We played Joe Mazzulla and the Celtics coaches in a pick-up game. We lost by 53. - The Boston Globe Usually, members of the media play against each other, but Mazzulla decided to switch it up.

Enjoyed this from my guy @kharithompson.bsky.social, who was part of the media contingent that faced the Celtics' coaching staff on Tuesday. (Participatory journalism can be fun and informative, even when you lose by 53.)

Jrue Holiday to @kharithompson.bsky.social:

“When you go through something like what we did last year, we’re bonded forever. So, to go back into the trenches, to go back to war with your guys is always, always something fun.”

Sarah Strong is one of UConn’s most transformative freshmen in years.

She’s making her mom, Celtics executive Allison Feaster proud.

In 1998, Feaster helped Harvard become the first 16-seed to beat a No. 1.

This weekend she’ll watch Sarah in the Sweet 16.

"I don’t care. Whatever you gotta do. Just play the game."

Joe Mazzulla said Al Horford did everything he could to try to play, but ultimately wasn’t able to go with his toe injury.

Said they found out two minutes before the game.

What in the world were Jaylen Brown and Luke Kornet doing on that last play? Completely blew the coverage. That defense was a mess.

Incredibly, Ime Udoka's Rockets now have a better winning percentage on the season than the defending champion Celtics

Amen Thompson called game. 33 and 10. Just dominant. Celtics lose a nailbiter.

JT took like 4 steps on that drive but it is what it is. Gotta respect the aggression. Tie game.

Dillon Brooks has been unreal tonight, man.

Dillon Brooks just took a spill trying to get over a screen and when they called an offensive foul against Luke Kornet, he just started humping the air from the floor. This man is just horny for defense.

Scoreless first half for Jayson Tatum. 0-5 from the field. Five assists though.

The non-Porzingis bigs haven’t been quick enough to close out on these threes.

Houston is having a field day when he’s out. Lots of open looks.

Can we acknowledge the MOMENT that KP chest bumping Brooks after that slam was?

Electric. Garden loved it.

I agree. KP is having one of his better games though. Haven’t seen him look like this in a minute

Should note that the initial double-big lineup with Kornet and Porzingis was really effective.

Game flipped as soon as they went away from it.

Celts need a shot of energy after that Tillman-Queta lineup got blown off the floor.

Springer and Walsh get an early look.

Luke Kornet gets the start tonight. I’m told Al Horford is available.

Good stuff - enjoyed the perspective of "getting season tickets" as a college student.
