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.

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 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 […]

On Tuesday evening, new Boston Celtics Kristaps Porzingis and Jrue Holiday shared the floor in Boston’s preseason game against the New York Knicks.

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.
