Jayson Tatum proved last year that he can lead the Boston Celtics deep into the playoffs, and this year he’s trying to prove that he can help the Green Team win the whole thing. While the start of the playoffs are months away, the 24-year-old has played at an elite level during the 2022-23 campaign, […]

Well, that wasn’t the performance that the Boston Celtics wanted against the Golden State Warriors. The two teams faced off this Saturday night in a rematch of last year’s Finals. Unfortunately, Jayson Tatum’s cold streak against the Dubs continued last night, as he struggled to find his groove against the defending champions. Despite the ugly […]

Boston Celtics star Jayson Tatum is on the receiving end of several criticisms after his rather uncharacteristic performance on Saturday in the rematch of the NBA Finals against the Golden State Warriors. Tatum was largely predicted to have a big game, especially with Andrew Wiggins missing from the Warriors. However, the leading MVP candidate failed […]

Jayson Tatum and the Boston Celtics are scared of Stephen Curry and the Golden State Warriors. That much is clear after the Dubs obliterated the league’s best team this 2022-23 season on Saturday. With Golden State struggling this campaign and Boston rolling, expectations were high that the Celtics were going to show the Warriors that […]

It has been 177 days since the Boston Celtics last faced the Golden State Warriors in the 2022 NBA Finals. On Saturday, they’ll square off once again, but in very different positions. Currently, Boston sits atop the NBA with a league-best 21-5 record (and a 7-0 record versus the Western Conference). The reigning champs hold […]

No one would be surprised if the Golden State Warriors and Boston Celtics face off in an NBA Finals rematch come June. But that distinct possibility says much more about the Celtics’ continued improvement and overall parity of the Western Conference this season than the Warriors living up to the standard they set last season […]

Jayson Tatum took care of business on Wednesday night after defeating the Phoenix Suns on their own home court. In fact, you might say that the Boston Celtics did more than just take care of business after humiliating the Suns with a 125-98 blowout win at the Footprint Center. The Celtics are currently sitting on […]

It’s easy to laugh and joke when you’re winning, so it makes sense that the Boston Celtics are having plenty of fun as of late. During an absolute 125-98 rout of the Phoenix Suns, Celtics star Jayson Tatum mocked forward Grant Williams for stealing his “kiss of death” celebration. Usually reserved for clutch three-pointers, Tatum’s […]

The Boston Celtics took the Phoenix Suns to the woodshed Wednesday night for a 125-98 statement win over a fellow NBA title contender. The Celtics absolutely dominated Phoenix on both ends of the floor, and that they did that in enemy territory only made the victory even sweeter for Boston fans. However, Celtics forward Jayson […]

The Boston Celtics have been the clear-cut best team in the NBA thus far. They own the league’s best record thanks in large part to massive steps forward from their two superstar swingmen in Jaylen Brown and Jayson Tatum. In a recent interview with Bally Sports’ Scoop B Robinson, Jaylen Brown was asked where he […]

Jayson Tatum and the Boston Celtics are the scariest team in the entire NBA. They have the numbers to prove that. While the Celtics have already lost five times this season, it’s worth noting that they have yet to bow down to a Western Conference team. Four of their losses came from the Cleveland Cavaliers […]

If there’s anything Chris Paul, Devin Booker, and the Phoenix Suns want to forget, it’s the embarrassing Game 7 loss they suffered at the hands of Luka Doncic and the Dallas Mavericks during the second round of last year’s playoffs. However, Jayson Tatum, Jaylen Brown, and the rest of the Boston Celtics don’t want anyone […]

The Boston Celtics are 25 games into their 2022-23 campaign, and what a fantastic start it has been. At 20-5, the Celtics sit atop the NBA standings with the league’s best record, and much of that is due to the stellar play of Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown. But in addition to Boston’s burgeoning superstars, […]

There’s a new sheriff in town and his name is Jayson Tatum. This is at least when it comes to the current MVP odds after the Boston Celtics superstar surpassed previous favorite Luka Doncic to be the top bet for this season’s NBA Most Valuable Player winner.

The Toronto Raptors have endured a plethora of injury woes to begin the 2022-23 campaign.

Anunoby has played in all 24 games, averaging career-highs in points, rebounds, and steals per […]

The Boston Celtics wanted to bounce back two days after their heartbreaking overtime loss to the Miami Heat, and they did just that after they took home a 103-92 win over rivals Brooklyn Nets on the road. Jayson Tatum, in particular, was able to bounce back from a rough shooting night last Friday, after he […]

Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown have powered the Boston Celtics to the best record in the NBA this season. Tatum is playing at an MVP-level while Brown is sure to make his second All-Star appearance. After Sunday’s win on the road against the Brooklyn Nets, Brown’s statline of 34 points and ten rebounds put him […]

A member of the Boston Celtics from 1998-2013, Paul Pierce evidently bleeds green. Having been retired since the conclusion of the 2016-17 season, Pierce is still expressive of his love for the team he led to a championship in 2008. And for good reason: the Celtics are one of the best teams in today’s NBA, […]

Udonis Haslem got himself some game action on Wednesday night as the Boston Celtics hosted the Miami Heat at the TD Garden. This was the Heat vet’s third appearance of the season, and unfortunately for him, he had the unenviable task of defending Jayson Tatum on the perimeter at one point in the game. The […]

With about a quarter of the season officially in the books, it feels like a good time to revisit our top fantasy basketball power forwards rankings and […]

Jayson Tatum and the Boston Celtics have looked like a team on a mission this season. Well, I guess they are on a mission after losing the NBA Finals last season. Nevertheless, there was a lot of skepticism entering the season with the Ime Udoka fiasco. With Udoka’s suspension, that left Joe Mazzulla as the […]

Kevin Durant himself dropped 39 points on Wednesday night, but even the Brooklyn Nets star couldn’t help but be impressed with what Devin Booker and Jayson Tatum did in their respective games. Booker exploded for 51 points to help the Phoenix Suns take down the Chicago Bulls, 132-113. And he did it in an incredibly […]

After another win Wednesday night for the red-hot Boston Celtics, Jayson Tatum made NBA history. During Boston’s 134-121 win over the Miami Heat, Tatum put up a whopping 49 points and became the youngest player in league history to make 900 3-pointers. Jayson Tatum just became the youngest player in NBA History to reach 900 […]

Jayson Tatum’s monster game on Wednesday has Kendrick Perkins seeing the Larry O’Brien trophy in the future of the Boston Celtics. Tatum exploded for a monster double-double of 49 points and 11 rebounds to lead the Celtics to the 134-121 victory. He went 15-of-25 from the field, including 8-of-12 from the 3-point line as the […]

Boston Celtics star Jayson Tatum has simply taken his game to the next level. Tatum has scored 30+ points in each of his last three games leading up to their Wednesday night tilt against the Miami Heat, and he’s been the chief driving force behind the Celtics’ league-leading offense. But unfathomably, Tatum played at an […]

At this point, it is no longer surprising to hear Jayson Tatum’s name uttered in the same breath as that of Boston Celtics legend Larry Bird. Tatum has us singing his praises yet again after another remarkable feat during Wednesday’s matchup against the Miami Heat. After reaching the 30-point mark yet again, Tatum is now […]

After more than one month of NBA basketball, some players are carving their names in the power rankings for for Most Valuable Player. That includes veteran superstars who have already won the award, plus several younger players vying for their first Maurice Podoloff Trophy. From historic stat lines to game-winners and 50-point performances, these players […]

The NBA is a star-powered league these days, but the Boston Celtics’ bench has been just as pivotal to the team’s hot start during the 2022-23 season. While Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown have played phenomenally for the C’s, the guys coming off the pine are also putting up ridiculous numbers that have boosted Boston […]

The Boston Celtics did it all during their blowout win over the Charlotte Hornets. They racked up 140 points, had players set career highs, and tied an impressive league record. After a 45-point first quarter from the Celtics, the game was over before it started. The Green Team shot an incredible 59.1 percent from the […]

The NBA regular season is only a quarter of the way through, so it’s still very early, but the Boston Celtics look like the best team in the world. The team has won 12 of its last 13 games and holds the top record in the league at 16-4, all without Robert Williams, who will […]

The Boston Celtics continue to prove they are the best team in the NBA after their latest win against the Washington Wizards, but Jaylen Brown thinks they have yet to reach their peak. Brown has every reason to say that, though, as the Celtics took down the Bradley Beal-led Wizards without their top player in […]

The Boston Celtics were without superstar swingman Jayson Tatum on Sunday night as they took on the Washington Wizards. This did not turn out to be much of an issue for them, though, with Jaylen Brown stepping up to the plate without his backcourt running mate. Brown exploded for a season-high 36 points on 13-of-23 […]

The Boston Celtics are taking a cautious approach to Jayson Tatum’s sprained left ankle, and rightfully so. The team released its injury report for Sunday’s game against the Washington Wizards on Saturday, with the superstar forward listed as out due to his balky left ankle. Tatum was questionable for Wednesday’s game against the Dallas Mavericks […]

After Jayson Tatum helped the Boston Celtics take down the hot-handed Sacramento Kings on Friday night, all the talk has been whether or not he should be on the list of the Top 5 players in the league today. Former NBA big man-turned-analyst Kendrick Perkins didn’t like the talk at all, but for a rather […]

Last season, the Boston Celtics had the best defense in the NBA. That propelled them to the NBA Finals and they were within two wins of a championship. This season, the Celtics have done an about-face and are the top offensive team in the league. Jayson Tatum has been leading the way offensively and he […]

Jayson Tatum and Luka Doncic were locked in a tough battle for supremacy between two of the early frontrunners for MVP, and they did not disappoint. Tatum, in the end, led the Boston Celtics to a 125-112 victory over the Dallas Mavericks despite Doncic’s best efforts to pull the Mavs back to within striking distance […]

The Boston Celtics have come out of the 2022-23 gates on fire, as they now own the current best record in the NBA at 14-4, with their latest effort being a 125-112 win over Luka Doncic and the Dallas Mavericks. Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown, whom Doncic deemed as the best duo in the league, […]

Greatness recognizes greatness. That is certainly what Luka Doncic felt when he went toe-to-toe with fellow MVP candidate Jayson Tatum in an enthralling duel that saw them drop incredible scoring feats to try and will their teams to victory. However, it was Tatum’s Boston Celtics that prevailed over Doncic’s Dallas Mavericks, 125-112. The Celtics star […]
