Jayson Tatum shares leg injury update after Celtics’ Game 6 loss
PHILADELPHIA — Jayson Tatum never checked back into the game after subbing out with four minutes to play in the third quarter in the Celtics’ 106-93 loss to the Philadelphia 76ers. He appeared to have ice and a wrap on his left calf on the bench, and was on the bike in the tunnel for […]

Tyrese Maxey and Paul George sliced up the Boston Celtics defense in the Philadelphia 76ers’ 106-93 win on Thursday night, sending the series to a decisive Game 7 back in Boston. The game will determine whether Boston or Philadelphia will move on to the Eastern Conference Semifinals to face the New York Knicks, who crushed […]

Derrick White focused on having fun through shooting struggles
PHILADELPHIA — Derrick White went through his usual extended shootaround routine on Thursday in Philadelphia. He practiced set shots, mid-rangers, floater and mixed in some high-arcing ones. White missed often, something he continues to struggle with into the late stages of the Celtics’ series against the 76ers, but he’s more focused on shaking the misses […]
How the 76ers exposed Celtics’ drop coverage
For the first time this season, the Celtics allowed their opponents an efficiency above 70% on both layups and floaters. This wasn’t caused by a high transition volume, but rather by a half-court defensive collapse. The Sixers posted a 1.19 points-per-possession efficiency in non-transition situations, their third-highest mark of the season. Only Washington and Chicago […]
Celtics, 76ers Game 6 injury reports: who’s in, who’s out
PHILADELPHIA — Both the Celtics and 76ers will be at full strength when they face one another for Game 6 on Thursday night.

Celtics own up to costly fourth-quarter implosion in Game 5: ‘Just not good enough’
BOSTON — The Boston Celtics saved their ugliest fourth quarter for the worst possible time, and it came at a steep price. Leading 3-1 and with a chance to close out their first-round series against the Philadelphia 76ers at TD Garden, the C’s collapsed — in near historic fashion. Boston missed its final 14 […]

Celtics played their worst basketball at the worst time. Can they respond?
BOSTON — To say that Tuesday’s Game 5 between the Celtics and 76ers was ugly is a massive understatement. The Celtics missed 14 consecutive field goals to close out the game, got outscored by 17 points in the fourth quarter, and watched their own fans file out with several minutes left in the ball game.

10 Takeaways from the Celtics Deflating Game 5 loss to 76ers
1. Abysmal 4th Quarter Going into the fourth quarter of Game 5, the Celtics allowed the 76ers to get back into the game, cutting a 13 point halftime lead to 1 point at 86-85. Boston would then go on to have one of the worst fourth quarters I have ever seen, being out scored 28-11 […]
“Magic” — Game 5 didn’t end how Celtics fans wanted, but they’ll be back
From my seat in press row at TD Garden, you can see the entire arena. The benches, the matchups, the way a possession starts to form before it fully develops. It’s a different way of watching the game, a little more removed than being down by the railing before tip, where everyone is leaning forward […]
Back to Philadelphia for Game 6, the Celtics have a Joel Embiid problem
BOSTON — Joel Embiid conquered his postseason demons on Tuesday night. He overcame the Boston Celtics at TD Garden in a do-or-die Game 5 to keep the Philadelphia 76ers alive to see another day. Down 3-1 following back-to-back Boston victories in Philadelphia, Embiid was ruled probable when Sixers coach Nick Nurse took to the podium […]

The Celtics just won the award they deserved most. Here’s how.
BOSTON – Before the season began, Jayson Tatum scoffed at the notion that the Celtics were going to tank the season. “It’s the way our organization is ran,” Tatum told ESPN’s Malika Andrews. “It’s the culture that we set, it’s the standard that we have — regardless of who is on our team.” Six months […]
The Celtics made Joel Embiid the target and Philly couldn’t avoid it
Attention to detail is one of Boston’s most overlooked strengths. There are plenty to choose from — volume three-point shooting, defensive connectivity, late-game composure. But it’s the precision and thoroughness of the minutiae that often sets them apart. Their preparation allows them to identify pressure points quickly, and then push on them until something breaks. […]
Boston’s 3-point shooting made Philly’s help defense look helpless
When the Celtics drilled an absurd 24 of their 53 3-point attempts during a blowout Game 4 win in Xfinity Mobile Arena Sunday night, I half expected the Twitter discourse to regain its steam. The Celtics are 3-point merchants! The Celtics don’t play fun basketball! Wrong, and wrong. On a night where Boston set a […]
Jordan Walsh has been the unsung hero of the Celtics’ playoff success so far
A sequence late in the first quarter of Game 4 illuminated how far Celtics wing Jordan Walsh has come and how much further he can go. On one end, Walsh fought around a Joel Embiid screen and drew an offensive foul. On the other, he spaced the floor perfectly and drilled a 3-pointer with no […]
What is Joe Mazzulla’s plan with his centers?
One of the biggest reasons people didn’t believe in the Celtics coming into the season was because of their centers and how little they had proven entering the season. As the season went on, it became clear that Neemias Queta is a quality starting center and that Luka Garza and trade deadline addition Nikola Vucevic […]
Four games into the playoffs, the Celtics are playing like they did in their first 82
Eighty-one seconds into the fourth quarter of Game 4, Jayson Tatum dribbled passed midcourt and with the help of a Neemias Queta screen, walked into a three-pointer. Kelly Oubre walked into his landing space for an and-1. With that, the lead ballooned to 30 points and statistically, it was proof positive of Boston’s priorities this […]

10 takeaways from Boston solving Embiid and the Sixers
#1 – What Embiid changed in offense With Joel Embiid back for the Sixers, the way Boston attacked was a little bit different, as the big man is the anchor of the defense. To start the game, they tried to stick to the hedge coverage they had used with Andre Drummond, but the lack of […]
