Celtics overcame 76ers — and more importantly, reinforced their “mindset” to start NBA Cup bid
The Celtics conquered two forces on Friday night: the 76ers and the chaos that ensued in the second half of Boston’s first NBA Cup matchup. With consecutive wins in their back pocket, the underdog Celtics carried their momentum to the City of Brotherly Love, this time laying it all on the line on the most […]
Celtics find comfort in chaos vs. 76ers and recover from 0-3 start
PHILADELPHIA — Nightmares from the Celtics’ Opening Night loss to the 76ers returned as Philadelphia erased more than half of Boston’s 24-point second quarter lead before halftime. The Celtics committed three and-one fouls, turned the ball over and allowed the Sixers to race past them in transition in moments eerily reminiscent of their first loss. […]
Celtics start march to NBA Cup with 109-108 win over 76ers
First win: check. First home win: check. First NBA Cup win: check.

Jaylen Brown continued his strong start to the 2025-2026 season with 32 points […]

Celtics’ slow start has fans re-evaluating expectations
The preseason seems like a long time ago now, doesn’t it? Except that we’re only just over a week into the NBA season. Things didn’t go as well as Celtics fans might have hoped, with the team dropping their first 3 games before winning the next two. So for this week’s survey, I figured I’d […]
Celtics Film Round-Up: Weeks 1 & 2
Hey, all. Come on in. Kick your feet up and get comfortable. I’m glad you could make it. It’s time for the first edition of a recurring series where I’ll break down what I’m seeing on Celtics film. That can range from new tactics to performances I enjoyed to, well, anything I want to include. […]
Parquet plays: 3-on-2s and 2-on-1s lead to 29 assists and 21 threes in win over Cavaliers
We can often get caught up in basketball terminology and the complicated intricacies of the Celtics offense. We’ve also oversimplified it, called it Mazzulla Ball, and said it was just about shooting threes. “Find the 2-on-1. Make the right play versus the 2-on-1. It’s that simple,” Mazzulla frustratingly told former CelticsBlogger Jack Simone during the […]
Celtics pick up third-year option for Baylor Scheierman

Scheierman, the 30th pick in the 2024 Draft, will be owed a salary of $2.74 million next year. By exercising the team option, the Celtics retain a young prospect for cheap, paving […]

Celtics have developed a new facilitator
In the Boston Celtics season opener, they lost a heartbreaker to the Philadelphia 76ers, a one-point loss in which Payton Pritchard wasn’t able to convert on either of the two game-winning shot attempts he had. Payton obviously wasn’t happy with the end result, not only for missing the shots, but also for not finding one […]
Jaylen Brown Sets the Tone Against the Cavs
The Celtics secured their first signature win of the 2025–26 season on Wednesday night against the Cleveland Cavaliers. While there’s plenty of credit to go around, the victory was driven by the Celtics’ leader, Jaylen Brown. Brown delivered another superstar performance, adding to what has already been a strong start to his 2025–26 campaign. Wins […]
10 takeaways as Celtics overcome Cavaliers
#1 – Continuity or convenience? For the second straight game, Joe chose to roll with a starting lineup of Pritchard, White, Brown, Minott, and Queta as the Celtics hosted the Cavs at TD Garden. Prior to the start of the season, the CelticsBlog writers all postulated about what the starting five should be, and while […]
“You gotta make that choice”: Celtics committed to Joe Mazzulla’s vision vs. Cavs — and it paid off
Maybe the Celtics have much more in the tank than their first three games suggested — much, much more. Boston’s 0-3 start to the season quickly drew doubt surrounding the team’s frontcourt, offseason, and overall ability to compete without Jayson Tatum. It only took three games for the online discourse surrounding the team to turn […]
Celtics finally got hot from three in a 125-105 blowout over Cavaliers
The Celtics have struggled to find their three-point shot. On Wednesday night they found it, hitting 21 triples in the 125-105 win over the Cavaliers. Jaylen Brown had a huge game as well, scoring 30 points, his 2nd 30+ point game of the season. The Celtics came out with the same starting lineup as they […]
High-low IQ plays of Week 1
Welcome to the five highest (or lowest) 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 more under-the-radar plays that might not get the credit they deserve — the plays that get the basketball psychos and nerds out of their […]

Neemias Queta reveals biggest surprise of becoming Celtics starter
Neemias Queta didn’t appear in front of the media often during preseason, sitting out the opener, scoring only four points with five turnovers in Toronto before Chris Boucher starter over him the win over the Cavs. Joe Mazzulla never fully committed to the prohibitive starter actually becoming one and Brad Stevens simply gave Queta a […]

Jaylen Brown upgraded to probable before Celtics-Cavs
Jaylen Brown improved to probable ahead of Celtics-Cavaliers with what the Celtics labeled left hamstring reconditioning since late last week. He entered the games in Detroit and New Orleans, a back-to-back, questionable before ultimately playing and thriving in both games. Brown, who scored 41 points on 12-for-25 shooting against the Pistons in his best showing […]
The Celtics’ young wings are ready to soar
It has been a bumpy start for Boston. With a talent drain and a reconstructed roster, it is naturally taking time for players to fall into their roles. They may be in the right chapter, but they’re not all on the same page. Still, even amid the early growing pains, flashes of promise are starting […]
