CELTICS-CAVS: The Good, The Bad, and what was better than expected Boston wins the battle of the boards along with strong play defensively, the kind of basketball that's reminiscent of their championship-contending days.

The @celticsnba.bsky.social put together back-to-back wins for the first time this season. Here's a look at what worked and didn't work, as well as what worked out better than expected, in their 20-point win over the @clevelandcavaliers.bsky.social.

Why Jayson Tatum recruiting Damian Lillard makes so much sense for the Celtics Despite likely being out for most of the 2025-2026 season recovering from an Achilles injury, Jayson Tatum is looking to strengthen the C's roster by recruiting future Hall of Famer Damian Lillard.

Jayson Tatum has quite a bit of time on his hands recovering from an Achilles injury. Rather than take up a hobby like crochet or fly-fishing, Tatum is working on his recruiting game and has a clear and undeniable target in his sights. open.substack.com/pub/sherrod/...

Newest member of the Celtics, Torrey Craig, has entered the game with Boston up 22-15 in the first quarter over San Antonio.

At the half, the Celtics lead 66-54 over Orlando. Tatum has 20 pts, 6 rebounds. Porzingis has 14 pts. The Magic are led by Banchero's 14 pts. Cole Anthony has 13 pts while Wendell Carter Jr. has 11 pts, 7 rebounds.

The Celtics are up 35-28 after 1Q over Orlando. Key stat to track? Three-pointers. Boston is a flawless 5-for-5 while the Magic are 2-for-9.

Is it time for the Celtics to tweak the blueprint for winning back-to-back NBA titles? History was not on Boston's side when they won an NBA title last year taking so many 3s. They've doubled down on it - and then some - this year. Can the C's catch lightning in a bottle again?

The Boston Celtics won a title last season in part by shooting more 3's than any team in the league - a first. Will it work again, or should the Celtics think about revamping their blueprint for success?

Love the "Grinch Stole Christmas" energy from San Antonio's Jeremy Sochan. His squad leads 58-51 at the half over the @ny-knicks.bsky.social, led by Victor Wembanyama (right) who has 24 points, 11 rebounds, 4 assists and two blocks already.

For many, this #Spurs-Knicks game is the first time seeing San Antonio play. This Spurs team is young, likes to get out in transition, and has multiple guys who can play above the rim NOT named Victor Wembanyama.

This list says a lot. There are two NFL games today. Guess where they rank among the seven games in terms of watchability?

JB's play with five fouls, coming up with huge plays defensively, was definitely the most high-impact moment of the game. You're right. It won't get enough credit for its impact on the game.

"I missed so many shots in the second half, I was bound to hit one." - Jayson Tatum following his game-winner vs Toronto, to Abby Chin.

Boston's Sam Hauser is not going to win many battles driving to the basket. But there are certain matchups, like vs Toronto's Gradey Dick, where Hauser's off-the-drive game can be successful at the rim.
