For the first time since he ruptured his Achilles tendon, Tatum is listed as questionable to appear in Friday’s game. Tatum, who was first injured in May in […]
Jaylen Brown was far from the only reason for the Boston Celtics’ blowout 29-point loss to the Charlotte Hornets in front of the home crowd on Wednesday night. The star shooting guard was one of only two Celtics to finish with a double-digit point total, with his 20 points finishing second only to Derrick White’s […]
BOSTON — Jaylen Brown wasn’t his sharpest Wednesday night against the Hornets. He missed four of his first six shots and four of his final six as the Celtics suffered a lopsided 118–89 defeat at TD Garden. “I take accountability,” Brown said. “I gotta be better at the rim and play with more energy.” Brown’s […]
The World Baseball Classic officially got underway last night with the first game in the Tokyo Dome that featured Chinese Taipei and Australia. There are a couple of lower-level Phillies prospects on Team Australia, but most of the names you would recognize won’t start official WBC play until tomorrow. Meanwhile, we still have plenty of […]
1. Lack of Effort Coming off a blowout win against the Milwaukee Bucks on Monday, the Celtics got a taste of their own medicine against the Charlotte Hornets, getting crushed 118-89. This game was a rough watch all the way around. It felt like the Hornets had a 20+ point lead in this game from […]
BOSTON — For the first time in two years, when Xavier Tillman took the TD Garden parquet for his pregame shooting, he wasn’t donning Celtics green. Instead, the 26-year-old forward wore Hornets blue, making his return to Boston for the first time since he was unexpectedly traded to the Charlotte Hornets last month. And, from […]

The Boston Celtics hosted the Charlotte Hornets for their first meeting of the season on Wednesday night at TD Garden. Boston was flat-footed to start the game, and they struggled all night to keep pace with the young Hornets. It was a tough shooting night for the home team throughout; they hit just 10 three-pointers […]
With Cooper Flagg making a return soon (he’s questionable against Orlando Thursday but seeing as they go to Boston Friday, I expect that’s when he comes back), we thought it time to ask the staff what game or games they’re looking forward to.

As the Celtics sweep through the final stretch of what’s been a magical season of career-best breakouts, I often think about a Media Day headline I wrote when expectations were in a significantly different state. The 2025-26 Celtics are one big Stay Ready squad. Ironically, “Stay Ready” isn’t the en vogue phrase of the 2025-26 […]
The 2025-2026 Boston Celtics have been defined by exceeding expectations, and no one on this Celtics roster, and maybe not in the entire league, has exceeded expectations more than Neemias Queta. There were plenty of reasons to be skeptical of the Celtics coming into the season; they would be relying on a roster comprised of […]

The SLC Dunk Staff and I were talking in our group chat recently and the topic of “The Process” came up. We were originally bashing the NBC/Peacock broadcast for airing a commercial that referred to the Boston Celtics and the Philadelphia 76ers as “two teams that never rebuild, they just reload.” Apart from the blatant […]

Despite being shorthanded without Jaylen Brown and Neemias Queta, the Boston Celtics marched into Milwaukee on the night of Giannis Antetokounmpo’s return and delivered a resounding statement, dismantling the Bucks in a dominant 108–81 triumph. The manner in which this roster continues to uphold the standard of Celtics basketball, regardless of who is available on any given night, serves […]
Celtics playing 5th game in 7 nights without 2 starters and getting in at 3:30 am and with the Bucks at full strength after getting their star back. The Celtics had every reason to accept this as a schedule loss but they were amazing. I'm not surprised to see all the Doc hate. I never liked him after he made a comment about not wanting to work on defense. in practice. I love how much Bucks fans envy the Celtics for having Brad Stevens and Joe Mazzulla. ...
Even with Giannis returning and the Boston Celtics being without Jaylen Brown, the Milwaukee Bucks dropped their third straight game, losing in ugly fashion, 108-81. It’s the second straight game that the Celtics have held the Bucks to 81 or fewer points, after Milwaukee scored 79 on February 1 in Boston. Read our full summary […]

But first, let’s focus on the Spurs, who have put together a strong season so far. When breaking down San […]

In his third career start, […]
Hugo González played only 13 minutes on Sunday night, less than 24 hours before Boston Celtics coach Joe Mazzulla needed the rookie to start. That didn’t matter, though. González logged his third career start, and his first since Jan. 10, with starters Jaylen Brown and Neemias Queta both sidelined on the second night of a […]
The return of Giannis wasn’t enough to propel the Milwaukee Bucks over the Boston Celtics (who were missing All-Star wing Jaylen Brown and starting center Neemias Queta), losing 108-91. It’s the third straight loss by 20 or more for the Bucks. Payton Pritchard led the Celtics with 25 points on 5/10 shooting from beyond the […]
