Sam Hauser needed a game like that
Entering Friday night’s Celtics game in Indiana, Sam Hauser had not shot the ball well this season. Averaging 6.9 points per game this season, his lowest since 2023, Hauser was shooting 36% from threem a career low. It had been a tough start to the year for Hauser. However, against the Pacers, he finally had […]

Boston traveled to Indiana for the second matchup this week with an opportunity to extend their winning streak to four straight.

Over the next six games, the team heads west for a five-game road trip against sub-.500 teams (Pacers, Trail Blazers, Jazz, Kings, and Clippers) and come home to host the Bulls.

The Celtics didn’t play on Christmas Day – but they still made their mark
BOSTON – For the first time since 2015, the Celtics didn’t get a Christmas Day game. In hindsight, that was an undeniable mistake – even without Jayson Tatum, they hold the Eastern Conference’s third-best record and the NBA’s sixth-best net rating, powered by an MVP-caliber season from Jaylen Brown. But the scheduling oversight didn’t prevent […]
High IQ plays of Week 9
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 […]
A casual fan’s guide to catching up with the Celtics at Christmas
I have a confession: I’m a casual fan. No, not of the Celtics, silly. I think 20 years of coverage qualifies me for “die-hard” status, but that’s just me. No, I’m a casual fan of the Bruins, Red Sox, and Patriots. It has been decades since I watched a Bruins game all the way through. […]

Unwrapping a gift from each member of the Celtics
As I watched the Celtics erase a 20-point deficit to outlast the Pacers 103-95 on Monday, I found myself constantly coming back to one central thought: Luka Garza sets one heck of a screen. I typically gravitate toward guards and find myself studying the tendencies of shooters rather than post players, but there’s something about […]

Trade ideas, Sam Hauser, and book recommendations (Mailbag answers)
I asked for mailbag questions and (as usual) you guys delivered! Here they are: TheJohnBagleyAllstars Can we get Rob back for both 2026 2nds? I wouldn’t mind bringing The Timelord back. He’s clearly a walking injury risk, but maybe that means he’d be less expensive to re-sign? He has an expiring $13M salary that we […]
Jaylen Brown found the line without crossing it
Every season, Jaylen Brown can be counted on to add or enhance a piece of his game. As he’s stepped into the full-time No. 1 option role, getting to the free throw line has been a massive factor behind his elite production. Foul drawing is a skill. There is the arm-hooking, foul-baiting variety that draws […]

Celtics comeback win sparked by two “really, really great” friends
BOSTON — On paper, Celtics forwards Baylor Scheierman and Hugo Gonzalez don’t have a ton in common. Scheierman is a 25-year-old from Nebraska; Gonzalez is a 19-year-old from Madrid. But the Celtics’ two most recent first-round draft picks have quickly formed a great friendship apparent to anyone who steps foot into the Celtics locker room […]

The bench unit of Anfernee Simons-Hugo Gonzalez-Sam Hauser-Baylor Scheierman-Luka Garza would come in and immediately […]
“It’s the NBA”: Joe Mazzulla used a 20-point Celtics deficit as a lesson in perspective
BOSTON — It only took an Andrew Nembhard free throw in the third quarter to push the Celtics into a 20-point deficit against the Pacers on Monday night — a spot that didn’t faze head coach Joe Mazzulla the slightest. “Being down 12 in the third quarter, I’m pretty comfortable with that because you see […]
Celtics complete 20-point comeback, beat Pacers 103-95
On a night when Jaylen Brown scored 31 points, it was Hugo Gonzalez who shined bright for the Celtics, playing nearly the entire second half. His energy was such a key in Boston’s comeback after they looked flat for the first half and the beginning of the 2nd half. Jordan Walsh joined Jayson Tatum on […]

BOSTON — Jaylen Brown will return from a one-game absence when the Celtics face the Indiana Pacers on Monday night. Brown, who missed Friday’s win against the Toronto Raptors with a non-COVID illness, has been on a tear as of late, averaging 32.4 points, 7.2 rebounds, and 6.5 assists in his last 10 games.

Luka Garza’s patience and grit have reinforced Joe Mazzulla’s “respect” for Celtics backup
It hasn’t been easy for first-year Celtics center Luka Garza this season, but the 26-year-old has found a silver lining on Boston’s bench as part of the Stay Ready crew. Garza, like most non-returning players from last season’s Celtics roster, didn’t have anything guaranteed when Boston signed him to a two-year, $5.5 million contract in […]
