The Lakers were without LeBron James, Luka Doncic, Marcus Smart, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Magic Johnson, Jerry West and Elgin Baylor, but the Sultan of Stat knows beating LA still counts a little extra for the Celtics.
Dick Lipe's noteage lfrom the Caveat Emptor Classic (sorry to fans who paid big $):
What's next for Chris Paul? Where could he fit?
NBA execs have a lot to say on the pros and cons of bringing in the sometimes polarizing point guard.

The Celtics were able to live without Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown tonight... but, admit it, you can't live without the Sultan of Stat.
Dick Lipe has noteage from a 45-point win over the Wizards, who these days are the only entity in DC able to make Congress look productive by comparison

The Sultan of Stat has had re-check his calculator on several occasions to believe the numbers and results the allegedly mediocre Celtics are compiling lately.
Dick Lipe has the noteage from tonight's come from behind then hold on victory over the Finals hopeful Knicks.
Thirteen years and nine days later, another New York football team checks in against New England to provide a kicker's homage to the butt fumble.

I realize I'm just the middleman for the Sultan of Stat, but I'm sure there was pride, too, for the guy who set up Elvis' microphone and handed him his cape.
Anyway, here's the great Dick Lipe singing about Jaylen Brown, Payton Pritchard and a Celtic victory in Cleveland. ⬇️
Charlie Smyth, a Gaelic football player from Northern Ireland, made his NFL debut for the Saints today and kicked a 56-yard field goal.
It took a while for life to imitate art, but the kicker from The Replacements finally made it to the big show. #OleOleOleOle

Tryptophan from turkey will never slow down the Sultan of Stat. A hangover from Wild Turkey on the other hand...
Yet Dick Lipe rallies with notes from the Celtic loss in Minnesota: Impressive individual work by some, but why halftime leads of 10 can hide double-digit doom.

Sam Hauser meaningless 3-pointer at buzzer not so meaningless at all to wallets on either side of the Celtics-Timberwolves wager. Shot cut Minnesota's final margin of victory from seven to four at 119-115.
Final pregame point spread was 5.5.

On this holiday eve, we are thankful for the Sultan of Stat. ... The Sultan, Pythagorean party animal that he is, graciously sent along this noteage quickly so he could commence the revelry.
Dick Lipe with the best stuff(ing) from the Celtics takedown of East leader Detroit. ⬇️
Detroit arrives with 13-game win streak and best record in Eastern Conference. Celtics hustle their way to a 117-114 victory.
Seems like a good time to re-post this story from last week. ⬇️ It'll help explain how they got it done.

Dog just got on its hind legs and dunked (albeit with a nerf ball and lower hoop) during a timeout. With Neemias Queta out, Celtics have signed him to a two-way contract.

Good news for @celticsnba.bsky.social fans who don't have Prime Video:
Boston's Friday, Dec. 26 game at Indiana will no longer be on Prime, and has been moved a half hour earlier to 7 pm ET.
(The Philadelphia at Chicago game will take its place on Prime at 7:30 ET.)

The @celticsnba.bsky.social scored 138 points and shot better than 60 percent against Orlano (the D was missing) and still had some tense moments down the stretch.
The Sultan of Stat's fingers were on fire as he wore out a calculator for tonight's noteage. Dick Lipe with the details. ⬇️
I saw Anfernee Simons halted repeatedly by fans for pictures as he went to the court for early pre-game shooting. ... It was the first time I've seen him stopped this season.
(He has 16 points in 15 first half minutes against Orlando.)
One of the best players on the floor for Celtics-Magic tonight is carrying a whistle. Referee Curtis Blair had 18 points, 6 assists and 3 steals to lead Richmond to a 73-69 win over Syracuse in the 1991 NCAA Tournament -- the first time in tourney history a 15 seed defeated a No. 2.

The @celticsnba.bsky.social are still technically alive in the NBA Cup after a thorough loss to the struggling Nets, but if anyone can do the real math, it's the Sultan of Stat.
Dick Lipe with the numbers that added up to a nasty home defeat and a trip back to .500. ⬇️
Just fall out of bed in his footie pajamas and start splashing treys with his eyes cemented shut by the sandman.
