The Boston Celtics squandered a great chance to capture all the momentum in Game 4 of the 2022 NBA Finals. They lost 107-97, allowing Stephen Curry to score 43 points. Jayson Tatum’s inefficient 23 points and Jaylen Brown’s 21 points weren’t enough. The series is now tied at 2-2.   The Celtics had leads of […]

The Miami Heat started Game 3 of their Eastern Conference Finals series against the Boston Celtics on the right foot, running out to a 21-point lead after the first quarter. The Heat led by as many as 26 points in the second quarter before that lead was trimmed down to 15 at halftime, and the […]

The Boston Celtics’ championship aspirations suffered a major blow when starting center Robert Williams III tore the meniscus in his left knee during a victory over the Minnesota Timberwolves on Sunday evening. Williams, the anchor in the middle of the NBA’s top-rated defense, is out indefinitely and will undergo surgery to repair his meniscus. Williams […]

After signing a mid-level $5.9 million taxpayer exception with the Boston Celtics, Dennis Schroder served as a terrific sixth man playing behind Marcus Smart and Jaylen Brown. With Schroder on a one-year deal only and the Celtics unlikely to re-sign him in the offseason, president of basketball operations Brad Stevens decided to ship him to […]

After several rumors about the Boston Celtics trading Dennis Schroder, they have finally found him a new home. The Houston Rockets will receive Schroder and send Daniel Theis back to Boston, according to Shams Charania of The Athletic. The Rockets will also receive Bruno Fernando and Enes Freedom, per Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN. The Boston […]

The NBA Trade Deadline is coming up and the Houston Rockets are going to move on from a few guys to try to get some draft picks and young talent to help speed up their rebuild process. We saw them trade away P.J. Tucker and James Harden last season, as the team decided to focus […]

As expected, it has been a slow and steady 2021 NBA free agency period for the Houston Rockets. Even as a multitude of teams in the Western Conference came into the offseason with an eye on bolstering their team for a possible playoff run next season, the Rockets opted for a more conservative stance instead. […]

It’s no question that the Charlotte Hornets front office will head to the free agency with one mission in mind: get the right set of players who can complement LaMelo Ball’s playstyle. After all, the incoming second-year man has proven that the hype surrounding him all these years is real. He’s one heck of a […]

The Chicago Bulls came into the 2020-21 season in a state of limbo. After nabbing the fourth pick in the 2020 NBA Draft and selecting Patrick Williams out of Florida State University, in what many pundits and draftniks believed to be a “reach,” the team had a strong young nucleus to build around including Zach […]

Chicago Bulls superstar Zach LaVine is used to being on the receiving end of alley-oops. But on Thursday against the Toronto Raptors, the two-time NBA Slam Dunk Champion was the one doing the dishing. LaVine made his Bulls teammate Daniel Theis look good twice after connecting for not one, but two alley-oop jams against the […]

After four years in Beantown, big man Daniel Theis found himself on the move once again as he was traded by the Boston Celtics at the trade deadline. He eventually posted a parting message for the Celtics organization and his former teammates via a post on Twitter. Over the last 4 years Boston became home […]

Starting for the first time all season on Friday evening, Robert Williams seized the opportunity by stuffing the stat sheet in the Boston Celtics’ win over the Milwaukee Bucks. The Celtics center tallied just seven points (3-of-5 shooting), but grabbed nine rebounds and dished out a career-best six assists to along with a whopping five […]

In a move that came in right at the deadline on Thursday, the Chicago Bulls bolstered their frontcourt a little more, adding Daniel Theis from the Boston Celtics, according to ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski. The Bulls are flipping Moe Wagner to the Celtics after agreeing to an earlier trade with the Washington Wizards. It seems that […]

The Boston Celtics fell to the Milwaukee Bucks in a closely-contested game, 121-119, on Wednesday. One of the sights from the court was Boston guard Marcus Smart and teammate Daniel Theis having an intense conversation. Theis apparently an Aaron Gordon guy: pic.twitter.com/wNRiQr1GRa — Tim McKone (@Tim_McKone) March 25, 2021 It is unknown what the two […]

Giannis Antetokounmpo admitted he was frazzled by the Milwaukee Bucks’ near late-game meltdown against Daniel Theis and the Boston Celtics at TD Garden on Wednesday. The Bucks, after all, held a commanding 25-point advantage at one point, only to allow the Celtics to climb back and nearly steal the W in the end. The Greek […]

Judging by the most recent turn of events, Boston Celtics fans and everyone else in the NBA can see that James Harden really wants out of the Houston Rockets organization sooner rather than later. The Beard has once again reportedly added two new teams to his wish list of destinations, including the Boston Celtics and […]

At first glance, Daniel Theis doesn’t look like an NBA player. He looks like one of those international villains in James Bond movies. But one thing is clear: He’s a crucial piece for the Boston Celtics in their quest for the title. Theis entered the league with little to no fanfare in 2017 as an […]

Jayson Tatum lifted the Boston Celtics over the Miami Heat in Game 5 of the Eastern Conference Finals on Friday night. However, while the young standout had a game-high 31 points on top of 10 rebounds and six assists in another all-around effort, he deflected the credit to two of his teammates. Tatum praised Celtics […]

Miami Heat forward Andre Iguodala is no stranger to physical play in the NBA Playoffs. But it looks like he let his emotions get the best of him in a rebound tussle in Game 5 of the Eastern Conference Finals on Friday night. Early in the fourth quarter, he and Boston Celtics center Daniel Theis […]

Boston Celtics forward Jayson Tatum went on a post-game interview with the guys at “Inside the NBA” following the C’s amazing Game 7 series-clinching victory over the Toronto Raptors on Friday. The 22-year-old took the opportunity to playfully call out TNT host Shaquille O’Neal for not even knowing the name of Tatum’s teammate, Daniel Theis. […]

Toronto Raptors guard Norman Powell had a huge second overtime period in Game 6 against the Boston Celtics. He continued his stellar play in Game 7 against Celtics big man Daniel Theis in the first half. Powell channeled his inner LeBron James by taking the ball coast-to-coast and finishing the play off with a monster […]

WWE legend Shawn Michaels took to Twitter to react to Toronto Raptors swingman Pascal Siakam’s kick to Boston Celtics big man Daniel Theis’ face in Game 5 on Monday. Michaels clearly found the whole situation amusing: Well, while I APPRECIATE you’ve been watching my old @WWE tapes, you may run into issues hitting sweet chin […]

The Boston Celtics figuratively hit the Toronto Raptors in the mouth in the first quarter of Monday’s Game 5, but it was Daniel Theis who literally took a lick in the face courtesy of Pascal Siakam. In a strange moment with just under four minutes to go in the opening frame and Boston up 14-5, […]

Boston Celtics center Daniel Theis called out Toronto Raptors star Kyle Lowry and his flopping tendencies after the defending champions got back in the series with a last-second 3-point shot by OG Anunoby. The Raptors, who are now trailing 2-1 in the series, saw an energetic Lowry who was tough to stop — mostly because […]

The Boston Celtics and Toronto Raptors appeared to be the top challengers to the Milwaukee Bucks throughout the 2019-20 NBA regular season. Toronto and Boston finished second and third in the East, respectively, and–despite a long hiatus–have each looked especially sharp in Orlando. The Raptors went 7-1 during the seeding games before absolutely dismantling a […]

Boston Celtics head coach Brad Stevens was highly complimentary of center Daniel Theis as the Celtics prepare for their final seeding games.

One of the most controversial moments of the season restart thus far involved league MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo, as the Milwaukee Bucks superstar was at the center of what was deemed as a potentially hostile act during his team’s matchup against the Boston Celtics on Friday. Things got a bit feisty in the close encounter between […]

For most, the Boston Celtics have exceeded expectations this season. At 39-17, Boston sits in the third spot in the Eastern Conference and have the fourth-best winning percentage in the entire NBA. With the All-Star break now in the rearview mirror, the Celtics need to put the pedal to the metal and gear up for […]

The Boston Celtics just can’t seem to get healthy as of late. On a game that saw the return of Kemba Walker and Marcus Smart to the lineup, the Celtics were without three starters in Gordon Hayward, Daniel Theis and Jaylen Brown. With the All-Star break approaching, Boston will have a chance to get back […]

Milwaukee Bucks star and reigning NBA MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo possesses a unique blend of length and athleticism that makes him nearly impossible to stop in the open floor. When you essentially force Boston Celtics guard Marcus Smart to quit on a play, you are on another planet from an offensive standpoint. Giannis Antetokounmpo did just […]

Boston Celtics center Enes Kanter can surely dunk, but we just don’t see it very often. However, the 27-year-old Turkish big man reminded fans inside the TD Garden on Friday that he can still throw it down from time to time, punching in a ferocious one-handed poster over Atlanta Hawks center Alex Len. MY GOODNESS […]

Atlanta Hawks guard Trae Young had a chance to give the Atlanta Hawks a rare two-game winning streak on Friday night, up until Boston Celtics center Daniel Theis spoiled his plans.

Los Angeles Clippers star Kawhi Leonard explained his dunk on Boston Celtics center Daniel Theis and his game-saving block of point guard Kemba Walker in the most boring way possible. Perhaps too on brand for his own good. While the two were arguably his two biggest plays of the game, Leonard resorted to giving a […]

Boston Celtics’ reserve center Daniel Theis found himself at the wrong end of a poster dunk highlight on Wednesday night. Los Angeles Clippers’ two-way superstar Kawhi Leonard completely obliterated the  27-year-old German big’s defense, as he skied over Theis for a monster one-handed stuff in the forth quarter of the Clippers’ game versus the Celtics […]

With the Atlantic Division rival New York Knicks in town, the Boston Celtics need all the magic to embarrass their foes.

The Boston Celtics made a splash when they signed Kemba Walker to replace Kyrie Irving at the point guard position, but they also lost a major frontcourt piece when Al Horford signed with the Philadelphia 76ers.

With this year’s edition of the FIBA World Cup in China just weeks away, participating teams are already in the final stages of their respective preparations.

Boston Celtics center Daniel Theis just secured a two-year, $10 million deal to return to the team. However, he will need to prove that he can contribute significantly next season, as only one year of his contract is guaranteed. The Celtics essentially have a team option on Theis’ contract, and they can pick it up […]

The Boston Celtics’ starting center job is up for grabs. Al Horford manned the position for the majority of the past three seasons, but the 33-year-old defected to the rival Philadelphia 76ers in free agency. Horford sometimes started at the four when head coach Brad Stevens inserted Aron Baynes into the first unit, but the […]
