Sean Grande @SeanGrandePBP
The Celtics got an absurd 1.383 points per possession in their win Sunday (and did it without Jayson Tatum).
And while these numbers don’t feel sustainable, the Celtics through 20 games are simply lapping the all-time NBA field as the best offense in the history of ever. pic.twitter.com/FCagIIf9Ui10:49 PM

The #Celtics‘ offensive rating is now 119.9, the greatest mark in #NBA history.

Six more Marcus Smart-to-Jaylen Brown assists tonight. 43 connections this season. Third best assist combo in the NBA.

Kristaps Porzingis with a familiar message

Jaylen: “I like the spot that we’re in, playing great basketball. We are empowering our guys to come in and be aggressive, they feel comfortable in their roles, we’re shooting the shit out of the ball, and we play the game the right way…It looks like Celtics basketball to me.” – 9:29 PM

From the Sultan of Stat, Dick Lipe…
Tonight was the Celtics’ 12th consecutive game with 25 or more assists. It’s the first time that’s happened since 1990.
That’s 32 years and one gym ago. (Celts played in the old Garden through the 1994-95 season.) – 9:14 PM

Jaylen Brown on Marcus Smart: “That’s my brother and I appreciate him trying to make me the best version of myself.” – 9:08 PM
Jared Weiss @JaredWeissNBA
When Jaylen Brown was a rookie and played too fast, he told Marcus Smart, “When everybody’s telling me to slow down, the defense hears that, so I’ma speed up!”
Now he’s learned how to play at his pace:
“We were like, nah, that doesn’t make sense. So he’s using his grace now.” – 9:06 PM
Brian Robb @BrianTRobb
Marcus Smart on Jaylen Brown: “When Jaylen first got here, he would go 1-on-5 sometimes and throw up some bullshit (laughs)….he’s using more of his grace now…He’s definitely matured in a way that’s big time for us.” – 9:06 PM

I kind of wonder if Jaylen Brown gets a day off tomorrow on the back-to-back against Charlotte. Would make sense, especially if Jayson Tatum can play tomorrow. – 8:34 PM

Wizards come to Boston, shoot 54% with 23 assists and 4 turnovers against the Tatum-less Celtics.
And it still wasn’t close.

That was a sweet finish by JB there. He’s played one hell of a game.

Celtics are about to be 16-4 through 20 games. Last year’s Celtics were 10-10 at the quarter pole. – 8:15 PM

Wizards have cut it to 12 points and Jaylen Brown and Marcus Smart are both back in for Boston. Bradley Beal back in for Washington. – 8:05 PM

With a chance to cut the deficit to 12 with 5:52 left, Unseld goes back to Bradley Beal and Mazzulla counters with Brown and Smart. #Celtics #Wizards8:04 PM
Adam Himmelsbach @AdamHimmelsbach
And here come Jaylen Brown and Marcus Smart. Certainly not ideal. – 8:04 PM
Bobby Manning @RealBobManning
Might be a walk of shame night as the #Celtics‘ 26-point lead from late in the 3rd is already down to 14 with 6:50 to play. – 8:02 PM
John Karalis @John_Karalis
Garbage time is being interrupted by a 15-4 Wizards run to cut this to 17. Grant Williams had to replace Justin Jackson. Derrick White is in for Brogdon and Smart is on the bike just in case – 8:01 PM

This game is getting sloppy. Jaylen Brown could come back in to stretch the lead again, but not sure he should reenter this mess. – 7:57 PM

The Celtics have two losses in regulation. Both Monday games in Chicago exactly four weeks apart.
Both Wizards games in Boston came on Sunday nights exactly four weeks apart. Celtics led by 25 en route to an 18-point win the first time.
They lead by 25 now after three quarters. – 7:50 PM
Brian Robb @BrianTRobb
It’s impressive that Sam Hauser has already risen to a level as a shooter where he can take an open transition 3 over holding for the last shot at the end of the quarter and no one is questioning his choice. – 7:49 PM
Bobby Manning @RealBobManning
113-88. Sheesh. #Celtics 14/23 from mid-range, 10/11 at the hoop and 50% from three. Just shooting the #Wizards out of the gym and locking down defensively. Should be some extra rest coming for the starters ahead of Charlotte tomorrow as Hauser ended the 3rd with a 3 – 7:48 PM

Neil Dalal @NeilDalal96
Tough sequence for Deni Avdija after he knocks down a 3.
Slowed down running into courtside fans, has to show help for Kristaps Porzingis on Al Horford in semi-transition and then step up onto Jaylen Brown with a full head of steam and gets the foul call despite minimal contact. – 7:27 PM
Keith Smith @KeithSmithNBA
It feels like Porzingis can get that shot whenever he wants. He’s just somewhat contact-adverse, so he won’t commit to playing down on the block as much as he should. – 7:27 PM
Cameron Tabatabaie @CTabatabaie
Jaylen Brown is going to be an All-Star again this year, right? – 7:24 PM
Bobby Manning @RealBobManning
Phenomenal game for Horford defending around the rim. – 7:24 PM

Al Horford might not play tomorrow on the back-to-back, but he looks like he’s 25 years old again tonight. – 7:22 PM

Keith Smith @KeithSmithNBA
I figured the Celtics would still move and score the ball without Jayson Tatum. I was a little worried about who would get on the boards.
Grant Williams with seven first half rebounds is good stuff. His career-high of 10 rebounds is definitely in play tonight. – 7:06 PM
Neil Dalal @NeilDalal96
Kyle Kuzma’s lower back soreness flared up Saturday night, per Wes Unseld Jr. who attributed it to the 39 minutes averaged the last 5 games.
Kuz did a light pre-game warmup (followed by extensive film with assistant coach Ryan Richman), but was not concerned with the severity. – 7:05 PM

With Jayson Tatum out tonight, the Celtics starting five consists of Marcus Smart; Jaylen Brown; Derrick White; Grant Williams and Al Horford. – 6:08 PM
Keith Smith @KeithSmithNBA
Very curious to see who gets Jayson Tatum’s minutes tonight. There aren’t all that many more for the other guys, so I’m guessing both Payton Pritchard and Luke Kornet see some time tonight. – 6:08 PM

At TD Garden, where Boston will be without Jayson Tatum against Washington. That usually means a big night for Jaylen Brown. Brown last season in games Tatum missed: 30.4 points, ten rebounds, 4.4 assists. – 5:45 PM

No Jayson Tatum for the Celtics tonight.
Rui Hachimura, Kyle Kuzma and Monte Morris all remain gametime decisions for the Wizards. – 4:48 PM

All of the Wizards questionable at Celtics are game-time decisions, per Wes Unseld Jr.
– Kyle Kuzma (low back pain)
– Rui Hachimura (right ankle soreness)
– Monte Morris (right ankle soreness)
– Johnny Davis (right groin soreness) – 4:38 PM
John Karalis @John_Karalis
No decision yet on Rui Hachimura. He’s currently questionable with an ankle injury – 4:36 PM
John Karalis @John_Karalis
Doesn’t seem like Joe Mazzulla is going to change Jaylen Brown’s substitution pattern with Tatum out, noting he’s comfortable in it and the team has depth to handle things with Brogdon & bench – 4:20 PM
Jay King @ByJayKing
Joe Mazzulla didn’t commit one way or another whether Jayson Tatum will play tomorrow. He’s sitting out tonight as a “precaution” though and had played two games after tweaking his ankle, so read into that what you please. – 4:18 PM
Bobby Manning @RealBobManning
One commonality between #Celtics/#Kings, the #NBA‘s best offenses (and T12 all time), is taking open shots quickly.
“Something that we stressed a lot during our Finals run is the Celtics had great defense…so we wanted as best as we can to push the pace”

No change in the #Hornets injury report for tomorrow’s game in Boston. LaMelo, Gordon Hayward, Cody Martin and Dennis Smith Jr. are all out. No specific timetable for any of their returns, including Hayward. DSJ was still in a walking boot at practice today. – 12:40 PM
Bobby Manning @RealBobManning
When the #Celtics and #kings met on Friday, it was a chance for Malcolm Brogdon & Domantas Sabonis to reunite, unlikely #Pacers stars whose tenure there didn’t go as expected, but led them to big opportunities
For @BostonSportsBSJ: bostonsportsjournal.com/2022/11/25/nba…12:13 PM
Chris Miller @cmillsnbcs
Jayson Tatum is OUT vs. Wizards (left ankle sprain). Kyle Kuzma, Rui Hachimura, Monte Morris, Johnny Davis are listed as questionable. – 12:12 PM
