With Eight Players Out, Joe Mazzulla Made a Final Statement for Coach of the Year
On a night no one thought the Celtics would win — at the end of a season many believed they couldn’t contend —Joe Mazzulla made one final statement for his Coach of the Year candidacy. The final Celtics injury report for Sunday’s game against the Orlando Magic listed eight Celtics players out. Notably, their top […]
Magic vs. Celtics player grades: with seven rotation players out, Garza and Scheierman shine in potential first round matchup
Is it possible that the most fun game of the regular season is the finale when seven — SEVEN — rotation players are unavailable and there’s nothing to play for? Yes. Yes, it is. Baylor Scheierman led all scorers with 30 points with Ron Harper Jr. and Luka Garza having career games with 27 to […]

Baylor Scheierman, Ron Harper Jr., Luka Garza power plucky Celtics past Magic, 113-108, in thrilling regular-season finale
With the No. 2 seed cemented, and the vast majority of their rotation players sidelined Sunday night, it would have been easy for the Celtics to roll over and wave the white flag against the Magic.

‘To us, they are heroes’: Celtics trio draws massive crowd in Boston
BOSTON — The line of green stretched down the street. Fans — young and old — stood in the April sun for hours, awaiting the arrival of the guests of honor. Some Celtics fans were local, of course. But most traveled from all over to arrive at I Love Boston Sports, a small store at […]
SB Nation Reacts: Jordan Walsh is the Celtics playoff x-factor
If the Celtics season were represented by one player, it would be Jordan Walsh. As CelticsBlog’s Noa Dalzell writes: One hallmark characteristic of this Celtics season has been that as soon as it appears Joe Mazzulla has a solidified rotation, things change. That latest change? Jordan Walsh is back. Over the past 7 games, Walsh […]

10 takeaways from the Celtics’ three-point avalanche
#1 – Magnet ball Shooting in basketball carries a big share of variance and luck. Even the greatest shooter of all time, Stephen Curry, is below 50% from beyond the arc on wide-open attempts. This means you’d still have a better chance to win a coin-flip game than to see Curry knock down a three […]
Nikola Vucevic Is Starting to Find His Footing
Nikola Vucevic has begun to string together strong performances after his initial struggles coming back from a broken ring finger. While Friday’s game against the Pelicans lacked the intensity of the Celtics’ previous game against the New York Knicks, it was still a useful setting for the veteran center to build rhythm and chemistry with […]

In Jayson Tatum’s return to MSG, it was a mixed bag, but a step forward
Jayson Tatum wasn’t exactly looking forward to stepping foot on the floor of Madison Square Garden Thursday night. And why would he? 333 days ago, he suffered the most traumatic injury of his basketball-playing career on the same night he delivered one of his finest playoff performances. “I thought about it. I’m not, like, thrilled […]

Last night, the Knicks scored 122.5 points per 100 possessions in half-court situations. And the worst defensive stretch happened six minutes before the final buzzer, when the Knicks decided to hunt […]
For Jayson Tatum, Thursday was much more than just basketball
NEW YORK CITY — Jayson Tatum made the choice to not bite his tongue a long time ago. At the Celtics’ shootaround on Thursday morning, when he was asked about the emotions of playing at Madison Square Garden for the very first time since his injury, the Celtics star opted to be completely candid. “Nervousness, […]
Baylor Scheierman ready to answer any call for Celtics despite playoff uncertainty
Baylor Scheierman’s sixth 3-pointer against the New York Knicks on Thursday night brought the entire Boston Celtics bench to its feet. Jordan Walsh did the sharpshooter’s signature thumbs-up celebration, and Luka Garza bunny-hopped with excitement, watching him conquer Madison Square Garden.

Celtics vs. Knicks player grades: Vucevic, Scheierman sharpen tools in loss
A lot has to happen to get a bucket in the NBA. The right screen creates just enough space to free up the ball. A pass has to be on the money for a player to get a shot off. And even if everything goes right, it’s still a make-or-miss league where a 50% success […]
Knicks down Celtics in wild finish, 112-106
The Boston Celtics traveled to New York to play the Knickerbockers for their 79th game of the season. Boston needed just a single win to secure a second place birth in the Eastern Conference playoffs.
