Mavs set to sign Kemba Walker, as @Marc Stein reported. Interested to see what Walker has left. Just has not been the same since the second half of his first season in Boston. Still has some offensive firepower but will need to defend to stay on the floor. – 8:14 AM

Some players look thrilled to be on the sideline showing off their outfits and chilling. Jayson Tatum looked uncomfortable being in the building & not on the floor. But the #Celtics got him some much-needed rest and still won easily: clnsmedia.com/celtics-succes… – 1:24 AM

@SeanGrandePBP
The Celtics got an absurd 1.383 points per possession in their win Sunday (and did it without Jayson Tatum).
And while these numbers don’t feel sustainable, the Celtics through 20 games are simply lapping the all-time NBA field as the best offense in the history of ever. pic.twitter.com/FCagIIf9Ui – 10:49 PM

Jaylen: “I like the spot that we’re in, playing great basketball. We are empowering our guys to come in and be aggressive, they feel comfortable in their roles, we’re shooting the shit out of the ball, and we play the game the right way…It looks like Celtics basketball to me.” – 9:29 PM

Tonight was the Celtics’ 12th consecutive game with 25 or more assists. It’s the first time that’s happened since 1990.

@JaredWeissNBA
When Jaylen Brown was a rookie and played too fast, he told Marcus Smart, “When everybody’s telling me to slow down, the defense hears that, so I’ma speed up!”
Now he’s learned how to play at his pace:
“We were like, nah, that doesn’t make sense. So he’s using his grace now.” – 9:06 PM

@BrianTRobb
Marcus Smart on Jaylen Brown: “When Jaylen first got here, he would go 1-on-5 sometimes and throw up some bullshit (laughs)….he’s using more of his grace now…He’s definitely matured in a way that’s big time for us.” – 9:06 PM

Wizards lose to the Celtics without Jayson Tatum. Losers of three straight, the Wiz reach the quarter mark of the season at 10-10. – 8:20 PM

By my count, #Celtics have led by 10 in all but three games this year. – 8:16 PM


@KeithSmithNBA
That was a sweet finish by JB there. He’s played one hell of a game.
And this one has been put to bed.
Celtics are about to be 16-4 through 20 games. Last year’s Celtics were 10-10 at the quarter pole. – 8:15 PM

Another Jaylen Brown And-1 and Unseld calls a timeout to throw in the towel with 2:04 and #Wizards down 16. Let’s see if Mazzulla pulls his frontline guys. #Celtics – 8:15 PM

@GwashburnGlobe
With a chance to cut the deficit to 12 with 5:52 left, Unseld goes back to Bradley Beal and Mazzulla counters with Brown and Smart. #Celtics #Wizards – 8:04 PM

@AdamHimmelsbach
And here come Jaylen Brown and Marcus Smart. Certainly not ideal. – 8:04 PM

@RealBobManning
Might be a walk of shame night as the #Celtics‘ 26-point lead from late in the 3rd is already down to 14 with 6:50 to play. – 8:02 PM

@John_Karalis
Garbage time is being interrupted by a 15-4 Wizards run to cut this to 17. Grant Williams had to replace Justin Jackson. Derrick White is in for Brogdon and Smart is on the bike just in case – 8:01 PM

The Celtics have two losses in regulation. Both Monday games in Chicago exactly four weeks apart.
Both Wizards games in Boston came on Sunday nights exactly four weeks apart. Celtics led by 25 en route to an 18-point win the first time.
They lead by 25 now after three quarters. – 7:50 PM

@BrianTRobb
It’s impressive that Sam Hauser has already risen to a level as a shooter where he can take an open transition 3 over holding for the last shot at the end of the quarter and no one is questioning his choice. – 7:49 PM


@RealBobManning
113-88. Sheesh. #Celtics 14/23 from mid-range, 10/11 at the hoop and 50% from three. Just shooting the #Wizards out of the gym and locking down defensively. Should be some extra rest coming for the starters ahead of Charlotte tomorrow as Hauser ended the 3rd with a 3 – 7:48 PM

@BrianTRobb
Celtics just put up 113 points in three quarters without Jayson Tatum. – 7:47 PM

If he played enough, Jaylen Brown might threaten his career-high of 50 points. I don’t think he’s going to play enough though. – 7:43 PM

@NeilDalal96
Tough sequence for Deni Avdija after he knocks down a 3.
Slowed down running into courtside fans, has to show help for Kristaps Porzingis on Al Horford in semi-transition and then step up onto Jaylen Brown with a full head of steam and gets the foul call despite minimal contact. – 7:27 PM

@KeithSmithNBA
It feels like Porzingis can get that shot whenever he wants. He’s just somewhat contact-adverse, so he won’t commit to playing down on the block as much as he should. – 7:27 PM

@CTabatabaie
Jaylen Brown is going to be an All-Star again this year, right? – 7:24 PM


@KeithSmithNBA
Al Horford might not play tomorrow on the back-to-back, but he looks like he’s 25 years old again tonight. – 7:22 PM

@KeithSmithNBA
I figured the Celtics would still move and score the ball without Jayson Tatum. I was a little worried about who would get on the boards.
Grant Williams with seven first half rebounds is good stuff. His career-high of 10 rebounds is definitely in play tonight. – 7:06 PM

@NeilDalal96
Kyle Kuzma’s lower back soreness flared up Saturday night, per Wes Unseld Jr. who attributed it to the 39 minutes averaged the last 5 games.
Kuz did a light pre-game warmup (followed by extensive film with assistant coach Ryan Richman), but was not concerned with the severity. – 7:05 PM

As intriguing as the Jakob Poetl idea is for a team that needs some bona fide Rob/Horford insurance come playoff time, it’s been so awesome seeing Luke Kornet grow into his backup role this year. – 6:42 PM

Luke Kornet has been pretty good. I think it’s probably fine to keep him in the rotation as a 3rd big when Rob comes back. No need to go after another big – 6:40 PM

Unseld wins challenge, block on Marcus Smart. #Celtics #Wizards – 6:27 PM

@NeilDalal96
Wes Unseld Jr. often avoids using his challenge except in the 4th quarter, but now with a 1st quarter challenge.
It did look like Marcus Smart was still moving when Corey Kispert initiated contact, but now you don’t have a challenge the rest of the game. – 6:26 PM

@CTabatabaie
Luke Kornet is the tallest American NBA player, let him cover Porzingis – 6:25 PM

@GwashburnGlobe
Unseld is going to challenge this charge call on Kispert and he should win, Smart was moving. #Celtics #Wizards – 6:25 PM

@SteveBHoop
Jaylen Brown has attempted 19.2 field goals per game this season. With Jayson Tatum out, he’s gotten up six shots in the first 5:24 against Washington. #timetoeat – 6:24 PM

@KeithSmithNBA
Marcus Smart flops all the time, but he just stood in there and took two real shots from Porzingis in the post. – 6:18 PM


@KeithSmithNBA
Washington has no connectedness on defense. It’s probably all the injuries keeping them from building any cohesion, but you don’t have to work very hard to get shots against them. – 6:17 PM

With Jayson Tatum out tonight, the Celtics starting five consists of Marcus Smart; Jaylen Brown; Derrick White; Grant Williams and Al Horford. – 6:08 PM

@KeithSmithNBA
Very curious to see who gets Jayson Tatum’s minutes tonight. There aren’t all that many more for the other guys, so I’m guessing both Payton Pritchard and Luke Kornet see some time tonight. – 6:08 PM

All of the Wizards questionable at Celtics are game-time decisions, per Wes Unseld Jr.
– Kyle Kuzma (low back pain)
– Rui Hachimura (right ankle soreness)
– Monte Morris (right ankle soreness)
– Johnny Davis (right groin soreness) – 4:38 PM

@John_Karalis
No decision yet on Rui Hachimura. He’s currently questionable with an ankle injury – 4:36 PM

@John_Karalis
Doesn’t seem like Joe Mazzulla is going to change Jaylen Brown’s substitution pattern with Tatum out, noting he’s comfortable in it and the team has depth to handle things with Brogdon & bench – 4:20 PM

@RealBobManning
One commonality between #Celtics/#Kings, the #NBA‘s best offenses (and T12 all time), is taking open shots quickly.

KAT has to better fight the urge to guard opposing 5 when he’s on the floor with Gobert.
It must be hard given KAT has guarded guys like Plumlee forever, but Gobert has to be on the non-stretch big every possession possible. KAT has to pick up Washington unless it’s an emergency pic.twitter.com/33ERnlM1kU – 10:23 AM
