Its the 1st day of December. Since our last show which took place on Thanksgiving Day the Celtics played 3 games and now have played 18 games total on the season. The Celtics over the last week took on the Spurs, Heat and Pistons. The big game of those 3 being the Spurs a team which many analysts view as a top 5 team in the league. The Celtics already played 2 top 5 teams in the Cavaliers and Warriors losing both times but losing both games without the services of Al Horford and Jae Crowder. So That Spurs game was the first game against a top 5 team that the Celtics were gonna play with the full roster available and up to that point the Celtics had won 3 straght which were the only 3 games that the entire roster was available. The Celtics in that game against the Heat lost 109-103 in a game that saw them outscore the Spurs 96-87 in field goals but saw the Spurs outscore the Celtics 22 to 7 at the free throw line to win 109-103. The Celtics bench also was outscored by the Spurs bench 30 to 56. That moved the Celtics to 9-7 on the season. The Celtics then 3 nights later faced the Miami Heat. But would have to do it without Al Horford who would be out due to the birth of his child. The Celtics defeated the Heat 112-104 in a game that saw Tyler Zeller start in place of Al Horford. Isaiah Thomas once again led the team in scoring with 25 but was the only player who opted to take a 3 point mentality everyone else was 4 or less as the Celtics got to the line 26 times in this game just 6 less then the Heat who got their 32 times which 22 of those were between Dragic and Whiteside. The Celtics then 2 nights later would take on the same Pistons team in Boston who they had beaten in Detroit 11 nights earlier but this time it was the Pistons who walked away victorious 121-114 as 6 of the 9 Pistons players to play scored in double figures meanwhile Al Horford only scored 9 points on 3 for 5 shooting.
