A Boston Celtics Blog: 17 Banners and Counting
Don’t look now, but the Celtics have quietly won three straight, are above .500 for the first time and are firmly in the Eastern Conference playoff picture. It’s a long season, and one that will inevitably feature many ebbs and flows, but this version of the Celtics (8-7) appears to be one that’s fully capable […]
Hugo Gonzalez, the Boston Celtics first-round draft selection from this year, is in an interesting position. Being their sole rookie this year, the team is likely ready to invest heavily in his development. After all, he was a bit of a surprise selection on Draft Night, meaning the front office and coaches saw something that […]
BOSTON — For a moment, it looked like the Boston Celtics’ season would be totally inhibited by rebounding. Standing at his locker in Detroit in late October, Jaylen Brown shook his head when discussing the team’s mounting rebounding woes. In their previous two games — both losses — they were outrebounded by a combined 33 […]

NEW YORK — As quickly as Jordan Walsh became the revelation of this Celtics season, he slid aside to make room for a Josh Minott spark and Sam Hauser closing effort in the second half of the Celtics’ win over the Nets on Wednesday. Joe Mazzulla’s message to take each lineup and rotation with a […]
Since the beginning of the season, Joe Mazzulla has been preaching the importance of winning the turnover battle every game. It’s been an integral part of their identity this season given the difference in talent from the previous years, the margin for error becoming that much slimmer. The logic is simple: by limiting their own […]

1. Just Jaylen I don’t know what else there is to say when it comes to Jaylen Brown’s continued dominance as a scorer this season. After a slow first half Brown exploded for 17 points in the 3rd quarter, finishing with 29 points on 9-19 FG, 3-7 3PT, and 8-10 FT. He did have 8 […]
It took 15 games, but the Celtics, alas, finally climbed over the .500 hump with a 113-99 victory over the Nets on Tuesday night — and it all came down to the final 12 minutes of play. Boston fought tooth and nail with the Nets in Brooklyn. Both teams traded double-digit leads, navigated their respective […]
BROOKLYN — In a victory against the Los Angeles Clippers on Sunday, Sam Hauser played just 7 minutes. It was his first time logging single-digit minutes in a regular-season game since last February, and the benching came amid an abysmal shooting slump that has seen the 26-year-old make just 18.9% of his three-pointer attempts in […]
After logging his fewest minutes of the season (12), Anfernee Simons responded with one of his best overall performances of the season.

NEW YORK CITY — Throughout the first few weeks of the regular season, Jordan Walsh was racking up DNPs. But even throughout that time, Jaylen Brown continued to instill confidence in him. “We sit next to each other on the plane, so I talk to him all the time,” Brown said. “That’s what this team […]
The Maine Celtics are 5 games into the season, and several players have already stood out in the early days.

The Celtics got back to .500 with a narrow 121-118 win vs. James Harden and the Los Angeles Clippers. The return of marksman level shooting from Payton Pritchard and Derrick White certainly aided the Celtics beating their season average of 113.8 points per game, but I also thought they ran some nice sets to get their guys in position. Several sequences stood out to […]
