Merry Christmas everyone coming to late probably after your own Christmas is over

But one of our favorite days on the NBA calendar

I'm lest to talk about here

We're gonna start with the game of the day Boston and Philly another one that I think we could probably take the most from

This game is certainly okay seeing Houston falls into this category as well

It was a 121 114 victory the six was actually led by five in overtime

And then they scored the first five points of the overtime and then Boston won on a

13 to one run to seal it as the six are suddenly couldn't score and Boston was scoring every possession it

What do you take away in a macro sense for this one Danny?

Kai Rearving can get his own and in the key portions of this game

He was often guarded by Jimmy Butler who was a very talented one-on-one defender especially when he's engaged and

Kai Rearving can just get great baskets. I was reminded he had one crazy finish

I tweeted out Kai Rearving is monstrous after this it was the end of regulation and

It reminded me a lot of that game winner he had against the Warriors on Christmas

I think it was two years ago over Clay Thompson and he is the offensive

X factor for the Celtics and if they defend as well as they have overall this year

They need him obviously they need somebody to do that

But he can can solve so much what ailed them in the

2018 playoffs and remember in the 2018 playoffs

They still came pretty close to making the NBA finals. You know, it's funny the theory of the Celtics this year was that man

Jan Braun Jason Tatum these guys are a year old or not

They're gonna take a step forward to getting Gordon Hayward back
