Now with the Celtics gearing up to face off against the Toronto Raptors in round two of the NBA playoffs, the Celtics will have to continue to play without Gordon in the lineup. Diagnosed with a grade 3 right ankle sprain and reported yesterday by Cs Twitter, he has left the Orlando bubble to seek treatment.   Gordon’s injury will have him out of the Cs rotation for at least three to three and a half...

If you think about it, every team Kemba had in Charlotte either underachieved or wasn’t good enough to actually compete past the first round and now look, he’s teammates with Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown. Kemba by far had his best game of the series against Philadelphia, he finished the game with an impressive, 32 points(team high), 4 rebounds and 4 assists while shooting 8 of 15 ...

Unfortunately for the Sixers they chose to shoot the ball at a low percentage all game having shot 28 of 95, 29%! If there was ever a game the Sixers had a chance of taking, it was this one. Joel Embiid again came out ultra aggressive against Boston and had himself another solid game, doing most of his damage in the first half, Embiid finished the game with 30 points, 13 rebounds on 7 of 20 and wen...

Last year the Celtics took Romeo Langford out of Indiana at fourteen, who to some draft boards, fell from the lottery. The Celtics look to have similar success adding another player of that skill level falling to them again. For now, let’s look at some guard and wing players I think the Celtics should consider. While gathering these players I took the pick number and fit surrounding the cu...

Cox/Associated Press  First Take: Jayson Tatums Superstardom   Without Ben Simmons (out with injury) for the Philadelphia Sixers many people expected them to have a tough time defending Tatum. With one of the best defenders in the league out of the lineup, Jayson Tatum has taken full advantage and lead both teams in scoring with 32 points, 13 rebounds and 1 assist in game one. Jayson also finished the game a plus 19, shot 10/11 from free throw line  (finally getting superstar calls!). In game two, Tatum followed his big game one with 33 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists. Not only did he shoot a super efficient 8/12 from three, he ...
