Payton Pritchard isn’t discouraged by his shooting slump. Instead, he’s finding a new “bread and butter”
Payton Pritchard hasn’t quite looked like himself lately, and that’s OK. The reigning NBA Sixth Man of the Year, poised to make his latest career leap with increased responsibility as one of the top-3 premier scorers in the 2025-26 Celtics lineup, hasn’t been able to rely on his greatest offensive strength: his 3-point shot. Pritchard […]

The unsung hero of the Celtics’ fourth win was getting DNPs last week
BOSTON — It’s been an up-and-down start to the season for the Boston Celtics so far, who dropped their first three games of the season and entered Tuesday night riding another two-game losing streak. But, against the Washington Wizards, they righted the ship, earning a 136-107 win after a monster second quarter turned a 12-point […]
Celtics get back in the win column with 136-107 blowout of Wizards
In the Celtics five losses this season, there’s been one statistical anomaly that’s buried their effort. On Opening Night, fouls and three-point defense led to a one-point loss to Philly. Twenty-one offensive rebounds fueled the Knicks at Madison Square Garden. The defensive glass was again a problem vs. the Pistons. The Rockets hit 65.5% of […]

High IQ plays of Week 2
Okay, let’s try this again. 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 psychos and nerds out of […]

Is this the best version of Jaylen Brown?
At the end of last season, Jaylen Brown was battling a torn meniscus. That is no longer a problem this year and Brown has been playing his best basketball eight games into this season. To this point in the season, Brown is averaging a career high 26.8 points on a career high 52% shooting percentage. […]
Josh Minott’s special afternoon only furthered his love for Boston

Are the Celtics just chucking threes or missing open shots?
The Boston Celtics dropped to 3–5 last night after a tough 105–103 home loss to the Utah Jazz. It was one of the uglier performances in recent memory, though Jaylen Brown’s 36-point effort nearly salvaged the night. Even in a win, that kind of performance would’ve sparked some tough questions, but after Jusuf Nurkic’s putback […]

After sharing a seat next to Mazzulla for a season, he has intimate knowledge of how Mazzulla ticks. Hardy laughed at first at the question and complemented Boston’s spacing and decision-making around […]
“We have to be better”: Rebounding woes haunt Celtics (again) in loss to Jazz
Just when it seemed the Celtics were finding ways to work around their rebounding woes, Monday night’s matchup against the Jazz reminded them it’s still a work in progress. It was easy (and understandable) to chalk up Saturday night’s blowout loss to the Rockets as a “scheduled loss.” Houston had the size advantage, Boston was […]
