The Hornets surge has the Celtics fingerprints all over it
When the Celtics and Hornets face off on Sunday night, it will be a match-up between two of the Eastern Conference’s hottest teams. And, in many ways, the two franchises are interconnected — both due to their personell and emerging styles of play. Earlier this month, ESPN analyst Jay Williams drew the connection himself: “They’re […]
Mandatory Minimums—The Week in Green
Jaylen Brown had some things to say about the NBA’s regular season awards on Wednesday.

Jordan Walsh provides spark in return to Celtics rotation
Jordan Walsh’s third season has been a bit of a roller coaster. He started the season as a distant idea, where youth and potential still held weight, but it was unclear if he could break through. That breakthrough did happen, and it led to a string of promising starts with consistent and meaningful playing time. […]
10 takeaways from the Celtics flipping the script vs Hawks

Jayson Tatum ‘thankful’ despite imperfect return to Celtics: ‘It is frustrating’
In his 10th game back with the Boston Celtics on Friday night, Jayson Tatum delivered his best performance of the season by dominating the second half against the Atlanta Hawks.

Jayson Tatum reveals why he decided to return this season rather than chase perfection
BOSTON — For months, whether Jayson Tatum was going to return to the court was one of the biggest questions in basketball.

Payton Pritchard, Jayson Tatum lead Celtics in 109-102 win over Hawks

If you’ve been watching the Celtics this year (you’re reading this on CelticsBlog so of course you’ve been watching), you’ve likely seen a moment that keeps happening, even if it didn’t really register the first time.

With the MLB season in full swing and the Boston Red Sox playing in their Opening Day against the Cincinnati Reds on Thursday, it brings me back to a story that has always fascinated me.
