Heat should consider this route if struggles continue toward deadline

After an encouraging 14-7 start during arguably the toughest part of their schedule, the Miami Heat have hit a roadblock. They are losers of eight of their last nine, despite encouraging performances from Kel’el Ware, Kasparas Jakucionis (versus Celtics) and Jaime Jaquez Jr., among others, over that span. Teams begin to separate themselves after 25-30 […] The post Heat should consider this route if struggles continue toward deadline appeared first on Hot Hot Hoops - Miami HEAT NBA Blog .

The Celtics didn’t play on Christmas Day – but they still made their mark 

BOSTON – For the first time since 2015, the Celtics didn’t get a Christmas Day game. In hindsight, that was an undeniable mistake – even without Jayson Tatum, they hold the Eastern Conference’s third-best record and the NBA’s sixth-best net rating, powered by an MVP-caliber season from Jaylen Brown.  But the scheduling oversight didn’t prevent […]

A casual fan’s guide to catching up with the Celtics at Christmas

I have a confession: I’m a casual fan. No, not of the Celtics, silly. I think 20 years of coverage qualifies me for “die-hard” status, but that’s just me. No, I’m a casual fan of the Bruins, Red Sox, and Patriots. It has been decades since I watched a Bruins game all the way through. […]

Unwrapping a gift from each member of the Celtics

As I watched the Celtics erase a 20-point deficit to outlast the Pacers 103-95 on Monday, I found myself constantly coming back to one central thought: Luka Garza sets one heck of a screen. I typically gravitate toward guards and find myself studying the tendencies of shooters rather than post players, but there’s something about […]

Trade ideas, Sam Hauser, and book recommendations (Mailbag answers)

I asked for mailbag questions and (as usual) you guys delivered! Here they are: TheJohnBagleyAllstars Can we get Rob back for both 2026 2nds? I wouldn’t mind bringing The Timelord back. He’s clearly a walking injury risk, but maybe that means he’d be less expensive to re-sign? He has an expiring $13M salary that we […]

Roman Anthony, man about town

Roman Anthony was recently spotted at a Celtics game, which is awesome. It’s always fun to see Patriots, Celtics, and Bruins players show up at Fenway on Opening Day, especially after a World Series. Or David Ortiz at anything. Just seeing Big Papi showing up somewhere makes it that much more interesting. So as this […]

Jaylen Brown found the line without crossing it

Every season, Jaylen Brown can be counted on to add or enhance a piece of his game. As he’s stepped into the full-time No. 1 option role, getting to the free throw line has been a massive factor behind his elite production. Foul drawing is a skill. There is the arm-hooking, foul-baiting variety that draws […]

Celtics comeback win sparked by two “really, really great” friends

BOSTON — On paper, Celtics forwards Baylor Scheierman and Hugo Gonzalez don’t have a ton in common. Scheierman is a 25-year-old from Nebraska; Gonzalez is a 19-year-old from Madrid. But the Celtics’ two most recent first-round draft picks have quickly formed a great friendship apparent to anyone who steps foot into the Celtics locker room […]
