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.

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. ⬇️

Rivals on Boston Celtics Without Jayson Tatum: Not Terrifying, But Never a Night Off
The Boston Celtics aren't as feared as they were with Jayson Tatum, but rival scouts and executives say they are still a tough out.

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

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.

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. ⬇️

The Celtics and 76ers played their third veryclosegame in as many meetings this year. The Sultan of Stat was reminded of his first slow dance with Mrs. Sultan (aka the luckiest woman in the world).

The Sultan of Stat has the Celtics getting out-3-pointed in Orlando -- thus being hoisted by their own petard.
