In February, Bogdan Bogdanovic came off the bench to average 17 points, 4.4 rebounds, 3.6 assists and 1.8 steals in 30.4 minutes per game, shooting 43.8% from 3-point range.

Ime Udoka said after the Celtics promoted Sam Hauser to the full roster, they were targeting another shooter.
Those who’ve worked with their new signing Matt Ryan say that’s exactly what they’re getting.

Coach Udoka says he wasn’t worried about Payton Pritchard finding his rhythm, noting how “he’s the guy that’s in the gym the most.” – 5:52 PM
Keith Smith @KeithSmithNBA
Ime Udoka on Payton Pritchard: “He’s in the gym the most. He’s a really hard worker who wants to get better.”
Udoka added that because of Pritchard’s work ethic, no one within the Celtics organization is surprised at his play as of late. – 5:52 PM
Keith Smith @KeithSmithNBA
On adding another player via buyout, Ime Udoka said “Unless something comes out of the woodwork that we weren’t expecting, we’ll probably stand pat.”
Udoka said that Boston added Matt Ryan because they wanted another shooter with some size on a Two-Way after signing Sam Hauser. – 5:50 PM
Boston Celtics @celtics
Coach Udoka believes our defense has been too relaxed at the start of the last few games: “We want to get back to guarding the way we were” before the All-Star break, he says. – 5:50 PM
Jay King @ByJayKing
Ime Udoka called Payton Pritchard a player “who’s in the gym the most.” Said he doesn’t think anybody inside the Celtics organization is surprised by his recent play. – 5:50 PM

Ime Udoka said the Celtics focused on starting games better. The opening group had been very good, but wasn’t as sharp in recent first quarters. – 5:49 PM
Gary Washburn @GwashburnGlobe
Ime Udoka said the #Celtics are likely to “stand pat” in the buyout market unless something unforeseen happens. This is likely the roster they roll with. – 5:49 PM
Jay King @ByJayKing
Ime Udoka said after Sam Hauser signed a full-time deal, the Celtics targeted another shooter for the two-way role. Udoka said Matt Ryan fits that mold. – 5:48 PM

Ime Udoka said the Celtics have everyone available for tonight’s game vs the Hawks. – 5:47 PM

Didn’t realize today marked the anniversary of Rick Pitino’s memorable rant until I just saw @Bill Simmons tweet. I wrote an oral history of the rant — and, sort of, Pitino’s entire Celtics tenure — a couple of years ago.
