@Krisplashed
Nets say they are not practicing tomorrow. They have an extra day off tomorrow before playing the Wizards on Saturday. – 1:26 PM

@SteveBHoop
New from @HeavyOnSports:
Per multiple league sources, Heat and Celtics both interested in a trade to reunite with Kelly Olynyk.
Also… why the Celtics are said to be looking for a big more than a wing with the NBA trade deadline a week away.

@RealBobManning
NEW @CLNSMedia — #Celtics agree there’s “no ceiling” for Robert Williams as they try to accentuate his offensive game. Joe Mazzulla believes the big man needs to be a big part of their offense, and his 3Q jump hook against Brooklyn let everyone dream

Sean Marks was on hand for the shorthanded Nets’ embarrassing defeat Wednesday.

Full house at Clippers shootaround. John Wall, Brandon Boston Jr., Moses Brown and Jason Preston all took part in a “stay ready” game beforehand. Wall said it was his first time getting up and down the court since his abdominal injury. He said he doesn’t have a target return date – 12:21 PM

I usually watch every Celtics game twice. It helps me catch things I missed live, or to confirm things I thought I saw.
Full disclosure: I did not re-watch the entirety of Celtics-Nets a second time. I think I have what I need for the Takeaways. They’ll be up soon on @celticsblog – 8:56 AM

“He did a great job going from a three-point stance and getting out of it. That burst was incredible. I’ve never seen change of direction like that.”

Interesting time to look at these splits as the Suns come to Boston Friday. The Celtics 27-point win in Phoenix on Dec. 7 moved them to 21-5.
They’ve held the NBA’s top spot through the next 26 games, but they’ve looked like a completely different team doing it… pic.twitter.com/FCP5IKV22K – 1:58 AM


@SeanGrandePBP
In addition to a 43-point win, team records for Q1 points (46), lead (30) and home 3’s (26), the Celtics outrebounded the Nets by 25, their best since 12/22/19 vs. Charlotte (+30).
Boston is the NBA’s #2 rebounding team in the last month, and has cracked the top 10 for the year. – 1:25 AM

The Celtics thought they ran out of steam in the finals after some of their players, especially Jayson Tatum, played a lot of minutes to get there. He’s still playing a whole bunch.

My exchange with Robert Williams tonight after Joe Mazzulla said he can be a huge piece of the #Celtics’ offense. Nice to hear Boston emphasizing how much more he can give them on that end.

Full Kyrie quote on the Celtics: “It’s clear as day that they want to win the championship and they’re not wasting any time in the regular season. So tonight I just felt like we were just one of those teams in the way. We’ve got to be one of those teams that stands up to them.” – 10:53 PM

@RealBobManning
Tatum on his mins: “I’m not concerned. Me and Nick, we had a lot of conversations over the summer about how I felt after the Finals … lifting more, extra recovery days, changing my diet.”
Said they planned to physically and mentally prepare him for more mins.
“I feel great” – 10:52 PM

@Alex__Schiffer

JV: “I told the group I’m disappointed in the fact that I did not have them ready to play 46-16. We’ve been a group who has pretty much been focused and ready to play. So it was a great challenge for us on the road where they hit first, what was our response?” #Nets – 9:57 PM

JV: “The challenge is whoever is playing, whether we’re undersized, whether we don’t have the length at wing…is to continue to take the challenge every possession of doing your responsibility. So I give Boston a lot of credit tonight; they brought it to us.” #Nets #Celtics – 9:56 PM

Some wild coincidences with this Nets season and last:
-Durant MCL sprain 2021 was Jan. 16, this year on Jan. 8.
-Nets/Celtics epic blowout (28-2 start) was Feb. 8 2021, today is Feb. 1. – 9:11 PM

Jaylen Brown and Jayson Tatum shouldn’t see a single minute fourth quarter.
Ideally, they’d both be done after this timeout and would both stay under 30 minutes for the night. – 9:08 PM

Biggest subplot still looming tonight: Will Joe Mazzulla keep Brown/Tatum under 30 minutes on a night when Celtics have been up 30+ for three straight quarters? – 9:06 PM

Lots of numbers to digest (or choke on if you’re the Nets). Here’s one that speaks to how the #Celtics are running away – literally – in this game. Boston has 22 fast-break points.

Celtics up 79-45 on the Nets at halftime. Jayson Tatum has 23 points at halftime. Can’t ask for too much more than that from the C’s. – 8:35 PM

@NickFriedell
It’s been rare during this stretch with Vaughn for the Nets to get completely out worked and out hustled the whole game — but that is exactly what happened tonight. This game was over after about three minutes and the Nets never really pushed back. – 8:34 PM

@KeithSmithNBA
Sharpe had no idea the ball had been inbounded.
This is a disgusting display from the Nets defense tonight. – 8:34 PM

Nets just leave Al Horford open in the corner. Celtics get their lead back up to 34 points after b2b 3s. – 8:34 PM

@erikslater_
Very troubling that Joe Harris can’t create his own shot even a little this season. That part of his game has disappeared with a noticeable dip in athleticism.
A big area the Nets could look to upgrade at the deadline.

That’s actually a pretty good timeout by Mazzulla. Or, at least, it should be.
Nets are making shots. Celtics have gotten a little sloppy.
Good to pause and hopefully get things under control before it really spirals. – 8:23 PM

This reminds me of that runaway game in Brooklyn nearly one year ago (Feb. 8, 2022) where the #Celtics slammed the #Nets on a 24-2 run with Irving, Harden, Durant out. Similarly dispirited BKN effort vs. Boston’s size so far. 21-4. – 7:55 PM

ICYMI – I talked to Pritchard shortly before he indicated he’s asked for a bigger role from #Celtics on ET/Iguodala’s podcast.

Georges Niang on if the lead-up to this year’s trade deadline feels different than last year, when the Ben Simmons saga hovered before finally getting resolved.

The Hawks have dropped their asking price for John Collins per @Sam Amick.
“Per league sources, there is a focus on landing a quality player, or players, in return but no mandate for a first-round pick.”
Nets had rumored interest in Collins but have not been mentioned lately. – 12:41 PM

I’ve been told Phoenix Suns All-Star Devin Booker will return “soon” from a left groin strain he suffered Christmas Day at Denver.
He’s listed OUT tonight vs. Hawks at Footprint Center.
Suns begin five-game road trip Friday at Boston. #Celtics #Suns #Hawks – 12:00 PM

Horford on Joe/ASG: “It doesn’t matter to him, but it’s a big deal for us .. it’s impressive how he’s been able to take the helm and lead us through this path. At the beginning of the season, it just wasn’t easy. All the unknowns .. he’s not celebrating, I’m celebrating for him.” – 11:15 AM
