David Butler II-USA TODAY Sports by Andrew Hughes
Kyrie Irving (19 points) and Kevin Durant (37 points) were not enough for the Brooklyn Nets to take down Jayson Tatum and his 54-point performance at the T.D. Garden on Sunday afternoon. Irving was welcomed in the only way Cs fans will ever welcome him at 100 Legends Way for the rest of his career. Not warmly. Marcus Smart’s lockdown defense was instrumental in staving off Irving from having the kind of night he had during the two teams’ Eastern Conference quarterfinals matchup last May, and his nine assists helped illustrate the reason why the Cs never considered an Isaiah Thomas return. < LINK
Thomas was snatched up elsewhere, of course. Specifically, the Boston Celtics’ opponent Wednesday night, the Charlotte Hornets.
Charlotte enters Wednesday’s matchup at the Spectrum Center having gone 2-3 in their last five games, with a loss to the Nets last night. They sit in the #9 seed in the Eastern Conference postseason picture and would face the Atlanta Hawks in the NBA Play-in if the season ended today.

Speaking Of Robert Williams! He may not be a star yet, but other teams definitely know where he is, on both ends of the court!

Geesh I have a Project Management Professional (PMP) meeting that starts at 7 pm. Oh well, guess I'll listen in on the meeting during commercials but I'm watching the game.
Might not be able to post.
Go Celtics.

At work but watching highlights of the passing and stuff. I love it. If there is something i been craving for years it was ball freaking movement. And now we are getting it. And for those.who thought that the assist only counts if the point is made, the grand scheme of things is that passing makes the shot easier. Love it

those were the worst free throws I've ever seen. we're going to have to get barriers for safety under the basket when plumlee shoots.
this guy could take lessons from chris dudley
