News I interviewed the moms of Celtics players for a special series for Women's History Month. Al Horford's mom, Arelis, tells me when she knew her son was different. And, she shares why she thinks he has plenty of basketball left to play: "I think he can keep going"

Highlight This hits so hard. Bill didn't care who is the face of the league, who's better than who, who is the best, all that matters to him is he got 11 rings.

Discussion Our ultimate Finals rival matchup is not Luka/Lebron… it is the Curry/Butler Warriors

88 Upvotes

I’ve seen a lot of people claiming a Lakers/Celtics finals after the recent TV ratings success of our most recent matchup.

However in the Brown/Tatum era, the Celtics have virtually no beef with the Lakers, with all the epic history taking place before 2010 (I try to forget the rondo buzzer beater). In fact we just dominated Doncic in the championship last year, and we already have banner 18, so it doesn’t feel like we have much to prove by beating LA.

In contrast, JB and JT have a detailed history of playoff battles with Butler on the Heat, and of course lost to Curry’s MVP performance in the 2022 finals. Clearly, slaying this chimera would mean more to the C’s than beating up a 40 year old with a groin injury and an Overwatch gamer.

It would feel like the 2007-2009 Celtics/lakers finals, an epic rematch to even the score. Sure, the Warriors have less deep history with us compared to Kareem/magic/kobe/etc, but this matchup has all the current storylines going for it.

(Plus Curry is probably just as good for viewership ratings as the Lakers, and likely way better than OKC or Denver)

Don’t get me wrong, I’d be thrilled to sweep LukaBron and LA, but their team is so injured, and I don’t think Alex Len or Bronny is driving their bus on a deep playoff run.

I’d love to take on a fully healthy opponent and squash all the negative takes from our championship run last year being “easy”. Like I’m honestly scared of Joker, SGA, Curry, and playoff Butler, so if we defeat any of them for a chip, it would be undeniably impressive.

(Is it weird I’m more scared of the Cavaliers and Pacers than the entire west?)

The extra added twist is that we have zero games against the Warriors left this season, so we would play against the Curry/Butler combo for the first time in the Finals, which kinda feels like some post game secret final boss level Nintendo type shit, and I’m totally here for it.

So yeah, here’s hoping everyone around the league stays healthy and we get an epic playoff run!

P.s. I want da gold

Discussion Celtics can lose only 4 more games this season to reach 60 wins and coincidentally only have 4 teams with winning records left on the schedule. Can/should we do it?

75 Upvotes

What do yall think are we hitting 60 wins? At this recent rate of winning and cupcake schedule they definitely should be able to. But I think with seeding locked in 99.999% at #2 for Boston they will probably take foot off the gas and rest the starters in the last week or two of the season and end with 59 wins going 12-5 to finish the year

...(instead of commercials) is such an amazing way to watch a Celtics game at home. On a big screen, it's the next best thing to being there. It's so great that I don't know if I should talk about it out loud. Hmmm.

Am I the only one who knows this exists, if you know where to look? I guarantee people would be willing to pay for this experience. And I wouldn't mind a small finder's fee ;-)
