The Sultan of Stat has the relevant noteage as the Celtics' bench saved their bacon in Orlando Sunday.

Dick Lipe on Anfernee Simons, Luka Garza, Hugo Gonzalez and more from the latter half of a 1-1 weekend split with the Magic. ⬇️

The Sultan of Stat has the Celtics getting out-3-pointed in Orlando -- thus being hoisted by their own petard.

(No, the Sultan doesn't use words like "hoisted" and "petard," but he can sometimes hit you with a "hypotenuse" if you're not paying attention.)

The Celtics surrendered 37 points in the 1st quarter, but came back to wallop the wobbly one-win Washington Wizards. (Go back and read that last part in Elmer Fudd voice... I dare you.)

The Sultan of Stat, Dick Lipe, has the noteage on another big night for Jaylen Brown -- and many others. ⬇️⬇️

Upon further review...
NBA's Last Two Minute Report says the Keyonte George slip that caused Jaylen Brown to trip and fall should have been a foul in Celtics-Jazz laat night. (The INC designation is for incorrect non-call.)

The Celtics were the evil of two lessers tonight, falling to Utah in a battle of -- to put it charitably -- struggling teams. The Celts floundered in the second half against a club on the second night of a back-to-back.

The Sultan of Stat, @DickLipe, gives it to you straight. ⬇️

Chris Boucher hits his first 3-pointer as a Celtic. ... Thought he was going to be a bigger factor in the rotation. He still may be.

Kirk probably should have taken a cue from Jake Taylor... point to the fence, then leg out a bunt.

While the World Series Game 7 kept everyone up by going extra innings, the Rockets put the Celtics to bed early.

The Sultan of Stat, Dick Lipe, has noteage that's certainly more exciting than the Celts' 27-point loss.

Josh Minott is probably/likely/definitely/almost certainly renting right now.

He should consider buying.

Let's try a little NBA Jeopardy...

A: Kevin Durant appears to be un-guardable.

Q: What is something you could say from the day he entered the league until the moment he retires ... and then probably another five years after that?

Wast told by team the press release was a bit misleading. Celtics NOT wearing these tonight. First time will be Nov. 11 in Philadelphia.
Celtics wearing their new City Edition uniform (modeled here by a mannequin in the press room) tonight vs. Houston.

It's the first time in history a Celtic uniform will not feature green.

The Blue Jays should have Dave Stieb throw out the first pitch tonight.

And the second pitch and the third pitch and the fourth pitch and...

Gotta believe he's still got at least seven good innings in him.

The Celtics dressed up for Halloween as a winning basketball team for the third straight game.

Meanwhile, the Sultan of Stat dressed as a cool and debonnair mathematical genius.

Then again, the Sultan does that EVERY day.

Dick Lipe has the C's rebounding (#seewhathedidthere) for the W.

I spoke with Donovan Mitchell about his and Red Sox fans' mutual... shall we say *dislike* of the Yankees.

We also manage to squeeze in some discussion of the Cavaliers' quest to get back in gear after their brilliant 2024-25 ended prematurely.

It was hard to think the you'd have to count to two (as in consecutive Celtic wins) with the Cavaliers in town. But the Sultan of Stat, mathematical genius that he is, has you covered.

The great Dick Lipe brings you all the best noteage -- and sneaks in a Michael Jordan cameo, too

Cleveland 42, Celtics 40 after one quarter.

It's Defense Optional night at the Garden, and the C's and Cavs have voted...

The nearly week-long Celtic Nation-al nightmare is over. After an 0-3 start, the C's have broken through in New Orleans. The Sultan of Stat has the key noteage from the win over the Big (and) Easy Pelicans.

Dick Lipe talks Josh Minott, Anfernee Simons, Neemias Queta & more. ⬇️

The Sultan of Stat has the latest on the Celtics, who continue to be a fountain of forgiveness. Detroit missed 53 shots today, but the Celts said, "Don't worry. Here are 30 second-chance points."

@DickLipe brings you the noteage from the Bostonians' 0-3 start to the season.
