45 Hours, TD Garden, and the Time of My Life
Thanks to CelticsBlog, I had the pleasure of covering the final two games of the Boston Celtics’ regular season as credentialed media, making the journey from Tasmania, Australia. I won’t bore you with the details of the journey, but despite a 45-hour, door-to-door journey and some horrendous jet lag, I still had the time of […]
Meet the person behind the Celtics’ most emotional photos
If you flip through Jayson Tatum’s Instagram stories, you’ll notice that he routinely reposts photos from the Instagram page @eyeofbri. For most of the season, the Celtics star shared pictures of himself on the sidelines in his outfits, cheering on his teammates. Now that he is back on the court, his posts highlight his on-court […]
Who wants Boston? A Look at the Celtics’ Round 1 Options
The luxury of securing the 2-seed is a comfy view from the top. While the Boston Celtics spent the final weeks of the regular season fine-tuning rotations and monitoring their health, the lower tier of Eastern Conference playoff teams were in a chaotic sprint toward the finish line. The 5 through 10 seeds shuffled around […]

Inside the offseason conversation that changed my view of the Celtics: ‘We are still that team’
On a sunny August afternoon, I sat down with Payton Pritchard to discuss the reality that the upcoming Celtics season was being widely deemed a Gap Year. He laughed. “There’s only one mindset, always,” he told me then. “I’ve never been on any team in my life where the mindset wasn’t to try to compete […]

Exhibit-10 deals and NBA 2K: Inside the Celtics’ stunning Game 82 win
BOSTON — Technically, John Tonje has played in many a high-profile game at TD Garden. In a way, he’s actually been doing so for years. That’s because since he was a little kid in Nebraska, Tonje has set nearly all of his NBA 2K games at TD Garden, his favorite arena in the world. “I […]
Trade Rumors Rise from the Dead—The Week in Green
You’d think that after the season he’s having, Jaylen Brown would be relatively immune to rumors that put him on the trading block, yet as this week showed, there’s no end to them. I don’t know of any leading Celtic player over the last 40 years that has been more consistently shopped by fans and […]
10 takeaways as gritty Celtics outlast Magic to punctuate memorable regular season
It was fitting, in a sense, that no one gave the Celtics a chance entering Sunday’s regular-season finale. That’s how it was as soon as Jayson Tatum tore his Achilles. That’s how it was to start the season. That’s how it was after their 8-8 start. But each time, the Celtics simply shrugged their shoulders, […]
Celtics’ Baylor Scheierman found ‘internal confidence’ in galvanizing finale vs. Magic
BOSTON — Baylor Scheierman didn’t know what to expect entering Sunday night’s regular-season finale. The Boston Celtics, down eight players, rolled out a shorthanded rotation made up entirely of reserves against a fully healthy Orlando Magic team. “We were even joking in the locker room coming out for layup lines, looking at each other like, […]
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 […]
Celtics grab #2 seed in gap year and await winner of Magic-76ers
The East is set: After an unexpected win over the Magic in their Sunday regular season finale at TD Garden, the Celtics start the 2026 NBA Playoffs as the #2 seed in the Eastern Conference and are +550 at FanDuel to raise Banner 19. The Magic will now travel to Philadelphia to play in the […]
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. But as they’ve consistently shown over the years, the Celtics simply won’t accept defeat, regardless of who’s on the […]

‘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 […]
The Celtics could be without 7 key players vs Magic
BOSTON — The Celtics could be without most of their rotation when they face the Orlando Magic on Sunday. Jayson Tatum (right Achilles repair management), Jaylen Brown (left Achilles tendonitis), Derrick White (right knee contusion), and Neemias Queta (right toe sprain) are all out. Sam Hauser (low back spasm), Payton Pritchard (left foot plantar fasciitis), […]

BOSTON — The Celtics have signed Dalano Banton to a standard contract, Michael Scotto of HoopsHype first reported.

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 […]
Neemias Queta adds finishing touch to Most Improved Player campaign: ‘He deserves it’
Neemias Queta’s first season as a full-time starting center for the Boston Celtics has gone according to plan, as teammates have already begun rallying around his campaign for the NBA’s Most Improved Player award. In the third quarter of Friday night’s 144-118 win over the New Orleans Pelicans, he drew the loudest crowd reaction of […]
Pelicans vs. Celtics player grades: a record-tying performance from 3 clinches second-seed
After a gut-wrenching loss to the Knicks on Thursday, the Celtics turned Game #81 into a three-point exhibition, tying their own record for 29 triples in a game and beating the Pelicans 144-118. Jaylen Brown was efficient (but with too many turnovers), Nikola Vucevic stayed on track, Sam Hauser caught fire, and we got to […]
