It was looking a bit dicey at the end of the third quarter in Boston, playing the Celtics, but a quick 5-0 run all by Torrey Craig in 1.1 seconds was precisely the spurt of energy that propelled the Denver Nuggets the rest of the way to clinching a nine-point win, a sweep of the season series, and most importantly: a playoff berth. The first one in six years.
Monday night was a special one at the TD Garden, where Boston Celtics fans weren’t worried about how the team played or the result of the game. Instead, they honored a man who poured his heart and soul into the city of Boston.
That man, Isaiah Thomas, made his first appearance at the TD Garden for the first time since being dealt in the Kyrie Irving trade nearly a year and a half ago. The Celtics played his tribute video for him during the first TV timeout, earning a standing ovation from everyone in the Garden and a few tears from Thomas himself.
It wasn’t a matter of if the Celtics would honor Isaiah, it was a matter of when. And when was established at the first TV timeout in the first quarter, when the Celtics honored Thomas on the jumbotron for the entirety of the timeout.
Two-time All-Star Isaiah Thomas has shown no shortage of love to the city of Boston since being traded to the
The Celtics are coming off a solid 2-1 week, they looked great in two of the three games. They played with a lack of effort on the defensive end and didn’t move the ball well in the game they lost. Due to their sloppy play, they got blown out by the LA Clippers.
The Boston Celtics are coming off a great winning week, in which they went 3-0. Gordon Hayward showed some great signs so far on the team’s West coast trip.
The Boston Celtics are coming off a very disappointing week. They went 1-3, they defeated the struggling Washington Wizards and lost to the Houston Rockets, Toronto Raptors and Portland Trailblazers. They are all high-level teams, but they were very disappointing performances from the C’s end.
The entire month of February was an ugly one for the Boston Celtics. Things didn’t get any better last night.

The Boston Celtics are coming off a horrendous and tough week, going 0-2. They lost to Milwaukee by 1 on the road, Kyrie missed a contested shot in a tough loss. The unexpected loss came against the Bulls in which they lost by 10 points, they sit at the #5 spot in the East. Very horrendous lost for the C’s.
With temperatures getting warmer, days getting longer, and All-Star weekend behind us, attention can start to shift towards the Holy Grail of the NBA campaign, the playoffs. This year’s regular season has been wildly entertaining, and the upcoming free agency is set to be the most dramatic in recent memory, but the time between mid-April and mid-June will always be the most exciting period in the basketball calendar. To steal the NBA’s favorite slogan, the postseason is why we watch.
The Celtics finished last week off going undefeated. They defeated the Philadelphia 76ers and Detroit Pistons. They finished the week going 2-0 right before All-Star break, a great way to end it.
