“We live for these moments”: Sam Hauser and the Stay Ready group propel Celtics to win over Bulls

Photo by Patrick Smith/ Setting a new franchise record, Sam Hauser has made 21 three-pointers in the last three games. With a league-best 57-14 record, Boston Celtics swingman Sam Hauser is always looking for opportunities to stay challenged. With rest and recovery a priority at the end of the regular season, the Stay Ready group is poised for a colossal role down the stretch. The former Virginia Cavalier finished with 23 points, on 7-8 three-point shooting in the Celtics 124-113 victory over the Bulls. For Boston, it didn’t matter if Kristaps Porzingis, Jrue...

Three things from Celtics-Bulls

Three things from Celtics-Bulls

Photo by Melissa Tamez/Icon Sportswire via Another win, another game of nothing, and three more niche observations. Another game, another victory for the Boston Celtics. This time, over the Chicago Bulls, who shot a blistering 57.3% from the field. Despite that, Boston pulled off a win thanks to their three-point shooting and offensive rebounding. Jaylen Brown, Kristaps Porzingis, and Jrue Holiday all sat out against Chicago, once again displaying Boston’s health-first priorities. So once again, here are some niche observations.

Celtics stay ready, complete sweep of Bulls 124-113 in potential playoff preview

Photo by Jeff Haynes/NBAE via The Hospital Celtics ride on for ninth win in a row. Missing three starters? Back end of a back-to-back and third game in four nights? No problem in The Windy City with the Celtics beating the Bulls 124-113. Since the tail end of their west coast road trip, the Hospital Celtics haven’t fielded their preferred starting lineup over the last nine games. With Jaylen Brown, Kristaps Porzingis, and Jrue Holiday all nursing nagging injuries and Boston comfortably in the lead in the East and the league overall, head coach Joe Mazzulla started...

Must Cs: all the little things that the Celtics have improved on

Photo by Brian Babineau/NBAE via Against the Bucks, we saw all adjustments that Boston has made to be at the top of the league. So much has been made of the stars’ improvements throughout this dominating year for the Celtics: Jayson Tatum’s playmaking, Jaylen Brown’s control, and Kristaps Porzingis’ fit. However, there have been smaller adjustments made since October that have contributed to Boston’s 55-14 record that were on display against the #2-seeded Bucks. Call this the Steve Nashing of PP’s game. What Pritchard has mastered is simply keeping his...

Celtics made the right decision on Kevin Durant

Celtics made the right decision on Kevin Durant

Bob DeChiara-USA TODAY Sports After the Celtics swept the season series against the Suns last week, let’s revisit the Kevin Durant sweepstakes and its aftermath. On Thursday night, the Boston Celtics clinched their playoff berth with a 127-112 win over the Phoenix Suns at TD Garden, marking their league-leading 52nd win of the season. Without Kristaps Porzingis and on their third game in four nights, Boston pulled off a convincing win in their return to home court and swept the season series against Phoenix 2-0.

Porzingis triumphantly returns to Celtics lineup

Porzingis triumphantly returns to Celtics lineup

Photo by Brian Babineau/NBAE via After a five-game absence, the Boston big man didn’t miss a beat against the Pistons. It would be easy to forget that the Celtics have been missing, well, their missing link for the last ten days. A five-game winning streak by an average of nearly 18 points per game will do that. But don’t get it twisted, Boston is better with big man Kristaps Porzingis. In a much-anticipated return, Porzingis finished with 20 points on an efficient 7-of-14 from the field (5-of-9 from three) with eight rebounds and a block and steal in the Celtics...

It’s the defense, stupid

It’s the defense, stupid

Photo by Barry Gossage/NBAE via As the playoffs near, the Celtics are peaking defensively. The Celtics could run a few more Derrick White-Kristaps Porzingis pick-and-rolls. They shoot too many three-pointers. They don’t take enough three-pointers. After a two-game losing streak, the knee jerk reaction would be to criticize the offense. Losing is a deficit of points in the end. Shot-making can be a fickle thing however and Joe Mazzulla has been quick to defend his team on most nights when not enough of them go down. But quietly over the last few months, the Celtics...
