Tried to get the hoodie, but I feel like the hypebeasts got to it and probably aren’t even fans.

Genuine question because I'm not really an expert - why do the celtics play PP in short bursts? Couldn't he do what he does in his few minutes throughout the whole game?

Someone pls explain. Looks better than JB out there some days.

The loss to the Hawks means that Boston can no longer win the group, but we can get the Wildcard slot if:

The Magic beat the Knicks

AND

Either the Bucks beat the Pistons by at least 6 points or the Pistons beat the Bucks by at least 7 points.

Tiebreakers are determined by point differentials. Orlando will get the WC if they lose, so we need them to win. If the Pistons Bucks game results in either team tying Boston with point differential, we will win the next tiebreaker which is total points scored.

Nobody really cares about the NBA Cup anyways right?

Not sure if it's worth the $550 price tag.

After tonight, Pritchard is averaging 3.7 3PM a game. If he plays all 82 like last year and stays on this scorching pace, he'll make 303 threes.

The only players to hit more in a season?

Steph Curry 5 times. James Harden 1 time.

Let this man cook!

I am selling tickets for the game listed above (I can't go because of a sudden conflict). The seats are in LOGE8, Row 9, Seats 3-4. I currently have them each listed at $220 (I bought them each for $237) but I am willing to accept lower (I am not picky and I just want to get rid of these tickets but I do want to get at least 60% of my money back).

I am unsure of how to show confirmation of these tickets without showing my personal information here for anyone to see (sorry, this is my first time reselling tickets) but if someone wants to see confirmation, we can figure out a way.

Love my PP

With the win tonight and the Hawks win versus the Cavs, the Celtics no longer control their own destiny. Thankfully, the Celtics have a very plausible path to the wild card. The following needs to happen:

1. Orlando Magic beat the NY Knicks OR lose to the Knicks by -38 or more or -37 and score less than 145 points total
2. Bucks beat Pistons by 6 or more or beat Pistons by 5 and the pistons score less than 143 points OR Pistons beat the Bucks by 7 or more or beat the Bucks by 6 and the Bucks score less than 149 points total

We are essentially Magic fans on Tuesday and blowout supporters in Bucks/Pistons. And (technically) hoping for low scoring games in general.

Make no mistake--the Celtics earned the Cup predicament they are in by not holding the lead against the Hawks a few weeks ago. Everything is a consequence of that squandered opportunity, which if we had won would have made all of the following moot.

But the Celtics received next to no help at all from anyone today. The Hawks have won Group C, leaving the Celtics to attempt to secure the conference's one wildcard spot. Wins by the Knicks, Pistons and Magic left us with very few remaining paths.

In order to advance, two things need to happen on Tuesday. One is easy to explain: The Magic "must" defeat the Knicks. There's a path if the Knicks win by nearly 40 points, but that's probably not realistic.

--

The second path involves the Bucks / Pistons game.

If MIL wins by 6+, the Celtics advance!

If MIL wins by 5 exactly, the Celtics probably advance! (They could be eliminated if both teams score over 140 points, but I won't explore this scenario).

If MIL wins by 1-4 points, the Celtics are eliminated.

If DET wins by 7+ points, the Celtics advance!

If DET wins by 6 exactly, the Celtics probably advance! (They could be eliminated if both teams score over 140 points, but I won't explore this scenario).

If DET wins by 1-5 points, the Celtics are eliminated.

--

So TLDR: ORL probably has to win (agt NYK), and either MIL or DET (who play each other) have to win by more than a few points.

--

So it just comes down to scoreboard watching two games, and it's very possible that we can catch a couple of breaks. Hauser's 3 may end up doing a lot of work for us.

So we get the wildcard with an ORL win AND a DET win by 7+ OR MIL win by 6+.

In the event that NYK beat ORL it has to be by 37+
