One of my favorite Uncle Remus stories—in part because it’s one with a lesson I’ve too often failed to apply—is the story of Br’er Rabbit and the tar baby. You see, Br’er Fox wants to catch Br’er Rabbit, and to do so, he makes this doll out of tar and turpentine, and puts some clothes […]
For most of the last two years, Payton Pritchard’s contract has been one of the easiest things on the Celtics’ books to celebrate. A four-year, $30 million deal signed in October 2023 for a guard who can shoot, handle the ball, push pace, scrap in the paint, bomb away from the logo and swing games […]
Math is hard. NBA math can be absolutely mind-dumbing even for “smart” people who write about the team. So when the cap experts talk, I like to listen. I was watching old friend Keith Smith discuss the Celtics options on the Celtics Beat podcast and keyed in on some of the things he mentioned about […]
Don’t waste youth with the young. There’s a natural reaction in the playoffs to shorten your rotation — you want to play your best players the most when it matters most.

Evolution is inevitable in just about everything, and sports are no exception. Sometimes you’ll get a Stephen Curry or a Victor Wembanyama, and it’s great. Other times, you’ll get a three-team format in the NBA All-Star Game that nobody understands, cares to understand, or has the tolerance to watch from start to finish while getting […]
When Jayson Tatum returned to TD Garden 298 days after rupturing his achilles tendon, the unprecedented return generated one of the loudest moments you’ll ever hear from the Garden faithful.

Jaylen Brown is skeptical about the NBA’s Social Justice Champion award, challenging the idea of honoring players for what he considers a basic responsibility. Brown, the NBPA Executive Committee’s Vice President since 2019, sees paying it forward as a moral obligation rather than a commendable chore. Each season, the NBA selects five players nominated for […]
Going into the 2025-26 NBA season, there were a ton of people saying that it was a gap year for the Boston Celtics. Luke Kornet, Jrue Holiday, Al Horford, and Kristaps Porzingis all left the team in the offseason and Jayson Tatum was expected to miss most of the season with a torn Achilles. This […]
Boston Celtics star Jaylen Brown is losing his patience with ESPN’s Stephen A. Smith. On Sunday night, Brown took to his FCHWPO Twitch channel to address Smith directly over comments the $100 million talking head made about Brown’s post-Game 7 livestream.

It’s always a bummer to have to be talking about the draft before the start of the conference finals, yet here we are looking ahead to the offseason for a second straight year. It’s not all bad though. For draft freaks like me, the final 2+ months before the draft are a wonderful time. I […]

Following a disappointing first-round playoff exit, the Boston Celtics now shift their attention toward a pivotal offseason and the upcoming NBA Draft, where they currently hold the 27th and 40th overall selections. Selecting near the back end of the first round, and in the early portion of the second, is familiar territory for the Celtics front office. Since 2023, the […]
