Game of runs: Celtics ability to score in bunches has been special
There is an old saying that says “basketball is a game of runs.” These runs can swing momentum of a game for one team and end the hopes of the opponent. My mind jumps to the Golden State Warriors dynasty of the late 2010’s where they used passing to find a wide open shooter on […]

BOSTON — The Celtics will be without Jaylen Brown and Neemias Queta when they face the Milwaukee Bucks on Monday night.

For the Bucks, meanwhile, Giannis Antetokounmpo will make his return from a calf injury that’s […]
‘It’s formulated’: Jaylen Brown on Celtics identity
BOSTON — Jaylen Brown was arguably the loudest Celtics fan in the building. Whether on the floor or watching from the bench, he was the first to celebrate his teammates during their 114-98 win over the Sixers on Sunday night at TD Garden. “Tonight was a team win,” Brown said. “Everybody did their part, and […]
10 takeaways as Neemias Queta powers Celtics past 76ers
Late in the fourth quarter Sunday, with the Celtics one knockout blow away from finishing the 76ers, it was fitting that Neemias Queta provided the final punch. A man among boys on this particular night, Queta wrestled the ball away from VJ Edgecombe, finished through contact and screamed to fire up the TD Garden crowd […]
Second Episode of Jayson Tatum Documentary
Episode 2 of Jayson Tatum’s documentary ‘The Quiet Work’ was run before the 76ers vs. Celtics game on NBC’s Sunday Night Basketball. Tatum then posted the video on his YouTube channel and it explores his and his doctor’s perspective on getting surgery immediately the next day after his injury. At the end of Episode 1, […]
Neemias Queta is just scratching the surface of his potential
BOSTON — “MVP! MVP! MVP!” The chants echoed across TD Garden as the Celtics inched toward a win over the Philadelphia 76ers. Normally, that chant is reserved for Jayson Tatum, the Celtics’ perennial MVP candidate. This year, Jaylen Brown has received his fair share of MVP cheers en route to a career season that’s already […]
Queta’s big night fuels Celtics win over 76ers, 114-98
The Boston Celtics hosted the 76ers Sunday night in their final clash of the regular season. Boston’s first game of March resulted in their 40th win of the season, 114-98. Neemias Queta had a monster outing for the home team, with a 27-point, 17-rebound double-double performance. Jaylen Brown had 27 points, Derrick White chipped in […]

BOSTON — Baylor Scheierman will play through a left thumb fracture he suffered in Friday’s Celtics win against the Brooklyn Nets. Scheierman suffered the injury in a collision with Nets guard Egor Demin. “I just ran into him,” Scheierman said. “He was running the other way. I thought he was going to just chase after […]
Question Marks: Can Boston even the season series against the Sixers?
After one of the most efficient offensive performances in NBA history on Friday against Brooklyn, Boston is in a groove with five wins in its last six. The Sixers arrive without their anchor, Joel Embiid, while whispers of Jayson Tatum’s return will have to wait. The spotlight points back at Jaylen Brown and Tyrese Maxey, […]

Jayson Tatum, Not the 40/20 Rule, Will Decide the Celtics’ Championship Fate
After the Boston Celtics’ recent loss to the Denver Nuggets, this year’s Celtics team no longer qualifies for Phil Jackson’s benchmark for true championship contenders. According to Jackson, hitting the magical mark of securing 40 wins before 20 losses ensures you are among the league’s elite. The 2025-2026 Celtics are 39-20 after their win against […]

It’s Always Good to Beat LA — The Week in Green
It’s always good to beat LA. Always. And it’s always good to beat LeBron James. And it’s great that LeBron joined the Lakers in order to make victories all the sweeter. For me, I sometimes wonder what LeBron thinks of Boston in his heart of hearts. He’s far too savvy to say anything out loud […]
10 Takeaways from the Celtics commanding victory over the Nets
1. Dominant Shooting Display Coming off of Boston’s lowest scoring output of the season against the Denver Nuggets at only 84 points, the Celtics came back home to TD Garden and set a new season-high in points with 148 against the Brooklyn Nets. Boston did this with some historic shooting, going 52-78 (67%) from the […]
Nikola Vučević is producing — while searching for “balance” with the Celtics
During Nikola Vučević’s Boston Celtics debut, both sides struggled. Three weeks ago marked the beginning of Vučević’s acclimation, and since then, his synergy has begun to take shape. It was a stark contrast on Friday night against the Brooklyn Nets. Vučević’s offensive instincts kicked in, and decisively; he wasn’t hesitant. He was constantly in motion, […]

What NBA players are “more name than game” at this point? (daily topic)
This topic is a little random, but I was somewhat inspired by various podcasts and articles that talk about players that aren’t what they used to be or haven’t lived up to our expectations. I don’t know if he’s the first to come up with this, but a common phrase that Keith Smith likes to […]

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.

We’ve reached late February, meaning there’s a big enough sample size in front of us that it’s worth taking […]
