congrats to the official coach
The Celtics announced that they have officially named Joe Mazzulla their head coach. He had been working with an interim tag all season after replacing Ime Udoka days before training camp. At 42-17, Mazzulla has the Celtics in first place entering the All-Star break.— Jay King (@ByJayKing) February 16, 2023

nekias on white
Among the 161 players to defend at least 300 pick-and-rolls, only Desmond Bane (0.22%) has been washed out by a screen at a lower rate than White has (0.26%), per Second Spectrum.
Put another way: Of the 760 screens that have been set on White, only 20 (!) of them have taken him out of the play.

Jaylen Brown and Jayson Tatum have each scored 30 points in the same game 9 times this season, including tonight's win over the Pacers.Over the last 30 years, the only duo to record more such games in a season is Kobe Bryant and Shaquille O'Neal (10 in 2000-01, 12 in 2002-03). pic.twitter.com/NIFY7pbXXX— ESPN Stats & Info (@ESPNStatsInfo) February 24, 2023

any game where marcus smart & derrick white are doing marcus smart & derrick white stuff while also making three pointers is prob the most aggravating backcourt in the NBA
