Heat still anticipating Jimmy Butler rejoining the team today in Boston at some point, after missing 7 games with right knee soreness. Heat and Celtics play again tomorrow night, before Miami moves on to Memphis for a Monday game. – 12:40 PM

Numbers don’t guarantee a Butler boost for Heat, but Spoelstra optimistic. sun-sentinel.com/sports/miami-h… Also: Why Haslem played for the first time since October. And could it be zoned out vs. Tatum in Friday’s rematch? – 12:15 PM

@RealBobManning
Horford coming back to #Celtics changed everything. Not only did it instill a leader back in the LR who had great respect in every corner, he played maybe the best defense on a team that ranked last at times defensively the year before. Even on a team where Smart/Rob all-defense. – 11:28 AM

@Anthony_Chiang
The Heat’s zone wasn’t good last night vs. Celtics, but it was much better than its man defense.
From last night, per Synergy Sports:
Heat allowed 1.03 ppp on 63 zone possessions.
Heat allowed 1.28 ppp on 29 man possessions. – 11:26 AM

@KeithSmithNBA
Takeaways from Boston-Miami are up for @celticsblog:
-Five straight

The Celtics shot 3 of 12 when Haywood Highsmith was defending last night, while forcing 4 turnovers and adding 2 blocks

Taking away those Highsmith possessions, the Celtics shot 61% from the field – 10:24 AM

@StatsWilliams
Al Horford is shooting 49% on 3-pointers, which ranks in the top-5 in the NBA (min. 50 3-pt FGA).
Overall, 5 of the top-12 players in 3-point field goal percentage are on the Celtics (min. 50 3-pt FGA):

Brad Stevens sort of runs the Celtics front office from a coach perspective, but in a different way than other coaches have.
As opposed to immediate on-court upgrades at the major expense of the future, Stevens eliminates questions by signing players early to fair value deals. – 9:48 AM

Early extensions since Brad Stevens took over in June 2021: Marcus Smart, Robert Williams, Josh Richardson (then flipped as part of Derrick White deal), Al Horford. – 9:46 AM

@KeithSmithNBA
Boston will now be at about $159.6M in salaries for next season, with the Horford extension factored in and Gallinari picking up his PO.
The tax line projects at $162M for right now. That means re-signing Grant Williams will push the team in the range of $15-20M over the tax. – 9:40 AM

Al Horford’s contract for this season will now become fully guaranteed at $26.5M. That was going to happen, extension or not.
That makes him on an essentially 3-year, $46.5M deal. $15M per year for Horford’s production is more than fair for Boston. Great work to get this done. – 9:13 AM

@RealBobManning
For #Heat, the zone is no longer an answer for Jayson Tatum and the #Celtics.
Grant Williams saw subtle difference in Miami’s scheme two years after it shut down their team in the east finals. But Tatum’s off-ball evolution rendered it useless Wednesday: clnsmedia.com/why-heat-zone-… – 4:23 AM

Boston’s 3-point output is so crazy. They’re first in spot-up frequency, FGA, and PPP to put them way ahead of the league in spot-up PPG. pic.twitter.com/juohLT7cBd – 4:11 AM

Brown & Tatum both had so many great moments tonight. They’ve found their spaces in the offense and keep thriving in them night in, night out. So important that they’re both rolling simultaneously. – 2:22 AM

Adding another ridiculous on/off disparity tonight, updating these numbers for Jayson Tatum.
Since he entered the NBA in 2017, the Celtics have outscored teams by 1,991 points.
Tatum on the floor (12,958 minutes): +2229
Tatum off the floor (6,968 minutes): -238 – 11:29 PM

@RealBobManning
Spo says #Heat didn’t show Tatum as much zone last year: “Tonight he was in such a groove, he knocked down some open 3s, hit some tough ones, had some drives, got to the free throw line … whether it’s man or zone … the schemes don’t matter. It’s about making it tough.” pic.twitter.com/mYpEBkOIOk – 11:22 PM

@KDTrey5
49, 8-12 from Tracy is ridiculous Jayson Tatum. It’s a lot of cookin goin on in this league man. – 11:19 PM

@JaredWeissNBA
Why does Joe Mazzulla show his team a sand castle every day?
Tatum: “Today was a good game we won. But when we go to film tomorrow, we’ve gotta build another sand castle. It’s a little cheesy, but it’s something that we’ve bought into.” – 11:16 PM

@LawMurrayTheNU
Clippers keep getting hit by Jazz runs, this latest a 6-0 sprint bracketed by missed 3s from Jackson and Boston that give Utah their largest lead at 111-97.
Ty Lue has only one timeout left with 7:05 left to play. – 11:13 PM

@DuaneRankin
Devin Booker three previous 50-point games:
70 on 3-24-17 at Boston (Lost 130-120)
59 on 3-25-19 at Utah (L 125-92)
50 on 3-27-19 vs. Washington (L 124-121)

Clearly, Clippers fresher second unit has made a difference tonight. Back-to-back 3s by RoCo and Boston cut Utah lead to 96-92 with 10:44 left in fourth quarter.
Wall basically created both 3s with his penetration and pace. – 11:01 PM

@ByJayKing
Tatum said Joe Mazzulla shows the Celtics a picture of a sand castle at every film session. You can build the best sand castle ever but then it washes away. The message: The Celtics need to build a new sand castle every day. Tatum said it’s kind of cheesy but the team bought in. – 10:53 PM

@RealBobManning
Tatum on Mazzulla’s messaging: “Joe has this, where every time we come into film, he shows us a picture or video of a sand castle, and the metaphor is you can build this beautiful sand castle, but when the tide comes up it’ll wash it away.”
Means after wins you have to rebuild. – 10:53 PM

@flasportsbuzz
Butler has been planning to fly to Boston on Thursday, barring a knee setback overnight or in the morning. FYI: Spoelstra said he played Haslem tonight because “we needed a little more experience in this game.” Takeaways from tonight: miamiherald.com/sports/spt-col… – 10:52 PM

Jaylen Brown says his neck feels better but it’s still a little stiff. He says he thinks he jerked it the wrong way against Washington and described it as kind of a whiplash situation where everything locked up. – 10:34 PM

@JaredWeissNBA
Jaylen Brown on his neck injury: “I have no idea. I think in the middle of the game, I think I might have jerked in a direction and they described it as a whiplash situation. It locked everything up and I couldn’t turn my head for a day or two. But I feel better now.” – 10:34 PM

Jaylen Brown says his neck is still a little tight but it felt “alright, still getting better” – 10:33 PM

Jayson Tatum (59.2%) entered tonight with a higher 2-point field goal percentage than Giannis Antetokounmpo (58.4%).
That’s not going to sustain. This has been an unusually poor stretch for Giannis that’s already starting to turn, but it’s still wildly impressive for Tatum. – 10:30 PM

Bam, ejected late for complaining, was unhappy that Heat got only 9 FTs, suggesting that doesn’t make sense for a team that gets into paint as often as Miami does. Boston had 23 FTs. Bam also wants to be looked in the eye and answered when he tries to calmly discuss with ref. – 10:25 PM

Tatum shakes off Smart on the final possession, he’ll live with a 49-point, 11 rebound night.
The Celtics were +29 with him in the game, -16 when he was out.

Tatum has 49 with 24 seconds left but the #Celtics are just going to run the clock out. Class move. #Heat – 9:41 PM


@SuryaHeatNBA
Celtics needed a monster game from Tatum to hold off the Butler-less Heat at home. Would love to see him return for the rematch. – 9:41 PM

@John_Karalis
LMAO Tony Brothers just tossed Bam Adebayo with 24 seconds to go and the game basically over. Tatum gets 2 free throws to get to 49 points. – 9:41 PM

@GwashburnGlobe
Adebayo just got tossed, Tatum will get two tech FTs. He would need another point after that in the final 24 seconds. #Celtics #Heat – 9:40 PM

Bam Adebayo just got two techs from Tony Brothers and he’s Bam Adebyeo – 9:40 PM

Credit to the Heat for battling through all these runs, but the defense just doesn’t have enough tonight – 9:37 PM

@treykerby
Will Jayson Tatum credit season five of The Crown for his performance? – 9:37 PM

@KeithSmithNBA
Jayson Tatum has directly or indirectly created 11 of the Celtics last 13 points:
-His cut to the nail opened up Hoford
-Hit a three
-His cut opened up Brown to go backdoor for lob
-Hit a three
Miami’s defense is bent towards Tatum every play and still can’t stop him. – 9:37 PM

@SeanGrandePBP
Throw in 11 rebounds, 3 assists an a +26 in a game the Celtics lead by 10.
Another MVP night for #0. pic.twitter.com/q1dJxYwP4d – 9:36 PM


@JaredWeissNBA
Don’t see how the Heat can close games with both Strus and Herro out there on defense. First the Brown back cut. Then Celtics run their loop play where Grant spins around Tatum at the nail then Tatum pops out of it & they completely lost Tatum. 47 points for the Prince of Boston. – 9:35 PM

@ByTimReynolds
Celtics record for points vs. Heat: 52 by Isaiah Thomas.
Tatum up to 47 late in this one. – 9:35 PM

@GwashburnGlobe
The #Celtics are definitely going to try to get Tatum 50. 1:39 left. BOS up 10. – 9:34 PM

@LawMurrayTheNU
So it’s an all bench lineup of Wall, Boston, Batum, Covington, Diabaté – 9:34 PM

@RealBobManning
Wow. That screening action by Grant-Tatum gets Tatum another 3 and might’ve just won the game.

Understand, the Heat are playing well. Will be interesting to see how the Butler factor impacts Friday’s rematch. – 9:34 PM



@AndrewGreif
Brandon Boston Jr. is in with the second unit late in the first quarter. His first NBA appearance since Oct. 31 and his first game action at all since Nov. 12. He’s been dealing with a leg injury. – 9:32 PM

@wcgoldberg
The Celtics have converted half a dozen Heat misses at the rim into points tonight.
A lot going on in this game, but that may end up being the swing factor. – 9:27 PM

I’m not sure how Lowry missed that last layup so badly. Looked like he got caught in between taking the layup and throwing the lob to Adebayo. – 9:26 PM

If it seems like the Celtics have hardly missed a 3-pointer recently, it’s true.
They’re at 47.5 percent tonight and on pace to shoot 44 percent or better for the eighth time in nine games. – 9:24 PM

@KeithSmithNBA
Boston has settled down after the bad start to Q4. Doing a better job getting into the zone and finding shooters. – 9:23 PM


@RealBobManning
Gabe Vincent just went to the locker room. He was questionable tonight with a knee ailment. – 9:22 PM

@KeithSmithNBA
This is something that @Zach Lowe and @Brian Scalabrine talked about on The Lowe Post: Malcolm Brogdon creating something out of nothing late-clock. He’s very good at getting to a shot or getting himself to the line when things are messy for the Celtics. – 9:22 PM


@RealBobManning
Looked like Tatum had a piece of advice for Brown he walked over to the scorer’s table to deliver during Brogdon’s free throws. – 9:21 PM

@RealBobManning
Ginormous play by Tatum getting the loose ball from Highsmith on the floor and finding White for an open dunk from the ground. That one’s going to matter in the final score. – 9:12 PM

@RealBobManning
Tatum’s 2 from his season high of 43 (@ DET) after taking that steal on Lowry to the house. Still 2:15 to play in the 3rd and he’s up to 30:41. Will probably steal some rest between quarters, but they’ll need him to stave off these Heat rallies. – 9:08 PM

@KeithSmithNBA
41 points for Jayson Tatum. The last two came off a ridiculous finish after a great steal. – 9:07 PM

If Jayson Tatum continues to play at this level and with this Passion they will be riding on those Ugly ass Duck Boats through Beantown come late June!!!! I don’t see any team beating the Celtics in a 7 game series!!! Carry the hell on… – 9:06 PM




@RealBobManning
Heat just don’t have a guy to stand in front of Tatum and they’ve kept Bam at the rim. Wonder if they’ll start switching more into the 4th to get Adebayo on him on the perimeter. – 9:05 PM

Well Max Strus is showing up against Boston’s drop
A clear opening for Miami
Heat continue to score in a variety of different sets tonight – 9:05 PM

Max Strus has scored the last 14 of 16 Heat points in the 3rd quarter. He definitely made a step up offensively #HEATCulture – 9:04 PM

@CTabatabaie
Heat shooting 14-for-29 from three, part of why Boston can’t put them to bed – 9:04 PM


@RealBobManning
Strus is really getting after it out there this quarter. Banging with Smart inside to earn FT and aggressively hunting his jump shot to keep Miami in this. – 9:03 PM

Some of the calls, and lack of calls, in Celtics-Heat are mystifying. Both ways too. But Tony Brothers is involved, so I guess it makes sense. – 8:57 PM

They say the missed layup is most costly…Bam off at the rim and Tatum goes the other way for 3PT layup.
Tatum has 37 midway through the 3rd. – 8:57 PM

Back to back Strus 3s pull Miami within 2. 26 makes behind the line for both teams. – 8:55 PM

Credit Grant Williams for setting up that first Tatum three diving to the floor for an OREB. He has a few nice plays tonight under the radar and this month despite it not being his best statistical one. – 8:53 PM

@wcgoldberg
I know Bam wants to get back to his spot in the zone to defend the rim, but you can’t leave Tatum open like that when you’re closest in transition. Tatum stepped into that 3 too easily. – 8:52 PM

Back to back Tatum 3s send the Garden into a frenzy.
I’m not 100% there yet, but he might’ve already become the best player in the league before anyone realized…the consistency is astounding. – 8:52 PM

Jayson Tatum still has it rolling. He’s up to 34 points on 11-of-17 shooting, including 6-of-8 from behind the arc.

@JaredWeissNBA
Back-to-back threes for Jayson Tatum and he’s already at 34 points, just 3 minutes into the second half. Spo was pissed at the first one then called timeout after the second. Heat’s 2-point deficit blown up in an instant. – 8:51 PM

Korntest worked again. But it was a Haslem three, so not sure it fully counts. – 8:00 PM


@KeithSmithNBA
I’m out on a limb here, but I don’t think Udonis Haslem can guard Jayson Tatum off the bounce. – 7:59 PM


@MicahAdams13
Things that need to happen at the Celtics game:
1. Show a highlight of USA dominating England at the World Cup followed by a title card saying “It’s called soccer” with their reaction on camera.
2. Kiss cam.
Would be greatest moment in that city since the Boston Tea Party. – 7:59 PM


@IraHeatBeat
Udonis Haslem for Heat as first big off bench, ahead of Nikola Jovic. – 7:56 PM


@RealBobManning
That’s about as bad of a defensive stretch as we’ve seen from the #Celtics. Started with Tatum letting Martin fire up a baseline 2 and flowed into 7 more #Heat makes in a row vs. Boston’s 2nd unit. 17-2 Miami run. – 7:56 PM

@wcgoldberg
Bam Adebayo just made his first 3-pointer since Jan. 25, 2021. Two seasons ago. It ties the game at 25 before the Heat go up two on a Lowry layup. – 7:56 PM

@ASherrodblakely
The Heat have bounced back with a flurry of shots, riding a 19-5 run and now lead the Celtics 27-25. – 7:56 PM

Miami isn’t going to get rattled by being down early. Too many vets for that.
The Celtics being sloppy is helping matters for Miami too. – 7:53 PM

The Celtics had 20 points on their first 7 possessions against the Heat. – 7:49 PM

@ASherrodblakely
The #Celtics FINALLY miss a shot after making their first seven, lead the Heat 20-8. – 7:49 PM

@RealBobManning
One of the early impressive feats the #Celtics pulled off this season was navigating a bunch of frustrating Bam screens in Miami. Adebayo just drew an early foul on Smart setting a pick, but Tatum’s B2B 3s made it 20-6

The Celtics offense is boring. It’s never bad. It’s just always good. – 7:46 PM

@flasportsbuzz
Celtics have gone to an even higher level this year, averaging league high 121 points, shooting league high 40.3 on 3s. They open 5 for 5 against Heat, lead 14-2. Boston and Milwaukee just on a different level than most everyone else. – 7:45 PM

The Celtics are off to a balanced attack of the Heat, with four of the five starters scoring. And the lone player without a point is Al Horford who has a pair of assists. – 7:45 PM

@KeithSmithNBA
So…this is VERY high praise, but the way the Celtics move the ball is reminiscent of the way the Bird teams used to move the ball. – 7:44 PM


@John_Karalis
Celtics carved up the zone in short order. Miami switched to man and Boston got a 3 out of it. 11-2 run to start the game – 7:43 PM

@Tom_NBA
Very limited numbers (39 possessions) but the Celtics have scored 1.103 points per possession against zones this season per Synergy, which is always relevant against the Heat. – 7:42 PM

@wcgoldberg
Heat come out in a zone right away, Tatum drives unencumbered for a dunk. – 7:42 PM

@John_Karalis
Tatum with the perfect cut down the middle on the baseline drive. Exactly what you’re supposed to do and he gets the easy dunk out of it – 7:42 PM

It’s like -500 odds that the Celtics fans start chanting “USA! USA! USA!” when they show the royals on the jumbotron. – 7:41 PM

Game 1 of the first #Celtics mini series this year. Love these and Miami is a great choice. They’ve probably played the Celtics as well as the Cavs, Bulls have, albeit in a losing effort.
