BOSTON — Charles Bassey has played for five different NBA teams since being drafted in 2021.

Since mid-March, he’s been with the Celtics; Bassey signed his first Ten-Day contract on March 15th, and his second […]

Fun game. Especially watching Payton Pritchard go off. How can you not love the guy? I love how he comes out of the trees with rebounds. I'm so glad he's a Celtic. Their descriptions of Baylor Scheierman cracked me up. Thunder fans had a couple of funny descriptions of him also. It cracks me up that everybody thinks the Celtics get so much help from the refs. If they did, they wouldn't be last in the league in free throws attempted. My favorites are in...
Jordan Walsh’s third season has been a bit of a roller coaster. He started the season as a distant idea, where youth and potential still held weight, but it was unclear if he could break through. That breakthrough did happen, and it led to a string of promising starts with consistent and meaningful playing time. […]

#1 – Early game trouble As it was highlighted by Gray Washburn in the press conference after the game, it’s rare for Joe Mazzulla to call multiple timeouts so early in the game.

In his 10th game back with the Boston Celtics on Friday night, Jayson Tatum delivered his best performance of the season by dominating the second half against the Atlanta Hawks. It wasn’t particularly efficient, at least not by his standards, and afterward, he admitted the process of building himself back up has brought a mix […]

Jayson Tatum set his season high in the Celtics 109-102 win over the Hawks on Friday night with 26 points. After a rough first half, Tatum really settled in during the 2nd half with 21 points and 5 rebounds on 6/13 from the field. However, it was Payton Pritchard who led team in scoring with […]

If you’ve been watching the Celtics this year (you’re reading this on CelticsBlog so of course you’ve been watching), you’ve likely seen a moment that keeps happening, even if it didn’t really register the first time.
