Every morning, we compile the links of the day and dump them here… highlighting the big story line. Because there’s nothing quite as satisfying as a good morning dump.
“You’re playing 10 straight games with teams that are playing for something,” Stevens told CSNNE.com prior to practice on Saturday. “You’re playing 10 straight games … every one of them is a team that’s either in the mix already (for the playoffs) or fighting to be in the mix. That should make it fun.”
“Fun” times await Boston beginning Sunday evening against ex-Celtics coach Doc Rivers and the Los Angeles Clippers (48-25) who come in as the NBA’s hottest team with a six-game winnings streak and wins in eight of their past 10.
After the Clippers, the Celtics’ remaining schedule includes the following:*At Charlotte on Monday
*Indiana on Wednesday
*Milwaukee on Friday
*At Toronto on Saturday
*At Detroit on April 8
*At Cleveland on April 10
*Cleveland on April 12
*Toronto on April 14
*At Milwaukee on April 15
CSNNE – Stevens: Celtics final 10-game playoff push will be ‘fun’
Hey Indiana look — Brad Stevens is having fun in the NBA!
The next two weeks may or may not look fun to you, but either way it’s go-time for the Celtics. 10 games left, none of which are against poor teams. The only potential letup would be if Cleveland rested starters on one of those two games in April. Aside from the talent of the teams set ahead, the only break longer than one day is the gap between Detroit and Cleveland. The last time the C’s have had more than a single day’s rest was during the All Star break. This team must be tired, but they continue to churn and stay afloat.
From here on out, every game will feel like a playoff atmosphere and that should benefit us in the future regardless of where the team is seeded come April 16th. Time to practice will be sparse but Brad will have the team watching film like they’re at Sundance. The games will be gritty, but this team is capable of providing enough grit to feed the entire south if they had to.
Last, some combination of Jonas Jerebko, Jae Crowder, Brandon Bass, and Gigi Datome won’t wear a Celtics uniform after this season, so let’s enjoy whatever run they help give us in the meantime.

TB12’s been living it up this week. Aside from playing pickup with MJ, he also posted a video of him jumping about 100 feet down into the bottom of a waterfall. I’m all set with that.
And last, thank you to all who showed up to our Red’s Army party!

Chuck’s last tweet referenced taking shots of Patron — I wonder if he’s seen his new Mike Tyson tribal tattoo yet.
