After an eventful trade deadline last week, teams are frantically jockeying for position in our NBA Power Rankings. We should obviously be ready […]

Ime Udoka is no longer employed by the Boston Celtics “in any capacity” after the team removed the interim tag from head coach Joe Mazzulla on Thursday, according to Sports Illustrated’s Chris Mannix. The implication is that Udoka is no longer suspended, and that the organization has cut ties with him altogether; the Celtics suspended […]

After leading the Boston Celtics to the NBA’s best record through 59 games, interim head coach Joe Mazzulla finally got his promotion, as he had the interim dropped from his title, and is officially the C’s newest head coach.

Marcus Smart is finally expected to make his long-awaited return from injury on Wednesday when the Boston Celtics take on the Detroit Pistons.

This includes a rather bizarre injury for Derrick White, who is currently dealing with […]

The Boston Celtics lost a big one on Tuesday after falling to the second-seeded Milwaukee Bucks, 131-125. The Celtics were missing their key guys in that loss, which included Jayson Tatum who was forced to miss the game due to injury. Boston is back in action on Wednesday as they look to get back to […]

Boston Celtics defensive ace Marcus Smart has sat out nearly a month due to an ankle injury. The last time he played was back on January 21st against the Toronto Raptors when he scored two points, grabbed two rebounds, and dished out four assists. Without arguably their best defender, the Celtics have done little but […]

The Detroit Pistons will travel to take on the Boston Celtics in a Wednesday matchup at the TD Garden in Boston. With that said, it’s a good time to check out our NBA odds series, which includes a Pistons-Celtics prediction and pick, laid out below. Detroit has been downright awful this season, with a 15-43 record […]

The Boston Celtics got a clutch three-pointer from Sam Hauser to force overtime against the Milwaukee Bucks on Tuesday. Apparently, the basketball gods would only allow one. With the Celtics down two in overtime after a go-ahead triple from Jrue Holiday, Grant Williams curled toward the left wing and faked a three before turning over […]

Milwaukee dispatched Boston 131-125 on Tuesday, but the Bucks were much more in danger of losing to the Celtics than the score indicates. Celtics sharpshooter Sam Hauser was a big reason why. With no Jayson Tatum, Jaylen Brown, Marcus Smart, and Al Horford, the clash of East titans looked slated to be severely one-sided on […]

The Boston Celtics were severely shorthanded in their Tuesday night contest against the Milwaukee Bucks, but somehow managed to force overtime and very nearly walk away with a victory over the Bucks. Four of Boston’s five starters were inactive for this game, and the only one that was active, Robert Williams, played just 13 minutes […]

The Boston Celtics fell prey to Giannis Antetokounmpo and the Milwaukee Bucks on the road Tuesday night, but the Boston Bruins gave Beantowng sports fans something to feel good about on Valentine’s Day. The Bruins eked out a 3-2 overtime win on the road over the Dallas Stars, thus finally reaching the 40th-win mark in […]

The Boston Celtics, currently the best team in the league record-wise, are going through a fair bit of injury woes at the moment. In fact, they didn’t have the services of Jayson Tatum, Jaylen Brown, Marcus Smart, Al Horford in their most recent loss against the Milwaukee Bucks on Tuesday night. And there may be […]

The Milwaukee Bucks are on an 11-game winning streak, and Giannis Antetokounmpo is turning all the attention on him as he strengthens his case for MVP. Milwaukee extended its winning streak on Tuesday with a 131-125 overtime win against the Boston Celtics. Antetokounmpo recorded a near triple-double stat line in the contest, registering 36 points, […]

The Boston Celtics got a lot of bad news on Tuesday. Aside from losing to the Milwaukee Bucks in overtime, Grant Williams appeared to have sustained an injury that could put his availability for the team in jeopardy. Speaking to reporters after the 131-125 defeat to the Bucks, Williams admitted that he is dealing with […]

The Boston Celtics and Milwaukee Bucks engaged in one of the most entertaining games of the season Tuesday night. The Celtics entered the game without the services of Jayson Tatum, Jaylen Brown, Marcus Smart and Al Horford. Despite being without four of their top stars, they led for much of the game. However, the Bucks […]

Jrue Holiday got the Milwaukee Bucks fans buzzing after he hit an incredible 50-foot bomb as time expired in the third quarter of Tuesday’s game against the Boston Celtics. With the Celtics ahead 95-87 and with just 1.4 second left when Holiday got the ball, no one thought that the Bucks guard’s shot would go […]

The injury bug has bitten the Boston Celtics a lot as of late. Over the last few weeks, both Jaylen Brown and Marcus Smart have missed significant time, while big men Robert Williams and Al Horford have been in and out of the lineup. And a recent unfortunate injury update indicates that the Celtics will […]

Milwaukee Bucks superstar forward Giannis Antetokounmpo put together a dominant all-around performance in Friday’s game against the Los Angeles Clippers. He scored 35 points — on 13-for-25 shooting from the field — grabbed eight rebounds, dished out six assists, and came up with two steals in the 119-106 Milwaukee victory. So when Derrick White, Malcolm […]

The Boston Celtics couldn’t strike a deal last year with forward Grant Williams, and he may decide to up his price when contract talks resume.

Despite the myriad of injuries they have been dealing with of late, the Boston Celtics have still fared very well over their past few games. Their four-game winning streak, however, is now in danger when they take on the Milwaukee Bucks on Tuesday night — especially since Jayson Tatum is in danger of missing that […]

While he rehabs a facial fracture, Boston Celtics wing Jaylen Brown says that he’s unsure of whether or not he’ll be able to play in the 2023 NBA All-Star Game. However, as doctors “came to the determination” that surgery isn’t necessary, he doesn’t believe that the injury will keep him off the court for long. […]

The Houston Rockets and 3-time NBA champion Danny Green have agreed to a buyout, per The Athletic’s Shams Charania. Green, a 14-year NBA veteran, only appeared in three games for the Memphis Grizzlies this season before being traded to the Rockets in a 3-team deal. A veteran wing with the ninth-most 3-point field goals all-time […]

The time for trades is over in the NBA, yet the Boston Celtics still have an open roster spot following an insanely active trade deadline. While the Celtics only made one move for big man Mike Muscala, there are plenty of potential buyout candidates around the league. With Muscala, Boston’s front office likely won’t target […]

The 2023 NBA trade deadline has come and gone and the Boston Celtics were one of the teams that was active pulling off a deal to bring in veteran shooting big man Mike Muscala. But it’s the trade they didn’t make that is now making headlines. Reserve point guard Payton Pritchard was a player whose […]

The NBA trade deadline was surprisingly eventful, and even though there are no more trades that will be made throughout the remainder of the season, that doesn’t mean moves are done being made. Now, the attention will switch to the buyout market, which looks likely to have several big names hitting the market. One of […]

Jayson Tatum is now the youngest player in the NBA to hit 1,000 3-pointers. More than the record, however, the Boston Celtics star is happy with the feat because he surpassed his childhood hero Bradley Beal in the record. Tatum didn’t hide his delight for the record and appreciation for Beal considering how much he […]

Jaylen Brown will be out of commission for the Boston Celtics for at least one week after he suffered a facial fracture during their win over the Philadelphia 76ers on Wednesday. It was Jayson Tatum who inadvertently elbowed Brown in the face, which forced the latter to exit the game immediately after the nasty hit. […]

Jayson Tatum has been having an MVP-caliber season for the Boston Celtics. He has had multiple explosive scoring games this season and on Friday against the Charlotte Hornets, he dropped 41 points in a win. The game as his eighth game this season scoring at least 40 points and it moved him into a tie […]

The 2023 NBA trade deadline has passed, and the league’s structure has changed as a result. However, the Boston Celtics made only a single change to try and strengthen their frontcourt. Was it a meaningful enough addition, though? Here we look at the biggest mistake that the Celtics may have committed at the 2023 NBA […]

The Boston Celtics did not get a Kevin Durant or a Kyrie Irving during the frenetic NBA trade deadline. They did, however, acquire Mike Muscala from the Oklahoma City Thunder as a bit of an under-the-radar deal amid the craziness of the past couple of days. If you think about it, the Celtics don’t really […]

Jaylen Brown suffered a freak injury on Wednesday after being on the receiving end of a wayward elbow from Boston Celtics teammate Jayson Tatum. Both stars were going for a rebound when Brown ended up getting hit in the face by a nasty elbow from his own teammate. Unfortunately for Boston fans, it looks like […]

The Boston Celtics are set to host the Charlotte Hornets in an ESPN Friday night primetime matchup. The team is already without Jaylen Brown and Marcus Smart, but now could also be down their top star Jayson Tatum, who was a surprise addition to the NBA Injury Report due to a non-COVID illness. Ailments are […]

The Boston Celtics could be extremely shorthanded on Friday night when they take on the Charlotte Hornets. Literally all five of their starters have been listed on the injury report, which means that we could see a totally makeshift Celtics side take on the 15-41 Hornets. Jayson Tatum, Jaylen Brown injury status vs. Hornets Tatum, […]

With only a few hours left before the passing of a crazy 2023 NBA trade deadline, the Boston Celtics made a move for former Oklahoma City Thunder big man Mike Muscala. The C’s dealt forward Justin Jackson and two second-round picks in return for the 31-year-old. While the Thunder are expected to waive Jackson and […]

The Boston Celtics have been looking to shore up their big man rotation all season long after entering the year relatively short handed at the position. They managed to do just that on NBA Trade Deadline day, pulling off a deal with the Oklahoma City Thunder that will see them acquire shooting big man Mike […]

The Boston Celtics have been riding high for most of the 2022-23 season, and that continued on Wednesday night when they picked up a win over the Philadelphia 76ers despite being down to just one healthy regular starter in Jayson Tatum come the second half. However, they were dealt a less than ideal update on […]

The Boston Celtics took down the Philadelphia 76ers despite missing almost their entire starting lineup aside from Jayson Tatum. Blake Griffin was one of many players who stepped up, got hot from deep and got the Celtics a hard-fought win. Griffin hit three triples in the first quarter and five in the entire game as […]
