It also encapsulated everything the Celtics are trying to establish themselves as, too. The 3-point shooting, the ability to contest any shot at the rim, and the relentless energy — those are givens from […]

Kevin Durant’s social media platform is usually utilized for trolling. Or humorously engaging in banter with fans, in a rather non-serious manner. Every now and then, Durant will be in his bag, however. Lately, Durant has been cooking. Well, somewhat. On New Year’s Eve, Durant took to Twitter (I don’t think I’ll ever call it […]

While the Eastern Conference seems wide open, it's much tougher to hold down a playoff spot in that conference than the Western Conference, where the cutoff is five points lower. That means while a team has to be 6-7 games over .500 at this point in the season to hold a wildcard spot in the East, a team can be .500 to three games over .500 to hold one in the West. That being said, some not so good teams in the West, who were seen as sellers and willing to have a fire sale to prepare for the fu...

Kings fans seem like they are a decent bunch. Mostly complementary of the Celtics and don't overly trash their own team (other than Eubanks and Westbrook). I always love hearing a lot of Celtics fans on the road. Must have felt good for Queta to be starting for the Celtics after being waived by the Kings. I feel bad for the fan who just misses winning. Wild stat that the Celtics haven't played on New Year's Day in Boston since 1956. My favorites are in...

It’s not that they look very much alike. Or come from the same continent or culture. Or were raised in the same basketball tradition. Or play the same position. Or arrived to the league with similar accomplishments. Cooper Flagg of the Dallas Mavericks and Luka Doncic of the Los Angeles Lakers are two very different […]

It’s been over three weeks since Jordan Walsh logged extended minutes for the Boston Celtics, a stretch unrelated to the illness that sidelined him on Dec. 22 or to his on-court performance. Celtics head coach Joe Mazzulla clarified that after Boston’s 120-106 win over the Sacramento Kings on Thursday night. Walsh made his 19th consecutive […]

LOS ANGELES — Watching the Lakers play against good teams this year is like watching a rerun of your favorite TV show where you know what’s going to happen.

It seems the league always needs a tanking scapegoat. It’s a practice as old as superstition, but it has changed. When the league flattened the lottery odds, […]

Well, if we’ve learned anything over the last two weeks, it’s that the Lakers absolutely do not have it. They have had different lineups, different rotations, different teams and different settings. In all but one — which barely counts since it is against the Kings — they not only lost, but did so in blowout […]
