Greek Freak, first time all star as a starter!!!  That's a big Freaking story!!!

Can we now stop with the arguments that Olynyk is as good as him?

Is this a thing?

Unfortunately yes. This is Celticsblog, every imaginable argument is a thing.

A couple years ago it was a thing, and it should have been.  It hasn't been in a long time.

Did anyone see Carmelo Anthony completely brick a 2 point shot early in the Wizards game.

LOL I actually laughed so hard watching it.

Yeh, no.  It definitely hasn't been a thing this season.

More like can people stop saying how Olynyk is a soft player and how Danny messed up the draft?

Seriously STOP bringing Olynyk in the conversation when it comes to Giannis.

Since that won't happen, how about this -- using statistics, create a persuasive argument that Kelly is as good.  They're flawed enough, it'd be fun, and would distract those still stewing about the pick.

KAT is chewing up the Clippers down the stretch. 37 on 17-23 and seemingly scoring every possession in crunch time.

Embiid just went down hard early in the 4th quarter, then came down awkwardly on his left knee the following play.  Brown pulled him, but he seems okay.  Man... I hope he stays healthy.  He's a lot of fun to watch and a special talent.


Edit: He's headed to the locker room 'for precautionary reasons.'

Bulls getting demolished by the Hawks 58-31. (Jimmy Butler has 15 points in 17 minutes)

Raptors getting demolished by the Hornets 101-71 with 6 minutes to go in the 4th quarter.

Raptors losing helps us in quest for #2 seed, but Hawks winning gets them closer to Boston for the #3 seed.

Watching Houston vs. Golden State -- these are two really fun teams to watch, and I'd love to see a playoff series between them.

Other relevant notes:

Charlotte put a whooping up on Toronto tonight;

Atlanta is putting a whooping up on Chicago tonight;

Memphis beating Kings in Memphis in the first night of the Kings' long road trip.

Good night for our standings and potential trade suspects.

EDIT: Totally didn't see Phantom completely beat me to this lol

Lol and some great D by future Celtic Noel wins the game for them! Keep on winning, Sixers. You don't need another high pick in this draft anyways, and you just make it more likely that the Kings have to blow it up and trade Cousins.

Yep, that was fun to watch.  Big-time shots.  They've now won 8 of their last 11.  Love the Process. Genuinely enjoy watching Embiid, too.
