Creating a playoff-like environment in early December is no easy feat, but the NBA is looking to do just that with the new In-Season Tournament. And since this is the inaugural run of the regular season competition, Jayson Tatum, Jaylen Brown, and the Boston Celtics are hoping to be the very first team to hoist […]

The Boston Celtics 125-119 victory over the Philadelphia 76ers on Friday night was likely a closer contest than the team would have liked given that the Sixers were without Joel Embiid and Tyrese Maxey, but a win is a win, and the Celtics pushed their record to an NBA-best 15-4. Of course, Jayson Tatum getting […]

Jayson Tatum was ejected during the Boston Celtics’ 125-119 win against the Philadelphia 76ers on Friday.

I didn’t throw nothing. […]

The Boston Celtics surprisingly found themselves in a tough battle at home against a Joel Embiid and Tyrese Maxey-less Philadelphia 76ers, and their tough game became even more difficult when Jayson Tatum was ejected in the third quarter after drawing his second technical foul for protesting the referee’s decision to put his inadvertent elbow towards […]

The Boston Celtics’ Friday night battle against the Philadelphia 76ers had all the makings of being a trap game. The Sixers were without both Joel Embiid and Tyrese Maxey, so naturally, the likes of Patrick Beverley and Robert Covington stepped up on the offensive end. And to make matters worse for the Celtics, Jayson Tatum […]

After a busy offseason, the Boston Celtics formed a talented, well-established starting five. And outside of injuries or the occasional rest day, there’s not much reason for the C’s to mix that group up. The Celtics are currently 14-4 with the best record in the league, meaning they’re not too eager to make significant playing […]

The Boston Celtics are currently the best team in basketball this 2023-24 NBA season and sit atop the Eastern Conference standings with a 14-4 record. Led by Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown, the Celtics have the 9th-best offense and the No. 2 defense in the league. This balance of offense and defense has earned them […]

Re-acquiring Al Horford was integral to the Boston Celtics’ system after they fell extremely short of expectations. His acumen and eye for keeping players in Joe Mazzulla’s system in check allows for a better bond inside and outside the court. More than that, his production does not seem to falter despite his age and it […]

Despite missing two starters and having a horrendous shooting night from three, the Boston Celtics still managed to take down the Atlanta Hawks, 113-103 on Sunday. Jayson Tatum led the way for the Celtics with 34 points, while Jaylen Brown added 21 points as Boston moved to 13-4 on the season. After the game, Brown spoke […]

The NBA In-Season Tournament has caught a lot of flak for various reasons that span to the courts being an eyesore to the styles of play varying from each team.

Mikal Bridges has earned a reputation as one of the NBA’s top defensive stoppers over seven NBA seasons.

In a recent interview with Bleacher Report’s Taylor Rooks, Bridges opened up on his toughest assignments, breaking down the individual skills that […]

The Boston Celtics and Milwaukee Bucks will square off in Boston for one of the biggest regular-season games thus far on Wednesday night. While both teams seemed relatively healthy ahead of the showdown, Celtics star Jayson Tatum just found himself on the injury report, so now there’s a question on if he’s playing tonight vs. […]

The Boston Celtics have one of the best starting groups in the entire NBA. With the arrival of stars Kristaps Porzingis and Jrue Holiday this offseason, the C’s gained the luxury of having six potential starters. However, with only five starting spots available, somebody from last season’s starting group was now going to be coming […]

On Monday evening, Jayson Tatum and the Boston Celtics dropped to 11-3 on the young 2023-24 NBA season with a crushing 121-118 overtime road loss to the Charlotte Hornets.

Recently, Boston Celtics legend Paul Pierce raised eyebrows across the NBA when he proclaimed his belief that current Celtics star Jayson Tatum is the best American player in the NBA, having already passed up LeBron James and Kevin Durant, and with the only challenger, in Pierce’s eyes, to Tatum’s throne being Stephen Curry of the […]

Boston Celtics legend Paul Pierce is never one to shy away from giving a hot take, and he’s also known to always support his former team when he can. So, when Pierce was discussing the best American players in the league right now, it’s not a surprise that he put Celtics star Jayson Tatum at […]

Out of all the teams in the association, no one would have expected the Charlotte Hornets to be the slayers of the mean green giants of the Eastern Conference. But, the rest of the Lamelo Ball-led squad may have been onto something way before the season even started. PJ Washington remembered what Boston Celtics star […]

Winning on the second night of a back-to-back is always a tough task. Losing that game when you had a golden chance to win the game is even more excruciating to accept. For Jayson Tatum and the Boston Celtics on Monday night, they simply could not have lost in a more demoralizing fashion against a […]

Jayson Tatum and the Boston Celtics dropped a 121-118 game to the Charlotte Hornets on Monday night in overtime, but the game wasn’t without its silver linings. Tatum scored a season-high 45 points against the Hornets in the Queen City, adding 13 rebounds while recording six assists and seven made three-pointers. The epic duel between […]

The Charlotte Hornets may be struggling to start the 2023-24 NBA season, but that didn’t stop them from putting on an epic performance against the team with the best record in the NBA in the Boston Celtics.

The Boston Celtics have looked every bit the championship contender that fans and pundits believed they would be coming into the 2023-24 NBA season.

Boston Celtics star Jaylen Brown was teammates with point guard Marcus Smart for seven seasons, and the two became great friends in that time span. However, they didn’t always get along. Smart, who was traded to the Memphis Grizzlies this offseason, was not Brown’s favorite teammate initially. Ahead of Boston’s Sunday night showdown against the […]

Jaylen Brown is being listed as questionable on the Boston Celtics injury report for Sunday’s game against the Memphis Grizzlies, the team announced. Brown is dealing with a right adductor strain and his status is uncertain for Sunday’s affair. Brown recently issued a complaint about the Toronto Raptors NBA In-Season Tournament court. He called the […]

To start the Boston Celtics’ 2023-24 season, nobody was talking about forward Sam Hauser. It’s not hard to understand why given Boston’s exceptionally busy offseason.

Boston Celtics star Jayson Tatum has gotten off to a strong start to the 2023-24 NBA season. Despite the talent that Boston added around him this past offseason, Tatum’s stats have hardly taken a dent so far this season, and Boston has looked like the best team in the Eastern Conference early on in the […]

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.

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.
