The latest set of notes you need to see from Dick Lipe -- the Dave Cowens of hoop mathematicians:

As Josh Hart goes to line to complete 3-pt play and give NY a 99-69 lead at :47 of 3rd quarter, Mazzulla pulls his starters. Some fans boo, others yell, 'Leave 'em in,' as if to punish them.

No doubt, game meant nothing to C's, but crowd wanted more for its entertainment dollar.

Celtics trail New York, 52-45, with 5:21 left in 2nd quarter. Knicks have 14-2 edge in second-chance points. Would seem to be an issue. #analytics

Keeping track of the Frozen Four on the laptop screen during Celtics-Knicks. ... Tough way for BU Men's Hockey to go out in OT.

Fair amount of New Yorkers from local colleges here at TD Garden tonight, evident from the reaction to Knick buckets.

Assuming their rotation is intact, can the Celtics' playoff fate essentially come down to this one simple question?

Should cement his candidacy for one of the Celts' 'Heroes Among Us' honors.

Maine-Long Island East final game on the two TVs (ESPNU) in Celtics' locker room after win over Portland.

Time of game: 1 hour, 51 minutes.

And that's without a pitch clock.

With Maine having a playoff game tonight, Luke Kornet warming up for Celtics-Blazers in his old G-League jersey.

A first for Xavier Tillman Sr., an out of sorts night for Sam Hauser (but in good company), the Celtics' fourth-best start ever, how well the C's eat when Al Horford cooks a little -- and more.
