Paul George absolutely LOVES playing in Boston ☘️ “I've been kind of blown away. I think it's exceeded my expectations since being in Boston.” “I can't talk enough about just the thrill and the happiness and excitement and joy that it has brought being here.” - Q: @zm_cox

Paul George on his hot start with the Celtics: “I’m a little bit better with more usage. That’s no knock to my opportunities here with Philly. Quite frankly, I wasn’t healthy to take on the workload I feel I’m at my best at. Here in Boston, they gave me an opportunity to be myself.”

Paul George mentioned the camaraderie has been his favorite thing about the Celtics, so asked Payton Pritchard about that: “It starts from the top, and you got to give credit to Brad. He picks really good people to be a part of it, and it’s not just about basketball. It’s the type of person they are. They’re hardworking. They’re good locker room guys and stuff like that. So we have a great group, and everybody enjoys being around each other. So that makes a difference. You want to see the next man win. We want to see PG kill. We want to see JT go off. It really matters. So everybody’s gonna have their nights, and we love to see it.”

New details on the Boston Celtics and Jaylen Brown trade saga, per @krisrhim1 - Jaylen Brown was on a monthlong vacation that spanned China, Africa and Europe when he learned that the Celtics had tried to trade him to the Bucks for Giannis Antetokounmpo - JB let the Celtics know that despite the failed trade he was willing to remain in Boston, but the team informed him he would be dealt anyway - As the Celtics continued to explore the trade market for Brown after the failed Antetokounmpo trade, Brown asked to have a say in where he was sent or at minimum be given a heads-up on the destination. But he learned he'd be going to the Sixers only after the deal was finalized (espn.com/nba/story/_/id/5040…)

Interesting perspective from George on the reception he expects in Philadelphia tonight: "Not sure. In some ways, I helped land them a future piece. So with that, I'm not sure how the reception will be." "Was there 2 years. Obviously, we didn't have the best of luck. We had a great partnership. In terms of my ability to stay on the floor, that played into a lot of it. Obviously, it's a tremendous fan base, a great sports town to play in. That was appreciated. No will from me. It'll be fun to compete. Outside of that, just a normal game."

Tonight, the American people sent a clear message — they want a politics that brings people together rather than divides them, and leaders who offer concrete solutions to the challenges they face. These results were only possible because outstanding candidates stepped forward in every region of the country — including in areas once considered long shots. They came from different backgrounds and represented a range of political perspectives, but were united by shared values, a belief in public service, and a commitment to putting the people of their districts and states first. We also owe a debt of gratitude to the thousands of election officials and volunteers from both parties who helped ensure a smooth election and carried out one of the most essential functions of our democracy. While this administration has another two years in office, our job now is to roll up our sleeves, make changes wherever we have the power to do so, prevent further damage, and lay the groundwork for the future.

With his 8th point tonight against the Bulls, Payton Pritchard moved past Isaiah Thomas on the TD Garden all-time scoring list…with 24 tonight and 5:40 left, he’s now 62 points from Avery Bradley and the top ten.

The Boston Celtics have picked up the 2027-28 rookie scale team options for Hugo Gonzalez and Baylor Scheierman, a league source told @spotrac. This is the third-year option for Gonzalez and the fourth-year option for Scheierman.

Joe Mazzulla on Paul George: “His impact goes beyond what’s happening on the offensive end. I think his impact in the locker room, his coachability, his open-mindedness, his humility, his willingness to do whatever it takes, taking care of his body to be on the floor for us, his communication in the film room. Defensively, his ball-pressure, his activity, his deflections… And then you get to the offensive piece and he just has the ability to score within the flow of the offense… He wants to be better. He wants to do more. He wants to get better there. I think you're seeing you're seeing that, and I think you'll continue to see that from him.”
