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 […]

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 […]

You […]
