Many years after passing on the opportunity to play for a team here in my ancestral homeland of Greece (did I mention I'm an idiot?), finally made it to Athens for the European Masters tournament.

A few from our Boston-based team stopped by the Acropolis. (I'm on the right.)

ESPN picks up Boston at Denver Wednesday (9:30 ET). Golden State at Dallas bumped from the national TV window.

Apparently the Celtics are gaining in interest stature from what was thought prior to the season.

The Celtics were down by 22 when their alarm went off in Toronto Wednesday night. The Sultan of Stat, @DickLipe, has the noteage from their comeback win, highlighting the late-game defense and overall paint protection.

It is said that holding onto anger is like drinking poison and expecting the other person to die.

They don't serve that libation at the Sultan of Stat's bar. So @DickLipe avoids the drama, offering a 6-pack from the Celtic rout in Philly that focuses more on PG than JB. ⬇️

It's easy, after the uneven start to his season, to focus on Mitchell Robinson's 6-6 shooting and 7 rebounds (4 on the offensive glass) in 18 minutes last night. ... But there was something more important and encouraging for the Celtics about his performance in Milwaukee. ⬇️
