Jayson Tatum and the Boston Celtics have enjoyed a strong start to the 2023-24 NBA season.

The Philadelphia 76ers are on their first multi-game losing streak of the season after losing to the Boston Celtics on the second night of a back-to-back.

In the NBA, there appears to be such a thing as a perfect marriage between player and team. The partnership between Al Horford and the Boston Celtics counts as one of those perfect marriages.

Boston Celtics center Al Horford is 37 years old, making him one of the oldest guys in the NBA.

The Celtics, who were without All-Stars Jaylen Brown and Kristaps Porzingis, still […]

The Philadelphia 76ers are enjoying their reign atop the Eastern Conference standings.

The club announced on Tuesday morning that coach Jacob Jackomas would not see out the remainder of the season after opening […]

Boston Celtics forward Sam Hauser fits the stereotype of a player opposing teams would want to attack. He looks pretty unassuming, is known primarily for his offense, and is rarely the most athletic guy on the court given Boston’s talented roster. In fact, former Celtics point guard Marcus Smart even said last season that if […]

The Boston Celtics are one of the favorites to win the 2024 NBA championship, and Jayson Tatum’s elite play remains one of the biggest driving forces as to why.

Grant Williams had been an impressive glue guy in the Boston Celtics system. It is just unfortunate that Jayson Tatum and his squad no longer have him to fulfill that role. Most fans are starting to miss his ruthless impact as a three-and-d player. While some wanted him back because of his off-court antics with […]

Boston Celtics center Kristaps Porzingis may be relatively new to Boston, but it sounds like he has a lot of faith in the chemistry developing with Celtics star Jaylen Brown.

The Boston Celtics are still on top of the Eastern Conference food chain. While they aren’t the best team by record, they’re pretty close to their rival Philadelphia 76ers. A big part of that is the effect that Jayson Tatum brings to the table. The All-Star forward has been the driving force behind Boston’s continued […]

Grant Williams had some productive years for the Boston Celtics, but when free agency rolled around, he figured his time in Beantown was up. Williams’ assumption was correct, as he never reached a deal with the C’s in the offseason. Instead, he was sent to the Dallas Mavericks in a sign-and-trade that included a new […]

Boston Celtics star Jaylen Brown is throwing his support for a political bill in Massachusetts that would raise the age of juvenile crime jurisdiction to 21.

Lonnie Walker continues […]
