Jaylen Brown and the Boston Celtics were dealt the biggest beatdown of their season against an Oklahoma City Thunder side playing without their star in the lineup.

There are much better ways to spend $10 than a wager with almost 300-to-1 odds. That didn’t stop one Oklahoma City Thunder fan from making that adage look silly on Tuesday night. The Thunder walloped the reigning East champion Boston Celtics, pounding them with 150 points even without potential All-Star Shai Gilgeous-Alexander in the lineup. […]

The Boston Celtics thought that they were in for a cakewalk victory when the Oklahoma City Thunder announced that Shai Gilgeous-Alexander would miss their Tuesday night game with an illness.

Joe Mazzulla had to reach down his coaching bag to send a strong message to the Boston Celtics after getting bludgeoned by the Oklahoma City Thunder Tuesday night.

The Boston Celtics are doing their best to prove that their ridiculous turnaround last season that saw them go all the way to the 2022 NBA Finals wasn’t a fluke.

Jaylen Brown and the Boston Celtics failed to start the New Year right after they lost to the Denver Nuggets, 123-111, despite the absence of Jamal Murray.

The new year is here and 2022 is finally over, but what a calendar year it was for the Boston Celtics. Of every team in the NBA, no squad had more wins in 2022, as the C’s went 60-22. Although they couldn’t add a title to their 2022 resume, last year was kind to the […]

Paul Pierce may not be the biggest fan of LeBron James, but the Boston Celtics legend couldn’t deny the greatness the Los Angeles Lakers star showed against the Atlanta Hawks.

As LeBron James continues his quest to become the NBA’s all-time leading scorer, Boston Celtics forward Jayson Tatum couldn’t help but think how amazing it would be when the Los Angeles Lakers star actually surpasses Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.

After a long recovery process, Boston Celtics center Robert Williams III is finally looking like himself on the court.

The Boston Celtics undoubtedly got deeper this offseason with the addition of former Rookie of the Year Malcolm Brogdon.

Celtics point guard Payton Pritchard has seen his minutes greatly decrease since the trade for Brogdon. […]

Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown have become arguably the league’s best duo today, and they showed as much when they eviscerated the Houston Rockets’ defense on Tuesday night.

But Williams is already dealing with the injury bug yet again, this […]

The three-point revolution has taken the NBA to uncharted places. Teams these days are prioritizing defensive mobility on the perimeter as a result. After all, three points are worth more than two.

Giannis Antetokounmpo is not getting discouraged despite the Milwaukee Bucks’ disastrous showing against the Boston Celtics in their Christmas Day game.
