Chalk this one up to missing 2 starters and playing back to back on the road. Although, Jaylen Brown seemed to be trying too hard and too often drove into a crowd of defenders instead of passing out. He had good numbers but wasn't efficient at all. So many of the Celtics shots were short. Tired legs. On to the next. My favorites are in bold. What are yours? Tatum out. Brown available. Calling a hawks win. This will be a W Gonna bet th...
Jayson Tatum and Derrick White have each been nominated for an end-of-season award. Tatum was one of 12 finalists for the Twyman-Stokes Teammate of the Year award, while Derrick White was one of 6 finalists for the NBA’s Sportsmanship Award. The league announced both nominations on Tuesday afternoon. The Teammate of the Year honor recognizes […]
The Boston Celtics sit at 50-25 with 7 games remaining in the regular season. Not too bad for a “Gap year” right Jaylen? Note this conclusion I wrote in the linked article above: Unless something very weird and wonderful occurs next season, we won’t be raising Banner #19. But there’s enough interest and intrigue to […]
Tonight, the Knicks (48*-27) visit the Rockets (45-29) at the Toyota Center. New York has clinched a playoff berth, but need to get through a challenging slate in order to keep their third slot—or catch the 50-win Celtics. Houston is one of five over-.500 teams standing between the Knicks and the finish line. The Texans […]
The Celtics fell to the Hawks on Monday night, 119–109, in a game that felt competitive for long stretches before slipping away in the second half. Playing short-handed on the second night of a back-to-back, Boston leaned heavily on its depth, getting strong contributions from Luka Garza and the second unit while hanging around into […]
Boston Celtics guard Jaylen Brown considered his performance in Monday night’s 112-102 loss to the Atlanta Hawks substandard at best. “That was probably one of my worst games of the season, in my opinion,” Brown told reporters, per CLNS Media. Brown rejoined the Celtics after sitting out two straight games with left Achilles tendinitis. He […]
Blame the back-to-back games on the road. Blame the 15 turnovers. Blame the eight missed free throws. They all played a part in Boston’s 112-102 loss in Atlanta Monday night. Despite all the ways that the Celtics shot themselves in the foot, there’s still a chance that Atlanta and Boston could meet in the first […]
ATLANTA — The Celtics aren’t looking for moral victories after losses. That’s been their mindset all season, and that was their mindset on Monday night, after they fell to the Atlanta Hawks 112-102. But, from an onlooker’s perspective, Monday’s loss did come with one fairly significant moral victory: Luka Garza is becoming an important (and […]
The Atlanta Hawks tied the season series 2-2 in their final game against the Boston Celtics with a 112-102 Monday-night win at the State Farm Arena, continuing the team’s 13-game winning streak at home.

How tired will Boston be? The Celtics took the short trip from Charlotte, North Carolina to Atlanta to take on the Hawks on the second night of a back-to-back. After handling the surging Hornets, 114-99, Boston now turns its attention back to an Atlanta team it faced Friday at TD Garden. Back-to-backs are always tricky. […]
ATLANTA — The Celtics will once again be shorthanded when they face the Atlanta Hawks on Monday night on the second night of a back-to-back. Jayson Tatum (right Achilles repair management) will be sidelined after exploding for 32 points and 8 assists on Sunday against the Charlotte Hornets. And Nikola Vucevic remains out with a […]
Great game! It seems like Celtics play better when players are missing and they are the underdog. I loved seeing Tatum getting back to his old self. Also love when there are lots of Celtics fans on the road. The guy who wishes Achilles tears on the Tatum needs some counseling. Not good. I agree that the Celtics don't have bandwagon fans but not for their reasons. Most Celtics fans that I know and have met have been fans for many many years. ...
The Charlotte Hornets had a rough weekend. They went cold shooting in the second half against the 76ers, and it didn’t get any better the next day against the Celtics. Fortunately, they got some help from their competition, so the two losses don’t hurt them as much as they otherwise could have. We took our […] The post Hornets playoff watch for the final two weeks of the season first appeared on At The Hive .
The Hawks have surged to a 16-3 record since the All-Star break and 12 straight wins in a row at home. That streak will be put to test tonight against the Boston Celtics as they look to salvage a 2-2 season split against the rivals up north. But elsewhere, there are other positive developments. Let’s […]
1. Jayson Tatum is Unbelievable In his 11th game back from a torn Achilles, Jayson Tatum dropped a season-high 32 points with 8 assists, 5 rebounds and 0 turnovers on 12-23 shooting from the field and 5-10 from three. He also scored his 14,000th career NBA Point in this game, becoming the youngest player in […]
Ten months ago, the Boston Celtics faced a murky future. Jayson Tatum’s ruptured Achilles and looming payroll cuts cast doubt on how the team would weather the storm. In Sunday night’s 114-99 win over the Charlotte Hornets, the franchise officially returned to business as usual. Boston secured its 50th win of the season and clinched […]
In the moments just before tipoff against the Charlotte Hornets, with a crowd heavy on Duke fans not yet experiencing the pains of March Madness heartbreak, Jayson Tatum flexed his bicep and pointed to the stands. The crowd erupted, and that wouldn’t be the only time on Sunday night. In his best scoring performance since […]
Without Derrick White and Jaylen Brown, Boston went into the Spectrum Center and beat Charlotte 114-99 in Jayson Tatum’s first 30-plus game of the year and 28 points from Payton Pritchard.
