?Bobby Krivitsky?: Payton Pritchard reiterates that he has no issue with coming off the bench. He said his conversation about it with Joe Mazzulla was “real simple.” “It just makes the most sense for our team.” ??: @nbcsceltics.bsky.social
Grant Afseth: Final: Celtics 110, Mavericks 100 Cooper Flagg: 36 PTS, 9 REB, 6 AST Daniel Gafford: 10 PTS, 12 REB, 2 BLK Caleb Martin: 13 PTS, 6 REB, 3 AST Jaylen Brown: 33 PTS, 11 REB, 3 AST Payton Pritchard: 26 PTS, 7 AST, 4 REB Dallas (19-31) hosts San Antonio on Thursday.
The Celtics were coming off of a tough loss at the hands to the Atlanta Hawks and needed a bounce back. They found it on Friday night, with a wire to wire 112-93 win over the Kings. It was Payton Pritchard’s night as he scored 29 points while dishing out 8 assists.
Bobby Manning on Celtics’ untouchables: Everybody else beyond Brown and Tatum is under discussion at this point Cyro Asseo: If you had to say somebody that if people were buying a jersey, whose jersey would you be fine buying knowing that they're going to be around for the next foreseeable future? Bobby Manning: I feel pretty good about Jaylen Brown after the season that he's had here where he's shown signs of being one of the best players in the league. And so with his contract situation, with he and Jayson Tatum having the amicable relationship that they do here, being willing to make it work with each other for the sake of winning and their commitment to him ultimately, they've had a lot of opportunities to break that duo up in more dire circumstances than this and they've held firm. And I know Brad Stevens obviously in a different cap environment, but throughout his tenure and even his coaching days leading both of those guys into the players that they become here, his vision for this team has been that if we have those two guys, we can figure it out around them and make this roster work. And that's why they signed them to the contracts that they did. It's why that they've accepted that they're going to have a balance when it comes to the top of this roster and this two stars. And then beyond that, like they're going to try to compliment them as best as they can. And Derrick White's been a big part of that. I don't think White's untouchable into the future. I think he's a guy that you do have discussions about given how valuable he is and where he's at in his career pushing 30. Same deal with Payton Pritchard and Sam Hauser and others down the line. I think everybody else beyond Jaylen and Jayson is under discussion at this point as you try to reshape this core into the future here.

Jorge Sierra: The most random players will receive All-Star votes from their peers each year. Some actual good NBA players finish without a single endorsement from fellow players. There were the best each season.

Q. Payton Pritchard, before the season, it was really no secret. Everybody said Jayson Tatum is out. What are the Celtics going to look like? You all are solidly third in the East. You have Jaylen Brown playing out of his mind. I just don't know if it feels good to have proved everybody wrong about what this team could do. Payton Pritchard: It definitely feels good, but I feel like there's still more steps to take. We can grow a lot more and keep getting better and better. I don't think we're sitting here like, "Oh, we're third. We're celebrating." We're used to being first and winning championships. It's like nothing new. We're trying to reach the be the number one seed and work our way to being in that conversation for a championship again. So that's the main objective.
John Karalis: The Celtics have listed Payton Pritchard as questionable for tonight with a right neck spasm.
