More national attention for Celtics (and Hornets): Charlotte at Boston on Tuesday, April 7 has been flexed to NBC/Peacock and will move to an 8 pm tipoff. (Minnesota at Indiana had originally been scheduled for that window.)

Stonehenge Spring Equinox Celebrations 🙏

The Sultan of Stat, still a bit groggy from St. Patrick's Day post-gaming, details the Celtics' 8-0 California sweep with the win over Golden State, Jaylen Brown moving into the franchise's top 10 scorers & more. @DickLipe also has room for an interesting Draymond Green note. ⬇️

@_garrettbell @roywoodjr Nah... Roy's a team guy. He'd play first base if his club asked.

This is @roywoodjr

Jaylen Brown goes for 19 points in the first quarter... Bam Adebayo turns on notifications. (OK, maybe not.)

Hilarious!

Fresh off yet another Oscar for Best Use of Statistical Effects (he thanked the Academy and his bartender), the Sultan of Stat checks in with noteage from the Celtics' victory over Phoenix. @DickLipe has details on Jaylen Brown's historic night and more. ⬇️

8:51 left in 3rd quarter. Neemias Queta is 2-2 from the floor, 1-1 from the line. Modest stuff... But he also has four assists in 17:32, showing more and more how he just "fits." ... Celtics lead Phoenix, 78-69.

Demi Moore and her Oscars dress ... Homer Simpson and the hedge. Who wore it better?

The Wizards came from down 30 to within striking distance. The Celtics realized, "Holy $@%!, we might lose." The Wizards realized, "Holy $@%!, we might win." The Sultan of Stat (@DickLipe) already hitting the sauce to celebrate Pi Day (3/14), had to rally. Order was restored.

@DavidPJablonski Hard not to get emotional when the prayers of so many are being answered... (Dave: if you run into Neil, tell him Marshall Tucker would be proud.)

Dayton AD Neil Sullivan, who has been on a medical leave of absence since Feb. 2, will attend the A-10 championship game today. I talked to him a few minutes ago and he provided this update on his status.

@roywoodjr Billy Beane: "You don't know how to play first base. Scott? It's not that hard, Scott. Tell him, Wash." Ron Washington: "It's incredibly hard." Classic Moneyball scene.

Quite possibly the single greatest baseball card of all time.

The Thunder didn't figure to have too much trouble with the road-tripping Celtics missing Jayson Tatum and Derrick White (and Nikola Vucevic). But the Bostonians seem to feed off underestimation. The Sultan of Stat (@DickLipe) details the closer-than-expected last-second loss.

I know Shaq honestly appreciated Paul Pierce's game, but I think there was a bit of an ancillary shot at Kobe when he pulled me aside in LA and essentially gave Pierce the "Truth" nickname.

@summacorp @nevadadot Most important addition to the Tropicana overpass area is, of course, In-N-Out Burger. ... These fine pictures look empty without it.

Interstate 15 reached Las Vegas, with its first major opening at the Tropicana overpass 60 years ago, March 11, 1966. "Now 4 ½ hours from L.A. to Las Vegas" Photo from @nevadadot. Gus Guiffre on the mic.

Certainly not casting aspersions on Bam's 83, but, taking all circumstances into account, one could easily be more impressed with Wembanyama's 39 v. Boston.

Incredible performances by DWhite, Wembanyama, Harper Jr., Tatum, Fox -but people will come away from Celtics-Spurs talking about Jaylen Brown's 2nd quarter ejection. The Sultan of Stat, @DickLipe, covers that and more, while muttering "Suyash Mehta" into his post-game cocktail.
