Jayson Tatum’s performance in the Celtic win in Chicago led the Sultan of Stat to put “historic night” in the subject line of his email.
And the Sultan isn’t easily impressed, because he’s, you know, the Sultan.

More on this storyline
If it’s not Valanciunas, Portland’s Robert Williams III stands as perhaps the most coveted center on this season’s trade market. He’s another player on the Lakers’ wishlist of bigs and renowned for his defensive presence. And because Williams is only in Year 3 of a four-year, $48 million deal, there’s been ongoing inbound interest for Portland to navigate despite Williams’ considerable injury history. Sources say that the Blazers, however, aren’t eager to part ways with Williams just yet. Portland has been bullish on Williams’ pick-and-roll partnership with the Blazers’ young guards since team officials, sources say, made acquiring Williams a priority as part of the return package for Jrue Holiday before the start of last season. If there’s any move coming in Portland’s crowded frontcourt — which also houses Deandre Ayton, Duop Reath, and recent No. 7 overall pick Donovan Clingan — it is not expected to come until much closer to the Feb. 6 deadline. -via marcstein.substack.com / December 19, 2024
Jack Simone: Jaylen Brown on teams leaving guys (like Jrue Holiday) open as a defensive strategy: “Teams got to do magic tricks, try to pull rabbits out of hats to try and beat us.” -via Bluesky / December 8, 2024
Tim Bontemps: Memphis left Jrue Holiday open repeatedly tonight, and he wound up going 4-for-17 from 3. Celtics coach Joe Mazzulla said it was a “bold” strategy for the Grizzlies to deploy, and said his message to Holiday was to keep shooting and that he was glad Boston saw that defense. -via Twitter @TimBontemps / December 7, 2024

Jayson Tatum logged a historic triple-double to help defeat the Bulls 123-98 in Chicago. Tatum’s phenomenal 43-point, 16-rebound, and 10-assist stat line marked the first such in Celtics history. The only other Celtic to notch a 40-point triple-double? Larry Bird, three times. Bird came close to achieving Tatum’s 16-rebound mark by logging 14 in two of his triple-doubles (1986 and 1992). -via Boston Globe / December 22, 2024
