A ‘pissed’ Brad Stevens is exactly what the Celtics need right now
Boston Celtics President of Basketball Operations Brad Stevens has no reason to feel satisfied — and he isn’t. Just four days after the team’s Game 7 loss to the Philadelphia 76ers, a defeat that marked the first blown 3-1 playoff lead in franchise history, Stevens spoke at his end-of-season press conference at the Auerbach Center. […]

Brad Stevens talks Jaylen Brown comments, Joe’s future, 76ers loss, and more
BOSTON — Three days after the Celtics’ early playoff elimination, Brad Stevens sat down in front of the media for his longest press conference of the year, touching on a slew of questions ranging from the team’s offensive play style, reports that Jaylen Brown is unhappy with the organization, Jayson Tatum’s Game 7 sidelining, and […]
The Celtics can’t enter next season with another half-answer at center
There is no such thing as a Joel Embiid stopper. That feels like a decent place to start, because if the Celtics spend the summer trying to find one, they’ll be chasing the wrong thing. Embiid is a former MVP for a reason. When he’s healthy, comfortable and getting to his spots, there are only […]
Should the Boston Celtics trade Jaylen Brown?
After the Boston Celtics’ second straight early exit from the playoffs, the topic of roster changes is inevitable. Fans like you and I can be pretty emotional in the aftermath of disappointment. Brad Stevens, however, seems to be a lot more level headed. But that doesn’t mean he won’t consider all the options before him. […]
Getting Past the Heartbreak—The Week in Green
“In the morning, there was a big wind blowing and the waves were running high up on the beach and he was awake a long time before he remembered that his heart was broken.” The words are Hemingway’s. I was woken up, as I usually am, by Clara the cat, whose business is to inform […]
Jaylen Brown fined $50k for Twitch stream comments on officiating, Donovan Mitchell gets his back
After scoring 33 points in the Celtics’ Game 7 loss at home to the 76ers, Jaylen Brown took to Twitch to get everything off his chest before heading into the offseason. Much of it was positive after his MVP-level performance this year. Despite the early exit, he called the 56-win season the most fun he’s […]

A Self-Inflicted Exit: Ranking the Reasons Behind the Boston Celtics’ Playoff Meltdown
The story of the 2025-2026 Boston Celtics is a complicated one. A team that blew expectations out of the water after a 56-win season, that, fair or not, reset those expectations going into the playoffs. The team then fell dramatically short, blowing the first 3-1 series lead in franchise history, and, to dump salt into […]
Brad Stevens’ next move is to reload for another title run
Brad Stevens earned his Executive of the Year award by resetting his team’s roster financially while also fielding a squad of productive, overachieving, high effort players with high future potential. Then the first round happened and Cinderella’s carriage turned back into a pumpkin. So for his next trick, Brad Stevens has to use that hard […]
Everything Jaylen Brown addressed in post-Celtics elimination livestream
Boston Celtics star Jaylen Brown had a lot to get off his chest. Less than 24 hours after suffering elimination at the hands of the Philadelphia 76ers in a first-round series Boston led 3-1, Brown took to Twitch.

The good, the bad, and the ugly of the Celtics postseason (Feed post of the Day)
Just wanted to highlight this post, which was well thought out and presented in an organized fashion. In particular I liked the section on living and dying by the 3. I think most would agree that the 3 pointers have served us very well over the years and this isn’t a “they are shooting too […]
Celtics went from being Joel Embiid’s kryptonite to his legacy catalyst
BOSTON — Philadelphia 76ers star Joel Embiid had the last laugh on Saturday night. F**k Embiid! F**k Embiid! F**k Embiid! In the second quarter of Game 7, as Embiid took a trip to the free-throw line with over five minutes left, that was the only thing the 2023 NBA MVP could hear. Boston Celtics fans, […]
The Celtics waited too long to be right
We are defined by our choices. The ones we make, the ones we don’t, and those we make too late. For their last game of the season, the Celtics will be remembered for the latter. The first decision that defined the game, and how it will be remembered, was the starting five. It’s not about […]
Root-ability Rankings: a Celtics fans’ guide to watching the rest of the NBA playoffs
Boston Celtics fans are in unfamiliar territory today. The Conference Semi-Finals are starting and the Celtics aren’t one of the eight remaining teams. The Celtics’ unexpected loss in seven games to the Philadelphia 76ers was just the second time in the last 10 seasons that Boston was eliminated in the first round. The other was […]
Reflecting on a rare Celtics season where the glass is both half full and half empty
What are we supposed to do now? But seriously, after watching the Celtics collapse against the 76ers and seeing their season come to a crashing halt, it feels like something is missing from spring. We’ve all devoted countless hours to watching this team play in May and June, and knowing that the journey is completely […]
Jayson Tatum’s Celtics season ended the same way it started — but the truth isn’t that simple
BOSTON — Late in the fourth quarter, as Derrick White’s fifth three-pointer of the night sailed through the net, Jayson Tatum turned his back to the TD Garden parquet and emphatically punched the Celtics bench with both fists. He badly wanted the Celtics to do the improbable, to pull out a come-from-behind victory in Game […]
An unexpected journey: The Celtics’ raised expectations and back again
Oof. I need a minute to unfold myself and get some air back in my bruised lungs. That one hurt. I think the reason it hurt so much is because it was so unexpected. I predicted a sweep for the Celtics. I dismissed the Sixers as first round fodder. I did not expect MVP Joel […]

In unprecedented collapse, the Celtics dishonored their long-held standard
BOSTON — The Boston Celtics began their season with three straight losses. Six months later, against the same Philadelphia 76ers they faced on Opening Night, their season ended with three straight losses in a historic fall from grace at TD Garden. “We knew it was going to be a fight, and we didn’t expect nothing […]
Game 7 ended the Celtics’ season before any of us were ready to let go
BOSTON — Minutes after Jayson Tatum was ruled out of Game 7, Joe Mazzulla walked into the media room wearing a black “Celtics Mindset” hoodie. He didn’t raise his voice or change his tone. “This season was about creating different identities,” he said. “We’ve done this before.” It landed the way most of his comments […]
The Celtics were on top of the world. Then, the season ended in heartbreak.
BOSTON – On Sunday night, the Celtics were on top of the world, holding a 3-1 series lead over their rival Philadelphia 76ers, equipped with a fully healthy roster and on the heels of a spectacular 56-win regular season. Fresh off a 32-point offensive masterpiece, Payton Pritchard sat at the podium and reflected on the […]
