What’s the buzz on Twitter?

We need to get more stops and get back in transition quicker in the second half against the Bulls.

Zach LaVine didn’t attempt a shot within 10 feet of the basket in the first half and didn’t get to the FT line. Seven of his 8 FGAs were from 20 feet or longer. – 9:00 PM

New @RealGM Radio podcast! @Jared Weiss and I talk about Ime Udoka potentially coaching the Nets, the Celtics’ season so far, Jayson Tatum’s big start, their starting/closing five and much more basketball.realgm.com/wiretap/269276… – 8:55 PM


Celtics up 63-57. Tatum scored 5 pts and served 3 ast in the final 6 mins. Brown added 6 pts as part of a 20-12 run. Bulls shooting 51.1% FG, pouring in mid-rangers and kicking out against aggressive Boston collapses to shoot 6-for-14 from 3 (42.9%). Celtics lead reb battle 23-19 – 8:49 PM

Watch only Ayo Dosunmu throughout this defensive play.
This is the stuff you don’t catch if you’re only watching the ball, GREAT off-ball defense that blew up this possession. pic.twitter.com/9LzLrUeZJv – 8:46 PM

Zach LaVine’s first half shot chart, with a big hole in the middle
Jumpers are falling, but tonight continues trend of LaVine appearing to lack typical pop + comfort on drives. Entered play shooting an uncharacteristic 44.1% in restricted area pic.twitter.com/hyBOcm9Uye – 8:45 PM

Don’t think there is any downside to Brown and Tatum screening. Tatum forces a CHI foul setting one and gets two free throws before half. #Celtics 63-57. – 8:43 PM

Tatum played 22 minutes in this first half. Start of a back-to-back too. – 8:43 PM

Definitely a concerted effort to get the ball in Horford’s hands offensively to make plays in this one. Let Tatum, Brown, Smart attack off him against #bulls guards/wings – 8:38 PM

Good cut by Brown, good pass by Smart. Boston gets so much out of Smart working in the post. They need to run more of those actions. – 8:37 PM



Boston is right on most of the DeRozan pullups, but he’s still knocking them down. – 8:32 PM

So much Brogdon in this one. Leads a 9 min, +8 run with Tatum and the bench getting into some two-man actions with Tatum, getting Kornet touches to make plays and finishing from inside and out. Takes a seat with 14 PTS and 2 AST in 11 minutes.
#Bulls up 51-50 w/ DeMar cooking – 8:32 PM

not even a slip can stop @Malcolm Brogdon rn 🔥 pic.twitter.com/jAMuOfCBZs – 8:30 PM

Bulls didn’t even come close to getting matched up in transition and Brown blew by Vucevic for the easy dunk. – 8:30 PM

Just like we drew it up 💪
@Alex Caruso | #BullsNation pic.twitter.com/6LR5sfARf5 – 8:29 PM

Patrick Williams went like five minutes of good basketball and then inexplicably fouled Tatum shooting a three.
That’s kind of the deal with him. Always makes a weird play or two that hurts the Bulls. – 8:28 PM

Ever since Pat Williams admitted that it’s tough to play with All-Stars … he’s found life much easier. I’m the Dr. Phil of Bulls basketball. – 8:28 PM

Make it 12 points for Brogdon attacking the rim aggressively and leading this second unit. Mazzulla wants to give them some extra run almost midway through the 2nd. – 8:26 PM


Luke Kornet (4) has more free throw attempts this season an Al Horford (1). Other than @Bobby Manning, who saw that coming? – 8:24 PM

Fitting that Kornet and Hauser are giving the #Celtics solid 1Q minutes on the night Maine opens.
They both meshed up there and adjusted their games to the styles they’d play in Boston this year during last season. C’s making improved use of the G-League. – 8:24 PM

Malcolm is locked in on getting to the rim 😤 pic.twitter.com/wDSu7zJRXQ – 8:21 PM

Brogdon is eating up Bulls defenders off the bounce so far. Getting to the rim at will. – 8:21 PM


Celtics bench is doing to the Bulls what the Bulls bench usually does to opponents. – 8:21 PM

Hauser did a nice job staying with LaVine on defense and then worked a pretty give-and-go with Kornet to get the big man a couple of free throws. That was a good sequence for Hauser. – 8:19 PM

#Celtics pickup points seem higher in this game, but they’re still collapsing on dribble penetration and giving up 3s off them. #Bulls 5/9 from 3. – 8:18 PM

Great pass by Caruso to find Dragic.
Followed by a really nice drive for Brogdon for another and-1. – 8:18 PM



That’s 11 30-point quarters allowed by the #Celtics so far into their 8th game. They gave up a 41-pointer in the first Cleveland game, and three to the #Bulls the first time they played them. – 8:15 PM

Celtics. Bulls. Tip-off coming up. pic.twitter.com/gQg85fglQM – 8:14 PM


Strong start by the good guys.
DeMar: 13pts
Vucevic: 7pts
Zach: 5pts pic.twitter.com/06AnCkbut9 – 8:14 PM


Impressive start for Bulls, who lead Celtics 31-26 after Q1
DeRozan (13), Vucevic (7) and LaVine (5) combined for 25 of 31 points. Team shot 50 percent and scored 6 points off 4 turnovers – 8:13 PM

Bulls 31 Boston 26 after 1. @DeMar DeRozan 13pts. Vucevic: 7. Boston: Tatum: 10pts. Celtics 55%. Bulls 50%. – 8:13 PM


Bulls have come out in this first quarter and shown that it’s a business trip. Up 5, and playing with energy. – 8:12 PM

Haven’t seen a ton of ISO from Brogdon in a #Celtics uniform, but he goes right through Green for a 3PT play sizing him up and going downhill. 31-26 CHI – 8:12 PM

Chicago Bulls head coach Billy Donovan said on Friday that he is optimistic of guard Lonzo Ball’s recovery from his left knee injury. bullswire.usatoday.com/2022/11/04/bul… – 8:12 PM

Boston’s spacing is a mess so far. Lots of guys cutting right into the path of a ballhandler. – 8:10 PM

Kornet in with a cutting baseline finish from Grant and a block guarding Goran Dragic in the post. – 8:09 PM

DeMar has 13 points in the first quarter and remains absolutely automatic pic.twitter.com/pXJDTq7g3z – 8:08 PM


Luke Kornet is again getting the backup five minutes.
Kornet and Sam Hauser played minimal minutes against the Cavs on Wednesday night. – Ver noticia en Trending
