Now, there are major question marks surrounding where Boston goes from here after their loss […]

The Boston Celtics are likely still reeling from their crushing Eastern Conference Finals defeat to the Miami Heat, but they aren’t going to completely stand pat and wallow in their misery.

[…]

The Boston Celtics played with fire throughout the 2023 playoffs, and as a result, they got burned and are now in a crucial offseason.

Denver Nuggets veteran forward Jeff Green is nicknamed Uncle Jeff for a reason, as he utilizes his experience not only to his personal benefit but also to help guide a close-knit young team that’s made it farther in the NBA Playoffs than they’ve ever been. Outside of starting guard Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, Green — who lost […]

It’s not too often that a role player that hasn’t featured heavily in the rotation requests a trade.

And […]

For much of the playoffs, the stellar performances of the Miami Heat’s unsung role players — or as Jimmy Butler would call them, his “teammates” — have been the talk of the town. After all, the likes of Caleb Martin (who almost won the Eastern Conference Finals MVP over Butler) and Max Strus went undrafted […]

With the season on the line in Game 7 of the Eastern Conference Finals, the Boston Celtics played about as poorly as possible. The Celtics could barely make a 3-pointer, their defense was lacking, and they were turning the ball over constantly. Jaylen Brown had the most turnover issues for the Celtics, as he produced […]

In the regular season, the Boston Celtics were one of the deepest teams in the league.

After a 2022-23 campaign filled with high hopes and disappointment, the Boston Celtics are officially in the offseason.

According […]

The Boston Celtics finished the regular season off with the second-best record in the association at 57-25 and held homecourt advantage throughout their time during the playoffs.

Since the Boston Celtics were officially eliminated from postseason contention following their forced ouster by the Miami Heat, the subject of Joe Mazzulla’s job security has seemingly been a hot talking point.

The Boston Celtics reportedly were all-in on Joe Mazzulla’s leadership stype, but the roster did not agree with his shift away from a defensive identity that got the team to the NBA Finals in 2022, according to Jay King and Jared Weiss of The Athletic. “His leadership is second to none,” a Celtics source said, […]

Boston Celtics star wings Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown may not be the team’s vocal leaders — that title belongs to Marcus Smart and Al Horford — but they are the Celtics’ two best players, and thus, their words carry weight in the locker room. Tatum and Brown used their influence to demand a rotation […]

Apart from the fact that Jimmy Butler has been playing like the best player in the entire league, the Miami Heat’s amazing NBA Playoffs run has also been characterized by the emergence of their undrafted sensations.

Jimmy Butler did not even want to lay a finger on the Eastern Conference championship trophy after the Miami Heat took down the Boston Celtics in Game 7 of what turned out to be an epic ECF series.

Miami Heat forward Duncan Robinson grew up in New England and regularly attended Boston Celtics games as a kid.

The 2022-23 iteration of the Boston Celtics, from top to bottom, is one of the most talented teams in the league on paper.

Jimmy Butler and the Miami Heat’s run to the 2023 NBA Finals has Dwight Howard really inspired, so much so that the NBA big man couldn’t help but share some motivational words of his own.
