Players don’t always have any say in what goes on in the front office, so you can never be sure how they’ll react to a big trade. However, it’s safe to say that Boston Celtics star Jayson Tatum is a fan of the front office’s recent move for two-time All-Star Jrue Holiday. Although the massive […]

The Boston Celtics won the Jrue Holiday sweepstakes, but it wasn’t without a price. For the former Milwaukee Buck, the C’s had to give up Sixth Man of the Year Malcolm Brogdon and center Robert Williams III. With “Time Lord” gone and forward Grant Williams no longer in the picture, Boston’s big man depth took […]

Some great teams in NBA history excelled in the regular season but failed to get it done in the postseason. It doesn’t mean they aren’t worthy of being mentioned among the greats, but they won’t find their way onto our list. The following teams have all won NBA championships spectacularly, and most have had some […]

The Boston Celtics, like Paul Pierce said, have been hardened by the playoff heartbreak they’ve experienced in recent years. After all, as the old adage goes, there’s no better teacher than experience. And through their gut-wrenching defeats in the 2022 NBA Finals and 2023 Eastern Conference Finals, Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown have become more […]

The Boston Celtics made a big move last week by trading for All-Star guard Jrue Holiday. That move is one that may help the Celtics take the next step needed to gain their 18th NBA Championship and their first since 2008. However, while the addition of Holiday is a huge addition, the Celtics gave up […]

There’s a temptation to compare Boston Celtics star Jayson Tatum to his Beantown predecessor in Paul Pierce. Both are lethal scoring forwards who can put the ball through the hoop from all three levels, both have incredible ball-handling for their size, and above all, their ability to get a shot up at any time makes […]

Damian Lillard’s surprise trade to the Milwaukee Bucks sent shockwaves through the NBA, but there is perhaps no team – Miami aside – who would have been less pleased to see the move than the Boston Celtics. The two are the clear favorites in the Eastern Conference, so the addition of one of the best […]

The Boston Celtics have made the playoffs in nine straight seasons, with star Jayson Tatum being on the team for six of them.

Former NBA journeyman JJ Redick has made quite the post-playing career for himself. He’s an analyst for ESPN and runs a successful basketball podcast called “The Old Man and the Three.” But just how close was he to giving all that up to come and join the Boston Celtics coaching staff? There were rumblings of […]

The Boston Celtics have turned the NBA on their head once again, with their latest big move seeing them pull off a blockbuster trade for Jrue Holiday. The C’s latest move once again boosts their title chances in a competitive Eastern Conference, and gives them arguably the best six-player starting rotation in the entire league. […]

Former Milwaukee Bucks star Jrue Holiday has already turned the page toward helping the Boston Celtics win their first championship since 2008. As his family prepares to follow him to Boston, though, Holiday’s wife, Lauren, shared a heartfelt message on social media about the massive emotional toll player trades take on their kin and community. […]

Guard Jrue Holiday has had his fair share of battles against the Boston Celtics in front of the rambunctious TD Garden crowd. But after getting moved to the C’s on Sunday, the Boston faithful will now be on his side. During Holiday’s official introduction on Wednesday, Holiday spoke very highly of the loyal fans of […]

The Boston Celtics made some major moves this offseason, with their last one being an all-out effort to bring in two-time All-Star Jrue Holiday. While the former Milwaukee Buck has no previous ties to the C’s, Boston’s front office has apparently wanted him for some time. During Holiday’s introduction to the media on Wednesday, Celtics […]

Jaylen Brown and the Boston Celtics made it to the 2023 Eastern Conference Finals. Despite miraculously pushing the Miami Heat to seven games, Boston came up short. Brown has been noted to struggle with scoring while driving left. It is one reason critics claim the Celtics lost in the ECF game. Fans are still letting […]

The Damian Lillard saga is finally over, as the seven-time All-Star was shockingly traded to the Milwaukee Bucks. And while acquiring Lillard wasn’t realistic for the Boston Celtics, star Jayson Tatum still tried his best to bring “Dame Time” to Beantown.

The Eastern Conference has completely transformed over the past few weeks, but Boston Celtics head coach Joe Mazzulla is more concerned with controlling what he can control. For example, when he was asked for his thoughts on Damian Lillard’s shocking trade to the Milwaukee Bucks, the second-year manager gave a pretty nonchalant answer on J.J. […]

In the Eastern Conference, it’s the Milwaukee Bucks, the Boston Celtics, and everybody else. The Bucks and Celtics enter the 2023-24 NBA season as the best teams in the East. If there was a question earlier in the offseason, the Damian Lillard and Jrue Holiday trades left no doubt. Should the Bucks or the Celtics […]

After the Portland Trail Blazers surprisingly traded star Damian Lillard to the Milwaukee Bucks instead of the Miami Heat last week, Heat forward Jimmy Butler debuted a new haircut.

Sneaker deals and signature shoes are a huge deal for an NBA player’s career. They often signify the separation from being an average rotation player to a star in the eyes of the masses. It’s simple supply and demand, really. But, all of those dreams could fall through because of controversial opinions and unfortunate mishaps. […]

The sneaker industry has completely changed in the past half-century. In the 1980s, people were raving about the Converse Weapons that most NBA stars would wear. Michael Jordan then started his brand with Nike which made professional athletes crave their own stamps and twists on shoes. Everyone followed suit after with different companies signing various […]

Center Kristaps Porzingis needed something new. He was stuck on a struggling Washington Wizards team last season that had high hopes but, instead, was more interested in rebuilding than competing. Yet, he got the change he desired this offseason, as he was shipped to the Boston Celtics in a massive three-team trade. Now, Porzingis is […]

When the Boston Celtics failed to outlast the Miami Heat in the Eastern Conference Finals this past May, some changes were expected, nay demanded.

The Portland Trail Blazers front office, led by general manager Joe Cronin, finally traded away Damian Lillard, but not to the Miami Heat.

The first Sunday of October was a weird day for Boston sports fans. The New England Patriots got throttled by the Dallas Cowboys to fall to 1-3 on the season.

After having a stellar performance and winning the NBA’s Sixth Man of the Year Award, Malcolm Brogdon has officially parted ways with the Boston Celtics. This was not at all a surprise.

Center Robert Williams III was getting ready for a big year with the Boston Celtics. He was finally healthy and appeared good to go for training camp and beyond.

The NBA’s Eastern Conference has undergone a significant shake-up in recent days, after Damian Lillard joined the Milwaukee Bucks and Jrue Holiday departed for Portland, only to be almost immediately traded to the Boston Celtics.
