Amari in the first stint tonight reminded me of Amari in his very early Maine games where he was indecisive, and a half step slow because of that. I hope he gets another chance in this one.

The Celtics have no green in their uniforms tonight and the Bulls have no red.
Some things about the current NBA are mildly perplexing.

I wonder if the Celtics will play Amari Williams some real minutes between now and the deadline to gauge where he is.
IF Amari is ready, maybe they pivot to acquiring a stretch big, or a speedy, highly mobile leaping guy like Missi.

With 7.9 seconds left in the first OT, Williams put the Nets up by 5
Amari receives the ball on a full court inbound and instantly hits Pritchard for the 3, setting up the Hugo heroics after Traore missed a free throw
That was two incredible coaching moves, and executions by rookies within seconds

Maybe Amari can step up and be the extra center.

Via Celtics Reddit... Zach Lowe on his show today: "All the rumblings around the league are that Boston is going to buy at the deadline." He said he had no idea for who.
I'd be surprised if the Celtics get past Feb 5 without acquiring another center.

Great game last night. The two teams are good and they're closely matched. Maybe they'll meet again in the spring.
The Celtics have two obvious potential avenues to improve quite a bit for the playoffs. If Boston adds a big man and Tatum successfully returns, the chess board changes.

It's been some time now since the NBA joined hands and began skipping down the lane with the gambling industry.
I'm not interested, I never will be, and I still mute all those annoying betting ads.

The Celtics moved ahead of the Wolves last night, and are now 5th best in the NBA.
Despite the big win, they actually lost ground to Detroit in point differential, and are 3rd.
The way they're trending, it's possible that the Knicks and Lakers both dip down to play-in status in the standings.

Amari is gonna be a player. Hats off to the Celtics front office for that second round trade last draft.
They get this year's Bucks 2nd rounder from that deal.

Is it a sure thing that having Zubac instead of Simons would significantly improve the Celtics?
I ask because the second question is... Is Zubac all that much better for this team than the rapidly improving Queta?
...and will he be better at all going forward?

Indiana beat New Orleans, moving the Pacers ahead of the Pels, who now have the worst record in the NBA. This matters for the Celtics.
Boston owns New Orleans' 2nd round pick. That selection is currently at the top of the round, for the moment giving the C's the #31 pick in the 2026 draft.

Say the Celtics keep Simons, but do make a deal.
The other likely tradables are:
1) Hauser
2) one of the young non-Hugo wings (Minott or Scheierman, less so Walsh)
3) a bench guy like Boucher or Tillman
When Tatum comes back, minutes will be lessened. The Cs have extra wings.
