It is no secret that Boston looks sharp to open the new campaign. Kristaps Porzingis, who is in his first year with the Celtics following an offseason […]

One of the toughest jobs as a defender is trying to defend Golden State Warriors star Stephen Curry for an entire game. If he’s not shaking you off with his tight handle, he’ll run from one corner to the other using screens to get himself open. Former teammate Juan Toscano-Anderson once said he’s unstoppable to […]

Boston Celtics star Jaylen Brown has played in his share of wins. But after a 51-point beatdown of the Indiana Pacers on Wednesday night, Brown told NBA TV how special this year’s team is. He made those comments when asked if this was the best starting five he’s been a part of: "You can say […]

The Boston Celtics are one of those organizations that are always looking to make moves in order to better their championship outlook. Even after making the NBA Finals in 2022 and coming up one game shy of making it back to the Finals last season, the Celtics saw a need for change. As a result, […]

The addition of Jrue Holiday this past offseason made the Boston Celtics one of the favorites, if not the frontrunner, to win the 2024 NBA championship.

The Milwaukee Bucks jumped to the top of the ladder as favorites (along with the Boston Celtics) to win the 2024 NBA championship after they acquired Damian Lillard to pair him with franchise superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo.

That title now falls […]

The Boston Celtics won the Jrue Holiday sweepstakes, but it wasn’t without a price.
