Genuinely loud ovations for Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown here in Charlotte from a crowd that is probably as much Celtic green as Hornets teal. – 7:06 PM

A LOT of green at the Spectrum Center in Charlotte tonight well before tip. This could have a home game feel for Celtics. – 6:51 PM

Rod Boone @rodboone
No Jalen McDaniels tonight. He’s been downgraded to out against the Celtics. He appeared to tweak his ankle last night after landing on the baseline following a play. He winced but still finished the game. So #Hornets are thin at wing again. Could be JT Thor time. – 6:05 PM

Gary Washburn @GwashburnGlobe
Ime Udoka said after that 25-point blown lead and lose to #Knicks
“it was pointed out to me that challenging the players publicly wasn’t welcomed by everybody.”
“Like I care, the guys love it.”
The #Celtics are 21-6 since. – 5:47 PM
Boston Celtics @celtics
Coach Udoka on Payton Pritchard: “The reason why he’s such a great fit is because, obviously he’s a high-level shooter, but he can play off the ball as well as get his own shot.” – 5:42 PM
Jay King @ByJayKing
Ime Udoka said he challenged the Celtics mental toughness after they lost to the Spurs and then lost a 20-plus-point lead against the Knicks. Said it was pointed out to him some people didn’t like him publicly criticizing the Celtics.
“Like I care,” he said. “The guys love it.” – 5:40 PM

Wake Forest just lost to Boston College.
This loss, along with Wake’s lackluster non-conference schedule, could wind up costing the Demon Deacons an NCAA tourney bid. – 5:05 PM

One of the funny things about digging into stats to try to add context to the Celtics DPOY debate between Smart and Rob is how many of the advanced metrics tell you it’s actually Al Horford. – 4:52 PM

So, Glen “Big Baby” Davis violated his bail conditions to watch the Nets play the Celtics in Boston on Sunday.
Davis has been charged with submitting fraudulent medical claims to the NBA’s benefits plan.
At least the Celtics won the game. Davis is also launching a comedy show.. pic.twitter.com/kv1ZTnSoIh3:49 PM

Boston College does not look like anything like a 12-19 team right now, they are balling out. I’m sure @Keith Smith ‘s drafts folder is already 🔥🔥🔥🔥 – 2:58 PM
