All things considered, I'd like to avoid the Knicks till the ecf.  Still think they pose the most matchup issues in the East.

Yeah agreed entirely with this.

Same. They do well against our wings and also rebound very well.

True. They are the team to beat in the East, not Detroit. Gotta exorcise some of those playoff demons with the Knicks.

You don?t think they fear playing 2025-26 Celtics?

Not sure who the team to beat in the East is, but Cs are firmly in that conversation.

Love to hear this. Take note, members of the media!

Jaylen Brown on him and Jayson Tatum: We?ve accomplished a lot. We?ve won a lot and we one of the bigger profiles in the game, and it?s the Boston Celtics. So, anytime if one of us scratch our a** like it?s going to be on the news, right? You know what I mean, So, we are aware and we?re both on the same page. We had a good talk today about what we want the most. We both, you know, talk to the team as well, which is important. So, because I feel like the team kind goes off, we?ll go off what our energy is.

Tatum questionable for tomorrow. Could be his first rest day.

Jaylen Brown on Jayson Tatum returning from injury: We know how gruesome and stuff injuries can be. So [Jayson Tatum] even wanting to come back was an unselfish act, putting his potential, his body on the line in order for us to accomplish something great. I salute that. After today, we talked about a lot of different things, we talked about the mindset that we both want to come back and add to win it. I think we understand where the group is at. This is a different group than we played with before, younger. We're used to playing with a little bit more experienced players over the last few years. It's a different dynamic. They're going to feed off of the energy that we kind of create. So I think we have a great understanding about what it needs to win. We've won for a long time.

"It would be cool. It would be nice. But in terms of like winning MVP versus winning a championship, it's a big gap for me. I'd rather play for another championship,"said Brown.

"It would be nice, but you know, that's not in my control. I feel like I fit the criteria for it. Especially with what people were saying about me before the season, that I couldn't do it or I wasn't capable of being this or being that," he admitted.

"I've been able to kind of shoulder that and then also help lead my team wo where we at now. People constantly just move the bar," Brown admitted. "So now we fast forward now, I don't have enough to fit the criteria, so I probably never will."

Win a couple more championships and it won't matter, Jaylen. You will be regarded more highly than MVPs during this era.

Boston Celtics: Joe Mazzulla on Ron Harper Jr.: "The way he plays in a game against San Antonio or OKC is the way he plays in a Stay Ready Game, the way he plays in a G League game, it's the way he plays in practice. He cares about winning. He cares about competing. He executes the details really well in all settings.

Boston signs Shulga to a standard 2 year deal. What does this mean for Harper? Maybe Harper feels he can get more elsewhere? Or can we still sign him?

Edit:
Looks like we can still sign him before thenregular season ends.

Yes, if we wait until the last day of the season we ca sign Harper for a multi-year deal.  If he signed now he could only sign a rest-of-season deal for the Celtics to stay under the tax.

Nice!  Called it!

With this injury to Vuc, and two roster see spots still to be filled, I suspect they are looking at bigs. Who is out there that might take a rest of season contract?

Charles Bassey, who we had in summer league, has had a great G league campaign and is postseason eligible.
