The Celtics Files

Marcus Smart was the first player to be drafted under the then new coaching reign of Brad Stevens in 2014. Since then, they went to the playoffs seven years straight while Stevens was coaching. Now, Stevens gets to congratulate his guy as Defensive Player of the Year #Celtics

Baylor Scheierman is adamant that he didn’t touch the ball last. Looks to Joe Mazzulla. Mazzulla challenges without looking back to his guy, Matt Reynolds. #Celtics

Payton Pritchard is feeling it tonight 😠#Celtics

#Celtics first quarter shooting: 13/15 2PT 3/9 3PT 9/11 FT

Jordan Walsh swimming to the basket and finishes at the rim after a behind-the-back pass from Jayson Tatum. Tatum hits a 3 on the next possession. Timeout by CHI. #Celtics

#Celtics owner Bill Chisholm pregame on the 76ers: “I want to kick their ass.”

Jaylen Brown says he can understand why Brian Scalabrine feels the need to talk about him in the way that he is: “Yeah, I mean, I guess it is what it is. I saw that, I saw Scal has made some comments. Never had any issues with Scal, I love Scal, but I guess he’s doing what he has to do. I can understand why he feels the need to do that. … I never demanded a trade, never made a list of ultimatums of any sort.”

The ultimate checkmate for Jayson Tatum will be to make a pair of lamb chops and gravy edition Tatum 5s.

This spectacle keeps growing, now Camai Mazzulla is liking it 👀 #Celtics

Jaylen Brown’s misplaced feelings towards Jayson Tatum is petty and he’s reluctant to understand that Tatum wasn’t involved in the #Celtics decision to trade him. Brown wanted to feel some support from his former teammate and it didn’t happen: thecelticsfiles.wordpress.co…

Jaylen Brown on Jayson Tatum: “He’s got a great PR team. … There’s no beef. But there might be some lamb chops and gravy.” 😳

Paul George tosses to Derrick White, who rounds the corner into the paint and kicks it back out to George. The shot didn’t fall but a great design, great call here. #Celtics

What a move by Jordan Walsh attacking the basket. The shot didn’t go in, but something clicked for him on that take. #Celtics

Since 2020, Paul George has played in 70+ games once and 50+ twice. I think he’ll play the most he has in a while with the #Celtics this season. (📸Brian Babineau, NBAE Getty Images)

Jayson Tatum should start facilitating. He’s 5-of-20 FG, hasn’t made any threes (0-7). He has 10 assists. Focus on what’s working right now. #Celtics

Javonte Green will always be a baller, man.

The limit doesn’t exist for Payton Pritchard. #Celtics

#Celtics center Mitchell Robinson tweaked his left ankle, hopped off the floor here in the 2Q vs #Pistons

Jordan Walsh, in between two players, tapped the rebound back to Paul George who hit an open 3-pointer. #Celtics

Jordan Walsh needs to be more aggressive on offense if he’s going to be in the starting lineup. #Celtics

#Celtics Game Day, we’re back 🍀
