Knights in the NBA: Ace Bailey Heats Up

Several former Rutgers basketball players have made their mark on the NBA this season. Dylan Harper has looked good coming off the bench for the San Antonio Spurs, while his brother, Ron Harper Jr, has contributed solid minutes to the Celtics when he was called up from the G-League. After taking some time to adjust […]

Hugo Gonzalez’s rookie chore has quickly become the Celtics’ new obsession

BOSTON — Hugo Gonzalez carries a game of Catan onto every team flight, as has frequently been chronicled on the Celtics’ social media accounts. But, don’t be fooled — the Celtics rookie is not a part of the team’s regular competitive Catan games. “I am the Catan hater,” Gonzalez said emphatically, sitting at his locker […]

NBA Rumors: Is LeBron James better off in Cleveland or Los Angeles?

The Los Angeles Lakers are in the middle of a nine-game winning streak. LeBron James, during this stretch, is thriving as the second-fiddle for the first time in his life. Transitioning into a play-finishing wing next to another ball-dominant star might be the final evolution of LBJ’s career. But would he be better suited to […]

Comments from the Other Side - Timberwolves 3/22/26

This was a disappointing loss.  The Celtics just allowed the Wolves to play more physical and harder and better defense than them.  I love how Wolves fans were wanting the Celtics players and coach in the beginning and hating on their own players and team.  Then, at the end  they are loving their players and coach.  Next game they will hate them all again.  Hopefully the Celtics can find their defense and energy for the next game.  My favorites are in bold.&n...

10 takeaways from a lackadaisical Celtics loss

#1 – Surviving thanks to Jaylen At half-time, Jaylen Brown had scored or assisted on 50% of the Celtics’ points. As the Timberwolves have one of the best rim protections in the league, Brown’s ability to be somewhat efficient from the mid-range is what got the offense going. The problem the Wolves sometimes have is […]

Jaylen Brown admits Celtics didn’t ‘meet the challenge’ in loss to Timberwolves

BOSTON — Riding a four-game winning streak and facing a Minnesota Timberwolves team without Anthony Edwards, the Boston Celtics had momentum on their side. But circumstances only meant so much in Sunday night’s 102-92 loss at TD Garden. In Edwards’ absence, the Celtics faced a challenge that Jaylen Brown admitted they failed to meet. “They […]

Timberwolves’ hot fourth quarter sinks Celtics, 102-92

The Boston Celtics hosted the Minnesota Timberwolves Sunday night in a nationally televised match up. Minnesota had not won a game in Boston for 25 years, and they obliterated the Celtics in the fourth quarter. Boston missed 12 straight shots to start the fourth quarter as they recorded their 24th loss on the season, 102-92. […]

Paul Pierce won’t stop advocating for Jaylen Brown and the Celtics

BOSTON — Paul Pierce is no stranger to winning at TD Garden. So, when the 10-time NBA All-Star and Celtics champion took the parquet for a three-point competition on Sunday afternoon, it felt just like the good ol’ days. Pierce competed in the Celtics’ first annual Causeway Classic three-point shooting competition, going up against former […]

Celtics, Timberwolves match-up missing big-time star

BOSTON — The Celtics will be without Nikola Vucevic for the 8th consecutive game when they face the Minnesota Timberwolves on Sunday night. Vucevic is expected to be re-evaluated in the next 1-2 weeks as he continues to recover. Jaylen Brown is probable to play as he deals with a left quad contusion. The rest […]

Seven Games In: A Jayson Tatum Progress Report

The Jayson Tatum return has been riveting. Every shot attempt, rebound, pass, and even high-five over these first seven games has been scrutinized. The overall early returns on the Tatum comeback have been sensational; however, his performance against the Memphis Grizzlies is a good reminder that he still has a way to go before he […]

Clutch Opportunities—The Week in Green

The Celtics went 4-0 since my last column, notching a solid win over the Warriors, and some uneven performances against the Wizards, Suns, and Grizzlies. The negative way of looking at this is that the C’s really shouldn’t have struggled against the Grizzlies (24-45), and probably shouldn’t have had such a hard time with the […]

Comments from the Other Side - Grizzlies 3/20/26

  This one had me worried for much of the game.  The Celtics were sleep walking for much of it.  Not hitting shots and not giving normal effort on defense.  Glad they finally woke up in the 4th. There weren't a lot of Grizzlies fans chatting in the forums for this one.  Seems like most have given up on the season.   I always love it when there are a lot of Celtics fans in away arenas.  Funny how some fans loved the halftime show and others thought it cri...

10 Takeaways from the Celtics Grit & Grind Win Over Grizzlies

1. Escaped the Trap Game Coming into this game, the Memphis Grizzlies had 10 players listed as OUT on the injury report and were running out guys on two-way deals and 10-day contracts against a mostly healthy Boston Celtics team only missing Nikola Vucevic. This has the recipe for a gold old fashioned Trap Game […]
