The Celtics just signed two new players, and here’s why 

The Celtics are signing Dalano Banton and John Tonje to Ten-Day contracts, upping their total number of rostered players to 14.  And, if both of those names sound familiar, it’s because they are.  John Tonje was recently added to the Celtics’ roster on a two-way contract with Boston after being acquired ahead of the trade […]

Former Celtics guard is returning to Boston

The Celtics have signed Dalano Banton to a ten-day contract, HoopsHype’s Michael Scotto first reported. Banton returns to Boston after spending most of the past two years with the Portland Trail Blazers. He was initially on the Celtics team that won the NBA title in 2024, but he was traded to Portland ahead of the […]

Previewing the Celtics four game west coast swing

The Celtics have a treat coming out of All-Star break: a four-game west coast swing that includes games at the Warriors, Lakers, Suns and Nuggets and a back-to-back. Boston is set to face four teams that if the playoffs started today, would all be participating. They all present different issues. The Warriors will be without […]

‘I’m better than a lot of guys, if not all of them’ Cavs wing Jaylon Tyson has bigger goals than the Rising Stars Game

Jaylon Tyson doesn’t lack any confidence. That’s something fans of the Cleveland Cavaliers have quickly learned during the course of his sophomore breakout. When asked about his experiences in the recent Rising Stars Game, Tyson once again reminded us of how confident he is. “It was cool sharing the court with those guys,” Tyson said. […]

NBA front office rankings are out; where are the Rockets?

Earlier this week, CBS released their post trade deadline NBA front office rankings. To nobody’s surprise, the Oklahoma City Thunder came in at first, but what was surprising to me is that only one other team (Boston Celtics) ranked above the Houston Rockets, which means that they’re the second-highest-ranked front office in the Western Conference, […]

Jayson Tatum is the difference maker the Celtics need

It certainly seems like Jayson Tatum is going to play basketball for the Boston Celtics at some point this season. There has been no date set yet for a return and Tatum has not said he is going to play this season. Yet, all the signs point to a Tatum return and it could be […]

Former Celtics champion’s injury status in question in Warriors game

SAN FRANCISCO — When the Celtics face the Warriors on Thursday, Al Horford and Kristaps Porzingis could both face the Celtics for the very first time since their respective tenures in Boston ended last summer. Porzingis is questionable to play against the Celtics as he continues to deal with a left Achilles tendon injury, while […]

Cavs vs. Nets: How to watch, odds, and injury report

The Cleveland Cavaliers have one of the easiest schedules in the league after the All-Star break, but they have a tough stretch to start things off. They play five games in seven nights, and they take on the Oklahoma City Thunder, New York Knicks, Detroit Pistons (twice), and the Boston Celtics over the next two-and-a-half […]

What are your thoughts on the NBC Sports Boston crew? (daily topic)

Cheers to commentor 1130PAR for suggesting this topic. Keep ‘em coming! We Celtics fanatics consume a ridiculous volume of Boston Celtics content and the large majority of the game coverage is fed to us by NBC Sports Boston as the Regional Sports Network for the team. So much so that they become like part of […]

James Harden shouldn’t need your validation, but still does

James Harden is a walking paradox. The newest Cleveland Cavaliers star is a man who’s inarguably changed how basketball is played — especially by those at the top of the game. He has birthed an entire generation of players who put their own spin on the heliocentric, perfectly spaced, three-outcome offense he pioneered. Jayson Tatum, […]

Mea culpa: I severely underestimated these Celtics

Back in October, before this NBA season began, did you perhaps open up a sports betting app on your phone and wager on how many wins the Boston Celtics would achieve? Did you say they would win at least 48? Maybe 50? More than 50? If so, then the odds are good that you’re about […]

Just three games with the Celtics and Nikola Vučević is making some noise

Nikola Vučević has played three games with Boston and, so far, he’s been exactly as advertised. The Montenegrin big man is averaging 13.7 points and 9.7 rebounds while shooting 48.5% from the floor and better than 41% from three. As a proven veteran, you generally know what you’re getting from Vučević — steady scoring, strong […]

Magic and Bird helped save the NBA, but Doc and Moses did their part, too

It is NBA gospel to believe that Larry Bird and Magic Johnson, shining stars as they were in the East (and West), enabled the league to rise into the firmament, to become the Goliath it has since become. Upon their arrival in 1979, they polished pro basketball’s profile, burying its sordid, drug-addled past and paving the way for […]

Jaylen Brown loves these Celtics — and he’ll shout it from the rooftops

LOS ANGELES — Last week, Jaylen Brown shared an Instagram story that highlighted the Celtics’ record this year compared to last year. The graphic, created by NBC Sports Boston, compared the 2024-2025 Celtics’ and the 2025-2026 Celtics’ record, net, offensive, and defensive ratings at the All-Star break, ultimately demonstrating how, remarkably, both teams’ on-court success […]
