – via Twitter CTabatabaie

Looks like Jordan is playing well for Maine. He’s averaging 16pts/8rebs, shooting 41% from 3pt. Hope we get to see him in garbage time.

Dude is probably freezing his rear off in Maine

I agree , his health more important than loss to Pacers .

Those numbers are not wholly accurate.  For reasons that are unclear to me, the G-League separates the showcase stats from the “regular season” stats.  He played in 16 showcase games and only 8 regular season games.  If you look at all 24 games combined, he’s shooting 36.6% from 3, averaging 15/6 per game. Similar, but not quite as good.

I am interested to track how Horford and Porzingis are doing and how they are doing together.  I wanted to see how they do when playing with other starters (Tatum, Brown, White, Holiday) in either 1-big line ups or when they play together:

                              Minutes     +/-       Pace    Possessions    Per 100
Porzingis+Starters      336       118      102.47       717.3         16.5
Horford+Starters        157         18      103.21       337.6          5.3
Por+Hor+Starters       182         51      103.94       394.1         12.9

The last column is +/- per 100 possessions based on actual minutes and pace.  These are taken from 5-man line ups only for lines ups with starters (and Horford).  No bench time is mixed in with this.  All combinations are doing well, 2-big or 1-big, but Horford as the 1-big is the least productive.

Tatum, who is 3-for-13 on game-tying or go-ahead field goal attempts in the final 10 seconds of fourth quarter and overtimes over the past two seasons, admitted afterward he rushed the shot. He said he didn’t know if Denver would use its final foul to give, which would have forced the Celtics, who were out of timeouts, to inbound the ball again. “I think I kind of rushed it, and that’s on me,” he said. “In the back of my mind, I wasn’t sure if they were going to foul. They had a foul to give. But I had more time than I gave myself, so I should have taken some more time. “But, can’t go back. Something I can learn from.” – via Tim Bontemps @ ESPN

I just think they are trying way too hard at times to make Tatum take the final shot.

Does Mazzulla not have any other plays?? This stuff is becoming predictable. It's getting to the point where opponents are mixing up defensive coverages or schemes and it's throwing the C's off apparently. Is there an adjustment on our end? Why can't White or someone else be schemed up to have an open look.
