NBA expansion now has a timeline – what it could mean for the Celtics roster

If you thought NBA expansion had become a never-ending rumor cycle, the latest reporting suggests the league may finally be ready to move forward.  According to ESPN’s Shams Charania, the National Basketball Association Board of Governors will vote later this month to begin exploring expansion to Seattle and Las Vegas, with the league targeting the […]

The Celtics have a secret weapon: ‘One of the greatest humans in the world’

BOSTON – During every single timeout, Joe Mazzulla and four Celtics’ assistant coaches huddle up on the court. In the center is former NBA star Sam Cassell, one of the team’s most veteran (and vocal) sideline presences.  There’s Matt Reynolds, the franchise’s longest-tenured assistant — and the coach most responsible for determining when the team […]

Open Thread: How the the rest of the NBA views Wemby

Recently, Jaylen Brown referred to himself as the best two-way player in the game. But he added a caveat when considering Victor Wembanyama in the league. “That boy Wemby is a problem, a big problem. When I say I’m the best two-way player in the league, it’s not counting Wemby. Like, Wemby don’t count. He’s […]

Comments from the Other Side - Wizards 3/14/26

  It was good that the Celtics built that 30 point lead or they might have lost it the way they were playing in the 4th quarter.  Maybe we can chalk it up to the first game at home after a very tough road trip.  They have to play better against the Suns or they may get beat.  Every time we face a team like the Wizards I think of how lucky the Celtics are to have Brad and Joe at the helm.  My favorites are in bold.  What are yours?   Big enough gap betwee...

Celtics convert two-way player to standard deal

This installment asks the guys what day they […]

10 takeaways from the Celtics dominating the Wizards inside

So the Celtics just went for the paint and made sure they put pressure on the Wizards’ defensive frontcourt. Overall, by the end, the Celtics created 19 more possessions […]

Wizards Drop 11th Straight, Despite Celtics Poor Shooting Night

Here’s where the Wizards are at this point: losing by 11 to the Boston Celtics feels almost like an achievement. Most of the relative narrowness of that margin was due to Boston bricking open and wide-open threes they normally make, some working out of kinks related to Jayson Tatum’s return to the lineup, and probably […]

Joe Mazzulla doesn’t want Jayson Tatum’s impact on the Celtics misrepresented

Saturday night marked Jayson Tatum’s fourth game back since returning from a ruptured right Achilles tendon. His transition from five-on-five team scrimmages to rejoining the Boston Celtics’ starting lineup was swift, and coach Joe Mazzulla hopes that doesn’t get taken for granted. Coming back from a nearly 10-month recovery isn’t something that produces immediate results […]

Wizards at Celtics final score: Washington loses, 111-100

The Washington Wizards traveled to Boston to face the Celtics on Saturday in the final game of a three-game road trip.
