The post Celtics Momentum + Will Warriors Trade Draymond Green? appeared first on CLNS Media.

Tatum has scored over 10,000 points throughout his NBA career. The 25-year-old star became the youngest player in franchise history to hit the 10,000-point milestone. Then, he netted 18 of his game-high 32 points in the second half, including nine in the final frame.

Jayson scored on back-to-back possessions down the stretch, helping the Celtics rebuild their double-digit lead en route to a 124-114 victory that extended their record to 5-0.

“It’s kind of hard to process in the moment,” Tatum said after Saturday’s win, reflecting on his 10,000-point milestone. “Huge accomplishment. Extremely blessed to be a part of such a great franchise, and I’ve been fortunate to be on some really good teams. I have some really, really good coaches. Obviously, I have some great teammates that have helped contribute to 10,000 points along the way.”

It’s been six years since the Celtics drafted Tatum. The seventh-year forward fittingly reached his milestone at the Barclays Center — the building where his NBA journey began.

“It definitely has gone by fast. I remember getting drafted in this building in 2017. So, time has gone by fast. Just trying to stay present. Stay in the moment, enjoy it,” Tatum said. “10,000 points sounds crazy to just think about. I always think about when I was a kid, growing up with my mom, and saying I wanted to be in the NBA. While I may have thought I would be one of the best players, and to actually do it is a surreal feeling. So, just kind of living out my dream.”

Less than two weeks into the regular season, Tatum’s been on a tear from the jump. Scoring 30+ points in four of the Celtics’ first five games, he’s averaging 30.2 points, shooting at a 55.0% clip from the floor, including 45.2% from behind the 3-point arc.

But the thought of playing for the Celtics wasn’t always ideal, Tatum revealed after Saturday’s win. As the league’s top 19-year-old prospect, he wasn’t sure Boston was the best destination to begin his NBA career.

“Man, I was ignorant when I got drafted,” Tatum said, reflecting on draft night 2017. “I didn’t even want to come because I didn’t think I was going to play. They had Gordon (Hayward), JB (Jaylen Brown), IT (Isaiah Thomas), and (Marcus) Smart, and I didn’t think I was good enough to be on that team. It didn’t even cross my mind how to close a game or how to finish. I was just more concerned about getting in the game and starting. But things happen for a reason, and I got my opportunity.”

Jayson has come a long way from that teenager who was drafted in Brooklyn.

“It’s been a long process,” Tatum added. “I’ve had to learn through the ups and downs. Through my mistakes. Late-game decisions, or whatever it may be, just growing pains. (You) Play in enough games to play in enough playoff series. You learn those things.”

Tatum’s game has evolved in one form or another year after year from a statistical standpoint. And, as a leader who constantly holds himself and others accountable, he’s taken his game to new heights of late — which hasn’t gone unnoticed by Celtics head coach Joe Mazzulla.

“He shows up to work every single day. He puts the work in. He dedicates his life to it,” Mazzulla said after the win. “He doesn’t miss days, he doesn’t miss practices, games. And just his open-mindedness in wanting to be coached, wanting to be held to a high standard. When you have guys like that that you can coach, you see what you get out of him, and it also allows you to bring the best out of everybody. He’s one of the guys that sets the tone… I’m really proud of him, and I know he’s not going to stop.”

The Celtics (5-0) have the best record of the young NBA season. They’re the only undefeated left in the association after the Denver Nuggets gave up their undefeated status in last Wednesday’s 110-89 loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves, who the Celtics face on Monday at Minnesota.

The post Celtics Impressive Start: Better Than Expected? appeared first on CLNS Media.

On the second night of a back-to-back to start the preseason schedule, head coach Joe Mazzulla sat all five members of Sunday’s starting lineup in New York, along with Jrue Holiday, who was first off the bench in Sunday’s win against the 76ers. This opened up meaningful playing time for Mykhailiuk, who is using his five years of NBA experience as an edge to help secure a spot on this year’s Celtics team and was one of the first players off Mazzulla’s bench midway through the first quarter at Madison Square Garden.

After receiving a DNP-CD in Boston, Mykhailiuk’s 15 points on 5-of-9 attempts, including 3-for-7 from beyond the 3-point arc, led the second unit. He also finished with three rebounds and one assist in 25 minutes.

“It was just great to get out there and compete… As for me, I’ve been in the league. This is my sixth year. So, I feel like everyone runs mostly the same stuff, just different names, so it’s not that hard,” Mykhailiuk said about acclimating to Mazzulla’s system. “I just come in here to learn it, get it (early), and try to learn all the plays. All the guys, how they play, and just adjust to that.”

Mykhailiuk signed a one-year, partially guaranteed deal with the Celtics in late August. He started the 2022-23 campaign with the Knicks before he was traded to the Charlotte Hornets, where he averaged 10.6 points while shooting at a 40.1% clip from 3 to go with his 2.4 rebounds and 2.7 assists in 19 games.

Svi showed flashes of his playmaking ability against the Knicks. He finished with one assist but made the right passes early and often that kept the offense flowing and New York’s defense on its heels during particular stretches of the Celtics’ 114-107 loss. Mykhailiuk also finished strong at the rim.

Payton Pritchard (21) led the Celtics in scoring for the second straight night, and Dalano Banton added 20 on 8-of-19 shooting.

“There’s just situational stuff regardless that you can learn from,” Mazzulla said after Monday’s loss. “So, I love the effort, and I love our mindset, I love our physicality. There’s a lot of really good situational possessions that we could learn from.”

Joining his seventh team in his sixth year in the NBA, Mykhailiuk was reportedly considering a deal to play overseas for Greece’s Panathinaikos Athens before Boston’s one-year offer came across the table. With three games left in the preseason, Svi should be granted a chance to showcase his skillset alongside the Celtics’ regulars when Boston travels to Philadelphia for a preseason rematch against the Sixers on Wednesday.

Mykhailiuk has evoked enough intrigue for Mazzulla to tinker with upcoming in-game lineups incorporating the 26-year-old journeyman, who was drafted by the Los Angeles Lakers with the 47th overall pick in the second round of the 2018 Draft, to gauge his fit with everyday rotational players. That’s when we’ll get a clearer picture of how he fares with Boston’s core players.

“It comes down to; can you build trust, and the first way to build trust is by playing hard, by paying attention, and knowing what you’re doing,” Mazzulla said. “Everybody top to bottom has done that, thus far. They’ve played hard, they’ve paid attention. The mistakes we’ve made are not because we’re not working hard; and they’re just mistakes that we learn from. So, I think that’s the first evaluation. Can we trust you, put you in a situation to execute a possession with physicality and IQ?”

Svi, a career 36% 3-point shooter, eclipsed 40% (42.4%) from deep last season — which piqued the Celtics’ intrigue after losing Grant Williams in free agency. But gaining the head coach’s confidence is the next step for Mykhailiuk to make the team, and he still has plenty of opportunities to do so.
