Kristaps Porzingis and the Boston Celtics have gotten off to a strong start to the 2023-24 season. Boston has won three straight games to improve their overall record to 8-2, and Porzingis has mostly looked the part of the unicorn-like enigma for opposing defenses that the Celtics had envisioned when they traded for him this […]

Jayson Tatum and the Boston Celtics have gotten off to a strong start to the 2023-24 NBA season. Boston currently sits at 8-2, winners of three straight games after a couple of tough defeats, and Tatum has largely looked the part of the MVP candidate that many pundits expect him to be in 2023-24. One […]

Kristaps Porzingis and the Boston Celtics have enjoyed a strong start to the 2023-24 NBA season. The Celtics currently sit at 8-2, winners of three straight games in front of the TD Garden home fans, and Porzingis has largely looked very comfortable in his new threads following his trade from the Washington Wizards this past […]

There obviously is not much to change in the Boston Celtics system. Joe Mazzulla has been efficient in using his core of Jaylen Brown, Jayson Tatum, Jrue Holiday, and Kristaps Porzingis. They currently hold a nine-win record while only dropping two close games so far in the season. However, their depth in the big man […]

Jayson Tatum and the Boston Celtics have gotten off to a strong start to the 2023-24 NBA season. The Celtics currently sit at 8-2, winners of all three games of their recent homestand at TD Garden, and Tatum has enjoyed a great opening act to the campaign, continuing to show improvement in virtually all aspects […]

Boston Celtics star Jayson Tatum had a single-word reaction to his father’s latest promotion: “Congrats.” The congratulations are well deserved, as Justin Tatum has been named interim head coach of the NBL’s Illawarra Hawks. 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. Tatum is displaying more consistency on a night-to-night basis, all the while remaining as explosive as they come on the offensive end of the floor. On […]

The Boston Celtics won a competitive Atlantic Division matchup over the New York Knicks. The Celtics 114-98 victory saw them improve their record to 8-2. Of course, Jayson Tatum led the team in scoring; however, the NBA superstar was critical of the refs after a late-game technical. Jayson Tatum was dissatisfied with his fourth-quarter technical […]

After witnessing Jayson Tatum dominate the New York Knicks on Monday, Boston Celtics legend Paul Pierce is convinced about one thing: The Problem is the top US-born player in the NBA today. Pierce took his bold claim to X (formerly Twitter), writing: “Tatum is the best American Basketball Player in the World.” And for those […]

The New York Knicks took on the rival Boston Celtics at the TD Garden on Monday night, and Josh Hart stole the show for a few brief, exciting moments in a losing effort. Knicks star Julius Randle fired back at ‘naive’ expectations recently following his return from ankle surgery. Randle’s post-injury recovery habits were scrutinized […]

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 […]

A lot of all-time greats have used the number 0 in their jerseys. Damian Lillard, Russell Westbrook, and even Robert Parish donned the double zeros during his time. All of these players have created a significant impact on the lives of current stars. But, Jayson Tatum knew who he was inspired by before even playing […]

Anyone who said that the NBA In-Season Tournament would be a flop was completely wrong. So far, these games have been competitive, they’ve been fun to watch, and the players have seemed to really buy into the idea of competing for something early on in the year. Every one of these games has had a […]

This game will continue our NBA odds series as we hand out a Knicks-Celtics prediction and pick. We will also let you know how to watch the game. The Knicks are finally playing well, […]

On Saturday night, the Boston Celtics trounced the Toronto Raptors during a 117-94 beatdown at TD Garden. While the scoreboard suggests that it was an uneventful contest, that was not the case late in the fourth quarter. With 3:27 left in the matchup, Celtics head coach Joe Mazzulla challenged a call on the floor while […]

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. Even in just a handful of games, Porzingis can tell that he is a good pair with Brown, as he told Jared Weiss. Kristaps Porziņģis […]

Why are the Boston Celtics so good? While the talent is obviously there, a team is only as good as their coach. We’ve seen many talented teams fall apart due to bad coaching. However, Joe Mazzulla has made Boston better than just the sum of their parts. His style of coaching has the team consistently […]

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. Brown wore a shirt Friday night before a game with the Brooklyn Nets expressing his support for the measure, called the Raise the Age bill. This was reported first […]

The Boston Celtics have been rolling this season. At 6-2, the team has been firing on all cylinders to start the year. However, one particular player has been taking some heat this season for the Celtics: Payton Pritchard. The point guard signed a four-year, $30 million contract with the team recently, but he’s been unfortunately […]

The Brooklyn Nets had remained competitive in every game this season entering Friday’s in-season tournament matchup with the Boston Celtics. However, with Ben Simmons and Cam Thomas sidelined in Boston, that streak ended with a 121-107 loss before a sellout crowd at TD Garden. Here are three takeaways from Brooklyn’s decisive loss. Lonnie Walker continues […]

Having lost two games in a row, the Boston Celtics will be raring to get back to winning ways when they take on the Brooklyn Nets on Friday night to start their NBA In-Season Tournament journey. But, as Jaylen Brown said, it’s not like the Celtics are treating this game any differently than to an […]

The Brooklyn Nets will face the Boston Celtics at the TD Garden for an NBA in-season tournament game. We’re here to share our NBA odds series, make a Nets-Celtics prediction, and pick while showing you how to watch. The Nets defeated the Los Angeles Clippers 100-93 on Wednesday. Initially, they trailed 21-13 after the first […]

The Boston Celtics currently sit at 5-2 on the young 2023-24 NBA season after a frustrating road loss to the Philadelphia 76ers on Wednesday night. Although the Sixers controlled the game for the majority of the second half, Boston made a furious late rally and had a Kristaps Porzingis shot up in the air that […]

Before any talks of notching another banner for the Boston Celtics kick in, Joe Mazzulla and his squad have much to figure out in their rotations. The ultimate tragedy of having a lot of talent would be the burden of managing all of them such that they fit. Jaylen Brown and Jayson Tatum were already […]

The Boston Celtics found themselves in another tight contest on Wednesday night, this time bumping heads against old nemesis Philadelphia 76ers. Down by six with 34 seconds to go, Jaylen Brown nailed a triple to pull within three, and then the Celtics pulled off a strong defensive stop in the subsequent possession, with Brown swatting […]

The Boston Celtics no longer sit atop the Eastern Conference standings, as they were dethroned by the Philadelphia 76ers Wednesday night in a 106-103 loss. Although the margin of defeat was only three, Philly largely dominated the contest until the final minutes of the fourth quarter. By the time the C’s tried to mount a […]

In a matchup of two of the best teams to start the 2023-24 season, the Philadelphia 76ers (6-1) hosted the Boston Celtics (5-2). In their first big test of the season since their season opener, the Sixers juuuust passed by a score of 106-103 and (for now) have the top seed in the Eastern Conference. […]

The Boston Celtics went all out this offseason, trading multiple key pieces in order to gear up for the 2023-24 season. One of the major players dealt was center Robert Williams III, a high-flying big man sought after by numerous teams. Just days before training camp, the C’s sent Williams to the Portland Trail Blazers […]

The NBA is doing something it’s never done before with the inaugural in-season tournament. And while the new regular season format has provided plenty of excitement so far, Boston Celtics star Jaylen Brown is a bit indifferent about it. Boston will have its first in-season tournament game at home on Friday, November 10th against the […]

Last week, we got our first look at the NBA In-Season Tournament. It was the first chance for fans to get a feel for what the pace of the games would look like, but more importantly, it was the first chance for the fans to see the new In-Season Tournament courts. The bright, bold courts […]

The NBA is trying to spice the regular season up with its inaugural In-Season Tournament, which tipped off last Friday with a highly competitive slate of matchups.

The Boston Celtics’ scorching hot start to the 2023-24 campaign came to a halt on Monday night when they took on the Minnesota Timberwolves, as the C’s suffered their first loss of the season via a 114-109 score. The C’s had an opportunity to win this game on the final possession of regulation, but Jaylen […]

Jayson Tatum and the Boston Celtics found themselves in a nip-and-tuck affair against Anthony Edwards and the Minnesota Timberwolves on Monday night, expectedly so. After all, this is a clash between an unstoppable force (the Celtics with the best offense in the NBA) and an immovable object (the Timberwolves with the best defensive rating thus […]

A struggling Karl Anthony-Towns would often mean an easy win for any team that goes against the Minnesota Timberwolves. This was not the case for the undefeated Boston Celtics led by Jayson Tatum. They got torched by Anthony Edwards. The star looked like he was on a mission to bust the arguably best team in […]

The Boston Celtics have looked every part of the genuine championship contender every pundit had them pegged in the early goings of the season. Jayson Tatum and the Celtics have put up the best offense in the league to this point, but they were going to face a huge, early test in their season on […]
