The Maine Celtics have been on a roll. They’ve won 5 straight games and are slowly climbing up the Eastern Conference standings, while seeing standout performances from players like Amari Williams and Ron Harper Jr. But the key to success for Phil Pressey’s squad has been that the standard of competition remains, regardless of who […]

We’re back! Welcome to the five highest-IQ plays of the week! Sure, we love the high-flying dunks and the deep, off-the-dribble step-back threes, but this is a place for the under-the-radar plays that might not get the credit they deserve. The plays that get the basketball sickos and nerds out of their chairs. The plays […]
Before Luka Garza ever logged a minute in a Celtics jersey, he told us exactly what he was going to do. In new environments, words are currency, and selflessness is always the safest investment whether the speaker means it or not. So, when he spoke in his first after practice interview as a Celtic and said, “My number one […]
MIAMI — The Boston Celtics and Miami Heat are set to face off for the second time this season on Thursday night. And, both Eastern Conference rivals should be mostly healthy when they meet, though several injuries loom on both sides. For the Celtics, Jaylen Brown (low back spasms) and Sam Hauser (hamstring tightness) are […]
MIAMI — If you’ve been following the Celtics, you’ve been hearing a lot of talk about the officiating as of late. On Monday, the NBA fined Jaylen Brown $35,000 for his public criticism of officials after the Celtics’ loss to the San Antonio Spurs. The Celtics star was livid after his team attempted just 4 […]

It’s no secret that the Celtics are looking to trade for a starting-caliber center, being linked to names such as Ivica Zubac, Daniel Gafford, and even a reunion with Robert Williams III. However, a new name has become the topic of conversion from a team that Boston has made a big trade with in the […]
The Celtics record this season is 24-15 with an 8-12 record in clutch time games. In other words, they have been bad in games within 5 points with five minutes or less — why is that? In clutch minutes this season, the Celtics are 15th in offense (scoring 110.2 points per 100 possessions), 28th in […]

1. Ugly Game The Celtics were without Jaylen Brown and you could really tell. Boston had a tough time getting anything going consistently on offense and Indiana was not much better. However, the Celtics still had a chance to win this game late in the fourth quarter despite some cold shooting. Derrick White tied the […]
Boston Celtics head coach Joe Mazzulla had one thing on his mind following Monday night’s 98-96 loss to the Indiana Pacers: the officiating crew. That was the only topic Mazzulla cared to address postgame, and he boiled every answer down to the same two words. “Illegal screen,” Mazzulla told reporters, per NBC Sports Boston. Mazzulla […]

It’s not a gap year for the Celtics and it’s not a gap year for us either. We’re looking for paid contributors in a couple of key areas: 1) daily coverage that includes game recaps, breaking news, etc., 2) the new CBA and salary cap structure, and 3) longform pieces that could include breaking down […]
Just a few weeks back, Anfernee Simons’ fit felt clunky. His efficiency was solid, but it hadn’t translated into consistently impactful minutes. Lately, he’s begun to settle into a clearer niche, and the Celtics’ offense is humming. The issue wasn’t Simons’ ability to score, but the process was off and in some ways his style […]
The Celtics are not the first team to guard San Antonio’s Victor Wembanyama small, yet the mere concept is an experiment in star-stopping that is equal parts fascinating, and a little crazy. There is no right way to guard a 7-foot-4 three-level scorer, and if there was nobody has unraveled the mystery, but on Saturday […]
The Celtics could be without Jaylen Brown when they begin a four-game road trip against the Indiana Pacers on Monday night. Brown is listed as doubtful to play due to low back spasm after playing 43 minutes — and the entire second half — in Saturday’s 100-95 loss to the San Antonio Spurs. If he […]

BOSTON — Baylor Scheierman only knows one way: to play with an edge. To blow kisses after made baskets. To talk trash. He just hasn’t always had the opportunity to show it. But, on Saturday, with the Celtics hosting the San Antonio Spurs in a primetime matchup between two of the NBA’s top teams, Scheierman […]
#1 – Can’t get to the line if you don’t attack the rim Let’s get the referee topic out of the way before we dig in. The Celtics’ low number of free throws last night, and overall this season, isn’t caused by a conspiracy against Boston. Free-throw volume is highly correlated with rim pressure. However, […]
BOSTON — San Antonio Spurs star Victor Wembanyama was a 7-foot-4 problem the Boston Celtics couldn’t solve, no matter the adjustment. “He’s really good at what he does,” Derrick White admitted after Boston’s 100-95 loss. “Just the way he protects the paint and still can get out to the corner is special. You have to […]
