For all you NBA Cup freaks out there... Here's the knockout rounds schedule:

Posted this on TOS (that other site) six years ago today. The annual retweeting has become (Jim Nantz voice)... a tradition unlike any other.

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.

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.

USC hoops has a guy named Jordan Marsh. ... There are New Englanders who'll find that interesting -- even more so if the Trojans had a player named Macy who replaces him.

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. ⬇️

I'm convinced Anfernee Simons could drop 20 points in his sleep. Stone-cold scorer.

It may fairly be no consolation for the @celticsnba.bsky.social championship-only followers, but NBA people we talked to turned the conversation and had some interesting things to say about the Tatum-less, second apron-depleted C's now taking the floor. ⬇️

For what it's worth... Celtics not scaring anybody, but their approach is impressing opponents.

NBA exec: "Yeah, they’re trying to figure things out on the fly, but while they’re doing that, they’re not taking any plays off. As a basketball person, you have to respect that."

The Celtics will have their struggles with a reconfigured roster this season, and it may not look pretty at times.

But they ain't the Nets.

The Sultan of Stat, Dick Lipe, has the important noteage as the C's overcame 20 turnovers to drop Brooklyn to 2-12 with a 113-99 TKO.

The Celtics may have allowed the even more under-manned Clippers to get a little too close for comfort Sunday, but the Sultan of Stat always has it under control for you, his loyal subjects.

Perhaps the greatest personal joy of this job has been the opportunity to meet and know people like Richie Adubato and Kevin Mackey. There is, therefore, such profound sorrow in dealing with their passing these last few days. Basketball people and so much more. RIP, my brothers.

The Sultan of Stat and the Celtics showed up at the Garden Wednesday night. The Grizzlies? Not really. (Memphis is known for the blues, but that team is in a serious funk.)

As a result, Dick Lipe has several Celts stepping into the spotlight. ⬇️
