The Celtics are building an army of Derrick Whites

From the moment Derrick White joined the Celtics, there hasn’t been a more seamless fit alongside Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown. You could see it in his debut, when his first two plays created a layup and a dunk for the Jays. Right away, it was clear he’d fill the gaps and support Boston’s stars. […]

Luka Garza shares story that perfectly captures the Celtics season

HYDE PARK — A whole lot changed for the Celtics after the midseason trade deadline. It’s well-known that the team lost four players: Anfernee Simons, Xavier Tillman, Josh Minott, and Chris Boucher. But some of the players who weren’t traded saw their situations directly impacted, too.’ Luka Garza is one such example. Garza, who joined […]

Celtics, Warriors matchup will be lacking several key stars

The Celtics will face an extremely shorthanded Golden State Warriors team on Wednesday night at TD Garden. Nikola Vucevic will miss his sixth straight game as he recovers from a right fing finger fracture he suffered last month, but the rest of the Celtics are available.

Comments from the Other Side - Suns 3/16/26

 I love when opposing fans give credit to our players, especially White and Pritchard.  I love the description of the Celtics as a gym rat lunch pail  lineup.  It's funny that everyone thinks the Celtics get so much help from the refs but the Celtics are last in the league in free throws attempted.  Suns fans can't quite decide whether they like Booker or not.  My favorites are in bold.  What are yours?   Neemias was awsome last game on paper he is ...

Celtics vs. Suns: a possession battle, two different paths

The Celtics and the Suns met last night, and beyond the game itself, it was a good snapshot of how both teams have evolved over the past year. Not long ago, neither team was particularly effective on the offensive glass. Boston finished 18th in offensive rebound rate last season, Phoenix 26th. This year, both are […]

I sat down with Jaylen Brown in July. On Monday, his words rang true.

BOSTON — Jaylen Brown always knew he could do this. In July, on the last day of his annual educational camp for Boston youth — the Bridge program — I spoke with the Celtics star. The team had just lost Kristaps Porzingis and Jrue Holiday to trades and Al Horford and Luke Kornet to free […]

10 takeaways from a back-and-forth battle with the Suns

#1 – Call your team, the Jay’s are back Slowly but surely, the synergy between Jaylen Brown and Jayson Tatum is coming back. There hasn’t been a big highlight with an alley-oop yet, but some plays are showing that they can both be so impactful together. This pick-and-roll manipulation from Tatum with Luka Garza’s screen […]

Jaylen Brown outduels Devin Booker as Celtics edge Suns, 120-112

Jaylen Brown looked every bit the part of an MVP candidate Monday night at TD Garden. With the crowd chanting “MVP” as he repeatedly marched to the free-throw line, Brown poured in 41 points to lead the Boston Celtics past the Phoenix Suns 120–112 in a back-and-forth affair. Devin Booker answered with 40 of his […]

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

Shortly after the Boston Celtics took care of the Washington Wizards in a 111-100 victory, Shams Charania of ESPN announced that Boston will be signing Max Shulga to a standard two-year contract. Shulga was previously on a two-way contract that he signed with the Celtics after they selected him 57th overall in the 2025 Draft […]
