Chuddy's Corner

The Celtics stroll into Miami and leave with two wins over the Heat. Boston won game 4 102-88 behind a monster game from Derrick White who scored a career high 38 points. The Jays led the way and Al Horford and Jrue Holiday were on demon time. But it wasn’t all fun and games; Kristaps Porzingis left the game with a non-contact injury and didn’t return and then Jayson Tatum appeared to roll his ankle late in the game. The team heads back to Boston where they’ll hope to get some good news on the injury and hope to close out the Heat in game 5.

Chuddy and Doug break down the game, take a look ahead to Game 5, and break down some of the other series going on in the NBA playoffs.

The Celtics get embarrassed at home by the Heat in all too familiar fashion in Game 2 111-101. The Jays played well, everyone else was bad, and Spo coached circles around Joe. Is the sky falling or was this a blip on the radar? Every Celtics fan definitely had a flashback to last season as the Heat’s devil magic was back in a big way as they shot 23-40 from the three-point line. Now the series shifts to Miami on Saturday night tied at 1-1.

King Chuddy and Doug Outs break down the entire game, storylines going into game 3, plus take a look at the other NBA Playoff matchups around the league.

The Celtics bounce back from a 118-109 loss to the Knicks by beating the Hornets 131-98 in the second to last game of the regular season. The entire top six got the night off to rest, but Payton Pritchard led the way with a career high 31 points to go along with 11 assists. Luke Kornet had a double-double with 16 and 10. Jordan Walsh, Neemias Queta, and Drew Peterson also each set their career high for points on an overall fun night in TD Garden.

Chuddy was flying solo to break down all of the action and take a look around the NBA including standings updates, injury updates, a fun hypothetical tournament, an update on the T-Wolves ownership saga, and more!

The Celtics beat the Blazers 124-107 at TD Garden in methodical fashion. Jayson Tatum got the night off but his teammates were able to take care of business in his absence. Jaylen Brown led the way with 26 points, 15 points and 9 assists, and Payton Pritchard added 20 points and 8 assists off the bench. The starters rested for the entire fourth quarter and the backups extended the lead and put this game away.

Chuddy and Doug break down all of the action and take a look around the NBA including playoff and play-in races all over the league, a check-in with the Maine Celtics, March Madness thoughts, and more!
