Payton Pritchard waiting on a bigger role with or without Celtics

Pritchard hoped for a consistent role in his June exit interview and received the opposite. “After I’m done here, after this year, I’d like to be part of a bigger role a little bit,” Pritchard said when asked to predict his next 5-10 years. I think that’s what Brad and them know too, we’ve had that discussion, but a bigger role. Pritchard proved an important piece of the Celtics’ depth beginning the season through injuries to Marcus Smart, Jaylen Brown and Malcolm Brogdon. The Celtics don’t enter the deadline with significant needs, decreasing the likelihood Pritchard would be included in a trade.

Celtics obliterate Suns 125-98, move to 3-0 on road trip

It seems the red-hot Boston Celtics went into Phoenix with a point to prove, completely dominating the Suns in a 125-98 win that was never in doubt. Devin Booker led the Suns with 17, but shot just 6-17 while dealing with foul trouble. Paul’s jumper put the Suns ahead, 16-13, but the Celtics exploded for a 17-2 run.

Boston Celtics return to form, dominate Christmas Day matchup against Milwaukee Bucks, 139-118

After a blowout win against the Minnesota Timberwolves on Friday night, the Boston Celtics entered their Christmas Day headliner against the Milwaukee Bucks with a little bit of positive momentum on their side. Jayson Tatum led the way for Boston, recording his fifth consecutive 30+ point game — and the second-most Christmas Day points in Celtics history, behind Tommy Heinsohn’s 45 — with 41 points on the night. Brown scored 13 first quarter points, and a buzzer-beating three-pointer from Sam Hauser scored the Celtics a 36-28 lead entering the second quarter. shake and bake ‍ pic.twitter.com/KxtxbBUcM4 — Boston Celtics (@celtics) December 25, 2022Early in the second quarter, Bucks forward Bobby Portis picked up a controversial technical foul. caught a body pic.twitter.com/HxiqyBHAXR — Boston Celtics (@celtics) December 25, 2022The third quarter belonged to Jayson Tatum.

Floaters, cutting, and drives: How Jayson Tatum re-vamped his game

Through Boston’s first few games of the season, Tatum has made a noticeable effort to get inside and finish around the rim. Another great example is this video of Tatum driving on Stephen Curry. Last season, Tatum attempted 0.8 field goals per game off of cuts, and that number stayed the same during the playoffs. Instead, Tatum takes a quick jab step toward the three-point line to fake Harden out and then immediately cuts in toward the basket. Expect a long season of floaters, playing through contact, and cutting for Tatum - all things that will help him flourish.
