At the quarter-pole of the NBA season, the Celtics are not only the best offensive team in league history.
The gap between them and the ’21 Nets is now larger than the gap between the ’21 Nets and the ’21 Hawks…18th on the all-time list. pic.twitter.com/kc79w3c6s0 – 11:06 PM

Kevin Durant & Paolo Banchero caught up postgame. Tonight was a big moment for Banchero, a Seattle kid who had seen KD play at a Seattle pro-am.
“It’s a full circle moment.”
Banchero still sees KD as a Sonic.

Jerry Seinfeld, star of SeinfeldVision, is courtside tonight in Brooklyn at Nets-Magic. Wonder if he and Durant have neighboring summer homes on Grenyarnia. – 7:07 PM

So it’ll be a starting lineup of Franz Wagner, Gary Harris, Caleb Houstan, Paolo Banchero and Bol Bol vs. the Brooklyn Nets.
Caleb’s first NBA start.
First time the aforementioned lineup will be on the floor together, according to the data on the league’s official website. – 7:04 PM

Jacque Vaughn said they’re going to keep an eye on Seth Curry’s minutes tonight, but it isn’t a hard count. Will be asking him throughout the game how he’s feeling. It’s Curry’s first back-to-back of the year. – 5:48 PM
