While it’s not exactly the highest bar, and granted luminaries like Blue Edwards, Bryant Reeves, Alton Lister and Todd Day dotted the inaugural meetings, it’s hard to argue Thursday is the biggest game in the 27-year history of the Celtics-Grizzlies series. pic.twitter.com/WtYQtTfK6T – 12:15 AM Chris Kirschner

Bogdan Bogdanovic on not knowing which version of the Hawks is showing up game to game: “I don’t know why it’s going up and down. Like why is it going from the greatest game we just had against Toronto to the worst game maybe in the season? I don’t know.” – 11:28 PM Chris Kirschner
@ChrisKirschner
Bogdanovic: “We lost that identity on how to win games. Just going through the flashes of the second half, De’Andre Hunter was guarded by Williams. With all respect, he’s a great defender but I don’t think he can guard him. We executed bad. We didn’t find a way to win the game.” – 11:25 PM Chris Kirschner

Brooklyn loses (again) to Toronto. What this means:
‣ The first-round pick owed to HOU is now #15
‣ BOS (6th seed) and TOR (7th) are each 4 games up in the loss column on BKN
‣ OKC owns LAC’s pick. HOU, by giving LAC (#16) a W tonight, jumped OKC 😂 – 10:18 PM Keith Smith

Somehow the Wizards are only a game behind the Hornets and Hawks for the 9 and 10 spots in the Eastern Conference Play-In Tournament.

Jayson Tatum has gotten better each month at drawing out a double when he gets a mismatch switch and rifling the overhead skip pass to the weak side corner.

That was a potentially pivotal turnover by Marcus Smart. After a Tatum 3 and Smart layup, Trae travels and Boston had the ball down 11. Instead of a bucket to get it into single digits, they hit 2 FTs. – 8:47 PM Keith Smith

Would’ve bet money Derrick White’s 3-point shooting would improve with his situation in Boston. Certainly didn’t expect it to get worse. He’s no great shooter by any means, but his drop-off from the perimeter this season has been substantial. – 8:46 PM Keith Smith

Didn’t realize today marked the anniversary of Rick Pitino’s memorable rant until I just saw @Bill Simmons tweet. I wrote an oral history of the rant — and, sort of, Pitino’s entire Celtics tenure — a couple of years ago.

Thanks to @Ballislife for digging up the funniest 89 seconds of an absolute rock-bottom Boston sports year. The Ricktator did this rant exactly 22 years ago today. pic.twitter.com/xCV1iOqVjb – 3:14 PM Christos Tsaltas

This week’s Hidden Gem is Robert Williams. You’re going to start hearing a lot about the creative ways in which the Celtics are using him. He’s been a driver of their improved play:

Celtics gained ground on the Bulls and Cavs. Lost a half-game on the Bucks. Raptors got closer. Nets and Hornets dropped further back.
East standings being this compact means every win and loss is likely to create movement up or down in the standings over the next month-plus. pic.twitter.com/aiXpfVELB1 – 6:54 AM Danilo Gallinari
