Celtics currently have 14/15 roster spots filled and Drew Peterson has been getting significant playing time even though he’s on a two-way. I think Lonnie Walker is probably gonna stick the season out in Europe. Other potential free agent signings: Landry Shamet Keita Bates-Diop Leaky Black Oshae Brissett I don’t see the Celtics picking up one of those guys instead of giving Drew Peterson a full contract

Surprisingly the Maine Celtics don't have their own sub so posting this here. Looking on Google there are only a few token spots at the Expo Center and the Maine Celtics page recommends that everyone first tries to park at Congress Street Medical Garage at 887 Congress Street, a 4-minute walk to the center. Next, it recommends the Fitzpatrick Stadium parking lot behind the Expo Center, or a 2-minute walk.

Neither one of these places look like they have many spots. If they're likely to fill up I'd rather just plan in advance and park somewhere else and hoof it over rather than deal with a cluster f**k of cars all trying to get into an already full garage/lot. Anyone here been to enough of these games to give me the typical low down?

Never knew that he started his career in Boston. Always thought he was a laker lifer. And is he the only player that just played in Boston and LA in his career? I cant think of anybody else that played for just these two franchises alone.

I'm trying to find good prices for the Celtics vs cavs game (thought it might be a good match up) as a Christmas gift for my husband. Recs on websites to buy through? When to buy? And good seats to look for?

I haven't been to many sporting events so trying to figure out best bang for my buck.

Anyone else think this is a good idea?

He has been playing so good lately I was thinking it’d be nice for the team to get him a butler to cook for him so he can focus on cooking on the court.

Stole this from the Mavericks and Bucks sub, gave me a good laugh.

Kristaps Porzingis, Payton Pritchard, Luke Kornet, Drew Peterson and Sam Hauser. Any team come close to this number?

To be clear, Jrue has been a slam dunk addition for the Celtics overall- his on-ball defense and off-ball game offense were crucial to last year’s title run. But I can’t be the only one who got a little nervous after they signed him to 4 years/$135M including a player option in 2027-28 for $37.2M when he’s 37. I also understand that his offensive role has been very different since joining Boston as an overqualified fifth option, often relegated to spotting up in the corners, playing the dunker spot, and pushing the break. Still, the Memphis game definitely highlighted the fact that while he’s always been a solid 3-point shooter for his career, he probably overachieved with his outlier 60% corner 3P% last year, and that 33% that he’s at from 3 this season has kinda been a due regression to the mean. I love Jrue, but I don’t know if he’s featured enough on this current team to live up to that dollar amount.

Contrast his performance to Pritchard this season, who really took advantage of the additional opportunities given to him with KP out of the lineup for the early part of the season. He’s setting career highs pretty much across the board without being sloppier with the increased usage and still bringing the feisty defense. His size will probably always keep him from being what Jrue is on D, but his shooting to this point has been extremely valuable. He’s been awesome to watch this year, and his 4 years/$30M extension is looking like the best value contract in the league right now.

I don’t think it ever had to be one or the other, and I do think Jrue’s shooting will pick back up, but I wonder if the front office would offer him the same money if they knew PP would take the leap that he has this season.

Pritchard’s scoring has gone up 70% from a season ago and his SPG (steals per game) have gone up by 100% from last year’s championship season with the Celtics.

No player has EVER won both awards in the same season…

Will Pritchard (who’s played in 25 games - all off the bench) make history and win both awards?

HIGHLIGHTS:

• Payton Pritchard (27 pts, 10 ast)
• Derrick White (23 pts, 4 ast, 2 stl)
• Kristaps Porzingis (19 pts, 8 reb, 2 blk)

I am not overreacting

Forgive me for being out of the loop, but did Eddie get a 2024 Team ring?

I know not all organizations do that for announcers, analysts, etc., but I've always thought they should and the C's should definitely do it.

According to this site he is currently 16th best odds to win MIP.

Jalen Williams of OKC is best odds. He increased scoring by 2.7 ppg, and decreased his true shooting percentage from 62% to 59%

PP increased from 9.6 to 16.1 ppg, AND increased TSP from .597 to .674

How is he not getting more love for MIP? Is it because he’s the favorite for 6th MOY and you can’t win 2?

I have never liked how they give MIP to someone who was already really good the previous year, compared to someone like PP who has made a drastic improvement and is now a key player for a contender
