The Celtics should waive Horford, give him his $14.5M and then re-sign him to a full max deal on top of that. – 8:27 PM

Tatum scores lay-up, puts C’s up 57-52. What may be overlooked in that sequence, was the turnover Boston forced AFTER Tatum fought over a screen to stay with Levine rather than just “switch everything” which too many Celtic players are too comfortable with doing. – 8:27 PM

Marcus Smart dives for a loose ball, which leads to a Jaylen Brown 3-pointer. That’s followed by a Chicago miss, then followed by a 3-pointer by Marcus Smart. #momentumplays – 8:23 PM

Bulls have taken much better care of the ball early this season than in 2020-21. But 6 turnovers in that first quarter (off which Celtics scored 9 points) really cooled momentum after hot shooting start
Bulls also didn’t turn Boston over all quarter. Rare for this group – 8:10 PM

Al Horford isn’t the best player on the Celtics, but he’s been their most consistently positive player, possession for possession. This is NOT a hot take; more a recognition of good work… I fully expect others to improve once they all realize how best to play off each other. – 7:03 PM
