John Henry and the Fenway Group purchase the Pittsburgh Penguins in a move that will push John Henry closer to the Kyrie Irving than Big Papi in Boston
The Celtics lose to the 6 - 9 Hawks by 11. The Celtics shot 4.3% from 3. Jayson Tatum scored 34 with 9 rebounds and 5 assists and I'm a little tea pot short and stout.
They take on Lebron James and the Lakers in Boston Friday night
The Bruins have back to back games this weekend vs. The Flyers and Flames.
This has been headlines with the Obvious One
10 min The Celtics built a team to play defense and shoot. One of those looks okay
- Celtics lose to Cavs by 11
- Missed 98% of open 3's
- Shroder, Tatum, Horford, Smart, Pritchard, and Nesmith are 120 of 410 3 pointers. 29.2%.
- Grant Williams best high volume 3 point shooter - 40.8 %
* Been saying it for years. Bring in some guys who can actually shoot.
Relying on Tatum and Brown as scorers not shooters. Surround them with guys who hit knock down shots.
* Defense has held opponents to 99.3% in past 8 games. 5 -3 including blowing 2 19 point leads. Could be 7 -1.
- That shouldnt give you any comfort. This team is what it is until Tatum and Brown learn how to win.
* I expect Stevens to make a trade or two, but nothing happening until Mid January at the earliest.
Smart, Shroder, Rob Williams should be guys advertised.
*Latest trade rumors
-Ben Simmons to Kings. DeAAron fox to Philly. Harrison Barnes to Celtics.
Celtics send out Grant Williams, Aaron Nesmith, Josh Richardson, 1st round pick.
Marvin Bagley also rumored to be moved
- Terrance Ross for Aaron Nesmith, Grant Williams, 2nd round pick
- Dejounte Murray Kieta Bates - Diop for Marcus Smart, Aaron Nesmith, 2 1st round picks
