SportsFilter: The Thursday Huddle:
A place to discuss the sports stories that aren't making news, share links that aren't quite front-page material, and diagram plays on your hand. Remember to count to five Mississippi before commenting in anger.
Even Ja Morant is incapable of reaching Level 7 at TD Garden with a stray elbow. Thus, he never came close to me. He can come close. The game itself was one of the better ones of the season. Al Horford might have used a banned substance containing waters from Ponce de Leon's Fountain of Youth before the game. There was one sequence where he was isolated down low with Morant trying to defend. It just wasn't a fair match; 6'1" cannot defend 6'9" in any game. The entire game looked like a month of highlight clips. It's the sort of thing that makes my season tickets worth the price.
Note: My seats are directly below the camera position used for the general full court view of the game. What you see in the video clip is what we see during the game.

The Boston Celtics have asked ticket holders such as Howard who sit high above courtside to consider not attending tonight's home game against Memphis in order to avoid being struck by a Ja Morant flying elbow.
Morant is traveling to Boston by train so that he doesn't interfere with the air traffic radar control systems at Logan airport.
