Top 5 Plays from Celtics Win Against Warriors (3/16/22)

Jaylen Brown from the Boston Celtics looks to the right while wearing a white home jersey in a game

The Celtics have been beating teams who are supposed to be contenders. When does that finally mean that we are contenders as well? Although Stephen Curry was injured in a purely hustle play, the Golden State Warriors should have kept up with the Celtics. The Dubs beat the Celts last year, on December 17th, 2021. Just as they have shown, the Celtics are a team that has turned it all around. Let's all keep willing for it to continue. The players and the coaching staff have shown tremendous grit and determination in order to all elevate themselves to be working together, while firing on all cylinders.

TOP 5 JAYLEN BROWN POSTER DUNKS OF ALL TIME

5. Marcus Smart Intercepts Hostile Object, and Delivers it Safely to Homebase

Marcus Smart is a defensive mastermind. His defensive IQ should be seen as equal to, or even greater, than Draymond Green's.

4. Jayson Tatum Delivers Long-range-leaning Three.


Unfortunately for the Warriors, nothing can really stop Jayson Tatum from shooting a three ove you, no matter how much you try.

3. Kuminga? More like Kumagain. 

Jaylen Brown isolates Kuminga on this possession, sending him flying into the air with a pump fake after shredding his ankles with dribble moves.

2. Rob-lock for the Block!! 

Robert Williams III is my DPOY choice this year. He is a defensive nightmare for any opponent that happens to be unfortunately matched up with him

Honorable Mention:

Payton Pritchard is always an injection of much-needed offensive production. Here, he shows off his elite three point shot (40% 3PT this season).

1. Lob 'er to Robert!

A common complaint about Jayson Tatum used to be that his playmaking skills weren't up to par with the rest of his offensive skill set. This season, he has largely turned that reputation around.

What is Highrise City?: A New Cities-Skylines Competitor [EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW]

Image
No new city-builders have tried to do the modern city building theme. While Tropico, Aven Colony, Frostpunk, Surviving Mars, Anno 1800, and Surviving the Aftermath all exist on their own as great simulation games, they are not truly based on building a modern day city.    [Exclusive Interview Below Game Overview] Modern city-building games have been in a drought, with the last major releases being Cities: Skylines and Simcity 2013. Almost 7 years have passed since Paradox published their competing product against Simcity, Cities: Skylines. It was a great game with minor issues that fixed and addressed many of the issues that the 2013 release of the legendary Simcity franchise contained. However, enough time has passed that Skylines has unfortunately been showing its age. But, until now, no game had the potential to improve on what Cities: Skylines now lacks. What new game is this? Highrise City. Highrise City is a new city-building simulation game that is going to be published in 2

Who is Payton Pritchard?

Image
Payton Pritchard is a third year NBA player who was drafted by the Boston Celtics. He’s 6’1, 195 lbs, and full of energy. The 2020 Draft Prospect page on NBA.com for Pritchard has him at 6’2, 206 lbs. They list his strengths;  Confident ball handler, passer and shot maker. Creates space with hesitation dribbles and burst. Has deep shooting range and a quick release. Plays with poise and tenacity.   All of which have been ringing through, especially as of late. From when this article was being written (3/25/22), Pritchard has shot 58% from the three-point line in his last 5 games. He also had 2 games of perfect shooting. This season, he is shooting an elite 40% from beyond the arc. From the free-throw line, he is a perfect 100%. Clearly, the man can shoot lights out. If his offensive pace keeps up, he will carve out a nice role not only on the Boston Celtics, but the NBA as a whole, as an elite shooter who can give you plenty of buckets at any time.

Was the Derrick White Trade Worth It For the Boston Celtics? Who is Derrick White?

Image
The Derrick White trade was a surprising one when it was first broken during the chaotic times of the trade deadline. Boston exchanged Josh Richardson, Romeo Langford, and two picks for Derrick White. Since the trade, the Celtics have won 10 out of the last 12 games they’ve played. He has averaged about 10 points, 3 assists, 3 rebounds, and 1 block. Shortly after the trade, in an interview, head coach Ime Udoka said that “He checks a ton of boxes. He's a perfect fit on and off the court. A guy who's going to come right in and be selfless, work hard offensively and defensively. He'll do a lot of things for us -- another guy with good length who can add versatility to our group.” With their recent elevation of play, Udoka looks like he was right on the money about Derrick White. He has seemingly been an amazing addition to an already-amazing roster. It has been a few weeks since the trade, and now we can look back to see if this trade was worth it, at least in the short t

TOP 5 MARCUS SMART PLAYS SINCE THE NEW YEAR

Image
Marcus Smart, a lifelong Celtic, has shown himself to be the heart and soul of the team. Going out of his way to produce the work that does not show up on the box score, he is capable of casually creating plays that can only be described as work of a basketball genius. Stay updated with the blog by subscribing  HERE ! 5. Let me just shoot this three real quick, thank you. The Brooklyn Nets have been very hospitable to opponent offences this season. They were very polite with Marcus Smart on this play, allowing him to stroll up and sink a three in the defender's mouth. 4. Marcus Smart, a gold-medal winning gymnast or just a very acrobatic athlete? You decide. Marcus Smart, after taking over point guard duties, has become a versatile playmaker. Here, he drives in and contorts his body around a defender, faking the layup and dishing it out for a quick drive and easy layup by Jayson Tatum. 3. Marcus Smart shows he's the heart and soul of the team No matter if we are l
